Amazing coverage of RC control links! I've just entered the FPV hobby with a whoop 3 months ago with a X9D+ and XM+. I have been following this channel and others for a couple of years coming from flying Yuneec/DJI camera/video drones. ELRS 900MHz and 2.4GHz are amazing. Look forward to getting more FPV drones and trying out these new RC control links.

This video should be mandatory education for anyone getting into the hobby. SO MUCH GREAT INFO. Thank you JB. I would have saved about $200 on FrSky RX's that I either broke, or were outdated and I didn't know because I was new and just desperate to get in the air (like my XM+ and my R9 and my RX6R). I installed an Archer RS recently and wish that I had just bought a CRSF Nano instead.

I have used and continue to use, for nearly 2 years, both the original R9M as well as the R9M 2019 using ACCST on my Jumper T16 Pro. I like using the R9Stab 900mc. stabilized receiver with the 2019 module flashed with ACCST firmware . I use the old R9M module with the R9 mini and slim. It does work with the right legacy firmware . It works well for me and allows me to use SmartPort sensors to see each battery cell which I insist on.

The updated segments are the entire ELRS segment at 27:45 and a note about ACCESS receiver at 10:46. Regarding the comparison between Tracer and ELRS at around 28:47, the reason Tracer has much shorter range is that it's using FLRC modulation instead of LoRa modulation like ELRS. The tradeoff is that Tracer has full telemetry, while ELRS has only rudimentary telemetry (vBat, LQ, and RSSI). The claim that ELRS has superior range and latency is not just based on this one test, which I pulled from Wez's YT as an example, and to demonstrate that the claims are based on real flight testing not just theory. Wez has done tons of apples-to-apples comparisons between ELRS and other protocols, and ELRS wins every time. However, if you need full telemetry for features like Betaflight Lua scripts or MAVLINK, ExpressLRS is not the best solution (today).
@alxgag3
@alxgag3 3 роки тому

Annoyingly I bought into Flysky (with the Turnigy Evolution!) when I first started FPV, and now I can't figure out an upgrade path that doesn't involve a certain amount of messing around.... with a mix of 5", 3" and whoops all configured and working OK, it'd be nice to move to a better radio and link system knowing it's going to be good for a while.

Joshua, first EXCELLENT VIDEO! Covered it all very thoroughly. The only slide I think that was missing from this video was DJI's FPV control link and how that stands up to all of the others. I only mention it because so many folks (like myself) have BNF quads with DJI Air Units or Caddx Vista systems in them. Again, just for comparison purposes (latency, distance, etc.). Again..excellent video as I'm certainly thinking of going TBS CrossFire with a TBS Tango II controller myself (just to mix things up). 👍👍👍

A couple of bits that you have missed with the TBS products. One is that they can talk to each other transmitter to receiver to VTX to Fusion enabling dynamic control, OSD and been able to update not only the receiver over the air but also the VTX. That's one of the biggest benefit's of TBS products. Another one is TBS also does PWM from 4, 6 and 8 channels through a simple adaptor boards for both Crossfire and Tracer. ImmersionRC Ghost is supposed to be getting a similar eco system to TBS, the orca goggles have a slot of a Ghost receiver for instance, but not much has been heard about it since. ELRS looks to becoming a great system for the future.

Also Joshua, I saw you left a comment that the performance is very similar, this is because all of these systems use nearly identical hardware, on the tx it's a 250-1000mw transceiver with a semtech sx12xx chip and a stm32fx chip and the receivers are a semtech sx12xx along with an stm32f0 processor and minimal supporting circuit. The only meaningful differences between them are firmware and operating frequency.

A digiadapter and rapid-fire module because I couldn't see withthe tinyhawk goggles. moblite 7 being delivered tomorrow. Already have what seems to be never-ending plans to buy more stuff now. Heeeeeelp I can't stop now. I just want to freestyle and learn to fly better in acro mode with higher rates. Oh yeah bought a racing gate the other day too.

I've got a Jumper T16, so FrSky Accst BNF is going to be my way forward until I can save up for a module. Probably going to spring for TBS Crossfire. If I need to replace or upgrade my Jumper, probably going to spring for something with ExpressLRS 2.4 built in and use then-my Crossfire mod for any models that still use it by then, as my long term plan. Might also spring for a commercial eLRS module setup since I haven't really started my return to FPV in earnest yet.

How far do you get with the crystals? Have you tried 1200mw? I am searching for a antennas to get out for like 6km. Still not sure if the truerc x-air V2 are worth it or if i should get the iflight crystal

Ariel Imagery- still have any Spectrum receivers that you are interested in selling? As a JR flyer, I am currently locked into that arena, and of course finding difficulties buying receivers currently. Wanna talk?

One of the most important updates of the year. Good job. Would like to know what the future is for video systems. I've been putting off buying a digital video system thinking someday SharkByte may catch up to DJI. I don't trust DJI. I know Timecop hated their guts.

Thanks a lot - that makes my decision much more easier for my long range (ELRS-) plans and as you wrote in the comments of the 'old' video the r9-modules will work not only in frsky TX when ELRS is flashed to it . Especially because I'm a friend of FLOSS and fortunately I've got no problems with soldering ;) What about a VTX comparisson in the same manner?
@JoshuaBardwell
@JoshuaBardwell 3 роки тому
To be clear, the R9 ACCESS firmware only works in Frsky radios. You can flash ACCST firmware to the R9 module and it will work in 3rd party radios, or you can flash ELRS and it will work. The ACCST firmware for R9 has not been updated since approximately Feb 2020, so it feels like FrSky has sort of abandoned it, and that's why I didn't discuss it much in this video.

@@JoshuaBardwell Yes, that's pretty clear. But why in hell should I use ACCST when ELRS is a free and open protocol that allows a much greater range 🤔

Currently flying Crossfire for medium range and frsky for micros. But have ordered a Ghost module and intend to switch everything over to that, eventually. If I had more free time available, maybe I would give elrs a shot. However, after flying Crossfire for over a year, I am spoiled and want a system that just works and is easy to manage. Would have gone with Tracer if they had half-decent range at 250 mw. Unfortunately, as we all know by now, it doesn't.
