The Matek R24-D and R24-S ELRS receivers are much larger than the Happymodel ELRS receivers, and they cost more as well. But is the performance worth the added size and cost? I put them to the test to find out.
Note: Banggood provided me with these Matek receivers for testing. Neither Banggood or Matek had any influence in the content of this video, and neither company was given any opportunity to see this video before publishing.

Lot's of detail here man! Very well planned, executed, and delivered in terms of meaningful testing. Keep up the good work 💪

@ATXAirborne Год назад

Thanks Wez! And thanks again for providing your insight on these receivers.

@Camilookb Год назад

Your the man, I love your long range reviews. Thank you.

@MichaelRogersJesusrules Год назад

@@Camilookb me too, especialy the last onexo!

Excellent info and great presentation! Nice job

Another great vídeo mate. Love the detail and depth of information. Keep up the good work.

@RebelGoatFPV Год назад

Another great review! Thanks for following up on the Matek comparison, you backed my gut feel with Matek with real data 😁

@woahtherr5371 Год назад

Great quality and information as always keep it up man

@payin1971xr7 Год назад

wow lots of clear and concise information....thank you Sr.

@Latchfpv Год назад

Excellent video as always, I love the in depth testing and amount of data. These do look pretty awesome, as someone ever paranoid about signal strength and quality, they'd certainly be worth considering.

@danielmccullock1249 Год назад

Great review! I have been using the EP2s in my Quad builds. Just got a matek one for my Nano Drak build. Good to know they perform a bit better. Cheers

@LiftIsMe Год назад

Love your test setup, love the quality of the video, and the data you show is great! I learned something today!

Thanks! Glad you liked it!

@willpowerfpv3246 Год назад

Hey man! Just found your channel a few weeks ago, and I have to say, I'm really impressed with your content. Great production quality, beautiful b-roll, solid pacing, and informative. I wish there were more fpv content creators doing what you're doing. Keep it up!

@ATXAirborne Год назад

Thanks! I’m glad you like the videos!

I like your methodology 🙂👏

@user-ll1et2gz2s Год назад

Very very great job.

@CalleyyyC Год назад

Iterating results, I always assumed at least better quality with matek and looks it’s the choice as well for longer range on larger builds. The size difference sure does matter on tighter/smaller builds. Great video!

@xORLOCKx Год назад

Ordered the diversity matek and I'm going to put it in my skylite 3.5. Excited to see how the range compares to the radiomaster ep currently installed.

@stephenmutch4034 Год назад

I understand the 'D' in the name of the R24-D stands for diversity. It has two antennae and diversity circuitry so install the antenna at right angles to each other for best reception.I have two of these receivers in quads and can confirm that they work very well in a medium density forest environment.

@TheBellman Год назад

The extra sensitivity isn't translating into higher LQ for the most part so I wonder how much it actually matters for performance. The SNR is remaining the same because it's just the same signal amplified.

@Kr-oy2bo Год назад

Range comparison? Would be great to see!

@SPotter1973 Год назад

Be sure to protect the ceramic antenna, I lost mine... IT STILL flew about 25yds out and maybe further without any antenna. But I soldered on an old 2.4 really was difficult to find the correct pads.

@adeyinkabrasil4426 Год назад

I crashed my 3inch and the RX stopped communicating with the TX....It's not a loose connection or solder point issue. The rx simply "gave way".... I'm going to try re-flashing both points with the latest ELRS firmware to see if that resolves the problem.....Any suggestions? Oh btw, it's a R9mm/R9m combo.

@CamDmitry Год назад

INCREDIBLY USEFUL VIDEO, JUST WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR. A COMPARISON IN AN URBAN ENVIRONMENT. ALL THE FACTS WITHOUT FURTHER ADO

I like to fly LR. I'd like to find a LR comparison :D

@rahadyanmuhammad271 4 месяца назад

I cannot update my Matek R24D firmware in ExpressLRS configurator "FC Found in COM 6 Connecting......" Then build error I also tried using expresslrs webflasher Cannot detect RX Target, blindly flashing I kept trying using Speedybee App Compilation failed Do you have any sugesstion? I really need your help Thanks

@christhorney Год назад

how you manage to get almost no glare from your glasses is impressive as someone who has spend hours trying to set up to get rid of the glare

@ATXAirborne Год назад

Haha. I use a 36” softbox up and to the right from the camera’s perspective. It’s all about the angles

@definingslawek4731 Год назад

These are too large for my taste, there exist now some small elrs rx's with LNA's, will they perform simmilarly?

@itsawildrk2360 Год назад

Idk man, I'm building my first plane soon and I'm having a hard time choosing between a matek wing fc and a nice big beefy elrs receiver with fat antennas, or something else like an elrs pwm receiver... both are big and defs have their place in the hobby, and so do the smaller receivers.

@itsawildrk2360 Год назад

I have built about 50 or 60 quads by now

@itsawildrk2360 Год назад

And soon something a bit bigger than a m600, very similar, just bigger

@hristiantodorov3923 Год назад

Hello, I thought the PA on the Matek was only for telemetry.

@ATXAirborne Год назад

There is a PA for the telemetry radio and a LNA for the receiver circuit. Both chips amplify the respective signals.

@suheyleerodz3964 Год назад

More space less noise on receiver!!!

Another great video. Please introduce yourself so you can enjoy the notoriety of others in your field. You’re too good at this to not say your name and put a name stripe graphic at the bottom when you do.

@IBHobbies Год назад

Haha too late .. I bought happy model ep2 😩

@ATXAirborne Год назад

That’s still my most-used receiver. Hard to beat the performance for its size, weight, and price.

@IBHobbies Год назад

@@ATXAirborne hahaha ya its a deal with that price and size

@MichaelRogersJesusrules Год назад

Hi, just found the channel,loved the work you have done ,imo as a nebie i have both ide say youspot on but if it fits easier for a few metres i would just use the smaller but most of my rx purchaces from now on will be matek until somthing better comes out ,not holding my breath but in 4~5 years elrs has done leaps n bounds i hope hd video gets cheaper for us all especially low income so its more enjoyable but yeah.can dream! thanx again

@primoziskra6394 Год назад

Wors test i ever see. Diferent antennas, diferent setups, diferent position of receiwer, diferent positions of antennas. You make a test of your setups sigal strenght. For recever test you have tu use same drone, same position of antenna, same antena, same position of receiver.

@ATXAirborne Год назад

Feel free to do a better test and make a video about it! I’m sure others would find it useful.
