Also, I just wanted to say that I appreciate you watching 🙏
I appreciate you posting
combined usb for charging and other stuff is worse than having them separate - I need to charge the controller on long range rc plane flights (mid flight) while also forwarding telemetry via usb..
Love your content, keep up the good work
Great criteria thoughts Brodie! I love my RadioMaster Pocket! Definitely felt like an upgrade from my ELRS modded Jumper T-Lite. So portable and lightweight! The Boxer with AGO1 gimbals looks like the next upgrade when I get into Long Range quads.
Good video, but Jumper T20 IMHO should have been mentioned :)
Thanks for this Tutorial brother
Congrats. Very nice video. Liked. Have a happy time.
I've bought a TX12 after a lot of research in late 2022. There was no RM Pocket or Boxer. I agree that the Pocket would be the best for beginners and now I have a Boxer and love it. Great video!
I bought the Radiomaster Zorro, did the AG01 mini gimbal upgrade ( you can have even smoother Mids, and a smoother throttle ) and after a 18650 cell upgrade and a lot of remolding internal plastic, the controller is now perfect
Great video!
radiomaster boxer is the absolute GOAT. High quality hall gimbals, an extremely powerful 1W elrs broadcasting unit, just enough screen, and fair price tag.
the internals are all jst connectors and really well labeled, if it needs repairs or upgrades in the future it is really easy to work on.
the pocket is the budget best / perfect starter.
I was going to purchase a rm pocket today. You came with the right topic at the perfect time thank you very< much (I will get the pocket, train in sim then buy the mobula6 and the betafpv vr03 goggles and start flying indoors because of regulations.) realy like your uploads keep it up.
Imo you should get better quality goggles than the vr03
@@alexwolfe957 I don't know what else that is available (there are two different antenna options for the ev800d and i don't understand it so I chose the simpler option
@@alexwolfe957 I just looked at the skyzone cobra lite is it better?
I'm just starting with drones and
really enjoyed this video.
You made me see why i probably need 2 controllers in the future.
1 Big with all the bells and whistles, 1 small that you can easy drop in a backpack.
One thing i'm wondering
Why did you leave firmware like edgetx and elrs module support out of the question?
It was a long way to find out this is everything my radio needs.
Love this list, but for some radios (especially DJI) I feel it would be super useful to introduce another rule: Customizability/Good OS; I can not overstate just how big of a difference it is going from a radio with no OS (BFPV/DJI controllers) to a radio like the Pocket, Boxer, or TX16S with a full fledged OS.
Is the speedy bee master 5 V2 Worth my money, and radiomaster boxer
Try the Jumper T15, I guarantee you'll fall in love with it.
Love my Boxer. No AG01.
I upgraded my Boxer to a Boxer Max in part due to this review. The AG01 gimbals are really nice and the rest of the bling really dress it up too. Not required obviously, but it's a pretty nice upgrade.
I have been using a Frsky X18S on all my quads for the last two years and it has been amazing. It ticks all the boxes you mentioned but instead of using EdgeTX it uses Ethos as an operating system wich is so much more intuitive and easy to use.
I think some of the newer radio's from Frsky are a great choice for FPV and are often overlooked in this category. The X18 and the X14 for example are reasonably priced, have great ergonomics and the build quality is better then any Radiomaster product in my opinion.
Is ethos open source? Or closed any idea on how the features and lua functionality compares
@@ironoidfpv It's close source and lua scrip is availble depend. If you're a engineer and there is a lua scrip you want to develop because there no lua script availble you can. For example there is lua scrip for Expresslrs. :)
One of the best purchases I ever made was the RadioMaster Pocket. Ever since I got it, I have hardly ever used my much more expensive RadioMaster TX16S anymore. And even when I do, the TX16S feels heavy and clumsy now. Also I twice broken the gimbals on the TX16S and each time the expense to get a new gymbal was more that what I paid for the brand new RM Pocket.
It's the same for me! Can't recommend it enough. The only slight disadvantage was using the button for arming, since disarming took longer initially, but by inverting the button you can disarm just as fast as with a switch.
Hello my friend, I want to ask you a question? Where can I buy FPV drone supplies at a cheap price and can they deliver to the Middle East please?
still use and love my TBS Tango 2 pro v3😅
wish this video would've been out literally 3 days ago before i ordered my equipment
I've used the FrSky Taranis X9D+ since 2017. I have a RM boxer as a backup but im just to used to the X9D and I feel like its not holding me back in any way
Possibly a dumb question - But, what makes these "FPV" Controllers versus any other Drone controllers?
The firmware is different, you can program the switches and buttons, better gimbals(in most cases)
@@cokitos-py3bdFutaba and TX16S ones are not designed only for FPV. Those are just regular RC aircraft controllers that works for FPV drones.
@@jeb123 Yea, and because of that you can build your own projects unlike regular drone controllers
Whats about tango2?
Missed the FRSKY TANDEM PRO2 . That would have a check ✔️ mark on all your boxes 📦.
Nice videos but not a single jumper transmitter since right know that have a lot of budget options
I'm getting a Boxer, thanks for the video
new Sub
For me, the Boxer doesn't have a real arm switch, the Jumper t20s is my prefered compact choise.
And the TX16S fits me best with good area for my hands and a real display
Hmmm, surely you mean rc or radio controller and not fpv controller. What were those controllers called before fpv came along?
Yep on the literadio - I had it break multiple times on me too. Absolute rubbish unfortunately.
Hi man I'm heading to NZ soon and trying to find out the laws around fpv. Have you got any tips and do you need any license's?
You can pretty much fly wherever you want as long as you're not close to public (buzzing heads). And under 120m. Nothing's very regulated over here.
Just buy the Boxer. Full size gimbals, upgradeable to AG-O1 gimbals. If you are new to FPV, just buy the the Radiomaster Boxer. You won't regret it.
I have all of those radios except the pocket and my daily is the boxer. I’ll be selling the futaba soon.
First up they are radios controllers are the stuff you play video games with these things transmit frequencies but you knew that already
how about the radiomaster zorro? any feedback?
good radio, same as pocket, same TX, same connections, many people like and use, a little more expensive than pocket
It is very good and comfortable, the only drawback is the low-capacity battery. This can be changed by converting Zorro to 18650 batteries, but it's a bit troublesome. Personally, I like this controller and I also have a Pocket, Boxer and previously a Tx16
Flysky FS-i6X?
what no tango 2?
I feel like the size should be considered a minus, the bigger the controller the heavier and less portable it is, and less likely you are to actually bring and use it day to day. Strange that there isn't anything ultra minimalistic and lightweight or foldable in some way, only focusing on having decent sized gimbals.
Hey can you do a fpv setup (ie drone + goggles) at a few price points video pls? I have seen one from another youtuber but its quite old and as I am trying to get into FPV it would be really useful :)
Sure! Sounds good ✌️
Tinyhawk 3 hdzero kit or tinyhawk 2 analog if u want something cheap
@@BrodieReed can you do it with multiple options per price class to chose from?
Zorro with metal gimbals!
Good comparison, and I understand including the Futaba to make the point of more $ doesn't mean better but you really missed the target not including the jumpers in the comparison.
Where is TBS tango 2pro?
Bruh, I had the same idea 😂😢
W video
Fpv “parts” comparison ✅✅📈
0:00 Answer for the first question: I buyed an RTX 3060.
b- b- b- b- but radio master zorro :(
These remote control manufacturers are so shameless. They use open source software to make closed source prices.
Futaba been around since the 1960 for software they never used opensource to make close source but how ever I think Ethos used opentx and edgetx codes.
you should have got spektrum radio the 12 has everything and is 1000.00 dollars but the best radio you could ever buy but it big heavy and has a ton of switches. A lot of wing and heli people buy this controller
It's not open source so it's junk. And Futaba have better quality for their radio vs spektrum. Again Spektrum junk. A Tx16s does much more then Spektrum high end junk. Better yet even Frsky x20 pro can do more then Spektrum.
@@rcrotorfreak Lmao you really dont know to much
@@Viseo3dpSerious? I been flying since the 1980s before you been born. I'm also a software developer. I programs features to edgetx since we are about to add coding. I'm a software developer. I'm also a it. Btw i use to fly Spektrum. Sit down kid. Edgetx firmware is open source and it's more advance then Spektrum. Firmware have no limit. You are the limit. Spektrum have limit you want more feature you have to upgrade. Kiddo sit down listen to Daddy Kane.
@@rcrotorfreak Kid, Buddy i am 60 years old so when you make shit up before you were born find the facts out first also i have been fly planes and helicopters since the 80's with gas engines and Specktrum was one of the first radio's around back then its was called park flying Horizon Hobby has been around sense 1985 and you have had nothing to do with edgetx development if you did you would not try to brag about it so nice try oh yeah im a aerospace engineer Lmao nice try be truthful you don't like specktrum because you cant afford it that's okay don't be ashamed minimum wage is not a bad thing its okay.
@@Viseo3dp no spektrum came out early 2000 infact when Futaba came out with fasst protocol the first 2.4ghz it was early 2000 before Spektrum. Look argue but when firmware is locked it's not appealing. All these new technology are putting Spektrum in the dust. Look at TD and twin. Also access. Ever looked at Frsky? Does spectrum have dual band Rx six channel for $40 bucks? Yes 2.4ghz plus 900 mhz. You haven't explore it. All these open source even Frsky that isn't open source is more advance then Spektrum. You paying a limited device. Cost them so little to make but charging you a Apple tag.
Long story short: Tbs Tango 2 and Radiomaster Tx16 are the best
Sorry to be that person, but unless you're flying DJI these things are called radio's or transmitters, not controllers
It depends from person to person, you can call it a controller
RC stands for remote controlled / Radio Controlled
The way a controller talks to the drone doesn’t matter it’s still an RC Drone
You call it Soda or pop? Trunk or Boot? You see where I’m going with this?
@@ReRunTyson I guess you’re the kind of person that uses a transmitter with his xbox. See where I’m going with this
You should be sorry for being that guy. Lol
