@billmcdonald4335 10 месяцев назад

Niiiice. Radiomaster would be nuts to _not_ sell an AG01 for the Pocket. I got an OG TX12 with a 1-watt ELRS module. My AG01 Minis cost more than the radio, module _and_ batteries combined. But now, it's a Beast - a costly Beast, but worth every penny. I think I'll do the same with the Pocket [base 4-in-1, ELRS module, AG01s when available]. Enough unit sales early on should give 'em the push they need to make the gimbals. This is definitely the thing for throwing in the bag. Hmmmm. . . I wonder if they'll sell me a unit with a green top and a pink bottom?

@NickBurnsFPV 10 месяцев назад

Ah a two tone radio case would be a fun combo. I do think your right if the popularity of the radio is large enough they might find the motivation to make the cnc gimbals for it.

Great review Nick! Seems to me this is just a Zorro in a different case with different switches, what do you think? I’m probably an oddball but I’ve gone from TX16S max, to Zorro, to Boxer, back to a Zorro Max and now will try the Pocket in hopes of finding my perfect daily driver for all my flying, long range, freestyle, etc. I truly like a really small ratio even though I have large hands.

@NickBurnsFPV 10 месяцев назад

to a degree yes, but also the gimbals are smaller and that is very important to some.

my TX12 has fallen out the back door of my truck a couple times when opening the door with no visible damage so far. Im looking for a second controler that I can keep in my truck along with a LiIon 2s quad for opportunistic flights. it was going to be a Boxer as my daily, and move my tx12 to secondary duty. I dont think I like the momentary switches, but $60 could be a compromise

@NickBurnsFPV 10 месяцев назад

@@8BiT_fpv I can't be sure stick throw is determined by gimbal size, but it would make sense if it was. On the other side, all gimbals should go from 1000-2000 via tiny maybe 1 point increments if we can precisely position them.

@8BiT_fpv 10 месяцев назад

@NickBurnsFPV hmm, sure seems the full-size gimbal spacing between those points is a bit more, like that distance from 1000 to 2000 is longer, than the smaller gimbles, 🤔 , sure felt that way, hmm lol, idk, well, maybe it is just they are larger gimbles and spaced apart where I need em, I only assumed that was the differences, like the lever distance was more, but I can see just having the longer sticks compared to the smaller gimbles possibly making feel that way.

I know that you were saying that you like to go out and fly IRL, but this looks like a simulator first radio to me. Something someone who picked up Liftoff or DRL off Steam during a sale and realized it needs an RC style radio to work best. This radio and the Orqa FPV.CTRL come up. This is $20 cheaper, looks more robust, actually has an RC transmitter in it, yada yada yada, and the choice is crystal clear. RadioMaster makes another fan who is likely going to be looking at upgrading to something like the Zorro or the Boxer in a year or two.

For the stick ends, I asume they're M3 size, just take a long M3 bolt and clip the head off.

Nick is it multi protocol my friend.

@NickBurnsFPV 10 месяцев назад

yes, the cc2500 version is multi protocol but not as many protocol as the traditional 4in1. The cc2500 supports these protocols Corona, Hitec, Futaba S-FHSS, Frsky D16/D8, Radiolink, and Graupner HoTT.

The latching shoulder buttons are questionable because they're prone to getting sticky/stuck.

@NickBurnsFPV 9 месяцев назад

Have that happen on another radio? Tango II?

@GoatZilla 9 месяцев назад

@@NickBurnsFPV No, just all latching switches of that type in general. They get dirty and then they get weird. I don't think I've ever seen a push latch that didn't get weird at some point. So what happens is you start having to press them multiple times to make sure you get to the right state. And unfortunately it's very likely to put arm/disarm on one of those, so I can't imagine a worse situation to have a stuck latch.

If it's M3, couldn't you just lop the head off a long M3 screw and make an adapter to a traditional stick end? Might need an additional nut to lock with.

@NickBurnsFPV 10 месяцев назад

I feel like an old curmudgeon as I am unable to effectively use the buttons. I to would like to see a smaller version of the zorro, but with the ag01 minis and full sized 18650 or even better the ability to use a large 5000mah 2s battery.

@lemonsquareFPV 10 месяцев назад

Jumper T20. I played with it for an hour and I liked it a lot. It’s a good design. I didn’t like the Boxer too much and had it with the AG01s for a few months. It never fit as well as it could of. With a bunch of modifications, dropped gimbals, and switch changes it was okay, but not good enough. I have been designing my own radio for quite a few months and it’s actually very similar, footprint wise, to the T20, but a little more fitted to my hands. But stock radio wise, never liked anything as well as the Jumper T20, my friend has had his for a couple of months and is loving it. Maybe try a friends out, they will be more widely available soon, a few others I know just got theirs in the last week. Zorro wise, remove the top screen, cut the top case and put the screen from the Jumper T-lite or similar… At least 20 people have done this, there is even 3D prints. I personally didn’t like the Zorro enough to bother, and got rid of it too. Jumper T-Lite with the RadioMaster AG01 minis is my jam recently… until I finish my own radio design. Happy flying!

@Shauny_D 10 месяцев назад

@@NickBurnsFPV yah exactly take advantage of the space between the hand grips for battery. Removable sticks in ag01 would be nice too for travelabillity. No curmudgeon switches are better for sure.

I don't know if this shape fits into the "game pad" category, but the traditional game pad style radios all use round cells, likely due to this shape.

Nick, as someone who respects your opinion and reviews, man oh man... come on! Yes, yes "entry level price point" etc. I swear RM is simply out of ideas and desire to innovate. Do people just "squeeze this radio somewhere between a Jumper-T and a TX12 or the "Boxer"? Is the appeal simply having "skins" as options with in fact very little to no breakthroughs in terms of steps forward? This whole radio model pushing is like a brand of potato chips where all you get is one just a big bigger and it iterates over and over but still just chips!
