It's pretty dope | TBS Tango 2

[@archer4922]

I finally joined the 99% crew right when the tango 2 came out. Lol. Definitely getting the radio. Can’t wait till next paycheck.

[@MysteryD]

I know a dude with 10 hours of sim experience who this would be perfect for.

[@FreshPanda97]

11:00 same problem for me, i am switching from a CNC Gimbal RadiomasterTX16S to a Tango2, because i go 3 months backpacking in South East Asia with my FPV Stuff....i cant really get used to the feeling on my stomach/hand kombo....i would have loved to see, that somebody skiled would maybe do a Print or a Acessory for the tango two that i could clip onto the radio to make it bigger :D

[@swissfreek]

Had the same reaction with the position of the neck strap. I went from way up high using the radio as a “shelf” to really low and tilted forward like you. Ended up trying without the neck strap and liked that best.

[@BlacksheepMediaNZ]

Some great points that haven’t been covered yet

[@bl4ckr4bbit]

Was considering this over the tx16s with crossfire for the convenience and form factor. Ended up choosing the tx16s ultimately for multiprotocol support since I fly tiny whoops and for the lesser cost in the long run.

[@madebyandre_]

Dang, now the tango 2 supports multiprotocol. Now i think it really is the ultimate controller.

[@rwdesigner]

Dang, makes me want a tango 1

[@Fantazy]

Waiting on my Tango 2 pro, it's so painful to wait xD ! Nice video as always homie, you're da bomb !

[@Ezio470]

[@zachpierce9776]

Thanks for the insight man. Helps me a lot concerning I'm thinking about buy one and moving away from my full size Crossfire and Taranis XD9 plus remote.

[@Thund3r013]

Tango 2 looks dope. At first I was interested in it, but the more I see it and hear how people are using it, I'm considering it now.

[@e.t.dronehome6574]

Omg! You have like a million drones behind you😍😍😍🤪 Nice vid by the way👍🏻 Just purchased the Tango.

[@HappyFPV]

You described exactly why I want it, not having to assemble the big TX. Having a big radio for long range is just fine. I see a lot of reviewers do a who is this for, I think it’s for everybody, I think that everyone who used CF will have two radios from now on. For whoops I always take a NoRX FC and put in Crossfire anyway, just because “I can”. Also Trappy is talking to Bob Roogi about integrating CF in a whoop/toothpick FC. It would be nice if we could share the bindings between the big TX and the Tango 2, maybe Trappy can do this with the cloud?

[@shenanigan3083]

Its wierd before I hade to stand to fly but with the tango 2 I'm much more comfortable sitting.. just like you said great in the hand but the arms weren't right so I sat down and..... perfect i was getting tired of finding something to lean on

[@pkvillager]

I ordered the standard one. I really like my Nirvana but I don't need a giant screen I do nothing with and I only fly crossfire. It does irk me that I had to order the lousy neck strap mount separately. Margins must be razor thin for a silly move like that.

[@in2theair67]

I really like your demo of the new tango 👍You just made me want to buy this radio. 🙈

[@SystemSalvation]

Is this a good transmitter for long range?

[@Darksagan]

Tommy I just got my first 5' kwad...its the Ummagawd remix v2 with your motors. Cant wait to fly it.

[@kennykobi]

How many springs come with the gimbal replacement kit? I swore there was 4. I added the softer ones. Somewhere along the way I noticed 1 extra stiff one making it 5. Again there may have been 5 but I thought I counted 4. I put the radio back together. Everything works nothing seems loose or anything. Did I count correctly?

[@kamaleaFPV]

Hi, i couldn`t set Arm and flip over crash mode in GUI....the only one working is aux 3 which is the buzzer...need help plsss i did it in betaflight...

[@davidlee50]

Does it feel like the old 72MHZ gimbals on futaba's

[@ummagawdFPV]

I can’t say that I know what that feels like lol

[@ramonskepweng333]

Is this compatible with frsky receiver? Thank u

[@walkeytalkiefpv1379]

is it just me but setting up a taranis doesn't take that long. that being said I don't have any protection on my radio like a case or gimbal cover, I leave crossfire in the module bay and I leave my crossfire antenna on. so he has a few extra steps but I have found none of that is needed

[@jessjoshwyatt3571]

I would think leaving the module in would protect those pins a little better than leaving it open to anything being able to hit and smash them but I think he's only saying and doing all that to make it seem less gimmicky about how hard it is to press a power button and I also leave neck strap connected to transmitter.

[@goomyz]

Just seeing your video for the first time and I appreciate your thoughts. I got the non-pro edition and it DOES have the neck strap mount. It's my first true radio, and I'm very happy with it. For now I'm only using it for FPV FREERIDER Recharged on my Sammy Note 20 Ultra, but hope to get a cinewhoop or something in the near future.

[@oranellis]

Tango 2, the hands down best second controller you can buy. For me this is the perfect radio, I am a student and only have 2 5” racing quads that both run crossfire so my whole fleet is covered. My current radio is the x-lite with the internal crossfire mod so I would get the same rf performance for a huge bag space saving and time saving on setup. Having a lightweight and fast setup is a goal for me, this could allow you to arrive at your spot and be flying in 60s. I think with this I could get the whole drone bag with a field pack under 5kg too. Take it mountaineering! It’s just a shame I’m poor and can’t afford it 😥

[@mikeefpv]

great size, but what about whoooops?(

[@maksimreshetnikov1029]

Great video! Thanks! Can you, please, make video about air mode on a switch? Why do you need that? Fly and trick examples...

[@AarOnCoasters]

is there anything this small that has cross protocol platforms (like radiomaster). not sure if I want to get locked into crossfire.

[@dividingbyzerofpv6748]

Tango 2 isnt for me but something of small note from your crossfire mounting/unmounting. I have 2 or three times forgotten to install my damn crossfire antenna before powering up. Reason being is my stupid X9D had that stupid 2.4ghz antenna still there and I would forget about putting the 900mhz antenna on. So I wound up making a gimbal protector that locks into place with the lanyard on the balance bar so you cannot remove the protrctors without removing the lanyard. My gimbal protector is also my 3D whip 3db crossfire whip holder... so I have my antenna in my hand to put on before I can even take my gimbal protector off. I like the crossfire module with mavlink/bluetooth/500mw-2w too much to ever want to change of it. But it can be a headache to store and be compact.

[@ummagawdFPV]

I’ve done the same 🤫😂

[@dividingbyzerofpv6748]

@@ummagawdFPV this last weekend was my worst bonehead mistake... After flying with an external battery powering the crossfire I took the antenna off, turned the radio off, put in my bag. 5 hours later when I am at home unpacking I take my radio out to find crossfire still plugged in with the thing hot as hell due to no airflow. It was on 500mw for 5 hours with no antenna. Trappy says it should be fine but in the back of my head I will always remember that issue and whether it may lead to a failure. /facepalm

[@peterzingler6221]

It won't burn through without an antenna tho.

[@dee1251]

Sorry a noob question. if i use 1200MW hack on the dji radio. Will that mean that it will have a better range than my Tango 2 ? I watched some videos and i thought the main reason for Tango 2 is a better range? doesnt Tango 2 have max 500MW?

[@MrIndyjonescj]

Having trouble with setting my end points on the Tango 2 in betaflight. Even tried CLI commands. The throttle end points especially are not changing to 1000 and 2000. Any ideas?

[@michaelhulas9801]

excellent video, thanks much. Any chance you could make a video on updating the firmware using the 2 back momentary switches you mentioned? J.B. put out a video, but if you read the comments, a very large portion of the people said they ended up messing up their radio after following the steps in the video. Im still quite new to FPV and your videos helped me out a lot, your help on showing how you updated the F.W. would be a greatly appreciated. Thanks.

[@kschlagel]

Do you have a build list for a freestyle drone for under $250 to $300

[@ummagawdFPV]

That budget is a bit tight depending on the components you want. My build list is basically what I carry on my store. Check it out

[@kschlagel]

ummagawd ok thanks

[@RichMoore-tweakin7376]

Wish it had FRsky protocol as well. I love it but......

[@FrancescoSignorini11]

this or jumper t16?

[@SirCrashaLot]

Just to add: gimbals are so smooth! Fit is indeed perfect, it stinks there is no bay to add multi module or full size crossfire, with that it could easily become one radio to rule them all.

[@PropDusting]

Why is it so dark?

[@jasonhull5712]

I started out on the micro crossfire, then spent the additional 200 bucks on the big brother crossfire for the added features it offers, I just don't understand why TBS wouldn't make the tango 2 compatible with there own crossfire module? I'm not getting the Tango 2 just because of that. And the hand rest / arm positioning you mentioned. Sucks because I was really looking forward to it with all the hype that's been going on for years now... 🤦‍♂️ Good thing I bought two Taranis x9d's ! 🤘😜

[@1MIC2GO]

Looks great. Just wondering, Is there any concern that the Gimbals can fold down during flight? Seems to be my only concern

[@WarraGp]

Mike Nichols Hi Mike. For the gimbals to actually fold down you need to pull them up. Thers absolutely no chance that they will fold down during flight. So you dont need to be concern anymore ;)

[@1MIC2GO]

@@WarraGp thanks mate!

[@stitfpv8806]

Getting one soon as they restock

[@swissfreek]

And yeah, agentX is a pain on the Mac. What u\su\ally works for me is: open AgentX, *then* plug in the radio and turn it on, then hit USB (Agent) in the pop up, then wait a little bit (like 10-15 seconds), and the tango should populate. For some reason scrolling to the bottom of the list and back up seems to help too? If all that doesn’t work, restart the computer and repeat, that should “fix” it. And by the way anything you plug into AgentX I find this to be the most reliable way to get it to connect.

Pretty sweet remote, got mine a couple weeks ago just waiting on a couple more parts for a first go. Quicks question if anyone is reading this, can you fly with the dji goggles with crossfire receiver and would this be a decent range setup if so?

Yes and yes

Thanks man, win win for me :)

[@pksteffen]

Wish it allowed a module. Would actually spring for a module with this radio to run D8 for micros and whoops but never would for X-Lite Pro.

[@hansturpyn5455]

Dji radio does it for me. Latency 2.5ms

[@FRY_FPV]

wait, what's the reason you got airmode on a switch still? I haven't followed why you still do that. what's the advantage of it?

[@PinchTune]

Landing cleanly is a lot easier with airmode off. If you are going to perch on top of a flagpole, more than likely the airmode bounce will knock you right off.

[@FRY_FPV]

@@PinchTune oh now I remember! I see! I never really had an issue with bouncing landings so I never understood what it was about. Just disarm when it's still 5 meters high up... I'm joking haha 🙈 Actually Danny, you might know that better than Tommy: does Flightone has airmode on all the time as well? I've never seen an option for disabling it

[@FRY_FPV]

[@PinchTune]

​@@FRY_FPV That's a good question. I'm not sure because I always fly with airmode on. Granted I went to perch on the edge of a building and bounced right off the other day. Haha. One thing though, on FL1, "airmode" isn't active until you throttle up the first time. So essentially you know how Steele can hold his quad in hand and move it around and it doesn't react? We'll like that, when you initially arm it. But once you throttle up it "turns on" airmode. I'll have to check in the group to see if idle up can be done or it it can be put on a switch.

Commitment isues? Just buy that one extra CF receiver for that on whoop you plan to (but hardly ever fly) it’s really not a big problem... and why should they support an other brand.... (the other brands don’t support CF) i assume, that you do know that the other protocols are an other company’s intellectual property.... the multi protocol modules are stealing from an other company....
