About two weeks ago, I received a message from BetaFPV regarding the opportunity to review their upcoming Aquila20 HD, the company’s first FPV kit built around the new ArtLynk digital VTX system. Today, December 12, the kit is officially being released to the public with a recommended retail price of $359. This price includes the drone, a 1100mAh flight battery, the LiteRadio 4SE radio controller, and the VR04 FPV goggles.
The ‘HD’ edition is based on the original Aquila20’s hardware, using the same 20-class whoop frame, AIO flight controller, and 1103 10500KV motors. The only difference is that instead of a 25mW–350mW analog VTX, it comes equipped with the new digital P1 HD VTX powered by the Artosyn chipset, which provides crystal-clear, low-latency transmission and onboard 1080p video recording similar to the DJI Air Unit system.
Designed with new pilots in mind, the BetaFPV Aquila20 HD features three flight modes (N/S/M) and a crash-proof frame with an inverted duct system that helps protect the lens and internal components.
The package is a true ready-to-fly bundle, including the drone, controller, goggles, and all necessary accessories. Because everything you need is already in the box, this combo is perfect to place under the Christmas tree for anyone looking to start their FPV journey during the holiday season.
A full, detailed review—covering flight performance, video quality, durability, and overall user experience—will be published in about two weeks, after receiving the kit and completing extensive testing.
