Hey FliteTest I'm a 10 year old loyal subscriber, and I designed a twin engine aircraft with the SAFE flight envelope. Can I email you the design and maybe you could do a video reviewing it? Thanks guys btw your my favourite UA-cam channel :)
I used the "DSMX QUAD RACE SERIAL RECEIVER WITH DIVERSITY" with my build, love it to death, I put one antenna out the front hole, and one out he back hole. I will caution everyone to use double side tape to stick it into place, I didn't at first cause it seemed like such a tight fit but during a crash it shifted forward hard enough to break the speaker off for the model locator, i was able to solder it back into place no big deal but still something to watch out for.
Hey guys, I've been flying mine with a Session 5 and I lose maybe 45 seconds to a minute of flight time. The 150 doesn't seem to care that the Session is on it's back. I simply sandwich the stock GoPro mount under the battery strap. I did have to use a slightly longer strap, a Rotor Riot strap. I'm flying with Pulse 860mah 4S 75C packs. My longest flights have been more than 6 minutes just cruising around and about 4 minutes pushing my flight abilities. Rotor On!
+SpikeJonesTheCr0oked Uh kinda, the motors are underpowered (just like the original Vortex Pro) and it doesn't come with a black box stock. They'll probably do the same thing they did with the Pro and release an upgraded version a few months after release. The Pro is still a better platform unless you plan to exclusively fly in small spaces and don't want to capture any HD footage.
I think at the very minimum I would rotate that receiver 90 degrees. If you tumble that quad there is a VERY high chance them pins are going thru the battery if the battery moves at all. I am good with an Iron so I would probably de-pin that, remove the case, heat shrink it and get it on the inside. I would also put a zip tie and heat shrink them antenna ends. Props may not get them but the ground will grind em up fast if they don't end up breaking from bending and being re straightened repeatedly.
Don't mean to be the old fogey of the herd but man fire skeers me.. Hate to see it happen to someone if it can be avoided with a little warning. Great job guys as always.
Some peeps might need to setup aux1 on there Taranis. Which they didn't show I don't think. Also you didn't show setting up fs. The drivers for the 150 are really hard to find and the USB drivers off beta flight don't work for the vortex 150. It would be nice if you went thru the FW update/betaflight hex update for everyone. It took me hours to get the correct drivers from Immersionrc. Immersionrc are adamant you update the vortex150 straight away. It's a shame they don't even put a high quality cable in the box. Cool video :-)
Great video. would you please post another one showing how to set up using Graupner transmitters? specifically MZ12/GR18. I've seen it work in UA-cam videos, but no rundown HOW they got these to work with the V150.
Hey TJ, I'm starting to become interested in drones, and ones that are for the enjoyment of flying, not filming. I'm somewhat interested in race drones, but I'm not planning to do any drone racing. Do you think I should eventually get an expensive, high quality racing drone, even if I don't go racing? I'm willing to do FPV all the way. I find helicopters fun, but I'm not sure if I should get a race drone if I'm not going to race. Thanks for any response!
How would you guys recommend this for a VERY new flyer. I've only ever piloted £30 cheap drones, and I have some money set aside for buying an FPV drone. Also what budget FPV goggles would you guys recommend? :D
Hey there! We normally recommend something like a tiny whoop for your first DIY build experience or something of that nature. As far as this quad goes, it can be used as a beginner quad, or an intermediate quad depending on how it is set up! You could use a 3s battery as well as self leveling so that you get the best experience flying WHILE you learn. It can also do horizon or full acro mode while on 4s to have a more intermediate to expert flying experience! This is a great quad for ALL pilots so, you could def get one and learn and have a great experience! As far as the goggles, we like the KYLIN goggles which are $99.00. For a first set they are great! Blessings friend and hope this helps! S.O.
How would I charge the "G5 70CMAX 4S 850MAH 4.2V-MAX LIPO" battery? I have only ever used drones with USB-charger-type batteries, so seeing a big, bulky battery like this one was confusing. Thanks!
So the Spectrum satellite reciver will work as a standalone reciver? Does it have the same "bind ID" as the main reciver or can you have both bound to different models by themselfs?
Hey guys I have two challenge ideas for you - One - line up 10 or more bottles of coke or something like that and tie a weight to the bottom of a plane and see if you can break all of the bottles using the stone as a wrecking ball and see who can break more bottles Two - have a competition of who can tow the most gliders behind a plane in a sort of "glider conga". You could also try to fly your glider train through a ring
Wonder why he couldn't use the newer FrSky XM & XM+ teeny tiny recievers. They are smaller than a penny! I have been using those D4RII and X4R recievers for years but these new tiny ones seem like a better option and like 1 gram of weight! :) I guess the XSR is a lil smaller but its still double the size of a XM and XM+
NEED SOME HELP ,i got into the OSD menu and go to cam settings ,,I select YES and i get no settings ,i see nothing ,,Updated to BF 3.1.5 and still can not get into the settings for the camera ,,What am i missing ? Please help
Can you guys show us how to design an airplane? I want to build a fast flying wing for getting into fpv racing myself, but I don't know how to take care of center of gravity and center of drag (do I need uplift in the wings?). Center of thrust should be easy ;-P.
I have an issue with my vtx I think: When i try to find a video channel on my goggles that will provide a clear picture, there is nothing but static. I have tried pressing the button on the side of the vortex 150 to cycle through the video channels, however nothing has worked that will make the video signal transmit to my fatshark teleporter v4 goggles. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
it should default to fatshark channel 1unless you changed it to another band accidently, did you power it up with the antenna removed cause that would have fried your vtx. there is away to reset the whole thing to factory one way is to use the vortex configurator app, the other is to use the button on the left side its in the manual on immersionrc's web site i would contact them to help resetting it sucks
you have to supply the receiver yourself unless you get the blade version it comes with it already installed, he had to change the harness to one that was compatible with his receiver the quad comes with several different cables for different rx's. the receiver is what your transmitter talks to and in this case it sends the data to the flight controller via the cable and the flight controller does what needs to be done, obviously its a lot more complicated than that but that's the main idea.
the blade comes with a spectrum rx installed and the immersionrc does not come with the rx you install one of your choice, blade is green the other is red mine is Flite test one and it's black
Hey can you make review of the flyzone calypso? (big version) i want to know what do you think about this plane, (i know you have film about calypso micro) i regard whole of your team! PS sorry for my grammar im from Poland...,😂
hola muchachos quisiera saber si hustedes saben la programacion del pi dela controladora de vuelo kk2.15 mini tengo un quacopter f450 motor 2212 1000kv bateria 11.1 3000 mh gracias por su ayuda no me pierdo sus videos
omg why do i have to go through all this, just to get a 3d printer i've waited 3 mounts now and stilll nothing someone help AND i need to stay under 500$$ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now that is a really nice and easy setup. Good job, ImmersionRC (and of course TJ explaining how it's done).
Ha Great job ALL AROUND ha "Love it when a plan comes together!"
S.O.
Whats up BALU! ;)
Thanks TJ, you always do a great job explaining how to do something, your always crystal clear.
He is pretty awesome!! WE are blessed to have him on the TEAM!
Thanks for watching Richard!
S.O.
That tone when finished the setup sounded like the Mario Brothers tune.
I really liked this video as it is very easy to follow ..
This came out right when I needed it. No joke i was looking up how to do this today
Toad's Gaming and Tech Same
Awesome guys, Glad we could help out!
Blessings,

YAY!!! TJ and sticky back tape is like an American Blue Peter lol
07:31 hahaha i want that drone just because it makes that sound 😂😂😂😂
Ok and now i definitely want to get one 😂😂😂
SoLongSidekick The baby vortex has ccd cam, an spi gyro, it runs multishot...IRC did their homework.
+SpikeJonesTheCr0oked Uh kinda, the motors are underpowered (just like the original Vortex Pro) and it doesn't come with a black box stock.

Just got this awesome drone! Great video!! It helps alot for us newbies!
Dave Hygrell glad it helped Dave!
You guys should review the TBS Tango! It looks like a great transmitter for someone getting into the hobby.
I think at the very minimum I would rotate that receiver 90 degrees. If you tumble that quad there is a VERY high chance them pins are going thru the battery if the battery moves at all. I am good with an Iron so I would probably de-pin that, remove the case, heat shrink it and get it on the inside. I would also put a zip tie and heat shrink them antenna ends.

Thanks for the Feedback Psyborg!
Also, thanks for watching!

more builds with TJ please
+colin munn Thank you Colin! More will be on the way for sure. -TJ

I really like the monitor with your video receiver, could I have a parts list on how to make one of those?
I would have de pinned that x4r and direct soldered those wires, then it would fit in the vortex :)
Great video. would you please post another one showing how to set up using Graupner transmitters? specifically MZ12/GR18. I've seen it work in UA-cam videos, but no rundown HOW they got these to work with the V150.
Are these good entry level drones in 2022? Combined with some eachine goggles maybe?

GOOD JOB TJ!
Can you do a video on adjusting the settings, such as how to change the arm/disarm to a switch.
How would you guys recommend this for a VERY new flyer. I've only ever piloted £30 cheap drones, and I have some money set aside for buying an FPV drone.

Thanks for the reply! definitely going to order this quad as soon as i can and ill be sure to check out the goggles. happy flying guys!

you need a 4cell charger
Hey..good video.. can you make a video of any basic quad PID settings for beginners?
guys You you mentioned the full review but I think you forgot to put the link in the description for it :-P
xxxenricop oops! It's there now! Thanks
T-Bone Drones happy to help :-)
So the Spectrum satellite reciver will work as a standalone reciver? Does it have the same "bind ID" as the main reciver or can you have both bound to different models by themselfs?
Thanks 4 the Video, Sir!
Please do a set up video like this one for the vortex 250
Hey guys I have two challenge ideas for you -
One - line up 10 or more bottles of coke or something like that and tie a weight to the bottom of a plane and see if you can break all of the bottles using the stone as a wrecking ball and see who can break more bottles

Does the Spektrum satellite receiver fit inside or does it need to be de-cased ?
850 or 1000 4s battery? Running stock set up, not sure what I should get , I want good run times but not be too heavy
I use a 650 mah 4s. It works quite well.
strangely wobbly camera work for a Flitetest video but brilliant content. Thank you!

Is there a specific reason FR sky Taranis is preferred over Spektrum?

Do you have to run this quad on betaflight?
instead of the tranis can you do the same thing with the flysky?
I'd like to see footage of it with a Mini Mobius or Runcam 2 on top.
How can I change the flight modes on my Taranis x7? I only have 6 channels
What was that think that you installed and why do you need it?
Also, why did you swap the cable out too?
you have to supply the receiver yourself unless you get the blade version it comes with it already installed, he had to change the harness to one that was compatible with his receiver the quad comes with several different cables for different rx's. the receiver is what your transmitter talks to and in this case it sends the data to the flight controller via the cable and the flight controller does what needs to be done, obviously its a lot more complicated than that but that's the main idea.
if i have a dx6i should i upgrade to a taranis qx7
You can always depin the x4r to make it fit inside
Is there any difference between the ImmersionRC version & the Blade version ?
the blade comes with a spectrum rx installed and the immersionrc does not come with the rx you install one of your choice, blade is green the other is red mine is Flite test one and it's black
Will it work with hitec aurora 9 receiver?
What is that little screen you have
Hey can you make review of the flyzone calypso? (big version)
i want to know what do you think about this plane, (i know you have film about calypso micro)
i regard whole of your team!
PS sorry for my grammar im from Poland...,😂
what setup are using to view the camera on your bench
L Markley just using a 10 inch screen with an immersionRC Duo receiver hooked up to it. Both running on a 3s battery
hola muchachos quisiera saber si hustedes saben la programacion del pi dela controladora de vuelo kk2.15 mini tengo un quacopter f450 motor 2212 1000kv bateria 11.1 3000 mh gracias por su ayuda no me pierdo sus videos
I dont understand does that screen comme with it or??
Hey david!
The screen does NOT come with it...it was just for showing the setup ;)
S.O.
What? WHY on earth you didn't fly the thing after all that setup?
Who sells the frsky receiver for the vortex 150
cause I was thinking of buy one for my vortex150 so I can bind it to my frsky transmitter
YAY!!
Here's challenge, design a plane and see how much weight you can fly on it. Person who's plane can fly holding the most weight wins!!!!
challenges and projects pleas
Can you use a cumputer
hi can u guys do a cheerson cx-10 nano quad tace
How do you like the camera? imho it's not as good as a runcam or a regular HS1177. i'm looking to change mine out for a swift or an arrow.
Daytona FPV I feel the same. Once my camera breaks I'll be upgrading it as well
Glad im not the only one lol. I have a swift on its way so i'll be changing it out when i get a chance. I'll let you know how i get on.
T BONE!!!
Faisal Khan FAISAL!!! 🙂
7:24 LOL
where's the link??
Joshua Borges it's fixed now!
tnks
omg why do i have to go through all this, just to get a 3d printer i've waited 3 mounts now and stilll nothing someone help AND i need to stay under 500$$
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
4s ready?
Cole L yep :) and it rips on it
OH YEAHHHHH
just depin the x4r or buy a depinned one and it will fit inside...
Alex Polakis definitely a good idea. This was geared more for the beginner that doesn't want to solder.
:)
just depin that rx and direct solder
I like planes
ELRS-install please….
What do u do if u have goggles?
David Wills it works the same. I just used a screen for demonstration purposes
omg i got the first 100 likes!!!
please dont encourage ppl to use the wrong tools
Had to switch on subtitles... wtf
😐
wish i could afford it lol
