369DRONE Air Brushless Flight Controller,G4 5IN1 Review
One 1S board from BETAFPV that combines the FC, ESC, OSD, VTX and a Serial ELRS 2.4G receiver, with a 26mm x 26mm mounting hole size and a listed weight of 3.6g. The listing aims it at advanced pilots. Listed at $51.

Our verdict
A 1S board with the FC, ESC, OSD, VTX and an ELRS 2.4G receiver on one 26mm x 26mm mounting, for someone who is comfortable soldering the motor wires, since the listing says motor connections are by soldering only. Look elsewhere if you are a beginner, because the listing itself points beginners to the Matrix FC, or if you need an input voltage other than 1S. The main caveat is that the listing says the G473 processor gives 55% higher computing power than the F411, and that is the maker's own figure.
- Best for
- Builders of a 1S whoop who want an FC, ESC, OSD, VTX and ELRS receiver on one 26mm x 26mm board.
- Skip if
- You are a beginner, since the listing points beginners to the Matrix FC, or you need an input voltage other than 1S.
Built around the STM32G473CEU6 CPU, this board puts the FC, ESC, OSD, VTX and a Serial ELRS 2.4G (V3.4.3) receiver on one 1S board, and the listing gives its weight as 3.6g. The mounting hole size is 26mm x 26mm, the gyro is an ICM42688P with an SPI connection, and the built-in ESC is listed as 5A continuous. The listing also gives 16MB of blackbox memory and a 5V / 3A BEC. It costs $51 as a single option.

Options and pricing
There is one variant at $51, so the price does not change with options. The listing calls this the 5IN1 version and describes no other version. Input voltage is 1S, the mounting hole size is 26mm x 26mm and the weight is 3.6g. The VTX output power levels are 25 / 100 / 200 / 400 / PIT, the signal support is D-shot300 and D-shot600, and the USB port is SH1.0 4-Pin.
How it compares
The Foxeer H7 Mini MPU6000 FC 8S Dual BEC Barometer is $104 and lists 3-8S (up to 36V), 35x35mm (30.5x30.5mm mounting) and approx. 8g, against this board's $51, 1S, 26mm x 26mm and 3.6g, so the two use different mounting patterns and input voltages and do not replace each other. The 0702 II 30000KV Brushless Motors(4PCS) at $49 are motors, not a controller; both list 1S, but this listing does not say they connect to this board.
Shipping and processing
- Processing. The store's shipping policy says every order, including orders placed through the Shop app, ships from its warehouse in Japan and is dispatched within 1-3 business days after payment is confirmed (checked 2026-11-11).
- Shipping cost. The policy gives a flat 800 JPY inside Japan and 5,000 JPY to eligible countries for parcels up to 2 kg, and gives no rate for heavier parcels. It does not list the eligible countries; the store's country selector offers the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand, and the terms of service reserve the right to limit sales to any region, so the checkout is the final test. At the rate the store used for US prices when we looked (about 0.00642 USD per JPY), 5,000 JPY is about $32; the checkout shows the exact amount.
- Duties and taxes. The policy says import duties, taxes and customs clearance fees are not included in the price or the shipping cost, are charged to the recipient by the carrier (it names DHL, FedEx and Japan Post) and are outside the store's control. It declares the full value of the goods on customs papers and cannot mark a parcel as a gift or declare less. A parcel held for unpaid duties is not delivered, and if the carrier sends it back the return shipping is deducted from any refund.
- Tracking. A tracking number is issued once the parcel ships. For international parcels it can take a few days to show up, and it can change when the parcel is handed from one carrier to another.
Returns and warranty
- Returns. The store's refund policy gives 30 days after receiving an item to request a return. The item must be in the condition received, unworn or unused, with tags and in its original packaging, and you need the receipt or proof of purchase. Use the contact page first: if the return is accepted the store sends a return shipping label and instructions, and items sent back without a request are not accepted. The policy does not say who pays the return shipping on a change-of-mind return. Refunds go to the original payment method within 10 business days after the store has received and inspected the item (checked 2026-11-11).
- Not returnable. The refund policy lists custom products (special orders and personalized items), perishable goods, personal care goods, hazardous materials, flammable liquids and gases, sale items and gift cards. The legal notice, which is in Japanese, adds made-to-order items, digital downloads once downloaded, and goods whose value was lost through the buyer's use or modification. For an exchange the policy says to return the item and, once the return is accepted, buy the new one separately.
- Damaged or wrong items. The refund policy asks buyers to inspect an order on arrival and to contact the store at once about a defective, damaged or wrong item so that it can evaluate the issue and make it right. The legal notice says the store exchanges or refunds such an item at its own cost.
- Warranty. The shipping policy, refund policy and legal notice describe no warranty, and we found no warranty page. The terms of service say products are provided 'as is' except as the store expressly states, disclaim warranties, and are governed by Japanese law. Many of the parts this store sells are made by other brands; nothing says whether the store or the maker handles a fault that appears after the item has been in use (checked 2026-11-11).
Before you buy
369DRONE describes itself as an FPV racing drone brand from Japan. Its About page says the founder, Daichi Sakakibara, spent over a decade as a test driver at Toyota Motor Corporation and builds products with experience from racing. These are the store's own statements (checked 2026-11-11).
The store is in Japan and quotes yen. The price on this page is its United States dollar price as of 2026-11-11; the store converts at its own rate, which moves, and a visitor in another country can see a different amount or currency.
The legal notice, written in Japanese, says the products are meant for FPV drone racing and hobby use, asks buyers to follow the Aviation Act, the Radio Act and other laws, and says the store takes no responsibility for damage caused by use that breaks the law. Those are Japan's laws. We have not checked what applies where you live and we do not say whether this product can be flown or operated legally in your country.
The English refund policy takes back items that are "unworn or unused", while the Japanese legal notice says, as we read it, unused and unopened, so check the condition rule with the store before opening the package. We have not read any independent review of this product or of the store.
What we liked
- The table gives the mounting hole size (26mm x 26mm), the input voltage (1S) and the weight (3.6g)
- The listing names the CPU (STM32G473CEU6), the gyro (ICM42688P) and the FC firmware (Betaflight_4.5.0_BETAFPVG473)
- A Serial ELRS 2.4G (V3.4.3) receiver and a 5.8GHz VTX with 25 / 100 / 200 / 400 / PIT output levels sit on the same board
- The listing gives 16MB of blackbox memory, a 5V / 3A BEC and a built-in ESC listed as 5A continuous
- Signal support (D-shot300, D-shot600) and VTX channel control (SmartAudio 2.0) are named
Worth noting
- The listing says motor connections are by soldering only
- The listing says the board is aimed at advanced pilots and points beginners to the Matrix FC instead
- The built-in ESC is listed as 5A continuous with no burst figure

What we couldn’t verify
- The listing says the G473 processor gives 55% higher computing power than the F411 and that the ICM42688P gyro gives accurate and stable flight control; these are the maker's claims and figures that we could not check.
- The listing's VTX power notice refers to output data measured at the R1, R3, R5 and R7 frequency points, but that data is not in the listing text, so we could not check it.
- The listing says higher VTX output levels increase power consumption and heat and reduce flight time, with no figures behind that statement.
- We have not read any independent review of this product or of the store; the About page is the store's own account.
- The English refund policy takes back items that are unworn or unused, while the Japanese legal notice says unused and unopened; we could not tell which rule applies.
- The store's pages describe no warranty and its terms provide goods 'as is'; we could not tell who handles a fault that appears after use.
