[@Thiago_TS_BR]

Very useful, thankyou.

[@ulungprabowo]

Thank you for making this tutorial but I want to add that the timer is best to use mode: ON (started when activated and stop when deactivated) or Ths (started after throttle is raised and switch activated) but to simplify ON is better. Using Th% really not recommended and will ruin your time. At my early flight I am using Th% following your guide and I depend on my TX and not paying attention to OSD for when I should land and the battery dropped till below 3 V and VTX die. Th% could count double your true flight time. And honestly I dont understand why did you recommend to use Th%. ON is easiest for everyone.

[@budopunk5031]

Спасибо, дорогой! Обнимаю, как брата! Удачи тебе и здоровья! Thank you, darling! Hugs like a brother! Good luck and health!🤝

[@mundiua1228]

thank you 🙏 I looked for this video

[@ggochallenge]

Just a heads up, I just got my Pocket and the timer didn't automatically start after that initial configuration (before setting it to the arm trigger). It would only count down if the throttle stick was actually engaged (not at the bottom). I looked it up and TH% means the timer counts down in coordination with your throttle. So at fully throttle it counts down normally, at half throttle it counts down more slowly, at no throttle (stick at pulled all the way down) it doesn't count down at all. I'm assuming this is because the version of EdgeTX that shipped with my radio is a newer version.

[@dand.1941]

I have the same issue, does it work following the same steps or I need to do something else ?

[@ggochallenge]

@@dand.1941 yes, following the same steps all work. Just a few minor differences on what the radio does.

[@Sonic_Ox]

I guess I don't understand the need for a timer at all. Is it important? It's number one in this video. Please excuse my ignorance. I'm not trying to be a smart alec.

[@ggochallenge]

@@Sonic_Ox I think it's a useful reminder so you don't have to monitor the battery voltage constantly.

[@Sonic_Ox]

Thank you ggochalleng. That does seem helpful if you know about how long your typical flight time is. Say you have a quad that typically flies about 10 minutes with a certain battery, a certain flight style, under certain conditions like wind... you could set your timer for eight or nine minutes knowing you should be looking to land when your timer beeps. I guess I'm just accustomed to monitoring my voltage and never thought to set a timer. Thanks for the reply amigo.

thank you for your video, it has been very helpful for me as a beginner in FPV drone. I tried following the steps you provided, and it worked. I have another question. Do you have any advanced videos on connecting the drone to goggles?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

There rarely are videos regarding connecting FPV goggles to the video output of a drone because it is super simple. If your goggles are ANALOG, you simply scan for the band & channel. If your goggles are digital, you simply press the bind button on drone & goggles.

[@ramalho]

I'm fairly new to the drone world. I've been flying the Cetus Lite and the DeeRC D20 for about a year now, and I thought I was doing well. Until last week when I bought the Happymodel Moblite 7 and a new Radiomaster Pocket. I followed along in this video trying to setup the new drone. OMG, I'm finding this thing totally uncontrollable. The drone has a mind of it's own. Far too sensitive for my skill level. So my question is how do I tame this thing down? Does the radio have expo? Coming from the Futaba and Sprekrum world, the EdgeTX is totally new and foreign to me. I can't wrap my head around it quite yet. Any help would be most welcome. Rick

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Flying in full acro mode takes skill and it is exactly as you described. As your skills increase, life gets better. The drones you flew previously did not have true acro mode so your skills (hand/eye) are rather out of sync

How do you select NO switch for timer settings? I accidentally scrolled the wheel while on that setting and now there's no option to have no selection even though the manual says "[Switch] - Select the switch that will trigger the timer to start. If no switch is selected, the timer will trigger based only on the configured mode."

When you press the Model button, what is the difference between "Pocket" & "FPV drone". Also, do the Delta & Heli have any different settings pre-configured for something or could we just delete those?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Those are just MODELS. You can setup hundreds of MODELS. Let’s say you owned 5 FPV Drones, you’d set up 5 MODELS and give each of those models a name.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Power cable? Power cable as in a battery cable? If you are talking about the part where you plug the battery in 3 times on a drone that has an ELRS RECEIVER, then the drone MUST make a series of tones when a battery is plugged in. If not, then it means your battery is dead or your drone is broken.

No flashing (both drone and remote) no passphrase, no "classic" binding... Something jiggles on the channels in Betaflight configurator when I press bind like described here, but the connection seems to be lost immediately. How TF can I get this to work!?!?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Binding ELRS is super simple, as shown in my video. If yours doesn’t work then it is due to two possibilities. 1. You’re doing it wrong, and/or; 2. Your receiver and transmitter are on different firmware versions. If one is on firmware 2.x and the other on 3.x they will never bind. You need to then either upgrade the firmware on one or downgrade the firmware on the other.

[@FPVRacingDrone]

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Thank you very much for your answer, but I sure checked the obvious stuff in these 8 hours ;-) After 9 hours I found the problem: The SPI receivers in the Mob6 and Mob8 don't work with D(D250, D500), F(F500, F1000) and Full Res(100Hz Full Res, 333Hz Full Res) Modes.

I don't understand about how to setting acro mode? So When you press button to acro mode it will be acro mode or you have to make setup in beta flight to turn on acro mode?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

You first setup a model in the radio and assign whichever switches you wish (as shown in the video). Then in BETAFLIGHT CONFIGURATOR you program the drone so that it understands when you flick a switch a certain thing happens. Every FPV Drone that is a true FPV Drone has ACRO MODE as default, so this means the drone is ready to fly in ACRO MODE when no other mode is selected. This is why you only have to setup Horizon and Angle modes and not setup Acro mode.

Just ordered the Pocket and ERLS rx quad. Beginner. Just playing around with a micro FPV indoor 1s quad with non-Betaflight FC. Thanks for the video tutorial. Question regarding the mode switch. Can it be set up in reverse than what you demonstrated? That is, SB-up as Angle mode, no change for Horizon mode, and SB-down for Acro. Betaflight Configurator supposedly gives you the option to set up "Rate Profile Settings". Would like to set up an "indoors" rate profile. Throttle limit, expo and control(Roll, Pitch, Yaw) expo, max rates. Possible to set the custom rate profile to another switch. Basically a Angle and either custom active or off. If possible might use the remaining 3 way and add couple custom rate profiles to link with Angle Mode active on SB.

Good video but you dont tell us how we check if the radio and the speedy are running the same firmware version , speedy told me its version 3.0.1 but in elrs scroll down to bottom I saw version 3.3.0 so I went to Elrs configurator...also I couldnt bind because UART 3 rx wasnt set. regards from Spain

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

The ELRS version is shown in the video. It works like this… if your radio is ELRS 3.x then it will bind to your drone with ELRS 3.x. The FIRMWARE numbers only need to be identical with the first number.

[@TheWingnut58]

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 this may explain what's going on with my new toy....my Pocket is 3.xx and the receiver FW is 4.xx.

In Betaflight there is no option to flash anything lower than 4.xx onto the Mobula7....do I need to update the Pocket?, and if so, how is that done? Any advice greatly appreciated!

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

@@TheWingnut58 Oh, I think you are confusing a few things. The POCKET is on ELRS firmware version 3.x. There is no ELRS firmware 4.x (not yet, unless you magically found some copy from the future). If you were an experience FPV pilot with experience in the FPV hobby, any issues you have would be easily resolved. But, if you are new at this game, it can be very challenging to problem solve. In Betaflight Configurator you can only FLASH betaflight firmware and usually BL HELI firmware for the ESC motors. Doing either, as someone with no experience will almost surely BRICK your drone. My advice is to simple find someone very knowledgeable in the FPV hobby and let them try your quad out. The only time I have heard of a quad going crazy after arming it is when the WRONG battery is used... such as a 6S battery on a 4S Drone. FPV drones are designed to take off like a rocket, but for someone inexperienced, this can seem all wrong.

[@TheWingnut58]

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 I'm not new to rc, but am very new to fpv and elrs. I wasn't able to bind without flashing the firmware on the Mobula7, but used the version Betaflight recommended. I'm also familiar with lipo batteries and know that I'm using an acceptable battery.....1s 550mah.....and all of it is brand new-never flown. Everything else seems to be working as it should other than the throttle response....so I'm thinking that it might be a setting or calibration that I've missed somewhere. I live in a very rural area and have no clue where the nearest experienced fpv'er might be.....likely hours away. So, and ideas anyone has, I'd love to try and get this thing sorted out.... Edit to add: after arming, once the throttle is advanced above roughly 15-20% the power goes to 100% and remains there regardless of throttle stick position. Another observation is that the motors don't seem to be "synchronized" but rather seem to be shifting speed slightly in a random manner.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

You’re drone is ELRS SPI which means it won’t work the standard way and you need to bind it via Betaflight configurator

Using this radio to controll rc car with elrs...would the set up and bind be different...thanku

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Control an rc car with two joysticks? Rc cars are usually controlled with RC car remotes. Slow moving vehicles like tanks, big trucks, construction equipment are controlled with joysticks. Anyways the setup is similar and bind is the same and there is no need for Betaflight configurator.

Buongiorno io o preso la radio master pocket lrs volevo sapere perché non riesco a fare la Bind io o un EMAX Tinyhawk 3 plus Freestyle HD

Thanks for this video explained really well. I am new to this radio system or protocol. I have a question to ask you. Why when you enter the expresslrs location you notice the name of Radiomaster Zorro and not Radiomaster Pocket like mine? I bought this radio a few days ago, do I have to update the firmware? Unfortunately I haven't been able to bind anything yet. This is the second radio with integrated expresslrs that I've bought, the first time I sold it out of desperation. One of these days I hope to bind a tinnywhoop.

My POCKET RADIO shown in this video is a pre-release version sent to people in the RC Hobby to test and evaluate so mine has older firmware in it.

What happens when the Timer runs out?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

It tells you TIMER EXPIRED, then you land & reset the timer
