Best FPV Drone for Beginners? BetaFPV Pavo20 Pro with DJI O4 🚁

I did a review of the BetaFPV Pavo20 Pro with the O3 and said it was great for beginners who wanted to fly DJI. But now I've been flying it for almost a year and also have the 04 Pro version... I think I might have been wrong.

This is a long term test of the Pavo20 Pro O4 pro, the O3 was the best DJI whoop of 2024... but what about in 2025 is this still the GOAT of DJI whoops? Can it freestyle? Can it do Cinematic?
Lets find out.

Disclaimer: BetaFPV did send me the original Pavo20 Pro and recently this new one for free, no they don't get to have any say in what I do for the video, they don't get to see this before you and they don't pay me to make these videos. BetaFPV also have never had a problem with me saying anything negative about the products they send me for review. If anything we start to see quiet improvements being made by them to the quads that get reviewed based on the feedback which I think is really great.
