Looking forward to the discussion in the chat here... Make sure to check out the retest video here: ruclips.net/video/KwikXJiTr3Y/видео.html A few things to note: In the video I refer to mode 0 but I am not sure if the TBS Tango 2 supports mode 0, the manual only refers to 50hz (mode 1) or 150hz (mode 2) but I know other videos on the crossfire system refer to a mode 0 which is 4hz. Also, at 2:33 when the goggle image is lost, if the remote controller still had signal, it would have reconnected. We know that the remote controller 2 will disconnect for a few seconds when the goggle disconnects but the link would have returned if that was the case.
You can't fly both at the same time but I had them both setup and would just switch the SBUS on the Port channel to whichever UART. Did that more for testing purposes when making this video.
@@Mangorille OK, can you explain please, was both on the same uart and you just switched from CRF to SBUS in betaflight? Or u have a spare uart for additional receiver?
You can lock the tango2 into 150hz, it's really conservative when it switches down. People are saying the DJI disarms when loosing video despite having signal
I currently have the DJI controller 2, but don't like the form factor, I prefer full size gimbals. Will I get just as good range with ELRS? Sorry, a bit off topic, hopefully you can answer this question though!
You should get at least the same range but I'd expect better range with ELRS. I'm running ELRS right now myself. Check out the ELRS range hall of fame. www.expresslrs.org/info/long-range/#
The more videos I make and testing I do, the more I realize the short comings of the FPV Controller 2. I love the easy of installation and the all-in-one package of the DJI system but too many compromises with the FPV Controller 2. This coming from a guy who used the black DJI remote with the prior system for 3 years without ever thinking of going a different direction.
@@Mangorille Just turning off low power mode still doesn't get it to full power, as Naom says, the O3 needs to be armed. Please go watch Mads Tech videos on the O3.
I can’t prove it but it seems like there’s a bug in the implementation of the 2.4ghz band on the DJI RC2 in that it doesn’t switch fast enough from piggybacking on the 5.8ghz video link to using 2.4ghz standalone. I have hopes that this behavior will be improved in an update
Hey thanks for testing and sharing this! Please note that the DJI Controller behaves differently to others. When you assumed it came back online because of the position, it was actually a timer and not a change in a position that brought it back up. You could see it still had 3 bars by that time but DJI firmware has a logic in it that drops the RC connection when the video drops, so that the fail safe mechanism could kick in automatically. It then re-establishes connection, so you could take control of the drone if you need to. Ian describes it here - ruclips.net/video/teR4S9WxvEU/видео.html
I am familiar with that behavior but that is supposed to happen within a second or two. I waited a good 20-30 seconds and the controller did not reconnect. I am learning that you cannot rely on the RC link displayed in the goggles.
@@q8qatami wow that's crazy! they must have fixed whatever it was because we use the remote controller 2 for all our drones and have never had a fail safe or a single problem. We've used it with the geprc mark5, Iflight nazgul evo f5 and f6, axis flying manta 3.6 and the oddityRC XI35 pro.
I returned mine as I lost confidence in it. I understand that they improved some of the behaviour through a firmware update since this video was made but I personally went ELRS on my Tango 2 and never looked back.

Tango 2 with CRSF and Tracer with the Module Bay is the best setup! I freaking love TBS!
I've got a module bay coming for the Tango. :)
Hi! How did you get 2 remotes connected at the same time ? So you could fly both? 😮

@@Mangorille OK, can you explain please, was both on the same uart and you just switched from CRF to SBUS in betaflight? Or u have a spare uart for additional receiver?
@@EstateFPVTravel You need to have them on a different UART.

Yes you can, but figured I’d let it manage that in case I venture too far out.

I have both remotes also, still havent decided which to go with, I have crossfire on a couple long range 4" drones, seems to be ok.

You have to arm to get full power of the DJI O3
You can turn off the low power mode in the options, which causes it to go to 50 mbps and start to get super hot.
@@Mangorille Just turning off low power mode still doesn't get it to full power, as Naom says, the O3 needs to be armed. Please go watch Mads Tech videos on the O3.
@@KetaFPV That is very deceiving! Let me retest.
Yes. You have to arm. The o3 is differ..
Amazing video…. Could you do another video with just walking away with the DJI remote and not the goggles?

100% You are bang on, wait till you see the retest of this video that is being uploaded now.

So What's ur take?
I'd suggest sticking with a proven control link until this is figured out, too many weird things happening with the controller 2
My DJI Controller failsafed twice in one week. 50 feet away from me. I dont think I will ever go back to it.
Agree, once you lose trust in the system no point running it anymore. I've been quite happy with my crossfire and elrs Tango 2.
3 times within 2 months for me gonna switch to tbs as well

GRAN VIDEO!! DJI CONTROL 2, ¿Como se configura en Betaflight?
Check out this video here: ruclips.net/video/tYomxAbQ7Vs/видео.html
@@Mangorille Thanks a lot!!
Ok so throw away your DJI controller 2? Lol. Just playing. Thx buddy. Cross fire seems better in a number of ways.. thx for your work...
