Next Level Reliability & Flexibility // RadioMaster GX12 Gemini-X // Dual Band 2.4Ghz & 900Mhz

[@notice_fpv]

A single USB port! Nice move, radio Master.

[@neuromancer692]

Took them long enough.

[@notice_fpv]

@neuromancer692 you're not wrong.

[@kurtzFPV]

I kind of prefer having the charging one on bottom and the data/simulator connector on top myself.

[@notice_fpv]

@@kurtzFPV but now (unless I miss my guess), You can charge and sim at the same time, through a single cableñ

[@kurtzFPV]

@@notice_fpv probably so with an adapter

[@FPVisnotacrime]

After you mentioned square and tapered shapes, I went to check it on my Pocket. I now have a way bigger understanding, why the Pocket is my absolut favorite.

[@Dorff_Meister]

I've been expecting a new Radiomaster radio to come out soon. Looks like a solid option. Yay for one USB port!

[@hughjanus5518]

Getting back into FPV after becoming homeless in 2019 and losing everything. Was eyeing the zorro but this just took its spot.

[@OnelastgoTV]

random info

[@EagleFPV43]

Wow this looks great, has everything i want in a radio: lots of flexibillity with the switches, compact design, white on black screen, 2s 18650 instead of 2 18350 batteries, cnc gimbals, and it now only has 1 usb c port. Definitely considering an upgrade from my zorro

[@chunior78]

very interested on seing the stick cam added to the videos

[@AleXianFPV]

looks like a T20S competitor. we are in a fast-moving hobby. 😂

[@AttentionDeficitHobbyDisorder]

Of course Radiomaster has to release this after I already bought a T20 V2 and a set of AG01 gimbals, and modified it all to fit together lol

[@xer125]

At least you didn’t go as far as the guy who stuck a ranger inside their t20 😂

[@dondupuis4007]

Yes, a stick video would be good.

[@MrBoudrick]

Same 😢

[@metaldirtnskin]

Been waiting a while for Radiomaster to put out something like this. I even put off buying a Boxer because I was hoping for it. I think a stick cam might be interesting to see where/how someone else's hands fit on the radio, so I can compare it to mine and see if there are any dealbreakers that might prevent me from switching.

[@FATSNAIL-FPV]

Ah, finaly... the BoZorror. Shout out to everyone grabbing their screen at the camera jiggle and high fiving Nick!

[@MCsCreations]

Fantastic review, Nick! Thanks!!! 😃 But I believe that "someone" tested it to 100km, but on a one way trip. I just don't remember if it was on 900mhz or 2.4ghz. Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@SkyMaxfpv]

It was done with the 2.4 GHz 2W Ranger module. Now, with 900 MHz and lower frequencies, you could go even further. It would be very interesting to test and compare the gemini system, but nobody is testing or attempting this kind of crazy and risky thing. Wesley Varty was the king of it.

[@MCsCreations]

@SkyMaxfpv Agreed. But, unfortunately governments don't like it. 😕

[@Tek_v2]

I loved my Zorro but batt life killed me. This may be the one! lol. 90% sure.

[@amin0_acid310]

Finally!!!! One usb c port to do it all. I want one just for that alone. The gimbals look good, thanks for the comparison. Maybe donate my Zorro and upgrade to this next year.

[@wisdomclub888]

Love the review, Nick!

[@Mupshot]

Shwing!!! the lack of additional switches is what has kept me from pulling the trigger on the Boxer. I have a few INAV quads and Im falling short on the switches I want available.

[@initialachannel]

returning to classic design with the latest technology

[@PropsOff]

Great review Nick...👍🏻🍻👊🏻

[@scu-dub]

I feel like jumper and radiomaster are playing tit for tat at this point lol however i have learned my lesson to NEVER get a radio as soon as it launches because there will be several versions of it soon 😂 colors/ gimbals ect ect nice review nick👍🏻

[@NickBurnsFPV]

For sure. I suspect is nearly a business mantra to "keep an eye on the competition".

[@toomanyhobbies8119]

I wonder if the Boxer accessory metal stand will fit this

[@NickBurnsFPV]

I would think so but can't verify as I don't have the stand.

[@Aldrizzle]

Great review thanks Nick! Been thinking about getting a new radio, currently flying the pocket and I do like it a lot and have been considering the zorro too since I love gamepad style for the same reason you mentioned actually I don’t like flying squared up with the arms

[@chrisalexthomas]

I feel the same way about the gamepad style of the zorro. I've got the zorro too and I also have the same feel holding it in my hands. I think the 18650 batteries and gemini are a reason why I would change. I could put 2x5000mAh batteries in there and that would be useful to quickly replace with another set of high capacity batteries. That's really nice. I dislike where the zorro batteries are and I think they're awkward to change. So I also have the goggle battery to quickly fit in when I need it.

[@genjitsu7448]

There are already about half a dozen reviews for this radio that have popped up in my feed just this morning! Does look nice, seems to have a few features that are unique other than the Gemini being on board.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Yea, this sort of thing does occur when the manufacturer puts an embargo on reviews. The upside is there isn't a "rush" to publish and many opinions and information available at the same time.

[@EagleFPV43]

Nick has got to be the best reviewer tbh. Nice fairly in-depth review with good camera angles, and he even goes over all the features in a great video format

[@NickBurnsFPV]

@@EagleFPV43 your too kind. I appreciate the compliment.

[@lynsmith1096]

Good review Nick

[@andytaylor3321]

Love this protocol

[@stephenmatthews4258]

Thanks, still flying my original TX16S I got years ago to hook up with my first drone, MJX Bugs 3 which still flys LOL, hope you let us know in a couple of months how it is working for you.

[@juno0314-o9o]

Looks like frsky sim radio and T20 combined together 😂😂

[@TorontoFPV]

I love my pocket. Zorro did feel good but the rubber fell off the batteries crap and having a pack outside would be unacceptable to my ADD.

[@xer125]

The mounting holes at the bottom are for a new accessory that is a handle/brace/display stand

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Interesting, I do see that now that the webpage is up. Not seen something like that in use before. Maybe something those that fly fixed wing use?

[@xer125]

@ probably, if I flew standing up more often I’d probably give it a try

[@NorgeSquad]

Those screws for the bottom are prob for plane guys when they have the big platform for their controller. prob for future add on's

[@djchino]

May I suggest a video? I been flying the Pavo 20 and now the Pavo 20 pro for a while using the DJI controller, Im liking more and more the Hobbie so I was wondering what would be a good radio to upgrade to. I know there are plenty to pick from but a video explaining why would be nice.

[@FlyingBuzzard]

7 different videos from 7 different reviewers on my list I should know everything about this Tx in a few seconds....LOL

[@xedoken]

Hi Nick, Does the distance between the end of the radio to the gimbal doesnt bother you(distance between the left edge to center of gimbal and vice versa on the right side)? Compared to zorro which has that distance very small

[@cjlosangeles6045]

😮😮 look at this ❤

[@QBeeZee]

How does it compare in size and feel to the Jumper T20? It's my daily driver, but I don't like the tension, and I can't get it tighter.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

The feel is more weighty or firm. The size is similar but without measuring I can't be more specific in size.

[@Lifewithme-p5n]

When are you going to announce the giveaway winners

[@flighttrain71]

Be patient... Usually its 7-9 days after the giveaway

[@bryanfpv]

I need square remote. ❤ Radiomaster

[@Captain_Jack9]

Thanks for the review! Can anyone tell me, does it mean that the regular Elrs receiver HappyModel EP1 will not work with this remote?

[@NickBurnsFPV]

elrs works with elrs. This gemini-x is has an additional feature to use with gemini-x receivers.

[@zissgo]

No lbt Version ?

[@jhendyy]

Already bought one, take my money 😭

[@Gracana]

Saaaame. Hate to do it after getting a TX16S so recently, but this addresses my gripes so well.

[@EMDRONES]

Bomb drop remote

[@kurtzFPV]

Does edgetx allow you to run internal ELRS 2.4ghz and external ELRS 900mhz module at the same time on older radios, or have plans to do so? I haven't been following the cutting edge for a few months now.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Yes, but so does opentx. We setup two different model files, one using the internal Tx and the other using the external Tx.

[@kurtzFPV]

@@NickBurnsFPV And you can run both models at the same time? (900 &2.4)

[@kurtzFPV]

Anyway. I guess if you want to do this, you would just buy a Gemini module though, wouldn't you?

[@NickBurnsFPV]

@@kurtzFPV No, that is why Gemini-x is so unique.

[@erlandfpv]

If pocket is 1000mW! I will eyes on pocket, but this... gx12. Its confirmed made for me...😅 im love with jumper t20, but too many probs with t20, so radiomaster is still my favourite...

[@pedritomini]

I still prefer the t20 to be honest, still smaller with full gymbals (can also be changed to ag01 if you cut one of the corners) and costs 80 euros instead of the almost 200 of this one. Feel like they really missed the mark with this one.

[@davidjacobs8558]

I want a bigger high res full color screen

[@ThePlacemat]

Are the gimbles full size? they look a little smaller to me like the zorro gimbles.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Yes, I believe they are full sized. I believe I mention this in the video but late in the video

[@ThePlacemat]

@NickBurnsFPV thank you sorry I must have missed you saying it

[@DukeEvolution]

Will it be your new daily over the zorro max you have been using?

[@NickBurnsFPV]

I do discuss this in the video. In short I am not committing to that at this time.

[@then00b62]

Can it still use those 4 in 1 multiprotocol external module? Like the iRangeX IRX4 Lite

[@NickBurnsFPV]

yes, any module as long as its a nano that fits the bay/mount

[@dodgydamosfpv9734]

I don't really like those tiny switches they break to easy I'm looking for a replacement for my rm tx 16s don't think i will just yet as there's nothing out there better 😅

[@trinol-kq3um]

I don't need it at all, I have a nomad and my TX 16, the best of them all. But I think I should try this surprise box.

[@airheadbit1984]

Does it have a GPS? I didn't see any external ports.

[@SkyMaxfpv]

gps on a radio? for what? usually we put gps on the drone or plane

[@SpacemanFPV1]

do you mean a serial connection To mission planner

[@GlobalSourcing]

If you swap your sticks do you lose the folding?

[@NickBurnsFPV]

by sticks do you mean the gimbals? If so yes, the sticks are part of the gimbals. There maybe a way to move the sticks to a new gimbal but I have not seen or read of anyone that has attempted that, so we do lose the folding sticks.

[@ConceptNull]

@@NickBurnsFPV I think he actually meant stick part not the gimbal part. On most gimbals you should be able to unscrew the stick and put a different one. So i guess the question is if you unscrew these sticks does the folding part goes with it or stays on the gimbal?

[@GlobalSourcing]

Thanks for the reply, I mean is the folding part of the stick ends or the gimbal? If you fully unscrew the stick ends and use custom ones like thumb grippies do you maintain the folding function?

[@sea_kerman]

@@GlobalSourcing you shoudl though if they're wide it may not fold fully also they're m3, not m4 like most stick ends.

[@Yemacondensada]

At this point, VTX is the only limit...

[@NickBurnsFPV]

True

[@jlarson42]

👍😎

[@_tcmore]

Next radio for sure I think!

[@warmfreeze]

i know MOST people say they never touch their screen and dont need a touch screen.. but since ELRS started making aircraft receivers i have started swapping a lot of my airplanes over.. and open TX menus already suck but its still WAY easier to configure stuff with a color touch screen.. basically i NEED the color touch screen that the T15 has.. i really like MOST of the features of this radio i just NEED it to have a touch screen for my use case..

[@scu-dub]

I have been on the fence for a radio for a couple years lol I was about to buy the jumper t20 then a few versions came out then a new t14 15 ect ect its crazy how these companies are just playing catch up with each other rather than making a solid radio with everything on it Instead they offer a little on this one a little on that one 😂 jumper 15 is so far the one I want since I fly planes and quads just wish they'd offer it in 4in1

[@FPVwineUK]

I only want to see stick cam if you're a thumber!

[@nikotttin]

Not senior enough to be named senior in my humble opinion 😂 They could have done a dual 2.4ghz instead of the dual band....

[@greedfox7842]

I really hate the way it looks. its soo ugly. >:/

[@anujchandkapoor]

I will never buy a Radiomaster in my life horrible service. They took my money and never delivered anything. Bloody cheats.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Any interaction with the company to resolve that you can add?
