When I did an earlier build that used that canopy I hot glued the camera to the canopy and that got me about a 20 degree angle, but the lens bit was stuck about 8mm out of the hole, so you lose the protection. You might be able to find a way around it. Maybe try one of the other adaptors. That quad comes with the C03 camera if it's the 2022 version. I think the default is 30 degrees (most BetaFPV whoops come with 30 degrees), the other adaptor should be less. So try swapping the adaptor to the 20 degree one. It should slow down the flight speed a touch and make it more manageable while being flown indoors.

You can only adjust the camera between I think 30 and 35 degrees.  Only one of the spare adaptors will work.  You get three adaptors with it, but one adaptor is for the C02 camera and two are for the C03 camera.  They have set angles.

I'd say go with Seismic's suggestion on the air canopy maybe, if you are trying to keep it light.  If you wanted to set like a 0 degree angle, like straight forward with no angle, then the Lite canopy is the only one that can do that, that I know of.  Same if you want to set say a 10-20 degree angle.  The other canopies are more orientated to people that fly whoops with a 30-40 degree angle.

how do I know which one of the 2 that came with it it's the 20° one?
One looks very similar to the one that's already installed, and the other one is thinner, but I saw someone on reddit saying that one doesn't even fit. I'm trying to find the photos he posted but can't find them now.

edit: I think I found the answer in the link you just posted, will try it out. thanks!

I did it, it worked!!! Some pictures for reference:

This is the before with the 30° angle:


And this with the new 20° angle:





This is after dissasembling everything, before taking off the 30° mount. I thought it was glued or something at first because it didn't go out so easily, but eventually it did, and the replace was easy after that. I had to unscrew the VTX too:

It's fun isn't it? The Micro Lite is so much easier to work with. I think they got some blowback after they released the Micro canopy, because within a few weeks the Micro Lite appeared.

Anyway, go have fun.

You guys are having too much fun 

It has been ages since I built a tiny whoop. Hmmm. 

Maybe there is one in my future!   

I'm having an issue now, the quad is now showing "BADRX" for some reason. But I actually don't notice any difference. Also, what would be an obvious upgrade to get better signal for the quad to have a longer range of distance?

ELRS? Make sure the enamel wire is out of the canopy. Range wise, increase the radio power. Jack it up to 100mW.

The M65 is limited in range by the batteries it uses. 1S is the weakest level of battery that we use. You would need to make some upgrades away from 65mm to at least 85mm and 2S. On a 2S 660mAh Lipo, you can get 1000m. It's seat of your pants level, but it can be done. On a 65mm, you might be able to go 200m, but if it's windy, you might lack the power or thrust to get it back. A Meteor65 is designed for indoors and maybe some outdoors when there is no wind.

If you want to fly outside full time like most of us, you need to move to a bigger quad that uses 2-3S and is ideally open prop. Whoops are good for learning on, but pilots outgrow them fairly quickly. I think the vast majority of people fly 2-6S. Some specialise in 1S whoops.
