Thank you for showing the X-Lite setup. It really helped me get my radio and quad going. You do go a bit fast so I'm not sure what each step does but now I can play. As for the difference in range, I am not surprised the internal antenna is not as strong as an external antenna since there is less RF interaction with your hands with the external antenna. Cheers
From 3:50 to 5:12 when you set up the inputs, can someone please explain how they are associated with the arm, mode, beeper, and flip commands? I'm following along with my X-Lite Pro and I can't set the beeper. What exactly links your Input 7 to the beeper command? It is clear how the switch is associated with the input, but it is not clear how the input is associated with the command.
You were just using the internal antenna, Perhaps your range will increase with the external antenna. Thank you Mark for the amazing setup and binding video, I am getting closer to having my X lite set up also. I will not fly until it is 100% set up.
Probably will get better range with the external antenna I would think? Thanks for the great review! I bought a JumperT8SG V2 that I was going to use. Upgrading from the FlySky FS-i6,. But the one Banggood sent me will not bind with anything. I tried several quads on it and none would bind! Fighting with them now for refund. So anyways, I got this FrSky X lite coming from R.D.Q. . I think you can put different modules on it, even crossfire. I think I`m going to start paying a bit more and buy from USA dealers from now on. Banggood and Gearbest has sent me defective products to often! And they make it a nightmare to try to return anything! So Thank you for the awesome review!
I must have gotten a faulty transmitter. This doesn’t work on any of my models. Very strange. I’ve never had a problem with binding before with spectrum.
How do I get a correct rssi reading on my osd with the rxsr and gt200? My transmitter shows full signal, the osd shows 9... 🤔 I don’t have turtle mode on ch8, I’m using that for rssi, and aux4 in beta flight. Not sure what to do from here.

Wondering if the internal antenna is horizontal, such that the tip of it is pointed towards the far end of your test. If so, that may be the reason for the reduced range. Would be curious to see it with an external antenna in a more vertical orientation. Also, I didn't see a dummy load on the external antenna port. Is this because you have to turn it on in the software? If so, do you get diversity antennas? Or does the internal one shut off?
That was actually pretty good using internal antennas however, the real test will be using the external one as I don't think it's a fair comparison with the X9D without same external. Initial test great though, thanks for doing all this!
hi, im trying to set up flight mode with the switch as you, however in betaflight its only seeing 2 ranges - 1500 and 2011, when the switch is in the bottom position betaflight says 1500, when its in the middle position betaflight also says 1500, when its in the up position betaflight says 2011, so i cant get it to read say 900, or 1000 to set up the bottom position, help if you can thx!
That could be antenna direction. Top and bottom is the place with worst signal. Your x9d antenna is raised up so directly above You is the worst signal. X-lite internal antenna goes from left to right, that’s where the signal is bad. if you turn your x- lite sideways with the sticks/gimbals pointing to the left then it is compareable (and awkward)
I wouldn't feel comfortable flying with such a weak signal. Sure hope an external antenna helps. I notice that I don't have this issue at all when using the internal antennas of the X10s, but that's not a fair comparison at all. Great video series, Mark. P.S. - please don't forget about the wireless training feature video... I'm really looking forward to that one!
Thank you for the comparison in range and i really like the series you are producing. I have two questions: 1. What do think how big the range of the x-Lite with the antenna of the x9d would be? 2. More of a subjective question: I’m currently using a Graupner setup for my radio, but it’s very expensive and too large for my drones, that’s why i want to switch to frsky, but now i don’t know if i want the x-lite or the x9d. I use my thumbs for the gimbals and fly 5 inch quads on mid range (maybe 300 meters). I want a good and portable radio, but i don’t know which i should use. Can you give me an advice? best regards Creatorone ^^
Such a shame, there is plenty of space to the right of the Tx voltage, below the model name. It just doesn't seem like they are allowing editing that main screen. I did see that on the X9D the option is for editing the top bar and this does not have a top bar. Wish it was like the betaflight OSD configuration and one could choose where to put stuff. Thanks for the reply!
Ok my first problem is in setup I only have 12 pages and you have 13 , and page 2 is not the same as yours, I thought that I fallowed Josh Bardwell way to set it up. ?
Just got my x lite and am slightly confused moving from an x9d+ I usually bind all my rx in d8 mode since it's lower latency. On the x lite though I notice that when I select d8 it removes the rx number option and failsafe from the menu. I then noticed that when in d16 mode and hitting bind it gives you the 4 options of which channels and telemetry on or off. Is using d16 but then selecting to use channels 1-8 the same as d8 mode?
D16 with setting it to channels 1-8 is actually what you were doing before from the sound of it. That new menu is confusing. I should do a video on it. Choose 1-8 and telemetry or not depending on your RX. Telemetry for everything except the XMs.
DroneRacer101 how I would I know for sure though because there's a pretty big difference in the latency between 16 and 8. What's the actual difference in d8 mode compared to d16 with only 8 channels? Wonder why the more expensive x9d+ doesn't have the 4 options when binding in d16 mode like the xlite does
Don 124 I never got an answer. I ended up entering it all manually. For turtle mode I had to make a momentary switch out of the left D-pad. It was pretty easy.
Sorry. I’ve not tried. You probably could could copy them to and sd card. But, all the switches would probably be wrong so you would likely have to go fix them anyway.
Sure. A bunch of different ways. :-) 5 Ways to Setup RSSI in your OSD, Analog, TX Telemetry, Receiver Channel, FPort, SBUS Packet Loss ruclips.net/video/eMIExxWUlH4/видео.html
What length are your antennas on the quad and in the Xlite? I seen a video talking about the xsr length being to short but after making them 32mm they get a little better range.
First yeah... it has been awhile haha 😂 hehe GNB batteires, i am a fan of them too. aw man, i wanted to buy this, because it have better range then my IRX-IR8m... or so i thought....:( (seems about the same)
Hmmm. No lines for centering sticks. Even my very cheap FlySky i6 have them. Cmon FrSky this should be done allready in first version. This is allready third minus which I saw at this X-Lite session. It looks this model is pushed to be as soon as possible produced to the market.
sigh, tried to follow this setup, you took like a minute on how to write the model name, then went to set modes and you were like pushing buttons so fast i had to go back several times to se what you were pressing. Edit: nah, gave up, omfg.
Im sorry I didn't like the video. new model setup is the topic, you keep beating around the bush instead of explaining what some searching "setup model on xlite" is looking for.

Can you compare with external antenna ?
The most awaited video of the series in my humble opinion hahaha
Excellent video just what i needed to get my drone set up. All the best.
From 3:50 to 5:12 when you set up the inputs, can someone please explain how they are associated with the arm, mode, beeper, and flip commands?

Can explain what you're doing on the mixer page. You in & exit, in & exit, in & exit a few times...what exactly is happening there?
brand new drone flyer here and just got the XLite and batteries are charging now. Is this the video I want to start with?
I'm thinking if you used an external antenna on the XLite youd end up the same as the 9d.
Very interesting. The x.-lite has +- the same rssi as the X9D. And that without the external antenna.. great!
Probably will get better range with the external antenna I would think? Thanks for the great review! I bought a JumperT8SG V2 that I was going to use. Upgrading from the FlySky FS-i6,.

So glad you are doing these videos, thanks
Looks awesome, Mark. And if the range is a problem, you can always use an external antenna. 😊
You sound just like the guy who does bright sun films...anyhow great info.
Thank you for the video, its exactly what I needed to get up and running.
I must have gotten a faulty transmitter. This doesn’t work on any of my models. Very strange. I’ve never had a problem with binding before with spectrum.
perhaps the external aerial could help. you may have had misalignment causing low rssi.
i have watched the bind part 50 times and cannot figure it out and get past that point. i have an x-lite pro updated to newest firmware.
Is there a reason that you didn't test the external antenna???
superb series of vids, watching all of them waiting on my xlite. test an external diamond antenna on the xlite and see if that makes any diff
NEXT RANGE TEST I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A COMPARISON WITH THE EXTERNAL ANT INSTALLED ALSO PLEASE . I USE CAPS - EYE TROUBLE
i would like to see how much range if it using the external antenna.. compare to the X9D.. :)
How do I get a correct rssi reading on my osd with the rxsr and gt200? My transmitter shows full signal, the osd shows 9... 🤔 I don’t have turtle mode on ch8, I’m using that for rssi, and aux4 in beta flight. Not sure what to do from here.

Put external on like the xd9 has
Hello, i'm suppose"d to be in mode 2 on radio Xlite but when i use throttle on radio it make goes up the Roll on Betaflight ! How it is please

DroneRacer101 Okay, thank you.
What receiver do you use?
Ciao ho fatto bind con ricevente x plus con x lite, funziona ma non mi dà le tacche del segnale!
Thank you for the comparison in range and i really like the series you are producing.

Creatorone ^^
nice videos, very cool. how are the gimbals and feel. do they feel like the x9d se? do find it easier to control?
Range would be my first concern, good luck. Hope its sufficient.
"Sufficient" is going to be different for everyone. For some this will be more than enough. For others it won't even be close.
Can you get the quad battery voltage to show on the main screen on the X-Lite? I've been looking for how to do it and can't find that option.
Unfortunately not. It is the same resolution as the QX7. You need an X9D for that.
Such a shame, there is plenty of space to the right of the Tx voltage, below the model name. It just doesn't seem like they are allowing editing that main screen. I did see that on the X9D the option is for editing the top bar and this does not have a top bar. Wish it was like the betaflight OSD configuration and one could choose where to put stuff.

He removes the helicopter setting so that page is not on the radio. Just skip that page.
can I use xd90 and the new x-lite after I bind my new x-lite ?
I’m not 100% sure, what you mean. But you can only bind a receiver to one radio at a time.

The X9D is the same now if you update OpenTX on it.
What RX are you using? As far as I know they are all d8 or D16. Not both.
DroneRacer101 I'm using rxsr and xsr
can i bind this with a turnigy iA6C receicer? im a noob
Can you transfer models and settings from the DX9?
I'd like to know this too

D8 mode, is it missing from your x lite transmitter like it is my x lite transmitter?
No. I just checked. Under internal RF on Mode click and it is one to the right of D16, if you are running FCC firmware. Where are you located?
Thanks for the help finally got the D8 working. Can you make an in-depth setup video for D8 models?
It’s pretty much the same. Just choose D8 on the first page. And you don’t have to select the failsafe mode.
Can you set up the rssi? Keep up the great work!

Or Not....✌️out.
I am not sure. I will double check that. I was just about to go do another test.
