Haha I don’t wear a neck strap to balance the radio, I use it to keep my slow self from dropping it 😂

As a FPV noob I'd love videos like this on entry level good equipment, so as to know the whole package I'd have to buy to get started, without paying over $200 in any single item. Thanks!

I have this radio one month ago and it changed my visión completely... little, light, all standard features than a normal user needs, with possibility for TBS module... And cheap.. Very cheap but with decent quality... Is true.. A diode for battery inverted protection is important... But is it a problem for us...??? Yes is true that is not a Tango or other "se mi-premium" radio. .. And in the other side if it drops by accident from 7th floor or to the lake is not neccesary an "harakiri".. Is cheap and has a place in my bag... Thank you for your videos...Best wishes from Spain.

Just installed EdgeTX 2.9.0 and Express LRS 3.3.0 on my Jumper T-Lite ELRS. And it does basically everything I could ask of any radio even at three times the cost. Very happy with mine.

13:10 Xjet just had a heart attack after seeing you remove the plastics. 😬

I"m Whereverimayroam, and I'm gonna learn 5 or 6 somethings today because I can't stop watching these videos one after the other after the other after.......

Just started playing elite dangerous with my transmitter and this looks like a perfect replacement for my flysky

5 cent diode would prevent them from selling you another $75 radio.

Have been looking forward to a review of this by you to see if I can finally move on from my trusty turnigy evolution without having to bin all the receivers!

A quick, cheap & easy source of 18650 cells for this sort of application is USB powerbanks. Poundland here in the UK sell £1 powerbanks containing a 1200mAh 18650 cell, and £2 ones contain a 2200mAh 18650 cell. They both have spot welded tabs on which you can solder wires directly to, or rip the tabs off and use them as loose cells. The charging/5v output circuitboard in them can be useful too, I combined a £2 powerbank with a £1 COB LED head torch from there with a custom 3D print into a USB rechargeable head torch which has about 4 hours runtime.

If anyone is debating between this and the cheaper BetaFPV LiteRadio 2, I highly recommend spending the extra money for this. My LiteRadio 2 worked great for about 2 weeks, then the connections to the potentiometer broke inside and made it basically unflyable.

I pre ordered a tango 2 for my first controller very excited to get it in my hands

I bought the low priced Jumper for flying my tiny whoops. I have a smaller bag to carry to the park.

I was very close to buying one of these as my first FPV radio but i went with the TX16S and from all the reviews it seems like ive made a good choice

I'm buying this for playing liftoff / DRL! Great vids man!

really enjoyed this advertisement for the TBS Tango 2, lol

My DX7s is getting old so I figured I'd grab one of these as either a supplement for micros and non-spektrum stuff or to replace it. After using it a bit I think I like it well enough to sell my DX7s on Ebay, where the current prices for DX7s is insanely over $100.

By the way I love the botgrinder shirt 👍👍

Thx JB! I too have kicked Frsky to the curb. Even after buying a Horus some years ago. I have a RM TX16s with a TBS crossfire module. I am slowly moving my receivers over. 5 down and about 7 more to go.

For a beginner like me - who’s always on the budget - the ergonomics and all limitations are forgivable. maybe even unnoticeable.

I was really interested in this radio when it was first announced. Im SO GLAD i waited! Honestly, there is just way too many problems. I mean the entire battery and power situation is a flat out dealbreaker. Thank you JB!

Hey JB, you might recognize my name since I've been harping on you for this review over the last couple of streams you've done! First off, thank you so much for the review, and all your excellent content for that matter. Hopefully the super chats and Patreon subscription help offset the bother! :D I've watched every single T-Lite video on YT and was just waiting for yours as I value your opinion above any else's on YT. I ended up buying this radio (using your affiliate link!) as it seems the negatives will be a non issue for the reason I bought it for. I got it for my wife, who is 5'3" and has very thin fingers and petite hands, so the ergonomics should actually fit her quite well. It'll be her first radio and she'll primarily be flying RC planes LOS, so range issues are not a concern. She'll also need it for simulator work and buddy boxing with me and my TX16S (bought on your recommendation, using your affiliate link!). Anyway, I presume it'll work great for us! PS - My theory on Jumper not every releasing a "perfect" version one of their products is due to Radiomaster. RM has been releasing near identical products to Jumper and doing it much better, IMO. That must make Jumper feel like they have to get products to market ASAP in order to get all the sales possible before RM releases a better version!

I like the disclaimer that although it is a decent to radio there's a good chance that jumper will release another one or the fact that radio Master could possibly release one. I have the t16 and really want the t16s or even the radio Master .. Thanks for all you do MR. Bardwell

AngryPepper here, another great job Joshua, well I did buy this as my first as at the time I couldn’t afford the Radio Master. I guess it’s not the worst, but I will checkout your radio roundup to make my final choice.I do want Crossfire eventually but I don’t think I’ll buy for this one anyway. Since I’ve just started in fpv I know I want some of those tiny whoops and this should be a decent size and protocol for at least those.

I really considerd this radio..just starting out .came across the 9xd turnigy .bought it used ,and the external module is the mxt 90 that will only ppm . the thing will bind to my old echine copters but not hubsan or my new echines..im new to all this so i was thinking of this radio or buying a new 4-1 mode for the 9xd

I just picked up my first radio and I went with the radio master TX12 over the t-lite. The TX12 was about $25 more, but being crossfire ready was what sold me.

I don't even notice I'm holding a controller when running this. I'm happy with it.

Iv just ordered a jumper t pro for my first controller with ev800d goggles & a meteor 75

*4:24** in Patrick’s voice* FIRMLY GRASP IT!!!

Excellent video Joshua

Joshua, love your BG shirt

I just got a Jumper T lite in the mail and the Battery bay problem is fixed its holding my 18650 nicely.

Always enjoy your episodes. Just saw a video on the radiomaster t8 pro looks cool.

I bought one for my daughter but probably I ll use it for holidays , very nice to have a small radio.

I loved the black and white moments. 🤣

I bought a LG M36 3600mah cell so that I don't ever need to change the battery and just charge it internally avoiding any reverse polarity issues.

I don't know why you keep recommending the betafpv literadio2. tone of issues with gimbals for it over the forums and personally my roll gimbal starts getting glitchy after few uses on the sim.

Yes

late to the party, but dress it in a silicon cover and it's the perfect aeroplane radio for small dlg and park flyers - feels good in the hand, and way light to hold

I had just started watching this video when mine came in.

i realy would like to know where im wrong.. in the low pricepoint you dont use crossfire if you want to spent more bugs for better you can although go FULL DJI so crossfire is actualy only for the ppl who allready have stuff running on it so the crossfire option is only for the ppl who are a long time into the hobby while its completly obsolet with the newer better dji system (except if your racing professionaly??)

Bought it in December and still waiting for it, ah.. reviewers powers! You got 2 for feee 😁 I have a radiomaster already but I wanted something to bring with me on holiday;)

There's a reason the xlite originally used 2 18500 cells its very difficult to build a radio that can function off a single 18650 cell reliably. A protection diode would just exacerbate the problem even a Schottky diode has few tenths of a volt voltage drop. The primary focus of this design was to as compact as possible radio that can do multiprotocol. In this regard there are virtually zero compromises. Adding the crossfire bay also is a great extra bonus with compromises that can be worked around until you can afford a more substantial radio.

I fly NOTHING but TINY WHOOPS! this is a perfect device for a guy like me, we appreciate the honest review JB! always #madPROPS #weBLEEDfpv !!

I ABSOLUTELY COULDN'T WAIT FOR J B TO REVIEW THIS RADIO!!!!🤣....I saw a yt video the other day where a guy named stylesuxx did a review and he pointed out some things that were a little concerning....a very bad voltage sag and binding issues as well as gimbal readings were all over the place....now I'm not a pro I'm just starting out in fpv but even I felt something was wrong lol he may have had a bad radio or a bad meter however it still makes you go hmmmmmm🤔 that on top of the things Jb pointed out really helped make up my mind on whether I'm going with this or the tango I'm a gamer so I definitely want a game style radio....if it weren't for JB's content I would probably be flying a paper clip with a rubber band with popsicle sticks! I knew nothing about this hobby but now I am a padawan👍✌

HELP: I have a tinyhawk 2 freestyle. What is the best game pad style , no fuss radio to get to bind with this specific quad ? I keep hearing about d8 compatibility? Is there game pad style that works with d8? PLEASE HELP....

in the user manual it states that button-top protected won't fit but my LG battery also fits loose.

now i need to know about buddy box and head tracking!?

I am never gonna buy a game style controller neither T-lite... I still watched the whole video just because I enjoy seeing him talking on stuffs hahaha..

you're a prophet, it does indeed have hw issues. i really liked mine at first, but it developed a permanent "key stuck" error on the SECOND day. :D turns out it's very common, and requires actual soldering skills to remove a tiny capacitor without damaging anything, so for now I'm stuck with a useless controller

I like how you say you don't receive monetary compensation for your review but you get a lot of free shit,(I'm jealous) lucky guy not trying to knock you down you've helped me out so many times keep up the good work. And I know it takes a lot of work to be posting videos every day takes time away from family thank you for all your hard work.......

Would make a great radio to practice on the sim! Will help build muscle memory

I fly and love my X-Lite, but I never switched to the ACCESS PROTOCOL I've stuck with the ACCST PROTOCOL because I do fly whoops and in D8 which as we all know is absent from the Acces Protocol. I'm a pincher aswell and I find it perfectly comfortable.

I don’t really care about a screen we just wondered more his quality of the beta FPV you should do a test

I've bought it and it eventually arrived (there's another comment of me waiting..) and I had to fix it 3 times already. The gimbals are connected with 3 thin wires, and those are keeping detaching. I'm not confident flying with it at the moment, I will check at some point if there's a way to keep the damn cables in place, maybe a drop of glue but for now I can't trust it.

for germany 25mW is the allowed maximun. if you compare for example frsky to crossfire it's still a big step up using 25mW with crossfire. (that probably counts for whole eu).

Joshua, are you still going to review the skyzone cobra goggles? I kinda like the t-lite for its price but went for a tx16s hall instead 😁😁

Just getting into FPV and have several whoops. Thought this would be great for using with a simulator to practice on before I move on to a 3inch. So I just ordered one :)

I think that shrieking and fear at End ... was from his Nose Growing ! ..... :-D

I would be very happy if the new DJI controller was even simpler than this. The ergonomics seem pretty good on it.

For me. It is good. Beter h Joystick sensor than qx7. Smaller and slighter. Conect usb type C for sim and charging is more convenient

Thx man, very informative as usual !

yes

Which Frsky Receivers does the Jumper T-lite JP4in1 work with without and extra module?: R9M, XM+, and R-XSR? (All it says is CC2500) Thanks for your help.

Just bought jumper t lite come with edge tx 2.9.2 ver but cannot connect to pc with window 11

Maybe if flying indoors with Tinyhawk or something similar, would be ok. Thanks for posting.

Cheap, compact inside backpack, nice support viture, why not for save money and buying sparepart quad 😁👍

Nice price point. I’m happy I ordered the Tango 2

The Jumper T12 pro hall is still the better choice for your first controller. It's also a solid choice for your permanent controller as well.

yay, I am early! love the vids!

would be interesting to see how these new gamepad style radios compare to the old frksy xlite and flysky Nirvana which both are capable of running edgetx...

what did you think, hall sensor in this controller or TX12 ? it's for budget beginners. Which did you recommend for that price range?

Great content ...this would be a no go for me, I guess. This type of reviews are really so appreciated!

I have used a Jumper T-Lite transmitter multi-protocol for 1.5years, and often fly drones with/without my friends. In general, I feel that transmission distance is shorter. For example; - happymodel Mobula6 1s loses the signal around 15-25m without obstacles. FrSky binding.(but expect to reach around 150m) . max RSSI is 75, not 99, strange. - BetaFPV micro drone 2s (forgot model) loses the signal around 50m.FrSky binding (but expect to reach around 400m) - I have a free style FPV drones (iFlight and gepRC) with air-unit with FrSky XM+. They lose the signal around 1km. (but expect to reach around 2km) - In general, I found city sides have radio interfere, and a huge parks without people kinda better, but not significant range improvement. Does anyone know this is normal transmission range or too short and something wrong with my T-lite? I hope T-lite has booster option or may just change antenna simply, instead of installing additional kits.

If your looking to use crossfire and have a controller you can still use for everthing your better off getting a tango 2 and add a multi module then you would be getting this controller and adding a crossfire module in my opinion considering the price isn't that much of a difference in my opinion but that being said this controller still seems like a great option for someone not looking to use crossfire.

Thanks from Brasil

I need to replace my BetaFPV LiteRadio 2 that came with my Advanced Kit 2 due to stick jitter. I am thinking about getting the T-Lite to replace it. I wouldn't recommend the LiteRadio 2 to anyone. Mine had problems right out of the box. Would the T-Lite fit in the BetaFPV case?

I like it. But since I have two of the BetaFPV Lite Transmitters with two different protocols, I think I'll hold out until I'm ready for a Teranis. Nice features no doubt.

Josh is the man .

Flattop vs button top I think. Back in 2013 I paid 499 for my Futaba10cg. What a rip compared to what's available now

I have been waiting over a month for this controller to show up

this radio is awesome and cheap!

How about the Iflight I8 or something like that??

I got a jumper for t-lite for Christmas and the yaw gimbal is not working so I resoildered it and it stopped working about a week later is there any way to completely fix it?

Tango has a oled screen, t-lite had a lcd character screen

This looks like my next radio, really wish it had at least one knob on it so I can tilt the camera up & down, I guess I could setup a 3 position switch, wonder if I could add a potentiometer or encoder...

Short version... my son turned my t-lite on with out the antenna on!!! Easy fix or not???

Don’t let the snobs fool you, this is the only transmitter you will ever need to fly quadcopters

im happy there is no diode in place, it would reduce the voltage and since its 1S it would be more dramatic as on 2S or more. the voltage drop over a diode is something about 0.2V at BEST, that would mean radio does not stop at 3.5V but at 3.7 or 3.8, than you would loose 50% or more of the capacity. maybe a mosfet as polarity protection

Hi Joshua, I’ve got another thing for you to add to your list of fixes for the T-lite V2. Have you noticed that the physical position of the switches does not correspond to their indications on the screen? On the screen A and B are on the left, C and D on the right. Not a single one of the physical switches is in the corresponding position to the screen! Why on earth would they do that? if the screen indications are to have any value it should be easy to correlate - on the Tango 2 everything lines up.

newbie here i just bought this controller and trying to find the proper simulator cable. Does it matter what cable i use. audio jack to usb. reading about dongle and compatibility with windows and such. can someone shed some light on this please. thanks

Thanks bro is done everything work perfectly now Thanks again:)

I bought the lite radio 2 SE on Monday last week. I've watched quite a couple videos of the t lite and I sorta regret buying the lite radio 2 SE.

I don’t need this, don’t want it, and probably wouldn’t even recommend it to a friend.. but there’s this part of me that just likes to watch bardwell talk about stuff so here I am 🙂

Is there a mod for using the crsf micro module on it without haven't to buy the kit or having to buy the nano module?

Hey buddy, quick question I fly fixed wing mode 4, I was wondering if you knew if this tx is capable of switching modes or switching the channel line up, thanks.

Curious if you were to pick a beginner setup: TX16S and a cheaper box goggle or the T-lite and Skyzone Cobra X? Where would you spend more $?

Im buying a used one off ebay how can i tell version 1 from version 2 ?

Dear Joshua! I have a Jumper rc TLite transmitter. How can I bind the Flysky FS-R6b 2.4 GB? Cheers, Mike

I got a drone here, controller never worked.will this bind to it?
