@flat-earther 8 месяцев назад

did you know that RM Pocket manual says _When operating your RadioMaster transmitter, please be sure to maintain a separation distance of at least 20 cm between your body (excluding fingers, hands, wrists, ankles and feet) and the antenna to meet RF exposure safety requirements as determined by FCC regulations._

I have the boxer , but I've spent 3 years on the dji v1 trans . The gimbals are slightly closer together on that . Is there a measurement between stick ends on the jumper t20s . Cause I'm considering that and moving the boxer

My daily is the boxer and I prefer full size gimbals but bought a pocket for a backup and a mini kit, and was surprised how good the gimbals feel. Now I need to figure out how to mod my boxer with a folding antenna like the pocket.

@hellfire411 7 месяцев назад

Would you recommend the Jumper T20 over The Boxer if availability wasnt an issue? My use case is going to be starting with a computer sim and after I feel I have learned enough from that to move on to a 5" Quad to translate from the sim experience. Or if you dont think thats a good idea what would you recommend?

@DarrenAllatt 7 месяцев назад

Both are great radios - I have both and really it’s just a matter of preference. If you want to be like everyone else, for the boxer.

If you want the best, you need to build. You are just considering what the videographer RU-vidrs are recommending because they got paid for those videos. For me, the best Bind & Fly’s are Foxeer. Their electronics are used by all the top racers, and underrated.

what will be the best option for cheap controller for all best simulators out there? thanks

@DarrenAllatt 7 месяцев назад

All Controllers work with all simulators - Now “best” and “cheap” are mutually exclusive- if you are buying a controller, get something decent, the cheap ones are shit, and you’d just end up buying a decent one down the line and the shit one will be a waste of money.

Is the boxer a good radio for rc planes? I'm actually looking into getting a new radio and the new jumper t14 v2 caught my eye I want a radio for both fpv and planes I'm flying with elrs on my quads and spektrum on my planes so I'm either wanting a 4in1 radio with a elrs module is the cheapest route however I don't think that jumper offers a internal 4in1 but rather has the external 4in1 module

@Defiance-id8vm 3 месяца назад

I have been looking into buying my first rc plane and I think I’ll get the FMS ranger 1220mm. What controller would go with this plane well and also perhaps future proof for future planes if that is something that needs to be done. The controller should be forever right or at least a long time so if extra money needs to be spent that’s ok. I’m also not sure what receiver to get Also one final thing can I put traxxas battery connectors on the plane? I don’t see y not and the batteries seem to give the same power

@DarrenAllatt 3 месяца назад

Sorry I don’t do RC planes so I have no idea

@Invid72 Месяц назад

Planes tend to need more switches for their various functions so a TX16S Mk 2 might be the best choice for you. It'll handle quads well too due to EdgeTX and has enough switches and sliders for all your plane functions (landing gear, flaps, nav lights, flight modes, etc.). The only real downside is it's a little more expensive than the other choices in the video and it's larger and heavier than all of them too. On the other hand, it has a nice big colour LCD which can be useful for telemetry when flying line of sight instead of FPV.

@DarrenAllatt 3 месяца назад

Firstly, your Controller and your Goggles are completely seperate and unrelated in any way shape or form. - If you want a Digital FPV System that has a clean HDMI out for Live-streaming, DJI is not a solution, they dont do that. Walksnail Goggles X will give you the closed DJI experience with HDMI Out - Controller wise, probably Boxer Max from the FPV ones. But if money is no object, get a Futaba, but they are really useless for FPV as they're designed for RC Planes and Heli's not FPV Quads and out systems like Crossfire and ExpressLRS.

@QulStream 3 месяца назад

@@DarrenAllatt So google is video transmission to send image , controller is radio transmission, to send command, These two are completly different , no string attached ? I can use any video transmission, for any radio transmission system ? Then why dji is not solution ? Is it because dji google dont have hdmi out ? Because i think i love dji o3 image quality, is it possible to use dji o3 and use walksnail google x ? I have not seen walksnail footage , do you think its better or atleast the same quality and latecy compared to dji o3 ?

@Invid72 Месяц назад

@@QulStream DJI has the best video quality currently but Walksnail isn't too far behind and has some advantages like more choices of video transmitters for various sizes of quad. This really makes a difference if you're flying smaller quads. If you plan to fly 3.5" and above it doesn't really matter and DJI will do fine there. Also, it's much easier to find DJI bind and fly (prebuilt) quads for sale if you decide not to build your own or want more BNF choices in the future. If a drone comes in a digital format at all, they're pretty much guaranteed to have a DJI version.

@@Invid72 i still confuse about controller and googles, if i wanna live stream and have hdmi out, what is the best system money can buy today ? What is the most worth setup?

@Invid72 Месяц назад

@@QulStream As Darren said, the controller has nothing to do with video. They are two separate systems. If you want HDMI out, Walksnail Goggles are your best bet as they have HDMI out according to the product page. You should watch a review of them and make your decision.

Boxer as it has higher output power for ELRS…

@DarrenAllatt 7 месяцев назад

also if you are new to FPV, why are you buying a 6" Quad, go and get a 5" - you have zero experience on flying so a 6" is going to fly a lot worse than a 5"

@StoicismAndPhilosophy 7 месяцев назад

@@DarrenAllatt thx for the response, yes I have no experience with real drones. But a lot in the simulator and I didn't knew flying with bigger proppelors was more difficult. So would you recommend the nazgul evoque 5' much more, don't you think that I can fly the 6' with simulator experience. Cause when I buy the 5' and then the 6' I'm spending a lot more money than directly buying the 6'..

@DarrenAllatt 7 месяцев назад

It’s not about whether or not, you can fly a 6“ - it’s that they fly very differently to a 5” - think of it like driving, when you’re flying a 5 inch it is more like driving a car while 6 inch is more like a small bus 1 inch may not seem like a lot but it has a very big impact on how it flies. The other element is it’s very hard to get a good flying and locked in 6 inch quad unlike a 5 inch which we have nailed that so much If you want to go with a Nazgûl fine I think the gap Mark five is a better by than the Nazgul

Tx16s has more switches, which you might need for a plane. Outside of needing more switches, you can fly a plane with the same thing you fly a quad with. Personally I fly my planes using a FrSky x-lite.

You need to watch out with your mixing. The visual example that you've put in have audio yet you have not mixed them or muted them, they are sometimes above your voice. The usual goal is voice = -3-6 db (I amplify it then put a limiter), background stuff = -15-30 db depending on your needs.

FYI My T-lite v2 shuts down when the battery hits around 50% while using CRSF module. I wouldn't recommend it. Probably smarter to get a Tango2.

@DarrenAllatt 8 месяцев назад

Yes, because it’s a 1S battery that puts out 4.1v at full charge, at 50% it’s putting out 3.7v which is below the min voltage a crossfire module needs to run. If you had a game pad controller with 2S, like all of the others - you wouldn’t have that issue.

No argument here. I wouldn't trade my daily driver for another form factor coz it fits my needs. Someone else might think it's trash. But they can buy what they want. Good to see there's real choice.

@TakeItToTheGround 7 месяцев назад

Enjoy listening but disagree 100% on some parts. Much better to get a radio with 4 in 1 internal and ELRS external module. The 4 in 1 protocol hardware is basically static. ELRS is constantly moving and sooner or later, probably sooner, the internal ELRS is just going to be legacy hardware. Much cheaper to then buy the latest and greatest ELRS JR bay module than a whole new radio. BTW: Those "toy" protocols as you call them in the 4 in 1 include frsky, futaba, Spektrum....

@DarrenAllatt 7 месяцев назад

So buy a radio with an internal module that FPV pilots will never use, and then have to buy an external module + replace it down the line if the hardware changes.

@DarrenAllatt 7 месяцев назад

And no, those are not the toy ones I’m referring to in a 4in1; which has up to 100 protocols.
