Can the BetaFPV Pavo25 (Bee25) Carry a 120g GoPro?
Yes, the BetaFPV Pavo25 can carry a 120g GoPro (like the HERO11 Mini), but with limitations.
🔋 Battery & Flight Time
- Recommended battery: 4S 650–850mAh LiPo
- With a naked GoPro (~30g): ~4–5 minutes of flight
- With a full GoPro (~120g): ~2–3 minutes of flight
- Heavier load = more power draw = shorter flight time and higher heat
⚙️ Hardware Requirements
- Motors: Stock 1404 4500KV can lift it, but performance drops
- Battery: Use a high C-rate (≥75C) to avoid voltage sag
- Frame: Strip off any unnecessary accessories to reduce weight
🛑 Potential Drawbacks
- Increased ESC and motor temperature
- Reduced agility and climb rate
- Poor handling in wind
- Shorter battery life
- Risk of motor burnout if pushed too hard
✅ Tips for Better Performance
- Use a "naked GoPro" (~30–35g) to lighten the load
- Fly in calm weather
- Limit aggressive maneuvers
- Consider switching to a larger cinewhoop (like Pavo30, Defender 25, or CineLog30)
