TBS Crossfire Micro V2 Low River Run Test 😎 - AR Pro FPV

🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 FULL SETUP AND LINKS IN DESCRIPTION BELOW ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️ (Click 'SHOW MORE'👈🏻 )
Time to see if TBS Crossfire Micro V2 has what it takes for me to fly nice and low along a river behind land and trees. Max power output on this unit is 1w and I have it set to Dynamic power mode so it will adjust to the power automatically to try and achieve a high Link Quality (LQ). I'm using stock antennas both ends, the receiver is a nano with an Immortal T. I also brought out the True RC Gatling antenna for my video on this run, as it produces the clearest results. Pretty gusty day, you'll see from the DVR recording, I even had my tripod blow over! Hope you guys find this interesting anyway :)
I got the info about the CF RF modes from ‪@JoshuaBardwell‬ in the following video, so check that out if you want to know more on this subject: • Crossfire RSSI not 99?...

Hi Adam, awesome video as usual. it is Nice to see that even with everything installed so close to each other,, there is no interference (as I was told to place the "trinity" as much apart as possible).

[@AdamGdoesFPV]

Thanks 😊 Ideally you do want to keep the 3 components separated as much as you can as it will give you the best chance of it performing well. However, as you can see from this video it doesn’t have to be a huge distance apart.

In line with what others have said and problems Coyote had I’ve stayed away from 1.2/3 with CRSF. Your video and link look rock solid. Think I might have to give it a go. Great vid by the way. Looking forward to the river run premier….

[@AdamGdoesFPV]

Yeah I heard of people having problems but I just needed to get out there and try it for myself. As you can see, no problem at all 😄 I think the key to it is making sure you're not stood too close to your groundstation. Enjoy

[@WinstonSmith1984]

Thanks for the detailed info. That's a fantastic place to fly. If you know where all the cables or other dodgy spots are on that route and if you go there on a calm day, then you can get down really low where possible. That'll be awesome.

So impressive almost hard to believe. I’m having trouble getting over 1-2 km running at 1w.

Sounds like you have either an issue with your setup or interference in your area. People have been known to go as far as 80km on 250mw 😯

[@aidanmcgee5900]

Awesome video as usual Adam. I also took the plunge into Crossfire, sold all my R9 gear. Very happy with it, couldn’t believe how easy it was to bind RXs and setup. Needed 3 hands binding FRsky receivers 😂. Will you go full out CRSF on all models now? Or stay DragonLink?👍

[@AdamGdoesFPV]

haha I hear you on the FrSky binding! CF is for sure the most user friendly of all control systems I've used, real nice design. I'll stick with Dragonlink on the planes that already have it as it just works, but new planes will probably get CF as it's easy to get hold of and cheap! Cheers mate

[@Checkyoursix77]

Great content as usual! 👍 How much did the crossfire affect the video quality? Did you use a notch filter? Didn’t know you could use crossfire with 1,3 ghz video without interference. That’s why I use 433 ghz mfd link but I would love to use the crossfire instead.

[@AdamGdoesFPV]

There was no loss in video quality, as you can see from the live feed my video was pretty solid throughout most of this. I used no notch filters, I believe the trick is physical separation between your CF Tx and tour video receivers. Take a look at the landing at the end you’ll see I was stood a nice distance away from my tripods. Cheers 😊

[@ronbo422]

Adam, awesome video! My Mini Drak currently is equipped with a Myflydream 433MHz RC link, with 1.3GHz video. I'm thinking of trying Crossfire on it and am curious how the 900MHz and 1.3G video play with each other? Did you have to do any filtering on either the wing or your goggles?

[@AdamGdoesFPV]

Hi, no filtering on either end, this is just plug and play. I had some separation between my CF tx and video rx and I believe this really helps. Cheers

[@EdwardChew]

Dang the osmo video is so smooth

[@AdamGdoesFPV]

Yeah it's a good piece of tech. I still prefer it to any of the gopros that exist

[@EnglishTurbines]

Nice real world demo matey...from your Irish Mountain top...lol...I like how iNAV?...shows your RF level. I wish the R9M system could do that...Did you have your CRSF antennas vertically polarised?...Silly question I know..🤔🤔🤔😀🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@AdamGdoesFPV]

Cheers mate, yeah the OSD items are super handy! I love this kind of info.Yeah I have antennas vertical on both ends 👍🏻

[@grim-upnorth]

Crossfire looks solid af mate!! Very interesting seeing the stats on screen, especially seeing how it deals with keeping a good connection with a combination of increasing the power (I'm assuming dynamic power mode on the TX) and changing RF profile to different frequencies. ☁ ☁ ⚡ ✈ ⚡ ☁ ☁

[@AdamGdoesFPV]

Cheers mate. Yeah using dynamic power mode, should have mentioned that at the start really. Crossfire is certainly very capable! 😁👍🏻

[@MrBulukuduk]

always Awesome.. compare to other type you have, MTD mini crosswind, which one do you prefer for long range fpv?

[@AdamGdoesFPV]

The MCW for long range. It’s more stable and relaxing to fly, it can carry whatever you want, it can fly for hours if you need it to... and it’s super quiet in comparison. Cheers

[@AdamGdoesFPV]

It's really handy to have! You get a much better indication of how your link is in comparison to RSSI. Cheers for watching Mike

[@ObsidianFPV]

@@AdamGdoesFPV not sure how I missed this. lol

[@n1vca]

Thanks, very interesting ... I would have guessed that 1.2 GHz video TX, being relatively close to the 900 MHz crossfire TRX's frequency would desensitize it, but it seems they have quality bandpass filters on the front end of the tiny trx that avoids this effect. Since we have mobile networks operating around 900 MHz in Europe, I guess they had to add very good front end filtering to maintain good receiver sensitivity without being overloaded by the very strong nearby signals. I am planning to build a long range wing this Q2 as well and am still unsure if I should go with a digital high res DJI FPV system or since I am a radio amateur, also operate a 23cm (1.2 GHz) analog transmitter that I can run with as much power as I like. If going analog I have to put a real ground station together, which has the beauty that I can build my own high gain antennas and get a very good range. The problem is that I am already spoiled with a digital 720p HD signal from my Parrot Disco wing and as I see here on KZbin, watching analog can be painful at times. Though your analog system looks pretty good. I guess I have to make up my mind soon and order stuff from China, since it will take a month to get here and the fun flying climate is coming to Germany soon.

[@AdamGdoesFPV]

Whatever they've done it works. I'm running mine on the legal channel here which is 868. I also have a 720p HD FPV system on my mini Talon (Shark Byte) and to be honest although the picture is clearer, i prefer 1.3g analogue so much more. The freedom it gives you cannot be matched by any HD system that exists today unfortunately. In fact I'm going to sell my HD system and stick with analogue 1.3. Cheers

[@flyhigh_hifi]

Hi Adam! Thanks for video, waiting for my pepperbox now to dive into 1.3 🙂 By the way did you use telemetry in this flight? If yes where did it fell off?

[@AdamGdoesFPV]

Pepperbox is awesome, you'll love it! The tx gives voice commands to tell me when telemetry is lost and recovered. I did lose telemetry for small periods of time maybe 3 or 4 times during this whole flight. Cheers

[@andrewjamez]

Awesome flight. Do you have line of sight for the whole flight?if so pretty incredible location.

[@AdamGdoesFPV]

Not quite, I'm behind land and trees for a lot of the river section. Thats why I run high gain antennas for video😎 cheers

[@FPVTrond]

Thanks for sharing :) Didn't think crossfire and 1.2/1.3GHz was a good combination, thanks for showing that it is. You are using 5.8GHz relay from ground station to goggles right? By the way the link for Matek VTx in your description doesn't work. Is it 630mW?

[@AdamGdoesFPV]

Glad I could help! Yes it seems a decent combination for me so far, had no issues with it. Yes 5.8g relay to goggles. Thanks for the info on the link, I'll fix it.

[@EnglishTurbines]

Had a lockout on my R9M at close range yesterday on my quad. Not heavily invested in it, I decided to give it the push. Ordered a Crossfire Micro V2 TX Module and a Nano SE RX.....The new TBS App that runs under OTX finally pushed me into it. This and the RF in OSD etc...This is your fault....lol...

[@AdamGdoesFPV]

Lockout at close range is bad news, flying with a reliable control link makes the hobby so much more enjoyable. I think buying a CF is a good move and you’ll really like it. The app is nice, this user friendly setup and config is a huge advantage over Dragonlink. Anyway, if it’s my fault you bought one, it’s a good thing, so... you’re welcome 😄

[@EnglishTurbines]

@@AdamGdoesFPV I think it was a combination of the TX on Flex dropping its output and the VTX antenna being between me and the Rx antenna. It's a bit weird TBH, the RX just froze but I did have FS set to hold, which it did. The RSSI on the DVR was nailed at 99%...the quad was pretty low, so no real damage...I'm sure CRSF will be a more secure link...😳😀😀🇬🇧

[@egtreadway4232]

Hey Darren I know you no longer have your ar wing pro but looking at this video I'm just wondering how and why did you install the immortal t antenna out on looks like almost to the wing tip? I have new wing s coming for mine and will do the same as yours. Were did you mount the receiver? Did you use the extra long 120mm antenna? I've always mounted my rx antenna vertical in fuselage on one side and 5.8ghz fpv antenna on other side of fuselage. I'm thinking the way you do it might help with signal for both. Just to let you know after following your advice on autolaunch this wing launching pretty good, I used to launch in cruse mode and I never took a few steps in direction of flight, I now activate autolaunch in manual,a few steps forward and away it goes in straight line like magic. It's taken me 2 years, alot of glue, a shit load of spare parts but this technique is what resolved my issues. Thanks so much

[@AdamGdoesFPV]

Hey, I mount the rx on the wing for good separation of antennas. The ARPro is designed to make this really easy as it already has the compartment out on the wing with the wiring. I just put the Rx in the wing and used standard antenna. Hope this helps

[@AdamGdoesFPV]

Hi, no not true, the antenna on the tx is bendy and can be twisted so that you can have it vertical when flying and horizontal for storage

[@supriyakumarmishra9177]

I am a rookie here, but I have a question, before getting the controllers, and gadgets part sorted, how do you get the body of the drone, is it hand made or is there a marketplace for it.

2 things. Firstly there is a problem with your setup. You should not be on 500mw at 200m. I’ve heard of people being at 10km on 25mw in ideal conditions with a good setup. Secondly are you talking LQ or RSSI, because I’m displaying LQ not RSSi.

I see that you're displaying Lq instead, and it's pretty much 100-90, I must be in a very noisy environment I Fail-safe at 3km my LQ is solid at 100 up to 2.5km then it goes to 60-70 and RSSI is 50 at 100m then it shrinks to 35or less at 1km.

Are you using notch filter !

[@AdamGdoesFPV]

Nope. No filters on anything

[@goku445]

Range is incredible flying so low. Video quality is near perfect as well.

[@AdamGdoesFPV]

That's 1.3g with good antennas for you😎 for me nothing can beat the experience of this setup. Thanks

[@cactusjackthedesertrat5601]

What would you suggest for a lipo battery and charger?

[@AdamGdoesFPV]

I use a 2 channel Turnigy Reaktor charger. They don't have the exact model anymore but I think this is the newwer version of it: hobbyking.com/en_us/turnigy-reaktor-120-duo-2x120w-balance-charger-ac-dc-eu-plug.html?affiliate_code=HIMTQOSVVQZHJLM&_asc=2349685468 Depends how many batteries you need to charge and how quick you want to be able to charge them all. Cheers

[@crowbaril903]

Anyone know if I can find a wing that comes with everything but the control? & I could bind to say a dji control or a stripped down control (like the Mav Mini or the miniSE type)

[@AdamGdoesFPV]

You can buy some planes that come with an 'FPV' option. This usually includes everything you need apart from the control gear and the batteries. E.g. The Flying Fish tiny.cc/FlyingFish

So no interference using the Crossfire system with 1.3 video?

[@AdamGdoesFPV]

As much as you see in this video 😊

[@mandel4889]

how did you get the TX output on the OSD ?

[@AdamGdoesFPV]

It's just an OSD element you can add in iNav. On the OSD tab you have to scroll down quite a bit

will you stop using dragon link ?

[@AdamGdoesFPV]

No I will continue to use DL. It's super reliable kit and I have it installed on a bunch of planes.

where did you put extra lead to get cg?

[@AdamGdoesFPV]

I didn’t. Balances without any.

[@AdamGdoesFPV]

@@Chris-vc1dh you need a heavier battery/HD camera. People have been finding it hard to hit CG on these but with the Osmo action and 7000 4s2p lion pack it’s spot on

Just the wrong pack then. ZOHD 7000 4S2p fits perfectly

Won't be for me as 2.4g doesn't play well with 1.3g video 👍🏻

please test expressLRS

Probably won't happen sorry. Crossfire is just so cheap and works really well

[@skyforce1983]

Lol that antenna is not 1.3ghz it's 1280ghz totally different channel

[@grim-upnorth]

I think you mean 1280MHz which is 1.28GHz.... round it up, 1.3GHz I don't see the problem here. Whilst the antenna might indeed be engineered to work best with 1.28GHz, it is in fact very suitable for use on channels that are closely either side of that specific channel. In the same way as you can really only buy antennas for the 5.8GHz "range" of frequencies, these manufacturers tend to make antennas for the 1.3GHz "range" of frequencies.

[@AdamGdoesFPV]

Joey I can work out if you’re joking or if you’re just a bit confused 🤔

Hey Adam I just wanted to get your attention and let ya know I like the long range stuff and I wanna see more of it I have the same setup as you already I was joking man
