RadioMaster Pocket - How To Set Up and Bind a Drone - Step by Step

[@paulholm4827]

I have watched a ridiculous number of videos trying to learn about this stuff and so far you are the best I have found. Better than JB who I do like.

Thanks! I try to keep every Short, Sweet & Simple in all my vids.

[@chuckgreen5855]

Captain Drone does a great job of telling AND showing exactly what to do. He doesn't do any sleight of hand or move too fast. He understands his audience needs and capabilities and delivers magnificently. The video on the RadioMaster Pocket setup and binding was such a time saver and extremely helpful to this beginner. If asked how this could have been improved, I would say at least MENTION the trim adjustments.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Thanks, I appreciate the feedback. The reason the TRIM functions are not mentioned is because most of my audience is setting up the radio for an FPV Drone and there is no such thing as TRIM for an FPV Drone.

[@chuckgreen5855]

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Thank you for the explanation. Since my simulator drone on Velocidrone goes forward when I only move the throttle, I assumed the trims for fine tuning the joysticks. Guess not!!

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

@@chuckgreen5855 On a sim, if things are not correct it is because you have not gone to the menu and selected CONFIGURE INPUT DEVICE. Every simulator should have such an option. You then move the joysticks in different directions as the instructions walk you through the process.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

You are welcome, glad you found it useful.

[@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.

I bought the cc2500 version of this controller so I could use with my frsky drones and this video definitely helped with the only difference really being the binding process which you simply do within page 2 after turning the internal rf on and to frsky d 8 for my case there is a bind/bnd option there on page 2 that after the drone is in bind mode you simply click bnd on page 2 that’s it well of course after binding go through bf like cap shows here.

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.

[@stevemartin2274]

I bought a Radiomaster Boxer 4-1 and a Radiomaster Ranger Micro module elrs to configure the quad.. I am have had all sorts of issues setting it up to work with a Betafpv Air 65 elrs to the degree I have sold the quad. After watching this video I am going to buy another Betafpv Air 65 elrs, but a Radiomaster Pocket and follow this video to set it up. My Boxer will be used for sim only from now on. Thanks for a very detailed and easy to follow video. 👏👏👏

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

You are most welcome! You may wish to check if the BETAFPV AIR 65 is ELRS or ELRS SPI. If it is ELRS, then you bind as shown in this video. If it is ELRS SPI, then you bind within BETAFLIGHT CONFIGURATOR on the RECEIVER TAB (you'll see the bind button). Just press it on-screen, and also select it on your radio (all within seconds of each other). You'll then know if you're bound or not because the RADIO will say something and/or you'll seed your joystick inputs move onscreen.

[@FPVRacingDrone]

I hate ExpressLRS so much right now I've been trying to connect my Mobula8 to my Pocket for 8 hours now, spread over a week. Nothing works. 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. That was not very obvious

This video was super helpful, thank you. So, I’m still having a blast rocking the Aquila 16 though still can’t get use to wearing the goggles. Still flying FPV using a separate VRx and the flat screen in my garage. What I’ve been wanting to do, is to start upgrading components on the Aquila 16 or just do a “ from scratch “ build of a tiny whoop. Ive actually printed a couple frames that are similar to a Pavo. What I’m wondering is if you’ve a video on drone builds, component selection, initial configuration, etc. I need serious tutoring in Flight Controller, VTx/Camera, other drone electronics with focus on controllers and protocols. I’m old school and use to the clunky Rx bricks you’d plug whatever number of servos into, match Tx/Rx crystal freq’s and that’s it. I’m not even sure receivers with huge numbers of channels are a thing anymore. And the protocols…..??? I’ve watched what videos of yours I can find and they answered a lot of my questions. If you already have a video that covers this, please point me in the right direction. If not, I’m going to cross my fingers that you release one in the near future. I know there’s a lot of content out there on the subject, I just prefer the way you do it. Thanks for the great videos!!

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.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Keep trying. I think the POCKET uses a micro SD card for ELRS data so it could just be a glitch (as long as the Micro SD card was not erased or damaged). Power off, wait a few seconds, power on, and try again.

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

There could be a hundred reasons why it did not work, such as you made a mistake in the setup of your radio so your joysticks are not doing another, or you have a bad USB Cable, or you plugged the USB cable into the wrong port on the drone, or your drone needs to be powered with a battery before connnecting to BETAFLIGHT, or in BETAFLIGHT you have the wrong configuration for the RECEIVER, etc

@@michaelchristaldi If it does not pick up the movement of your switch then either your switch is not set up correctly on your radio (keep in mind that all those switches on your radio do absolutely nothing until your assign them to a channel in your radio). In betaflight configuration, can you see any switches moving when you flick them? Also, just incase you are a totally newbie, I have to say the obvious... switches like the arm switch can't work if your throttle is not a ZERO.

I'm a new player in drones. I have SJRC F22s for 6 months i would like to know if it is possible to bind with ELRS remote controller?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Nope. ELRS only binds to ELRS, and there is no ELRS in the SJRC F22s. ELRS is a LONG RANGE receiver.

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Thank you for your reply. Another question, so if want my SJRC F22s to have a new controller that can go a longer distance what can I do?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

@@samcho882You can’t. Drones with cameras and GPS that come in a box with a remote can’t be modified.
