I think what people need to bear in mind is this is a fairly new tech for Mini Quads (Android on TX) the idea is amazing and the more we promote and feedback I can see Android TX’s being the future standard 👍🏼

OK, so it’s a year later, and I’d love to hear about a follow up on your thoughts of this radio. Although I’m not a drone racer (but I’ve thought about getting into drones latwr), I AM a car racer who is about to get back into the hobby. Would you say that the Surface version of this radio (the DX6R) is worth checking out based on your experience with the iX12?

@okcrc6 жыл бұрын
My only problem with spektrum is that I feel like it's way overpriced. The ix12 is $600-$700 compared to $250 for a x9d plus SE. Has spektrum added enough value to warrant the $350 price difference?
@okcrc6 жыл бұрын
Mark Evans I've been in RC for 30+ years and overpriced is still overpriced. Nowadays frsky is a proven reliable option. It's like the legacy brands just ignore that and expect their customers to continue to pay a premium for something that in my opinion doesn't warrant the high price tag. I wouldn't pay $3000 for a 40inch flat screen tv today just because that's what they used to cost. I still have some old futaba, airtronics, and even some first generation spektrum transmitters. While I have paid the premiums that were basically required to get into the air in years past I still find the latest generation of spektrum transmitters to be overpriced when compared to alternatives.
@okcrc6 жыл бұрын
Farmer Fpv well I most certainly am not new. Just because something is expensive doesn't make it better. My TV analogy is also valid. The fact that it used to cost exorbitant money doesn't validate its value. Back then futaba, jr, and airtronics were the only real options. I wouldn't of trusted the frsky, flysky, and hobbyking transmitters when they were new to the market, but they are now tried and true. I've lost aircraft due radio failures on all platforms. FYI I fly 3d planes, collective pitch helis, and now FPV mini quads so I'm very experienced in this hobby. I'm also an AMA member/dissenter only because I'm forced to be due to their inability to defend our rights. I also am not a fan of adding android to a transmitter.
@okcrc6 жыл бұрын
Farmer Fpv well I'm experienced in almost everything rc related and not just a fan boy of any paticular brand. I'm unbiased in my criticism of the price point so yeah my opinion is relevant. I hope you enjoy your $600 transmitter that I don't believe is any better than my taranis. Where is the value? I don't doubt the quality of the ix12 I just no longer see the point of overspending on it.
@okcrc6 жыл бұрын
Farmer Fpv you seriously don't pay attention to what what your reading. I in no way think my taranis is better. It is probably a better value though. I also agree on the gimbal point. But that doesn't warrant the $350 price difference. (Edit: drew says he would go back to his dx9 not x9d) Drew even stated that he was almost ready to go back to his frsky radio due to the bootup time. If they were so bad do you think he would even consider such a thing. Smh. All your credibility goes out the window when your argument has to turn to personal attacks at me. I have experience, I actively participate in the hobby, and l'm offering reasonable criticism of the price point.
@kral59326 жыл бұрын
Farmer Fpv the only fanboy here is you. The hall effect gimbals feel amazing, and yes I have tried Spektrum gimbals, they were not as good, you can adjust the tension of frsky gimbals so they were probably not the right tension for you, you are the only fanboy here, thinking something is better just because it's more expensive is just dumb.

Over a year later and the answer to all the Spektum problems is still called "FrSky". $600+ for a transmitter that requires another $200+ for a Crossfire setup to avoid the "Team Fail safe" syndrome is just nuts.. I over paid for a X9D+ SE Black Edition at $280. This and a $13 XM+ receiver gets me out to 1/4+ mile of trees and such, and past 800mw video signal easily. Fail safes are something I read about (and my buddy looses his quad in the river from).. Yeah, I know. Everyone flying an $8K plane is using Spektrum.. Lol.

Thanks for the review! I fly RC Helis and have a DX6 and a DX9 and would love to get an ix12. Now for my other radios I use a Pulse 4000mAh LiPo pack which feels to last forever at least compared to the rechargeable AA’s I used before (my DX9 was used so don’t have a charger for it so never tested the stock battery). I am wondering if that is possible on the ix12. On my radios you just remove the whole plastic enclosure and the LiPo fits right in. And the radio allows you to change what battery type you have for accurate battery level measurement. I do have to unplug it for recharging but then I use a small 50W charger and it’s ready in about 45 minutes charging at 1C. Could be done in about 25 minutes at 2C but I am ok like that. So wondering if you can take some video of that (at least the back battery slot) and probably test that battery out. Cheers!

@Joshua McIvor About a year ago I was about to buy one. I had it for testing to see if I'd like it. And even the guy in shop told me, that why would I want to change to ix12 if I'm possibly not going to like it. (He knows me for very long time as I'm a customer for many many years.) I had it for nearly two weeks. As Le drib says,I was surprised with the time it took to turn on. Menu navigation was bit complicated but nothing I couldn't get used to after a while. Battery was draining for no reason when off. Yes Taranis is going that way (like TBS and trappy) to protect themselves but I still don't get it. It's open TX so anyone can use it. You still have options to upgrade to access or downgrade to ACCST protocol if you wish. No limitations.-yet I guess. Plastic quality of spektrum is better. It doesn't feel cheap. Jumper will have problem to run the all models module at some stage.or just exclude the Frsky one the Frsky goes full access. Jumper is a good transmitter since I got one to test and to play with for a while too. It feels cheap but it's going the right way. It's bit thinner too. For me it has same problem: it's still took big and switches and buttons feel flimsy. But, it can run all models out of the box for what a 1/3-1/4 of the price of a ix12? Touch screen is not really important to work with transmitter (it would make things easier) but it can get damaged/break easier too. (If you don't use a case of some sort) Smudges and oil from the nitro engine helicopter is not helping . It's really down to what every pilot likes/ prefers more. To me, it has all many switches that are not used and it's just a bit annoying. Size and the antenna always in the way makes it bit awkward to store or fly with do different countries. Anyway, it's just an opinion and not ment as an insult. Stick with what works best for you. All I was looking for was One transmitter to fly all my models with (I'd have to bring several since I have different models with different receivers )and it had to be compact. So in this case Taranis X-lite does all of that for relatively low cost. Even if it breaks, it's easier just to buy a new one and it won't hurt as much. No need to get offended sir.
@miklosko33555 жыл бұрын
@Joshua McIvor I apologize for making it sound like that too. I still have spektrum and I have to agree it is way easier to setup and work on/with. Ix12 is a top range transmitter and has spec like no other. The price is the only downside. It was/is something that nobody has done before. Spektrum changed the whore RC. Thanks to spektrum, we have the digital retransmission and frequency hopping. Spektrum opened whole new world for us. I'm still using spektrum for my helicopters. I'm too used to the pinching with it and the setup is bit more complex with the beast X build in flight controller. Just too much hassle to change it over to Frsky. I had really great time over the years with it it's just recently (about a year ago) I started to feel the need to upgrade . Especially with so many different quads and receivers on them and I had to carry and charge all the extra stuff to fly. Frsky hasn't failed me -yet! (Knock knock) But I'd really like to upgrade to xfire (crossfire) for that extra safety not so much for long range . Just to be sure that I'm not going to fall out of sky when I fly behind dense trees or behind some houses sheds and so. There are certainly pluses to the full size transmitter (holds better in hands and the stick resolution is better) than the X-lite. It's the compactness and form factor (as an old gamer I kinda like the game pad style ) transmitter. It just feels natural. I'm definitely not hating on spektrum. Sorry again for making it sound like that. Thank you for your reply and understanding. Have a nice day sir!

Dude its basically a cell phone... does your phone stay charged longer than a day? Didnt think so. And come on man 2 minutes boot up. How fast do you really need to stary a radio up to go fly? If snything it sluggish... but your issues are irrelivant.. however thanks for the bataware advice.

Hmm, I have to question the strategy of building an R/C Tx around an Android tablet. To me, that's a BAD idea.

Wow I just started searching for reviews of the iX12, I liked the inclusion of a push button on the top left and all programming features listed on Horizon website. This is shockingly bad after the updates, I couldn't live with this. Very disappointed, I wanted a powerful DSM2/DSMX upgrade from my old JR DSX9 and thought I had found it 😢

Thanks for the review update. What a pain in the ass. I'm looking for a new radio now that JR is a gone burger. From watching this I won't be buying a Spektrum IX12. My JR still works perfect and it must be 10 + yrs old. Might end up getting a Futaba. Expensive but reliable.

It is horrible it is not Fr Sky Taranis and Open TX. And worse yet, it is Spektrum!

My dx6e change model in 5 sec 👍 but I might still buy a taranis Q X7 because every new bnf that’s come out are in frysky 😒 and why the fuck do I need to buy a dongle to fly a sim on my PC ??? The Q X7 as a usb port standard!!! 👍

The title of this video already suggests that it’s obvious the radio is pretty trash.
