@@DimmyV haha nothing yet. To many drones out there to choose. I'm wanting a mid range drone that's whippy. Not sure where to start though

[@DimmyV]

@@cold-frontin_penguin7902 Have you flown FPV before? where you based too, if there's any restrictions might help you with which drone.

[@cold-frontin_penguin7902]

@@DimmyV I live in Mississippi. No is haven't flown fpv before either. We have loose restrictions. I'm really looking for a medium range drone but one I can freestyle with too.

[@DimmyV]

@@cold-frontin_penguin7902 Ok great, I recommend while you look for something start in the simulator, that’s how I learned and will save you from wasting your money if you crash. DRL is cheap and has a good training schedule. Can be found on both consoles and computer. I would get a training drone too something small and cheap to practice on like Emax TinyHawk 3. I know in US there are drone rules so keep an eye on the weight

[@megiMove]

Damn. I just ordered this controll. I've only used dji vista and o3. Super easy. This makes me wonder if i made a mistake going to tbs?? So complex 😂😂

[@DimmyV]

It’s not that bad. I’ve tried my best to simplify the setup.

[@jasunitskateboard]

Hi! thanks for the video. Do you know how to inverse the pitch setting?

[@DimmyV]

You would have to change this on the controller and BetaFlight. However I do not recommend this as it feels very un-natural with flight. Think of a joystick of a plane. You pull back to go up and push forward to go down. For FPV by inverting pitch this would mean to go forward you would pull back and backwards would be push forward. It seems very un-natural to flight and it could lead to confusion. Are you coming from a gaming background?

[@salynin]

Thank you for your video! What do you think about "Dynamic power" in radio settings. Some pilots say that it needs to be switched off but i see you use it "on" i'm trying to understand what does this parameter need for?

[@DimmyV]

To be honest I'm still early on in FPV so I've left it on for now to learn from it. I may change in it future but I also haven't flown far enough. It will essential increase power as you fly further. Don't forget there is interference too from other sources. I would find what best works for you and the location you fly, it will vary.

[@Ryan-Tv-Show]

Hello my friend ! Just a question. What is "betaflight setup" used for in tango? Basically, if we click on it, what happens?

[@DimmyV]

Betaflight is the software you need to setup your quad and make adjustments. I recommend watching Joshua Bardwell videos on that.

[@safspy]

hi, if you can, please describe about the ligotic switch 3, 4 and 5 what are they for, where do you use them and is there an audio track for them, too, since there is little information about this in the video

[@DimmyV]

3, 4 and 5 are all to do with the link quality of the Tango 2 to the drone. So if you connection is at 80% or 70% you will get a warning. There is sounds available so one can be selected. There's little information as you said so it's important for the FPV community to share so I anyone can provide more information. feel free. Bardwell is a good source as well as other pilots who fly crossfire. Oscar Liang has some good content too.

[@BastienChaillot]

Hello Demetrios I ask question for you, I don't find calibration for my TBS Tango 2 Pro, it's new menu with 11 page and i can't find. Can you help me pls 🙏

[@DimmyV]

If you referring to the sticks someone has asked that before Long Press Menu, Page 5 and there you go 🍻 kzbin.info/www/bejne/aV6TgoKcaNRnaKc

[@BastienChaillot]

@@DimmyV thanks dude 🙏

[@Swole_Gecko]

I love this video! But quick question: Does your radio have a static noise in the background of voice callouts that varies every time you turn it on? Sometimes when I use my radio it sounds like an analog TV and other times it sounds clear and I think it varies based on the battery voltage. Is this normal? 🤔

[@DimmyV]

That I am not sure, the audio won't be the most amazing quality though as its limited to one speak so it will sound a bit like analog TV, which I kinda like. Playing back on my Mac is fine it's clear. I reckon if it Tango had another speaker it wouldn't be a problem but then again this isn't the controllers primary function so I can live with it.

[@Swole_Gecko]

@@DimmyV so sitting here messing with it I just noticed if I switch it to 25mw the audio is clear and switching to 1W the audio is very staticy/buzzy meaning the audio quality is tied to how much voltage the radio is sucking out the battery. At least on mine.

[@DimmyV]

Nice, I think I kept mine at 25mw

[@FpvLongRangeHobby]

Hey Demetrios, i am new on the hobby, looking for my Tango 2 some sounds like "arm" missing at all there is no such sound available on the device. Is something that i can add?

[@DimmyV]

I actually have a video with the sound pack for this. Link will be in video description 🍻

how to calibrate the sticks？i cant find it in the new menu😭

[@1Kingsman_]

if im using 6s battery so i will set it to 22.2v? and for the critical battery if i set it to 4.4v is it ok? im new to fpv.. hope your responds help my friend.

[@DimmyV]

So 14v is for 4s 14/4 = 3.5v which is the per cell for low voltage warning 13.3/4 = 3.3v which is the per cell for critical voltage warning for 6s you multiple the 3.5 x 6 = 21v for low battery 3.3v x 6 = 19.8v for critical voltage warning If you prefer to have a higher threshold for a warning your adjust your per cell voltage by 6. For example you low warning you prefer to be 3.4v then you multiply this by 6 so 20.4v. I hope this explains it. You might want to research the threshold for 6S lips like when it's a good time to come into land and when you should landing immediately. If it were me I'd keep as is for 6S but I haven't got to 6S yet. If someone has experience and reads this appreciate your input.

[@peterkortvel]

It would great to explain what things you are about to do are for. For example, you start talking about Betaflight. Maybe just say what it is, what it is for and then keep going. Thanks

[@DimmyV]

Appreciate the feedback, that’s a valid point. FPV is already an overload early on and BetaFlight is something we all need to learn. I will always point new pilots to Joshua Bardwell playlist as he’s covered it in-depth. I will keep in mind for future videos. 🙏🏼

[@peterkortvel]

@@DimmyV anyways. thanks for the video! very helpful

mate i didnt understand a word of that im just starting out and im trying to bind me tango 2 to my Nazgul evoque5xframe v2 with 03 unit, I need a tutorial that i can understand as a brand new fpv drone pilot this is literally my first real fpv drone after flying with the dji fpv drone... any suggestions for me to get it all set up and configured with betaflight and set the switches on the controller bud? im really stuck here and i just want to get out and fly my £1.000 worth of things lmao :(

[@myfpvshots]

I have 2 fpv quads and bounded one by one. I used the first quad and changed to the second one. Do I need to rebind the second quad again?

[@DimmyV]

you shouldn't have to, unless its between the VISTA and O3 then you do.

[@myfpvshots]

@@DimmyV Thank you

[@Thats-FPV]

this is old but hopefully you can answer for me this video has help be tremendously but on the logical switch's I'm stuck. v1 section mine doesn't give me the option to make it say RX BT

[@DimmyV]

I need to take a look at this it’s been a while. The beauty is once it’s setup don’t need to look at it again and can just fly

[@marcreuther1818]

how can i inverted the throttle so when i push down the stick for gas, ich trainined all the simulator with this setting? Thanks for advice

[@DimmyV]

That’s interesting to fly that way. I personally wouldn’t recommend this as it’s not natural. However this would need to be configured on betaflight. Joshua Bardwell has an in-depth tutorial on his channel.

[@marcreuther1818]

@@DimmyV Ok, thank you i will try to learn that normaly.

[@aarondodson1261]

Hello i was wondering im using a 6s lipo what do i set the bat call out for when it gets low say 3.7

[@DimmyV]

Multiply by 6. If 3.7 v per cell is your low battery warning then 22.2v.

[@aarondodson1261]

@DimmyV thanks I did that but it's still calling out at incorrect voltage I'm not sure why

[@DimmyV]

Hmmmh I remember vaguely this happened to me when I reset my tango 2 but can’t remember what I did to fix. Try turning the drone on and off. Is a LiPo plugged in (I know basic but try everything). Take a look at Bardwells videos maybe need a configuration in betaflight I remember looking at this too. Check settings again incase you missed anything. If you do solve it appreciate you can reply so we know what the issue is and others can see.

[@safspy]

Good afternoon, thank you for the information, but in your video I didn’t see that you put sounds for L3 or L4 somewhere. or this is not necessary and warnings and it will be like this without a special function

[@DimmyV]

Someone had the same question the other day, essentially when the TBS signal is low you get a warning, I haven't flown that far to be out of range to test this, normally goggles would go first.

[@safspy]

​@@DimmyVOK, thank you. I probably expressed myself poorly, or you misunderstood me, but thanks anyway for your patience and for your answer. I’ll try to figure out how it works myself.

I know this is quite an old video so guess they have updated the Radio Firmware. When I try to setup the logical switch I don't have the RxBT option.

That is interesting, I haven't check for latest firmware or if this has an effect, but this is good to know. Personally I wish they would make this simpler and more friendly but its better than most.
