136,268.89 Dongs (Vietnam) IMPORTANT solder things! solder has an area of temperature where is called plastic, (USE 63/37!)not solid not liquid... 50/50 solder is highest melt point 60 40 is just under that BOTH WITH ABOUT 15-25+degrees of plastic on between solid and melt point! 63 37 is about 25 degrees lower melt temp and only has 1 DEGREE of plastic area! Which means it will melt quick and then harden quick! Soldering you want highest heat you can put out to heat it and get out! Also for in the field, a regular little butane torch can have a tip attached for cheap cheap cheap for field soldering or anywhere soldering without needing any electricity and butane irons will heat up damn fast too!
@@titouanbizieux1506 there's probably a good range that would work but i know for a fact this would work reliably and is sold as a "ts100 charger" Input Voltage:AC 100-240V Max. Input Current:1.5A Output Voltage:DC 19V Output Current:2.1A Output Power:40W... AND I dunno why it doesn't say it but 50-60hz. BTW AEOYU solder station is only 30$ works GREAT. One of the best I've used. Your better off with a butane for field solder iron. Also butane solder irons can be used as heat gun and other things.
I love working with electronics but we have a very old soldering iron that takes almost 20 minutes just to heat up and I've been looking to get a new one and this is probably a perfect chance and awesome videos love them watched almost every single one.
TS100 has an indestructible tip. I have NOT been able to hurt mine at all, and I use it almost daily (HOURS a day during the Christmas season for customers) and it's still in brand new condition. Love this thing! ♥ Great video again, Stu!
Hay Stew nice seeing you doing a build again. But 63/37 works on less heat and resin to give a cleaner joints and less cold solder joints. Last cleaning the tip transfers heat better.
Rosin resin, close enough... You forgot the 1 degree of plastic for 63 37 vs the 20ish plus of 60 40 and 50 50... Really helps for a quick in and out, less holding things in place required 😉
Perfect timing. Just started my first build and i need a haircut. Haven't soldered in over 30 years since leaving the Navy. Damn the pads are tiny. Thanks for the refresher course :-)
That is one lightweight easy to use little powerhorse. I can buy it in the Netherlands for 47,33€ euro. Love to try soldering with this iron some day. In the field even would save many broken flight days.
It's 2,123 Peso in the Philippines. I like the TS100 soldering iron cause it heats easily and I really love the flexibility of this because you can use it with everything. Whether your repairing in the field or building your quad.
I like most at this soldering iron that is possible to set different temperatures and also shows the temperature. It cost 35,06€ for ordering from Slovenia. Great video that you put all possible ways of soldering, that are now just in one video. (Y) Must bookmark for everyone. Also great that you done this now, cos soon I will make my first build. I see that you solder at high temperature, I will try this now, cos I had sometimes in past troubles with making good joints. While on crocodile clamps I put a heat shrink that not damage wires, boards... Clamps which I have are quite strong, crocodile teeth are visible everywhere if I not insert on heat shrink. This could be a good tip how using crocodiles. Great video, bookmarked, good luck to all. (Y)
Yay one more soldering tutorial for youtube, because there aren't enough of these already. Also lead free solder is actually good since it makes stronger joints that wont get ripped out with every crash or simple snags. you know because lead is pretty soft and tin+silver isn't.
Remote Controlled Panda lead free solder may be slightly stronger but makes worse joints meaning they will come off easier rather than some nice lead solder that makes nice joints. also low quality solder will all feel the same lead or not
Nice little portable soldering iron; $39.99 US. I found several other versions on Amazon that were much more expensive. Between this video (which included much more detail) and your "How to build a Pro FPV Racing DRONE for ONLY $99" vid, I feel much more comfortable about grabbing an iron and soldering some stuff! Thank you!
The TS100 soldering iron looks great seems to be able work for ever also great that it’s portable and is 2627.78 in Russian Ruble I’ve even got the same stand with the gator clips
The soldering iron is 35.33 euros. I really find the soldering iron cool because of the way you can just use a lipo battery on it incase your outdoors and need a quick repair. Love ur videos and I find them super helpful.
It's €35.16 for us Italians 🇮🇹 Seems like a great soldering iron, and since it's been so pupilar for a couple of years it should be great. Being a beginner, I'm still kinda scared of messing up while using a soldering iron, but at the same time it's very useful to use. Once again, great content, Stu!
I've never had a field soldering iron. It would be nice to have one though. The soldering iron I use is from 1989 while I was in college. Yes, I am so old I can remember when dirt was invented; it was a cool toy. But when sticks and rocks came out... Oh boy did we have fun. As for currency rates, they change constantly. By the time I put one on here it would change again.
I've been wanting a TS100 for over a year now. That price is amazing! What tip(s) do you need for builds? Can you do it all with the tip it comes with, or is it worth grabbing a couple more?
I like the TS 100 soldering iron and having been looking at getting on for a while now. I have had to many flying sessions cut short due to a busted wire. It currently lists for $53.99 US from Bangood while on sale
€ 35.06 right now for me in the Netherlands. Sounds like a great solution in the field, at home I'm using a Weller soldering station, which works just fine for me. I do find myself broken in the field sometimes and repair is done at home, this would be a fine addition to the field kit.
Its 262,04 Kunas in Croatia. I am just looking for a new soldering iron since my old one broke down. I am new to this and want to make my first build, so preparing and getting all the tools for it... so that this video comes also in a right moment
RUR 2,662 currently. Pretty good price but do not forget power supply, cable and stand. If ordered from Banggod it will double the price of soldering iron. Still worth it, really good tool.
Thank you so much for making this video! :D there isn't enough how to soldering videos on RUclips. I have a cheap soldering iron right now but plan on getting the TS100 soon as all the reviews on it are extremely positive. It goes for about €44.04 in Germany
I agree...You can probably do a better job than what you can buy...That's how I began to enjoy the hobby inside the hobby of building..i couldn't find what I wanted..
I think it's a nice solder station and what's most important to me - it's small and compact (my room is just too small to keep all those tools!) I'd love to try this. Right now it's for 152 PLN which is currency of Poland
Excellent Stu !! Hey with the new firmware you can go up to 450 C, and it has many more features. Good on you for doing this, may not have been the most fun, but many out there needed it.
Hey, appreciate the video. Question. I have viewed many videos, and a lot are always mentioning. Touch and go is when soldering. Isn't the idea to get the surface just hot enough where the soldering transfers and adheres to the surface? I had a major headache with the battery terminals. I guess I was scared that I might burn something. The final time, I laid the soldering iron on the surface until the soldering transferred and adhered. All good.
$10,000 snow flakes here in Alaska gets you close but the shipping is the real story, polar bears keep eating the penguin delivery force 😂 cheers 🍻 really appreciate the knowledge!
I think the TS100 is great because it is very compact and portable. Also the mini screen on it looks like it would be very helpful. I really need a new iron. The price for Canadians is $53.41 Canadian Dollars.
Would it be better to have the temp a little lower for the first time soldering? So we can linger there longer and not have to worry about overheating things?
I am now sold on the ts100. But it’s $54.99 usd here from RDQ. I have a weller currently but I really want one of those ts100s. Don’t know if I can pass that off with the wife ha. I’m definitely terrible at soldering but this vid may have identified some of my probs. Thanks!!!
Some additional tips: Use appropriate diameter chisel tips, and don't really bother with conical tips unless you're doing super tiny joints on a micro or something. Also, a good wire stripper is inexpensive and way, way better than stripping wires using your fingernail or a wire cutter. Get solder in multiple diameters; get a sub-millimeter diameter for smaller joints and a millimeter or higher diameter for larger joints. Some other great tools to buy are a solder sucker and some solder wick (for desoldering and cleaning up bad joints, which you are likely going to make), and a brass wool tip cleaner. Take good care of your equipment, and it will take good care of you. Lastly, Diatone, Pyrodrone, and others make soldering practice boards that you can get for dirt cheap (Diatone's is a couple bucks USD, and Pyrodrone is $0.99 USD), so that you don't risk your actual components. Not knowing how to solder held me back in my various hobbies for a long time. But I finally learned how, and it was way easier than I thought it would be. So get to it, everybody!
Great video, getting into FPV with my wife and we are both learning to solder and get quads in the sky soon! The TS 100 is 69$ USD atm so its not to much.
Thank you for these videos Stu, you actually tought me how to solder with your 99$ Builds and that saved me a lot of troubles. BTW you are ruining me with your happy australian accent! LYLT
I've been needing a new soldering iron for a while, I was thinking of getting a really expensive 100 dollar set up, but I don't really need to and the TS100 can go "in the field" so I might just get that!
Hey Stu, love the TS100 so handy that it can be hooked up to a Lipo and taken anywhere. Heats up super fast too. At the moment on bangers you can pick it up for 567867.13 Indonesian Rupiah (Currency used in Bali)
Looking fresh with that haircut!! Now I know where to send people when they ask me questions about soldering, I'll just tell them to come here and watch my Uncle Bob. 🤟 Lol
Wish I had the TS100 and and blu tack when I built my first quad, my XT60 connector was a molten mess of plastic when I was done with it. I also had no idea that caps had poles and blew mine up when adding my LiPo. This video would have been so helpful a few months ago! PS... the TS100 is ZAR530 in South Africa!
I am new here. Just wondering why you put a capacitor on the XT60 connector? I am building a F550 hex, and not sure what to do with the VBAT port on my FC. What does the capacitor do, and how do I know which one to buy? Any help appreciated! Thanks, Brian
Hey Stu you really should mention the Ralim firmware for the ts100. Turns it into an even better tool. Best feature is a boost mode where you can push it up to 450C by hold a button for doing your big joints and releasing the button drops it back to 300 or whatwver youve set it to. Thats just one of a ton of new features
My 2 cents regarding XT60 soldering: Original XT60 by Amass are in my experience easier to solder to. With cheap XT60 I had the plastic get soft and then the pins moved making the connector ready for the trash. That never happened with more expensive Amass XT60 connectors.
hey Stu ive wanted a ts 100 for ages but cant afford it looks like a epic device. the ts100 in cuban convertable pesos is 39.75 cuc . maybe look at linking some of the practice kits from bangood.
I ordered one for my classroom for $69.99 US. Came with a power brick and a Kitchen sponge so the wife can still do the dishes. My students like it, works well and fits smaller hands. I would love to have one for myself and not "borrow" the schools when I need one.
I didn't need the tutorial, I have done lots of soldering but it was good to watch anyway.... especially the Grumpy Egg! That soldering iron looks pretty cool, what sort of power consumption does it have? Obviously it will vary with the temperature setting, but on average what would say with say 1500mAH battery? I currently use a butane soldering iron, but the TS100 might be a good alternative. One other tip I would like to add is always clean the soldering iron tip when you're finished (while it's hot of course) and this will stop the flux eating into the soldering iron tip as much, making them last longer. Oh yeah, I'm in Australia too so it's the same as for you. $55.96 from "Bangers" (Banggood)
That was a very excellent and simplistic way to teach that mate! Aces, prrof that anyone one can do it. Thats a simple compact moble iron thats easly packable. Never need to leave the field to make repairs. To thumbs up. So the price would be 545.16 Swazi lilangeni in the country of Eswatini. Its located in soth Eastern Africa. I love the videos keep them coming.

Looks like an sp racing f3 flight controller
UAVfutures new updated 99 dollar quad v3
I think the title should be changed to learn to solder in 20 mins
Anyone else like to twist the little bit of exposed wire tight before tinning?
Yes, I always do this because it really helps make sure you son't get any stray wires.
yes i always to that

Always have always will 👌
Yes and always FLUX

Best tip for me was your use of Blue Tac - got some in my drawer and hardly used it. Looks much easier than helping hands!
Nice "How To" instruction. I need to solder wires to Flexible LED Strips and your video got me up and running
Perfect timing. Just started my first build and i need a haircut. Haven't soldered in over 30 years since leaving the Navy. Damn the pads are tiny. Thanks for the refresher course :-)
Like the "old times" UAV videos. Great!
That is one lightweight easy to use little powerhorse. I can buy it in the Netherlands for 47,33€ euro. Love to try soldering with this iron some day. In the field even would save many broken flight days.

I think the ts100 is a great bound in the world of electronics, making soldering easier, quicker and better. It is £31.04 in the UK.
I use a gas solder ts100 looks like easy to use I will get me one. As always great job love you guys keep making these videos me need them.
Never soldered a single thing in my life. Now I see I have F* all to worry about... many thanks Stu 👍👍👍

The TS100 is really great. I use mine for a few weeks and will never give it away. If I win, I will give it to a FPV pilot who need one. :)
Nice skills Stu. I live my hako but I'll definitely be getting a ts100 for my field bag.
I think the TS100 is great because it is very compact and portable. Also the mini screen on it looks like it would be very helpful. I really need a new iron. The price for Canadians is $53.41 Canadian Dollars.
top notch edutainment content! awesome for beginners!
It be 143 shmekelz in Israel, could I get a new soldering iron? Mine is like 12 years old back from elementary school electronics lesso
Thanks Stu! You rock buddy
Well for the bench, there is nothing better than weller soldering irons! But in the field, a TS100 would be awesome! costs about 40 CHF -> switzerland
Hahah weller isnt even in the top 5 my man
Would it be better to have the temp a little lower for the first time soldering? So we can linger there longer and not have to worry about overheating things?
I have put off purchasing one of these for a long time but at $39.99 USD, I may have to get one coming. Love the portability.

I love the 30s heat up time on the iron. US dollars is usually $40 but another $10 for power supply
Pretty much the standard in portable soldering irons for the FPV community. They heat up fast and are not to expensive at $56.99 USD
Thank you for the lessons.
I would like to test the TS 100 ! The specs are very interesting and i like the form factor of it .
I have an old big classic Solder Iron, this looks so more nimble to use.
I would have never thought to hook it to a lipo that’s awesome. it’s 542.66 in Lesotho Loti.
I've been needing a new soldering iron for a while, I was thinking of getting a really expensive 100 dollar set up, but I don't really need to and the TS100 can go "in the field" so I might just get that!
it is also 40 US dollars
Hey Stu, love the TS100 so handy that it can be hooked up to a Lipo and taken anywhere. Heats up super fast too.
At the moment on bangers you can pick it up for 567867.13 Indonesian Rupiah (Currency used in Bali)
Looking fresh with that haircut!! Now I know where to send people when they ask me questions about soldering, I'll just tell them to come here and watch my Uncle Bob. 🤟 Lol
In Thailand, the TS100 is over 1700 baht. Saw them at Panthip plaza, but that is about a year ago...
The TS100 looks like a great Iron for field repairs, and at a $39.99 price point should be a very reasonable option.
Wish I had the TS100 and and blu tack when I built my first quad, my XT60 connector was a molten mess of plastic when I was done with it. I also had no idea that caps had poles and blew mine up when adding my LiPo.
This video would have been so helpful a few months ago!
PS... the TS100 is ZAR530 in South Africa!

It is currently 368SEK with the current 42% off on bangers.
I think it's a great soldering iron, it's even better with the ralim firmware.

It is an awesome iron for the field. $55 in the USA, which is 1038 pesos in Mexico.
BTW, 63/37 leaded is better.
This is a great video thanks for throwing it in amongst your reviews!
Awesome video. Thanks man
Looks like a great soldering iron
I have been wanting one of them soldering iron.
TS100 looks great. Like the portability. Cost of the iron in Malaysian currency is 162.92 ringgits.
Are you going to review the the parm motors?
My 2 cents regarding XT60 soldering:
Original XT60 by Amass are in my experience easier to solder to. With cheap XT60 I had the plastic get soft and then the pins moved making the connector ready for the trash. That never happened with more expensive Amass XT60 connectors.

I ordered one for my classroom for $69.99 US. Came with a power brick and a Kitchen sponge so the wife can still do the dishes. My students like it, works well and fits smaller hands. I would love to have one for myself and not "borrow" the schools when I need one.
Gotta' say! Great tips and smooth soldering! Shiny lead bubbles ;)
Thanks for the great videos you have truly helped me so much
Thanks for the hot video Stu!
Nice video yes the ts100 looks good to use. I hope to have one in my kit one day. I'm in Australia Qld
THANKS Stew. love the tutorial.
TS100 looks great, the price in Poland (somewhere in Europe :) ) is 160 pln
What type of soldering wire is recommended?
What's your normal (non-field) soldering iron?
I need to get a field solder... all mine are with the Aussie power plugs. It's 70 Aussie dollars
Awesome Video Stew
I didn't need the tutorial, I have done lots of soldering but it was good to watch anyway.... especially the Grumpy Egg! That soldering iron looks pretty cool, what sort of power consumption does it have? Obviously it will vary with the temperature setting, but on average what would say with say 1500mAH battery? I currently use a butane soldering iron, but the TS100 might be a good alternative. One other tip I would like to add is always clean the soldering iron tip when you're finished (while it's hot of course) and this will stop the flux eating into the soldering iron tip as much, making them last longer.
Oh yeah, I'm in Australia too so it's the same as for you. $55.96 from "Bangers" (Banggood)
That was a very excellent and simplistic way to teach that mate! Aces, prrof that anyone one can do it.
Thats a simple compact moble iron thats easly packable. Never need to leave the field to make repairs. To thumbs up.
So the price would be 545.16 Swazi lilangeni in the country of Eswatini. Its located in soth Eastern Africa.
I love the videos keep them coming.
Finally you got parmesan approved great stuff stew you have made it at last... haha
