  • I've been using the #Radiomaster #Boxer for just about a year now, after all the hype in the FPV community, does it hold up? Is it as good as the reviewers said back then? Do I still use it?

    Thanks for the year later advice! Well received my friend. I've been looking at this for about a year now and it might just be time to spring for it.
    Great video. Nice voice. Very pro sounding.
    I'm subb'n ya bro

    I have been running the TX16s but now I’m slowly adding all of my new aircraft to the Boxer ELRS. This is definitely a good radio

    I have two boxers and love them. Folding antenna and a kickstand, and it would be perfect. I do a lot of cad work, but I honestly just cut the inner set of rings for the gimbal cover out. Those are my favorite stick ends

    A nice done long term review. Would have liked to hear a bit more on how would like to see on a v2 upgraded. Front switches, antenna, and strap were mentioned as weak points. Personally, I'd like to see flatter toggle switch (so won't catch of stuff and get broken). The foldable antenna design like on the Pocket, (or Zorro) seems a bit better for storage.

    Qx7 = "Unbelievable discomfort"
    Dam, that's my only experience with a radio, I'm flying in discomfort and I didn't even know... 😞
    Great insight video thanks for the hindsight 🙏🏽

    Oddly enough the longest running piece of hardware in my kit is the Taranis qx7, I think it is about 6 or 7 years old. Thinking about switching to the boxer though.

    I have had a QX7 for donkey's years and then just recently bought a Boxer. I fly quads, heli's & fixed wing. I like both of these radios. Only complaint with the Boxer is ideally for fixed wing/heli it needs another 3 position switch. I do like its smaller size but I still love the retro feel of the QX7.

    • @nebastion
      @nebastion 6 місяців тому

      Ahh, ok so I have the QX7... and im looking at other radios too.
      QX7 is BiG. No experience with other radios really.
      Boxer is Mid sized.
      But what about a game style radio?
      too small?
      FPV problems :)

      @@nebastion Game style radios seem good for FPV but usually lack trims & enough switches for fixed wing & heli's. I am really liking the boxer. It is the middle ground between a T16S and a Pocket or Zorro.

    The internal fan stared to make noise after a month or two, was really loud suddenly, like bad bearings, got a new fan under warranty, yet, that one also started to make noise, but i not as much as the previous fan, so wont change it for now

    Great video! Specially on the Ghost part. I am planing on buying this as my first full size radio, since I bought the orqa back on the pandemic. However, I read that the ghost module is not a snug fit. Would you agree? Also, subscribed! Your content is great!

      @@EB_FPV7333 I’m a male on his thirties with average sized hands. Boxer was released a few months after I purchased the TX12, so it wasn’t an option back then. The TX12 feels a bit like a toy, but I think they use the same materials, Boxer feels much more solid.
      The gimbals in the Boxer are full sized V4 Hall gimbals and they feel awesome.
      If you have at least average sized hands, buy it! You won’t be disappointed!

    I've had my Radiomaster boxer ELRS for about 6 months now 😁 seems like very nice radio. Got the clear one and LED rings for gimbels. Looks very cool. I still haven't gotten the drone working 😢 my first DIY 😁 acually i have built 2. A 5" and 7". Got betafpv SuperD module for 7" and darwin F7 cement stack. Controller connects to both but cant get them to work ☹️ 5" is a speedybee master 5 v2 with f405 v4 stack and RP3 receiver. I killed the f7 with a bad flash or soldier or something. Has not been a good experience so far. 2 dji 03 units and integra goggles and all 🤯 $$. I just get out the DJI mini 3 pro if i really want to fly. Tried to contact local hobby shop and they were complete **sholes. I will figure it out someday.... Still trying 😁
