Betaflight Configurator is a utility program that works with your drone to enhance settings and improve flight performance. This is best for advanced drone users as there are many tools and configurations that can be confusing to new users. You'll find that this program is very robust and has a ton of features to improve almost every aspect of your drone.

Primary Features

Betaflight Configurator is a program that goes through the hardware, software and firmware of your drone and enhances all of them. Not only does it properly configure all aspects of your drone, but there are many settings you can change or customize to make your drone perfect. This is ideal for those who like their drones, but know that they can fly better. It works with both the drone itself and your controller.

One of the most unique features is that this will create a perfect 3D model of your drone on your desktop. This allows you to pick individual areas and it just looks amazing.

Types of Drones

Drone users know there are many types of drones on the market. This program works specifically for multi-rotor and fixed wing models. These tend to be the most popular, so you should have no problem connecting it to your craft.

Test Flight

The 3D model of your drone does more than just look good. It also allows you to take a test flight to see how your setting affect the flight path. This model has real world physics and will respond to your controller. Move the controller and you'll see the model fly in the air. You can use this to see if you need to increase or decrease certain settings until the flight path is perfect.

Numerous Settings

There are many settings here that advanced drone users will love. You can adjust anti-gravity, telemetry, dynamic filter and much more. There's also a default setting that allows you to put everything back the way it was. You can easily configure angle mode, beeper and many other modes. You'll notice that many of the modes don't involve flight. These modes give you more control over dips and overall performance.

Be sure to click the save button or your changes won't be saved.

Difficult for New Users

This program is not meant for new drone users or those unfamiliar with advanced programs. While Betaflight Configurator gives you lots of tools and features, it does a very poor job of explaining them or holding your hand. This program is for dedicated drone users who already understand all the terminology and are ready for a better user experience.

If you're a new user, then this program might be confusing for you.
