Which radio is NOT a travel radio??
@DarrenAllatt
@DarrenAllatt Жыл бұрын
Agree, however the reference to a 'travel' radio is more that if you are going on a trip or holiday and didn't want to take a TX16S, Boxer and all your kit, you can take the smallest amount of gear and still get up and fly

Those big clunkers are nice but they definitely don't fit in my bag well. I prefer my $70 jumper t-lite with a mini elrs module to my medium sized dji radio for sure. The smaller game remote style radios are great in my opinion. I'm not speaking for this one specifically but my t-lite is my absolute favorite and cheapest I've had lol. Most comfortable, portable, ergonomic, cost effective, coolest looking, customizable, programming capabilities, and can even put cnc milled aerospace aluminum hall sensor gimbals in them if ya want! Can't do that with dji box and it's definitely WAY EASIER to fit it in my bag or even carry on my neck while inbetween flights. Its nit a huge deal but theyre absolutelyconvenientand better to have one than to not have one. Lol I love my t-lite and there are even better ones than that for sure out there. Thankfully quality radios aren't really that expensive or hard to come by like most other quality things in this hobby. The transmitters are the easiest part of it all lol

​@@robbiek9016there's points. I currently have tx16s and t-pro. As FW flyer, and also fying quad with INAV, radio with more switches is much preferred in the beginning. I need switches for autotune, auto level, auto trim, etc. But when the aircraft is already well tuned and set, bringing tx16s for travel is a pain. That's why t pro is my preferred tavel radio. BTW, I'm pre ordering pocket for more portability.

W for Radiomaster, this brinds better competetion for small controllers! Regarding to similarities with DJI controller? I don't think so, Radiomaster was pretty original with that design being conservative with the size while keeping the main focus (small and flexible) and it looks good tbh, the Jumper T-Pro was the real copy from DJI, a little bit with the Zorro

As 65$ it is better budget radio , better than zorro, I have 16s, zorro, and boxer , I love boxer more 16s too bulky, zorro gimbals not good as full size gimbals, maybe you think they are same but they don’t the feelings and movements are better with full sized gimbals , so … boxer is my choice, as I have them all , I’ll not go back go mini or pocket gimbals , and regarding the similarities to the dji I think the form factor is smilar to tango 2 more than dji!

Some of the BetaFPV Radios use a Betafpv version of ELRS, and you have to use their configurator and wait for them to update the firmware. Lite Radio 2 SE and Lite Radio 3. Jumpers T-Pro doesn’t include support for ELRS backpack.

For someone who grew fond of Fpv drones recently and had been feeling "this is my thing" , especially the tiny whoops, what will be your recommendation, shall I start with a RTF KIT or I should buy the controller, goggles and drones separately? And of RTF KIT, which kit should I go for, Cetus X or Tiny Go ver 1.3 or WhoopFly 16.
@DarrenAllatt
@DarrenAllatt 11 ай бұрын
Never buy an RTF kit. Get a Radio, learn on the sim. Get some analog goggles second hand, then learn to fly a whoop & a 5” Then after that and you’ve learned how to fly and not crash as much - go digital.

"Better" is subjective and not measurable. Price doesn't determine better either Consider this: ‣ They both have the same internal ELRS module, so no difference at all there ‣ Pocket uses 18650 batteries, has way longer battery life than Zorro ‣ Zorro uses Mini Gimbals (upgradable to AG01), while pocket has Mini ‣ Zorro is more ergonomic for multiple grip types, pocket favours Thumbs ‣ Zorro isn't as portable as the Pocket, ‣ Pocket is smaller than the Zorro so not comfortable for someone with big hands ‣ Zorro is $119, Pocket is $65, Boxer is $139 This is better vs that is better is just not something that can ever be

It's probably simply price positioning rather than actual cost. An iPad with 64gb is priced at $449 while the 256gb is $599, there extra storage doesn't cost $180, far from it. So its really just price positioning to make sure you buy a Radiomaster instead of other brands, so then when you go to buy your next radio to upgrade, you'd go for the Zorro, the Boxer, the Tx16S instead of looking elsewhere

I don’t understand why EVERYONE recommends the ELRS versions of these radios. The 4 in 1 version is cheaper and the higher performance 1W nano Ranger ELRS module is cheaper than the external 4 in 1 modules. You can get better radio transmitter performance for less money by choosing the radio version with the in built 4 in 1 module and adding the ELRS module after.
@DarrenAllatt
@DarrenAllatt Жыл бұрын
4in1 isn’t “higher performance” than ELRS regales of power output. Why save $10 to then have to spend $40 to get ELRS There isn’t a 4in1 version, only CC2500 which is Frsky & Flysky 4in1 is pointless today anyway, everything is ELRS or crossfire. 250mw is good for 30kms and is not 4x more powerful than 1w anyway 1w is 30dBm, while 250mw is 24bm You don’t need the extra power and if you do, then get the external module, sure it’s $10 more but you are not having to always have an external module on your radio.

For what it’s worth, I have the Tango 2 Pro and I absolutely hate having to put an extension module on the back to use ELRS. The radio doesn’t sit properly when you put it down, it has two antennas unless you keep removing them, and it just generally messes up the weight and ergonomics. I’m looking at this purely to avoid having an external module. Hope that experience helps someone out there to decide!
