Holybro Kakute H7 v1.5 Flight Controller with Bluetooth & Dual 4in1 ESC Ports – Supports Betaflight, ArduPilot, INAV

Overview

The Holybro Kakute H7 v1.5 Flight Controller is a high-performance, feature-packed flight controller designed for professional FPV pilots and UAV developers. Powered by the STM32H743 processor running at 480MHz, it offers exceptional computational power, an integrated Bluetooth module (ESP32-C3), and support for up to 8S input voltage. Compatible with Betaflight 4.5.2+, ArduPilot, and INAV, it delivers unmatched flexibility across a range of flight platforms including quadcopters, octocopters, and CineLifters.

The updated v1.5 version replaces the MPU6000 with the ICM-42688-P IMU, fully supported in Betaflight 4.5.2 and later.
