BETAFPV Pavo20 Brushless Cinewhoop 2" 3S — F4 20A FC | ELRS V3 | 1103 8500KV | DJI O3 Ready | COB LED | BNF (O3 Not Included)

Your Gateway to HD Digital Cinewhoop — Under 150 Grams.

The BETAFPV Pavo20 is the benchmark 2-inch HD cinewhoop: lightweight enough to fly indoors, powerful enough to rip outdoors, and built from the ground up around the DJI O3 Air Unit ecosystem. If you've been waiting to jump into digital FPV cinematography with a micro platform that won't destroy furniture or cost a fortune to crash, this is the drone.

⚠️ IMPORTANT: This listing includes the Pavo20 quadcopter with FC, motors, frame, COB LED strip, and ELRS receiver. The DJI O3 Air Unit and camera are NOT included and must be purchased separately. See our store for compatible accessories.

🏗️ Frame — PA12 Cinewhoop Duct, 90mm Wheelbase, Under 150g

The Pavo20 frame is built from PA12 material with a thickened cross-section whoop duct designed around aerodynamic principles — the duct geometry actively boosts thrust rather than just protecting propellers. At a 90mm wheelbase and under 54.51g dry (no battery, no O3 unit), the entire flying system stays well under 150g ready to fly, keeping you out of heavy regulatory territory in most contexts.

The frame features an integrated injection-molded HD VTX mounting bracket with embedded copper nuts and half-thread screws — no fiddling with tightness, no stripping plastic threads, no vibration creeping in over time. The O3 Air Unit drops into the bracket cleanly. The 4-point camera side panel protects the lens from side impacts and holds ND filters without angle drift after hard crashes. An open-ended battery strap slot with side-limitation slots accommodates a wide range of 3S packs.

🧠 F4 2-3S 20A AIO Flight Controller V1 — Built for HD Digital

At just 5.92 grams, the F4 AIO FC is specifically engineered for HD digital VTX operation. Key specs:

• STM32F405 processor running at 168MHz
• ICM42688P gyroscope at 8K sample rate — same class gyro as found in premium 5" builds
• 20A continuous ESC / 25A peak — handles motor stalls without shutting down
• 9V 2A BEC dedicated to the DJI O3 Air Unit — stable power even as battery voltage drops at end of pack
• 5V 3A BEC for accessories
• DJI O3 6-pin PMU connector — plug-and-play O3 connection, no soldering required
• 16MB onboard black box for full flight data logging and tuning
• GPS support, external receiver support, multiple UART ports
• Redesigned solder pad layout and USB-C connector for easy maintenance

This FC was purpose-built for the cinewhoop use case — HD stability, clean power delivery to the O3, and enough computing headroom to run tight filtering without latency.

📡 ELRS V3 — Long Range, Low Latency

The Pavo20 ships with ExpressLRS 2.4G firmware V3 integrated into the FC. Bind it to any ELRS V3 compatible transmitter (RadioMaster, BetaFPV LiteRadio, etc.) and you have a solid, low-latency control link at micro-cinewhoop scale. Make sure your transmitter module and radio are also running ELRS V3 — version mismatch will prevent binding.

⚙️ Propulsion — 1103 8500KV + Gemfan 2015 2-Blade

The 1103 8500KV motors are tuned specifically for 2-inch props on 3S voltage — delivering strong punch and rapid throttle response in a small package. Paired with Gemfan 2015 2-blade propellers, the system is optimized for both indoor precision flying and outdoor freestyle performance. Recommended battery: 3S 450mAh–650mAh (not included). Note: the frame itself supports 2-4S, but the quadcopter as configured is tuned and recommended for 3S only.

💡 COB LED Strip — Ice Blue (Included)

The Pavo20 includes a Pavo Series COB LED strip (5V, 560mm × 4mm, ice blue) that mounts directly onto the whoop duct arms. Beyond aesthetics, the LED strip dramatically improves orientation awareness in low-light conditions and makes the drone far more visible to bystanders — useful for indoor flying in warehouses, gyms, or evening sessions.

📷 HD Digital System Compatibility

The Pavo20 bracket system supports:

• DJI O3 Air Unit → up to 1080p, dual-band transmission (recommended)
• Caddx Vista → up to 720p, low latency
• RunCam Link → compatible with popular FPV goggle systems

Camera compatibility: O3 Camera, Caddx series, RunCam series — 19mm/20mm formats. ND filter installation is vertical, and the 4-point lens panel prevents angle deviation after crashes.

⚠️ Compatibility & Setup Notes

• DJI O3 Air Unit and camera are NOT included — purchase separately
• Requires a 3S LiPo battery (450–650mAh recommended, not included)
• Requires an ELRS V3-compatible transmitter — version mismatch will prevent binding
• Do NOT flash firmware at short intervals — risk of FC bricking
• Connect battery polarity correctly — reverse polarity will damage the FC
• Betaflight pre-configured from factory; full CLI access available for advanced tuning

Who is this for? Pilots ready to enter HD digital FPV cinematography on a micro platform. Ideal if you already own or plan to buy a DJI O3 Air Unit and want a sub-150g indoor/outdoor cinewhoop that's genuinely capable. Also a great second platform for existing 5" pilots who want something more cinematic and carry-friendly.
