Radiomaster TX16S Mark II (2) - What's New?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

PLEASE NOTE: If you should see a comment from me saying you have been selected for a prize, it is not me, but rather just some scammer trying to get your money. You have been warned!

[@caitgems1]

Does this mean you'll just gift me the controller 🤣

[@captain-22]

Unless its a CAPTAIN DRONE, RADIOMASTER neon showpiece..🤣😋

[@danielson101]

Thank you Captain’

[@danielson101]

That makes it easier’

[@CarbonGlassMan]

I just bought the TX16S. I flew from beginning until a week ago with the Taranis X9 Lite, so almost 2 years. I love this Radiomaster product. I love the touch screen. It's a comfortable radio to fly with and it does D8 mode so I can fly my Tinyhawk with it. It's pretty pathetic that an Frsky radio doesn't work with Frsky D8, but a Radiomaster radio does work with the Frsky D8 receivers.

[@CarbonGlassMan]

I'm making a reverse polarity circuit and installing it in mine. Glad they finally did that. Cheap toys have reverse polarity protection.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Yup... wonder why it took so long.

[@CarbonGlassMan]

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 They probably had to get a bunch of complaints that people accidentally put the batteries in backwards and fried a $200-$300 radio. It's such a simple circuit though.

[@Zollt76]

Realy wish thay made one with 5 in 1 -- like 4-1 +ELRS :) Grate video as allways !

[@RC-Flight]

🎉I just shifted from Spektrum to this 16s mkII and I’ll say this is one nice radio for the price.

[@ChainsawFPV]

I have been waiting for this to drop. Love that they did built in ELRS!!! I must have one!!!

[@MrBvbike]

Good job Steve! Agreed that if you already own a TX16s or better the eachine version(already has upgraded gimbals) then this is not a "must" upgrade. Awesome radio nonetheless👍

[@ModernDayTemplar606]

It sure has a lot to offer. I really like the mic and the raised hand grips. I will purchase one when the Captain Drone version is released. 🧐😎 Btw. The Radio Master/ Captain Drone display is nice and would look great in the background

[@h2o40fpv]

Well I had to order the radio for the simple reason that my old Radio Master got brick won't turn . And I got the 4 in 1 . I have the crossfire module and the ELRS module. Thank u for the video.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

You'll certainly enjoy this new model.

[@FahadKhan_3007]

Radiomaster is again here with the new version of Radio Controller! It is a great thing that they are making products frequently! TX16S Mark II looks like a fantastic Radio with all the necessary features! Its Display is pretty visible and big, that is good and also it speaks in a loud voice which is helpful! Its cost is also not so much, starting at 200 dollars! That is an another cool controller of the FPV world!

Got mine just last week. It's a pretty nice radio, however they changed the sd card contents. No Bardwell sound tracks came on mine. Ive found them on the web, would have been sweeter if they came installed as an option on the card, but it's still a good deal.

[@Enlamentedeunchallenger]

Im quite new in FPV world, Im gonna get a controler first to start to learn with the simulator, do you recommend me this controller? Im 100% sure I will go deep into this world so I think is worth it to spend an extra to get a good quality controller so I dont need to upgrade in years.

[@divebudd]

Thank you for this review. May I please ask what is the name of the Simulator shown in 06:50?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

It is called FREERIDER

[@MikeKinney8675]

[@DimmyV]

Ok so you have a video about the Eachine TX16 or this? Same no?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Yes, I have a review of the Eachine TX16S… just do a search & you’ll find it

[@DimmyV]

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 which one do you recommend this one or Eachine?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

@@DimmyV The EACHINE version is made by RADIOMASTER. It is just a slightly lesser version than the original TX16S. If you don't need all the extras then it is a good deal.

[@alexherrera3918]

any opinio about the boxer compared to tx16x?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

The boxer is simply a lesser radio than the full featured TX16S. For the Pros in the RC hobby that fly planes, helicopters, FPV drones, drive tanks, large boats/submarines, they all the TX16s. Those who only fly FPV Drones would be happy with the lesser functions and lower price of the Boxer.

[@alexherrera3918]

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 thanks!!!

[@stainjah]

Love your videos! I am looking to buy this transmitter. But i am not sure what version to use. I have the avata 2 and a pavo20 elrs and one iflight nazgul which i will add a elrs reciver to. I also have a couple of fixed wing with spektrum. I want one transmitter for everything (exept avata) Will it be best to get the elrs version ( for more range) and add a 4 in 1 module for the fixed wings? Oooor just go with the 4in1? (This has less range?)

[@squaddingquads]

Oh baby

[@blue03r6]

What do you mean the ix12 only works with horizon hobby products? 🤨

[@Dean-Sala]

I fly fixed wing, but this radio is making me think about going beyond my dji and getting a high performance drone!

[@ashleym2878]

Give rc helicopters a go we need more helicopter pilots and they are easier to fly than they used to be more like a drone especially eflight helis

[@carlosnava8546]

Love your videos Sir

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Thanks for watching

[@PierreFromCanada]

you should creat your own Captain Drone Sound file for the TX16s Mark II..:-) 😁 I'd certainly try it out,..

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Ha ha... perhaps one day.

[@aksarpip9733]

[@jonnmedds]

Am I correct in thinking I can add Edge TX to my TX16s which then enables touchscreen?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Good question. If the hardware is compatible with Edge TX then perhaps yes.

[@fpvdotkiwi]

Yes, touchscreen working for all TX16 variants in EdgeTX.

[@Pustul]

How does the v4 gimbals compare to the mark I? Would you advise to go for the AG01 or are the plastic ones good enough in the mark II?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Honestly I have about 20 different radios and after awhile you just get used to the gimbals you have. The only reason we change gimbals in the RC Hobby is because we live in a HOT or COLD climate and when you take a radio from one temperature (HOT) to another (COLD) the lower quality gimbals are affected in that they are no longer precise/accurate.

[@Bass.Player]

Does the drone camera appear on the touch screen?

[@dillard715]

No. This is for fpv drone or rc helicopter and planes. Line of sight and or fpv googles

[@printer5518]

Hey Steve your right, actually as of today you have more Subs than JB. You should have a CD version. Maybe they could do a Boxer 4 in 1 Captain Drone version😊

[@MyMiniDroneLife]

I see this radio can bind with a few Chinese drones, I watched a YT of this radio with a Syma drone, do you think it can bind with the YLR/C S135 Pro? If so I'm getting this in CD Red!

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

The radio binds with receivers that it is compatible with, so that means whatever drone you are looking at, it is not the drone you should be looking at but rather the type of receiver in the drone.

[@justme4172]

Will that work with Holystone drones?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

I don’t believe so

[@ashleym2878]

I would prefer my old ix12 over the radiomaster. As I trust spektrum 2.4 more than self tuning radiomaster which is a bit amateur. Also the software layout of spektrum is far better for me as a helicopter and aeroplane pilot. But I can live with the radiomaster given I can use any reciever for smaller muck around aircraft. Oh also it boots up in seconds not minutes like ix12

[@michaelbutler2915]

You may be able to modify it, but you will not receive instructions for your mods. No o e from radio master to date has been able to tell me how to add the color plate to my hall gimbals. So if you do consider adding bling. You may want to wait for their Max version to come in that color. It is a great radio. Well. Made and capable with all 12 of my helicopters.

[@Abulho]

Can u use elrs and module and after taking the module can u use 4in1?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

With any Radiomaster Radio you can use the module of your choice

[@newamericatowguy3633]

Out of curiosity will this radio pair up with the Eachine 511x? If not what radio would you recommend for said drone. The controller it came with feels kind of "TOY GRADE" and I'm not impressed with it.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

If your drone came with a controller than it is probably a beginner GPS camera drone perhaps. If that is the case, then no controller will connect to it other than the one you received.

[@newamericatowguy3633]

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 The drone that I have is the Eachine EX5 I believe. It's the one with all the fancy functions and includes the "FOLLOW ME" function. I saw your review on it and I had to have it!

@@newamericatowguy3633 Correct. That won’t work with an RC Hobby radio.

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Is there a receiver and transmitter setup that you could recommend that would swap out with my drone? Or am I stuck with the one I have?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

@@newamericatowguy3633 You are stuck. You see if you buy an all in one GPS camera drone then you are stuck with what you buy, even if you had spent $5000, it is the same. All in one GPS camera drones are designed for beginners so that they can fly with zero knowledge of technology and how everything works. An RC Hobby radio is made for the advanced people in the RC hobby that fly FPV drones, RC Pro cars, RC pro Helicopters and RC planes, tanks and boats.

[@theoztreecrasher2647]

Gee that's great. I can hardly wait! I just missed out on paying AU$1,149.99 plus shipping for an ix12 to lock me into buying cheap-as-chips Spektrum receivers and other gear to replace the Radiomaster TX16S I got for under AU$200 landed when they first came out. I'm sick of having to admit that I own something that can use all manner of receivers - even if that does include Spectrum!
