Jumper T-Lite After 3 Months Daily Use 🤔

[@ektronaatrox2523]

I have this radio and it is doing well so far, it is super comfortable and excellent to learn at home, both in simulators and in home drones. For long range and outdoors I intend to use the Radiomaster tx16 once I learn well, since I am just entering this wonderful world of drones. Greetings from Chile, following all your videos.

[@AlbertKimTV]

Thanks for sharing

[@trevorimpulsebuyguy6398]

I absolutely love my T-lite! Like you it's my daily driver. I barely use my radiomaster anymore. It's a great design and price and I'm sure more radios like this will come out before too long.

[@uteboy86]

My toddler got my qx7 the other day and needless to say I need to now need to replace 3 switches haha. For the price I was thinking about just getting one of these like 50 bucks more once I buy the switches and shipping. So you rate them? I hate how big the qx7 is.

[@yannickg6904]

If I didn't have two of the original X-Lites, I'd get one, but you have draw the line somewhere, lol. A few friends are considering getting into FPV, I want to recommend this.

[@FLMan180]

I been running my jumper t lite with a lanyard too I drilled a hole and installed and old eyebolt from old fly sky remote

[@mrray52381]

I found a little mount on thingiverse.. printed it in tpu.. works great!!

[@MCsCreations]

That's definitely not a bad idea, dude... 😃

[@hapihap8888]

glad to see you still like your jumper, i love mine and even got the 900mhz happy model express lrs module rigged up to it, its a nasty looking job but it works, cant wait for open-tx update

[@petereuvideodrones]

After 2 months of use also no troubles here. I’m also thinking about doubling up, but the Jumper T8SG Plus V3 looks like a very appealing multi-protocol alternative 🤔

[@MCsCreations]

Fantastic, Albert! Thanks for the update! 😃 I hope they make a "premium version" of this radio... With space for 2 batteries and so on. Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@AlbertKimTV]

That would be cool!

[@dpkgray]

I love my T-lite, I did the power mod for the external connector. My crossfire only receives power when the T-lite is on AND when an external crossfire protocol is selected. Also I can run the crossfire up to 1watt if desired. This little radio is great value for money.

[@AlbertKimTV]

Thanks for sharing... when this one dies I will do the proper power mod like you.

[@ChrisParayno]

What do you mean power mod?

[@MrLanun8x]

Easy to bring anywhere..dont have any issues yet and still using it as daily.👍

[@AlbertKimTV]

I will

[@mrray52381]

I love my t-lite!! It is a great radio!! The fatshark dom3's I bought from you are still working great 👍 Thanks Albert!! You are the best fpv reviewer!!

[@Dr.HazeFPV]

glad if you review the ExpressLRS TX module that come out these days that come with a little pcb power supply module for power issue

[@zeroblade6599]

Seconded. Saw it on banggood but figured I'd wait a bit till I saw some reviews

[@grabejud]

my daily driver as well. love the ergonomics and i have no regrets getting rid of frsky qx7. hopefully you can do a review of the latest expresslrs nano module with this, which i am planning to pre-order. Oh and it comes with its own better power module than jumper's

[@ChrisParayno]

What type of range are you getting?

[@grabejud]

@@ChrisParayno with stock short antenna, probably 70 percent of taranis, so it's advisable to get the higher db antenna to have a comparable range with frsky. But then I'm going expresslrs soon.

[@grabejud]

@@reeser2776 you can use the ones with taranis 5db.

[@skylers1144]

Have been using the T-lite for 2 months, and it works fine. Coming from the qx7, you can feel it's quality as a lot cheaper. If it stops working, I will probably go for a xlite unless they release a more premium version at an attractive price.

[@stevemann6082]

I wonder if jumper will do a jumper T-lite 2 and cure all the problems you have found. amazed that of all the radios out there you have gone for the cheapest one. thanks for the update.

[@AlbertKimTV]

I just like the feel of this one the best.

[@anthonyechevarria5485]

Not my daily driver, Mostly just use for my whoops and sim. My trim buttons are getting stuck though, I don’t use them so I’m not worried about that. I fear that the power button might be the next button to stop working.

[@theofanisntokos]

for me work very good 2 months now, no problems!!!!

[@AlbertKimTV]

Great to hear!

[@pokerchannel6991]

Hi: is it sold out everywhere currently or has it been discontinued? Sometimes things that are discontinued only are marked as out of stock or back ordered. So, do you know if this is actually sold out and coming back or has it been discontinued. I know this sounds like a dumb question but things really happen as I described: ie some air planes that show sold out have long been discontinued. So, this is why I am asking. thx.

[@AlbertKimTV]

I don't know for sure 100% but I think it is or will be soon discontinued since none of the stores are planning to restock it. Also, there's a lot of new radios coming out so that could be the reason why.

[@pokerchannel6991]

@@AlbertKimTV o,k. I see. I belief that then the safest case is to just go for the radiomaster 16. since one can't really go wrong with that one. thx. as of right now

[@christianrambow9269]

I also think the T-Lite is great. It has completely replaced my QX7. Unfortunately, the range of the CC2500 module is very poor and I had several crashes due to fail saves. However, I was planning to use TBS Tracer anyway. This works with 100mW without power mod and the range is great. The quality for this price is really great.

[@AlbertKimTV]

Regarding the range, you do need to calibrate the tuning of the tx with the fine freq setting in the model and it will vary by receiver. You can then use the RSSI values to find the right values to give you the best range. I mentioned this problem with my XM+ receivers not binding and this was in one of the first videos I made.

[@HarryPhillips1453]

Are you using an SPI receiver with D16? I had failsafes at like 20-30m and apparently it's a bug in betaflight: www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?3244881-Dropouts-Lockups-In-D16-Mode-With-Telemetry-On-In-SPI-Receiver-Flight-Controllers

[@michaelhill7261]

@Albert Kim Did you ever do a antenna upgrade to the T-Lite? Or any other upgrades yet? Thank you in advance.

[@AlbertKimTV]

Just the power hack/bypass to get the crossfire nano TX to work. Also added the switch covers and silicone skin you saw in this video. I didn't change the antenna or anything else yet.

[@michaelhill7261]

Thank you.

[@aziadah1]

its been good to me for the most part. ive had to solder couple wires that broke off. definitely cheap but it does the job. im hoping when my tango pro gets here, itll replace my t-lite. the poor quality in feel, parts and overall experience is not enough for me to love it

[@5MilesHigh]

Hey Albert, I'm starting to really enjoy fpv, and am looking for a good fpv controller to get me started (current quad is more toy grade and came rtf). I prefer the gamepad style grips, and am looking for a radio that is cheap (i'm on a pretty tight budget), and will hopefully last me a while. I have watched a few of your videos on this radio, and am aware about the issues using external modules, and some coming faulty, and the other few, but do you think that this radio is the best choice (definately wanting to keep below 100 quid)? Thanks 👍

[@AlbertKimTV]

If you don't need all the other protocols other than the ones from the CC2500 chip, the RadioMaster T8 is pretty good. kzbin.info/www/bejne/r2HYh2mpfc96bK8

[@5MilesHigh]

@@AlbertKimTV Ok, thanks, that video really helped, I think I will go with the T-Lite especially as it has trim switches for planes. And sorry for all the questions, but you mentioned how you bought 3 T-Lites as you think they may die some time and stop working, is that because of you modding them and pushing it to it's limits, or because it is poorly made?

[@jackiecyng]

Hi Kim , thanks so much for making many videos about the t-lite. I have this as my daily driver too . I also have Crossfire module with this , can you advise if I can set it to 1w if I use external usb power source ? Is it safe ? I worry about burning up my t-lite . Thanks

[@AlbertKimTV]

I wouldn't do it unless you re-route the power like I did in the earlier videos. When I did my testing, I burned a component as I mentioned. I'm not sure if it will still survive even if you also power it off a USB power source. I wouldn't trust it.

[@jackiecyng]

@@AlbertKimTV Thanks Albert, what's the max safe mw would you suggest I can use with USB power/ high quality 18650 (20-25A) ?

[@battano]

I'm in the process of using a crossfire micro to nano retrofit kit to get ELRS 2.4ghz going on my X-Light.

[@AlbertKimTV]

interesting...

[@battano]

@@AlbertKimTV fyi makefire have the Happymodel 2.4g ExpressLRS ELRS TX module ES24TX-Slim for T-lite on pre order right now. I'm going to end up having to re-case my x-light at some point. I'd move to another radio but the form factor and customizations Ive done to it just makes it not comparable with anything else

[@dougmcpheters1546]

Now that's an interesting concept in purchasing 3 T-Lites. But, for you those are tools. So, I get it. Then, to top it off, there's the appreciation of the TX itself. I'm curious as to how many packs you burn in a month...Based on nearly a video a day x 3-4 (xbar3.5) packs per... 3.5x30=105/mo...Even if I'm off by 50% that's still a butt ton!!! 3 T-Lites=Justified :>)

[@ChrisParayno]

Yes! No issue with the T-lite so far.

[@AlbertKimTV]

Yeah, I'm sure there are lots of people who have perfectly good working T-Lite radios. I just think the 10% or so who have issues make comments claiming that their experience will be the same with everyone and that's simply a serious exaggeration. I'm not defending Jumper in any way here. Their QC is pretty poor but that is where the cost cutting went. Apparently when they look at the FPV community they have declared the side who want cheap AF FPV gear the "winners" and the quality junkies the "losers". Basically, the cheapskates make way more noise than the quality gurus. So they listen to what the market wants. Even with all the quality issues, this radio still outsells the Tango2 about 20 to 1 by the sales metrics I've been told by certain retailers. Also, based on sales figures, they know they can get away with this practice so they will continue to do so. People just need to understand this is how the world works and make the proper adjustments to deal with it. In other words, buy multiple back ups like I did. LOL.

[@ChrisParayno]

@@AlbertKimTV I totally agree with your statements! Being a newb to the hobby, I didn't want to invest alot to get started. I'm glad there are folks like you who make people aware of the short comings of cheaper gear and value your opinion. I started my journey watching some folks who sounded like great advocates for fpv but realized each video was/continues to literally an infomercial. Keep up the great work!

Have you had any throttle warnings after switching it on even when the throttle is in the right position?..... I find i have to recalibrate it just to stop it..... Any thoughts or suggestions on how to stop it all together?

When you do your calibration, don't go all the way to the bottom on the throttle stick. Leave just a little room there. That should solve the problem.

Hi Albert, Thanks for the update, following this with great interest. I now have the T-Lite, however I should have double checked before I purchased it, can you tell me if it will bind to FRSKY NON-EU RX's. I did try and bind to the Eachine US65 with a SPI (FRSKY D8 NON-EU) RX without success. Same with some D4R11's etc. Many thanks for your help in advance.

[@AlbertKimTV]

Sorry, I'm not sure and I have no way to test this as all I have are FCC receivers.

[@Vosper385]

@@AlbertKimTV Thanks for your time Albert, I'm sure someone out there may have an answer. Keep up the great work, Thanks.

[@HarryPhillips1453]

I'm not sure why you're having issues, it definitely can bind to D8 whoops. D8 doesn't have EU/FCC modes, just one mode. But it can do non-eu D16 as well. I have a T18 and bought a T-Lite to get my brother into FPV and both happily do D8.

@@HarryPhillips1453 Hi Harry, Many thanks for the reply. I'll try again with the Eachine US65, I have just heard that selecting 'no pulses' may have an effect so will try this. Thanks again.

[@DennisRiessbeck]

Do you also have some gimbal center drifting with temperature changes? My tango 2 was doing it, and my T12(same gimbals as the tlite) is doing it too. My +8 year old x9d doesn't do it even after all these years. Maybe newer gimbals use cheaper magnets, don't know what causes it. But everytime I'm out in the heat my gimbal center drifts around 1500 -+8.

[@AlbertKimTV]

No, I have not experienced that

[@HarryPhillips1453]

I have this issue every now and then, I think it's a quirk of hall sensor gimbals. An X9D that old might have potentiometer gimbals that don't have this issue? Just a guess

[@DennisRiessbeck]

@@HarryPhillips1453 my x9d has the m9 hall sensor gimbals. That is why I compare them, and they are spot on even after all these years. My tango 2 and my t12 are practically new, and they are haunted by this. I don't know why.

[@HarryPhillips1453]

@@DennisRiessbeck Poor guess from me then. That's very strange, I'm not surprised that the T12/Tango 2 have this problem, you'd expect a semiconductor device like a hall effect sensor to behave differently at different temperatures. To me the weird bit is that your X9D doesn't!

[@dhavesy5730]

Hi Mr. Kim,I'm thinking to get 1 of this and just want to ask if this can go a kilometer range with just a stock?

[@AlbertKimTV]

Range depends on many factors. Some protocols will do better than others. Also your flying environment will also play a role. You may be able to go that far or perhaps farther or not very far at all... there's no way for me to say with any level of certainty.
