Great video, so useful! Thank you!

Thx Lee. Best comparison I’ve seen so far. Yet I’ve come to expect that from your channel.

I'd love to see how you did that - no video showing it on your channel?

Awesome comparison, Lee! Thanks! 😃 You see, I would love to like the T-Pro... Full 18650s and so on... But those switches kill me. So, if I had to choose I would go with the Zorro. My vision isn't that great either, so the bigger screen is a sweet addition! Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Great comparison Lee, thank you. I’m awaiting arrival of stock so I can get the Zorro in ELRS flavour to give that a try, it’s the availability of trims and other features that are so similar to a full size TX that attract me. I also like the idea of trying Edge TX and it’s suggested benefit when using SIMS that clinches the deal here.

you can put edges on the tpro

In the end I went for the Jumper, way smaller and better battery life was what pushed me over. The better price and an included bag for storage was some nice icing on the cake!

Hi Mr. P Great video and comparison of the JUMPER and Radiomaster game style radio's. For years I have been flying with a original style radio's and then I started flying quads and ended up switching to the FRSKY Xlite radio and after that I was no longer able to pinch the sticks but had to switch to thumbing it. But now I'm flying wings, airplanes and quads with it. I like the Radiomaster over the Jumper mainly because of the switches and the larger screen.

Received my 18350 cells for my Zorro yesterday and am quite looking forward to flying with my Zorro. One small drawback I discovered yesterday was Banggood pushed the estimated ship-by date to 20 Mar :( Yes I could order a Zorro from HobbyRC right now but it wouldn't be much use to me without a Crossfire Nano TX, which nobody appears to have any stock anywhere.

Sticking to my Taranis X-lite. Has everything I need.

I can’t wait till mine arrives, I reckon Radiomaster is now the leader of the pack in innovative design and style.

Trimmers and switches on the T-Pro are a deal breaker for me, but I fly planes just as much as drones. I might need to give the Zorro a try just to have a compact option.

Thanks Lee

Great Info! Gonna figure out which one will be best for my Bogiebot 8 wheeled robot or my Robotic Catamaran project... Hmmm

Great review, prefer the zorro more, I wonder if radio master will make a version with better gimbals and a colour touchscreen 😆

Not sure if I missed it in the video, but any info on whether either of these support Crossfire/Tracer running at full power? My understanding is that a lot of these smaller controllers will only run your CRSF module at low power and not the silly/ludicrous/etc power they'd run at on, say, a TX16s. I think I saw one review that said that the Jumper was one of the first to be able to run higher powers vs other gamepad-style controllers. I'm interested in the Zorro, but having to run my Tracer module at low power could be a deal breaker?

I like zorro better for switch setup. T-pro just killed it with momentary on side that normally arm switch.

I like the T-pro, for most of the reasons people didn’t. Gimbals are ok I’m a hybrid pincher and use a lanyard, my style switches with the aircraft. I’ve never accidentally hit another switch while wearing goggles because their aren’t any protruding out in the way, major plus for you multi switch function users. The antenna is ok I’d rather a removable snap in place or twist on.

I've tried these gamer style transmitter 's and even though I used to play playstation games etc, I prefer full size radios but I do have big hands. weirdly I pinch fly quads and thumb fly fixed wings. stay safe Lee, honest review as always

Hey James. Radios are such a personal thing that their can't be one hard and fast rule. I like these for portability but still fly with the larger radios that I am used to as well. Happy flying!

Ordered a Zorro about a month back and can't wait to get it! Battery life is a bit of a concern and the thought of attaching an external 2 cell along with a crossfire/elrs module just seems clunky to me.

I was worried about that too, but after watching many reviews, the 2hrs of flight time at 250mw seems enough for me. And the quick charging and external battery options fix any battery issues for me.

@@JP-qq2kn This'll be my travel radio and use crossfire for some long range planes I travel with (mountain surfing :-) ) so it'll be interesting to see how much the extra power draw effects it. I wouldn't be against modding it. I'm buying it for it's small size/features more than anything.

How long til Radiomaster offers a MKII Zorro with 18650 batteries and AG01 gimbals?

thanks

To me the main point of any gamepad-style radios was the size of it, and zorro does not change anything - it is still a full-size radio when packed in a packpack. T-pro is a lot more portable, I believe. And also, my version has got a switch on the right, not a wheel. A rotating/vertical antenna would be more correct, but since I personnaly have this radio to fly quads close to me, it doesnt really matter.. And also there are 3d printed mods available so this is not a big deal. Yes, it feels a big..like a toy of cheap plastic, but it is cheap and it is plastic. And at some point, but it does its job. Thank you for your video, it is as useful as always!

iFlight Commando 8 has fan cooled 1000mw 915Mhz ELRS out of the box with 2x18650 included.

I use the 6 pos switches for things like screen shots, and resetting timers. The Zorro has a problem, in my eyes. Likely gonna get it anyway.

would the BANDIT module with the NANO bay attatchment screwed in fit with the jumper controller

The bays should be standard, so it should do... Best of luck

Hard dilemma mate! Thanks for the review! Im trying to choose my first ever radio controller and cause of the size im actually between those two (the models with internal ELRS) The only think that keeps me from buying the Zorro is just the battery thing, otherwise for wing/airplane seems better than the jumper. Can i charge Zorro while i'm using it? (via a fast charge powerbank for example?) - If so, battery problem solved!

There seem to be a major flaw with the Jumper T-Pro internal ExpressLRS Radio: the gimbal readouts begin to jitter on high power settings! The Speaker is effected too. There is no internal shielding around the RF-circuit. I documented the behavior here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/eHyem7OAhdWfoLA.html

@@badfourlifeI shielded the circuit with Copper tape - that didn't helped. But i found an other solution: I switched to a different antenna! The thin kabel of the original one doesn't seem to isolate enough. Now i got almost no jitter at full power.

I am a gamer (50yrs), always have been and I use playstation controllers all the time but I dont use these type for flying I prefer the conventional types, I am a pincher. But for a newcomer these are great value.

Do you like flying FPV in real life or do you prefer flying on the simulator? What sim do you prefer? I thoroughly tested Freerider, DRL and LiftOff…. Freerider is in my opinion simply the most realistic (and less computation hungry).

I just like to know how to load HTX to my radio I got radio mastertx16s but when I try it goes to different software not the one I try I see on the video that’s what I need to help with how to load the edgetx

as new to RC the outstanding characterist is the hype . For a week it seemed the only thing better than the T-pro was sliced bread then after i ordered one eveyrthing got quiet !!! I'm still waiting on the T-Pro and staring at the Zorro !!!! ...... Painless 360 is my source for honest reviews and knowledge.
