Overview
About Holybro Kakute H7 V1.3 Flight Controller.
The Holybro Kakute H7 V1.3 is a high-performance 30.5 mm FPV flight controller built around the powerful STM32H743 MCU running at 480 MHz. That H7-class processing headroom allows high gyro-sample and PID-loop rates, smooth filtering and ample resources for advanced Betaflight features, making it a popular choice for demanding freestyle, racing and long-range builds.
The V1.3 uses an MPU6000 gyro paired with a BMP280 barometer, an AT7456E OSD chip for analogue on-screen display and an optional on-board Bluetooth module for wireless configuration via the SpeedyBee/Betaflight app. Power handling is robust with a wide 2S-8S input range and dual BEC rails - 5V for the FC and peripherals plus a 9V rail rated for digital VTX units like DJI Air Unit and Caddx Vista. It offers six UARTs and dedicated JST-SH ESC and VTX ports for clean, plug-and-play stack wiring.
It targets builders who want a future-proof, plug-and-play H7 board for HD digital or analogue FPV. With 8 motor outputs it supports up to octocopter configurations, and its included grommets and standard 30.5 mm pattern make it easy to pair with 4-in-1 ESC stacks such as Holybro's Tekko32.

Buying guide
How to choose.
Choose the Kakute H7 V1.3 when you want a robust, well-supported H7 flight controller for serious FPV - its processing headroom and dual 5V/9V BEC rails make it especially suited to HD digital video systems. The dedicated 9V/3A output cleanly powers a DJI or Caddx Vista unit without an external regulator.
Pair it with a matching 30.5 mm 4-in-1 ESC such as Holybro's Tekko32 to form a complete stack; the JST-SH ESC port keeps wiring tidy. Note the V1.3 uses an MPU6000 gyro, while newer V1.5 boards moved to ICM-42688-P and a different baro, so match firmware targets and any Betaflight version requirements to the exact revision you buy.
For Indian builders the Kakute H7 is a premium-but-versatile pick covering 2S-8S builds from light freestyle to long-range. If your build is small, consider the Kakute H7 Mini (20x20) instead; for full Pixhawk-style autonomy choose a Pixhawk 6C-class autopilot.
FAQ
Common questions.
What gyro and barometer does the Kakute H7 V1.3 use?
The V1.3 revision uses an MPU6000 gyro/accelerometer with a BMP280 barometer. Later V1.5 boards switched to an ICM-42688-P gyro and a different barometer, so confirm the revision when matching Betaflight firmware targets and following setup guides for your specific board.
Can it power a DJI Air Unit or Caddx Vista directly?
Yes. The board includes a dedicated 9V/3A continuous BEC rail and a JST-SH VTX port designed for HD digital video systems such as the DJI Air Unit and Caddx Vista, so you can power and connect the VTX cleanly without an external voltage regulator.
What battery voltages does it support?
The Kakute H7 V1.3 accepts a wide 2S to 8S LiPo input. This range covers light freestyle quads through to long-range and heavier multirotors, and combined with its 8 motor outputs it can drive configurations up to octocopters.
Does it have built-in Bluetooth?
Most versions include an on-board Bluetooth module (ESP32-C3) that lets you configure the board wirelessly through the SpeedyBee or Betaflight mobile app. A no-Bluetooth SKU also exists, so check the listing if wireless setup is important to you.
How many UARTs are available?
It provides six UARTs, with UART2 typically reserved for the Bluetooth telemetry link. The remaining ports comfortably handle a receiver, digital or analogue VTX, GPS and telemetry, giving plenty of room for a fully featured FPV build.
What ESC works best with it?
Any standard 30.5 mm 4-in-1 ESC rated for your battery and motors works via the JST-SH 8-pin ESC port. Holybro's Tekko32 F4 4-in-1 ESCs are a common matched stack partner, giving a clean, plug-and-play assembly on the 30.5 x 30.5 mm pattern.
