Is 250 mW ELRS enough for you, or do you need more? The Zorro's ELRS radio has maximum 250 mW output power. Jumper has announced they are going to release a version of the T-Pro with 1 watt ERLS inside! My opinion is 250 mW is more than enough for most people, but obviously more is better especially if you're using EP2 receviers with ceramic antennas.

Bind and flys are a big consideration too. A JP4in1 internal with ELRS external, or visa-versa will provide a wider range of options for a beginner.
@grim-upnorth2 жыл бұрын
I agree with this. There are a greater number of different external ELRS modules currently available, and there will be more to come. Locking yourself in to an internal ELRS module doesn't make sense, especially considering you can't put a different antenna on it. An external module gives you much more freedom and configurability. Yes, I understand that 250mw is all you might need, but what if you "want" something more powerful in the future? You'll end up buying an external ELRS module anyway. So if giving yourself the widest range of options is important to you, then yes the 4-in-1 version is the most sensible option. That way you can put anything you want on the back of the radio. If however you already have a bunch of aircraft, with a specific flavour of control receiver installed, then pick whatever version has the internal module that works with those receivers. If none of the internal module options works with your current gear (in my case Crossfire) then the best solution is to buy the cheapest CC2500 version, and get a crossfire (or whatever control link you have, tracer/ghost etc) module for the back.

If you want more battery life, then go 18500 batteries 2000mah and modify the Zorro to fit them. Or 18650 but then you might have to modify the gimbles slighty to fit them. Or external battery pack if you want even more. 4in1 gives you capability to fly all kinds of models in the future if you ever buy them.

Reasonable review. I do however feel the section covering Zorro's protocol options was poorly done. (from 15:25) An important differentiator between protocols and Rx's is the ability to provide telemetry. This can be very useful for keeping a running GPS flight log, should your quad go down and need rescuing. (as well as providing a recording of other data) The crossfire option was compared as if it was just another 2.4 GHz spectrum option. It's a 900 MHz option. Also ELRS internal module is a 2.4 GHz option with 250mW power. External modules offer up to 1 W, and there are also 900 MHz options for ELRS. The comparisons made between Crossfire and ELRS amounted to Rx pricing. Not really focused on the Radiomaster product itself. Bother ELRS and Crossfire offer telemetry. There could be good justification in having both. ELRS on 2.4 GHz and Crossfire on 900 MHz. Much really depends on if a potential Radiomaster Zorro customer is new to the hobby, or has existing equipment. This would make for a good follow-on video, or livestream discussion. Example: Expect even a 900 MHz R9M-lite external module could be used. (which could be refreshed with ELRS). So many possibilities and options. A truly open protocol and open software offering. :) I do agree with you, JB (@ 20:00) that new pilots should consider ELRS (2.4 GHz) as their first protocol and Tx/Rx setup. More that many suppliers of BNF quads are now offering ELRS options. This wasn't the case 12-18 months ago. As a beginner having telemetry to radio to verify quad operation on plugging in the battery can be very useful. Less complicated the checking OSD in goggles. (battery voltage, etc). For those needing 4-in-1 support in future, there are reasonable priced modules readily available. Decision what option to purchase becomes when vs either/or.
@JoshuaBardwell2 жыл бұрын
It's always a challenge to put in enough information to be useful, but not too much that isn't directly relevant to the video. I have a whole 20+ minute video about choosing between control protocols, so the topic could have gone on forever and then most people wouldn't watch it. All of the available modules support telemetry. So it's not a differentiator between these radios and doesn't need to be mentioned when making a buying decision. Likewise 900 vs 2.4: both give far more range than 99% of pilots will ever need, so for a beginner just starting out its not the primary differentiator.

I'm new to drones. I've been using HPI cars back in the days, but I want to get into Cinematic FPV drones. However, I need to get started somewhere and found out that I do need to learn how to fly first. And therefore I've been looking at controllers. Everything drone related seems to be really expensive, so I need to do some climbing. However, a good controller is needed in any case and I first looked at the FrSky ones. After seeing your video about FrSky taking an Apple turn, I figured I didn't want any of that. So, here I am, looking at the RadioMaster Zorro Radio ELRS Starter Set 16ch instead. And it looks very good. I have no issues with messing around with firmware and such, so that's no hinder for me at least. And since the RM Zorro supports use for simulators, that's probably the one I'm going for. I can't be crashing all the new drones, so the simulator is a really good alternative. So, thank you very much for this video that made me make up my mind. Still can't afford the thing, but hopefully, one day, I will, and I can open the door to go and explore the birds view of the world.

With the 4 in 1 your controller works with a wide range of ground vehicles, planes, helis, boats, and other hobby vehicles. If you even think you might get into anything other than FPV quads, I wouldn't stick yourself with a cc2500 only to regret it later.

I watched Bruce's video and then came over here for the affiliate link... But the shipping is so slow OR expensive. There are other options, that I know you have talked about before (most innovative, if not risky neckstrap). That are fast and cheap. Obviously the real problem is me waiting to the last minute to purchase and needing it NOW! ;). But it would be nice if you had that affiliate link too.

Im flying the Zorro exclusively now. My biggest gripes are short battery life and the fact that they have separate usb ports for charging and pc sims. Because with the Tango 2 its the same port and this was great because at night if I wanted to fly a sim for a few hours, it would also be charging the radio so I would be ready to go the next day. Now I have to make sure I either charge EVERY night or have a spare 2s battery on me. Really bad choice there. Otherwise its great, especially with the new AG01 all metal gimbals.

Yo I'm new to fpv. Havnt even flown yet, still waiting on parts in the mail. So flight time seems to be really short with these thing, is it possible to wire multiple batteries to your drone to increase flight time? I know this will make it substantially heavier and change how it flies... but like I said I'm new, I won't be doing anything crazy.. I just want to learn to fly in more than just 15minute intervals lol Maybe you suggest I don't do this tho becuase i will be getting accustomed to flying wrong and how am I supposed to really use the range this thing supposedly has, if my battery dies before I ever get there?

Got a Jumper T16 Pro (with the integrated 4-in-1). Love it. It has developed the ribbon cable plague. I was able to repair everything but the right finger slider, whose connector broke internally. I don't use the finger sliders though. Been considering a small gamepad style radio for throwing in the bag alongside a little sub250g quad. Debating between whether I want to get the Zorro in 4-in-1 built in, and upgrade with modules (Crossfire or ELRS), or get the Zorro in ELRS, then buy a 4-in-1 module (TBS MPM?). Or go all in on ELRS going forwards with the Zorro and just use the Jumper for 4-in-1 needs. Not entirely sure yet. The 4-in-1 would be least expensive now, as I don't have to buy either receivers or a module, and give me options for upgrading. ELRS would be more convenient if/when I eventually migrate to full ELRS, no module required. I do have a bunch of old little cheap toy drones and a Walkera that were a big factor in me choosing the Jumper and its 4-in-1 originally, so maintaining 4-in-1 support, whether by module or integrated, is still desired. Even if I'm preparing to replace the Walkera because it still runs freaking Cleanflight and I've smashed it into the ground more times than I can count anymore.

I wonder if the new AG01 version of the 16sMax has EdgeTx by default as well? It would be a great selling feature if the touch screen works out of the box with no fiddling around for newbies.

Hey Josh, when can we expect a review of the iflight commando 8? I like that it's got a 4 in 1 and ELRS internal receiver built in but if the Zorro is a better controller I'll happily get that instead.

Fascistic! I was leaning towards the Radiomaster until I watched this. Always love your style, pacing, professional delivery, humor and information. You're a gifted communicator. I can't believe you only have 250k subs, especially considering that you're the undisputed top source for quad content. I guess your audience is just too small. You really could step up to some mainstream topic where you can get into that Gold plaque+ category.

I started with frsky and it is a pain. I got all of their Rx bound without having to flash once, but then you never know if you get more failsafes as you could get when they were on the same version. I never bothered tryna flashing a frsky Rx .Flashing elrs over WiFi is pretty easy, though
