UPDATE 1: As a proof this mod easily fits the original Radiomaster Boxer Carry Case, I've uploaded 3 photos here: imgur.com/a/PKYepwJ - there is actually quite a space left at the top where antenna resides, for cables, straps, even external antenna module if needed (I carry my Crossfire module there, and Radiomaster Ranger Nano for my Zorro).
UPDATE 2: Yes, antenna can fold, but it also can be rotated 90 degrees, to either side... left or right. Proof: imgur.com/ybfek04
Watch me mod my Radiomaster Boxer ELRS transmitter, full and detailed process. This time, it's a folding antenna mod. I used original Radiomaster replacement antenna for the Pocket radio, and the only thing that's not compatible with Boxer, is that small swivel piece. Super easy to remove it (just a pin holding it), and replace with custom 3D printed swivel. There are two options, one made by "DanoFPV" and another one by "Bikernickmn". Both are equally good and it's only a personal preference which one you'll end up using. Enjoy the video!
All those questions about the range... I've explained in the video, at 5:31 sec mark (little earlier as well). This antenna connects directly to the U.FL connector inside the Boxer, avoiding going through U.FL to SMA adapter. So one less corner, meaning nothing else but cleaner signal. Pocket antenna's internals are physically identical to the original Boxer one, just different shape plastic cover, and I did not tuck it inside the case to potentially degrade the signal... it's outside the case. This is basically the cleanest (by far) and the safest antenna mod in existence for Radiomaster Boxer.
Disclaimer 1: No one is suggesting "you should do it", I am just showing "how to do it"... for free. And it's up to you if you want to do it or not.
Disclaimer 2: As mentioned in the video above, if you decide to do this mode (like with any other out there), you will most likely lose your transmitter warranty. So keep that in mind if that's important to you.
Disclaimer 3: If you decide to do this mod, you take the full responsibility of the potential damage you do in case you don't know what you're doing. Get familiar with opening these units and with the internals before you start working on it. I take no responsibility in the possible damage may end up with because of your actions. What I was showing in my video, was done cleanly and without damaging anything in the process.

I was seriously just looking at this antenna last night. Are you spying on me? 😂 I couldn't find a solution, then bam your video showed up! Awesome video!
Nice! I hope my video will help more people in case they wanted to do this same mod. I strongly believe Boxer should have came from the factory with this same antenna already installed (Pocket's antenna). Not just that mod is fairly easy to do, with the least amount of tinkering around the transmitter and altering things... but the looks of it at the end does it for me totally.
Can you please make a tutorial on how to make the radio make the callouts like “quad armed” or “airmode “ when a switch is flipped
I was thinking about it while ago, but promptly gave up... only because there is literally tons of available YT videos that are doing the same. Don't want to repeat myself if someone else did it before, and especially if they did a good job explaining it. This video for example explains it pretty well: ua-cam.com/video/BcsM10lVswk/v-deo.html
This is the ultimate Boxer antenna Mod 👏🏼👍🏻
Thank you! I love it, not just that it allows me to make my Boxer little more compact and easier to travel with, but it makes it little nicer as well. I've never liked that thin, easy-to-bent-and-screw-up original antenna.
@@Seii-FPV I've just finished the installation, thank you it works as I imagined 🤟🏻
Nice!!
Love customization!
Thank you so much for taking your precious time to watch. Greatly appreciated 💙
Awesome tutorial thanks 🙏
Glad you liked it! And thanks for stopping by and spending your precious time watching one of my videos, greatly appreciated!
It looks like it might taste like mint 😋
Haha, even my little charger PD3 box and the USB-C cable I use to charge this transmitter, are mint/cyan color. Too much mint for sure :)
Nice 😎
Thank you so much for stopping by and taking your precious time to watch my video. And of course, thank you for the swivel mount design. I've got mine printed in PETG, but I believe even TPU would work just fine :)
great video !! poxer gang yeahhhhh hahah
Thank you! I am super happy with how it looks like now. This antenna is a cherry on the top of the cake :)
I have boxer with 4 in 1 system. I tried the mod but the ufl connector on the pocket antenna is 1 cm short. Apart from using a ufl extension, do you think opening up the pocket antenna and swapping it with a longer expresslrs T receiver antenna would work
Yes, mine is ELRS version. It should be completely safe if you are careful with opening that Pocket antenna. I just looked at the spare one I have here, and it's actually super easy to open the plastic cover. There are two thin tabs holding everything together, and you should carefully and slowly pry it open trying not to damage the plastic. Antenna inside can easily be replaced with the longer one with the same specs if you have it. I'd always rather do that, than go through some u.fl extension. That's basically adding another joint/break point and with these signals I'd not play too much with interfering between the antenna tip and the connection point on the Boxer board. One clean line is the best you can have. Maybe that extension would not do anything significant to weaken the signal (if it's a good quality of course), but I'd still rather go with one piece, longer antenna.
(applause 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼) me likey, me likey!! Do you know if the folding antenna, just like yours, will it fits my QX7 radio controller?? I can't find any video that showing QX7 with installing the folding antenna, so please lemme know if you can. You did great here! Good job 👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Unfortunately, I am not familiar with QX7, not sure what it looks like inside and the measurements, antenna opening diameter, etc. Aren't there any videos of someone modding it in the past, available on YT?
@@Seii-FPV dang! Cuz I can't find any videos about folding antenna goes onto qx7, cuz I can see inside of my qx7, that it got just like yours, UFL antenna port, but I want to make sure that it's capable of modification to different antenna on my qx7, but can't find any videos about that. But I seen many other modifications on qx7, but not for folding antenna, so that's why I ask if you know... I guess I got to keep researching until I know the answer. Thanks dude 🤙🏼
@@Seii-FPV I'm so sorry I was wrong, mine don't have UFL antenna port, I can see the stock antenna is soldered onto board, so I just need to cut off the UFL port on folding antenna and solder it onto board and it should be fine, right? Or I still can't do that?? I tried to find on Google and it on UA-cam, but nothing about folding antenna, dang!
@@indroneswetrust1 - MuteFPV did a video about some QX7 mods, not sure if he's mentioning antenna mode, but at least you can see how it's connected inside: ua-cam.com/video/m-ZA7hLcv-8/v-deo.html , also this guy did some antenna mod for QX7, you can take a look and see what's required: ua-cam.com/video/5ZkHekKDuUM/v-deo.html - is it safe? I am not sure I can't say for certain. If it was an u.FL connector inside, I'd say "do it". But this way, I am not sure how things are soldered and if it needs any additional modification or maybe even adding some parts in order for some other antenna to work as it should. This video is in Spanish, but CC might help if you don't speak Spanish: ua-cam.com/video/Q33C5R4wxBo/v-deo.html
@@Seii-FPV hahaha I don't speak Spanish, not at all, not even one word, lolz but thanks for English link!! I will look it up after I cook the breakfast for my wifey, lolz
Your boxer looks amazing! Where can I find 3ď printed part you use?
It's all under the video's description.
@@Seii-FPV thank you!
Can you rotate the antenna verticle? or is it only horizontal that you can have it. Also which thumb grips are those? they look good.
It's inside the video description, under "Update 2" section. Here is the link from that same description: imgur.com/ybfek04 - as for the stick ends, those are called "Thumb Grippies Mini Mushroom Stick End" - I've literally tried them all, and none of them are as comfortable as these ones are. I adore them. It's of course personal preference, but I can fly as a thumber, pincher, or hybrid pinch/thumb, doesn't mater. Any use case, they're incredible! Not too hard, not too soft, they never "cactus" my fingertips.
@@Seii-FPV Thank you sir! great video.
Hi! I have a question, I watched one of your videos were your build a drone with the geprc mark5 frame. Did you have any problems with wiggly arms? My frame is new and it looks like the tolerance in the frame isn't that good, one of the arms moves side to side, it has the same problem as the Lumenier QAV-S v1 😢. If so, do you recommend something to solve that problem?
Nope, Mark 5 is stiff as it can be. In all of my custom builds GepRC Mark 5 and TBS Source One v5 are the most solid frames. QAV-S can have arms that move slightly, but nothing serious that can't be solved by tightening two screws that hold each arm. It's just, when you think you tightened it all the way, there is a half turn or so that basically makes them frozen in place and they won't move any more. Mark 5 on the other hand was super solid from the beginning, and right now, it's still the frame I find myself fly the most and enjoy it more than any other custom build I've done.
I might have bad luck ☹️. Mine isn't solid, I checked all the screws but doesn't work. Thanks for replying!
@@leninegarcia8391 - can you confirm you did a proper arm orientation? I did that animation to show the difference between the front and rear arms. They are not the same. Above mentioned animation can be found inside that video where I assembled GepRC Mark 5, but I also uploaded separate video with animation only. Here it is: ua-cam.com/video/DbVF8FHG--c/v-deo.html - make sure you installed your arms the proper way.
Yep, I checked it with your video, it was pretty good. I managed to solve it by sticking a piece of electrical tape between the arm that was moving
Double-sided tape would probably work little better, since once you jam it inside, it would never fall out. With electrical tape, there is a chance it might slide out, after all that G-force pull.
how did you prevent the antenna moving sligtly?
I'm sorry, I am afraid I did not understand your question. Antenna is foldable, and with this little 3D printed part that allows it to be foldable, you can also rotate it 90 degrees for vertical orientation. For best reception/transmission, your Rx antenna and Tx antenna should be positioned in 90 degrees setup. If you installed your Rx antenna on your quad horizontally, your transmitter antenna should be 90 degrees, so - vertical with your radio. If you installed your Rx antenna on your quad vertically, radio should have antenna in horizontal position.
I really like that mod, but i am still worried about the range, especially for long range use
This is what it says under this video's description: _"...All those questions about the range... I've explained in the video, at __5:31__ sec mark (little earlier as well). This antenna connects directly to the U.FL connector inside the Boxer, avoiding going through U.FL to SMA adapter. So one less corner, meaning nothing else but cleaner signal. Pocket antenna's internals are physically identical to the original Boxer one, just different shape plastic cover, and I did not tuck it inside the case to potentially degrade the signal... it's outside the case. This is basically the cleanest (by far) and the safest antenna mod in existence for Radiomaster Boxer..."_ - also, regarding the long range, I never do that, so non-swappable antenna is not a problem for me. Besides, there is a bay for external module at the back. I use it for all my non-ELRS, meaning TBS CRSF quads... but you could use it for external ELRS module like for example Bandit, or Ranger, or any other out there.
Is it suitable in a transport box?
If you mean, the original Carry Case... yes, it fits perfectly inside, just like it's made for it. There is a slot for antenna, and it has exactly the shape of this Radiomaster Pocket's antenna.
...as a proof, I've uploaded 3 photos here: imgur.com/a/PKYepwJ - there is actually quite a space left at the top where antenna resides, for cables, straps, even external antenna module if needed (I carry my Crossfire module there, and Radiomaster Ranger Nano for my Zorro).
Im using boxer, and im looking for those skin like you Sir, but cant find in the market 😢😢😢.
That is not a skin. I painted it from the inside myself. Here is the video about the process: ua-cam.com/video/b1h3Wm5ksEA/v-deo.html
@@Seii-FPV wow really awsome❤️❤️❤️🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡
@@remyKhuong - thank you! Get yourself transparent case for Boxer and you can do the same, in the color you love. Make it 100% personal. Transparent case costs around $18 here in Canada, that's US$13.25 as of now. I am sure China sites sell it for even less. They are super affordable at the moment.
@@Seii-FPV thank you Sir❤️🫡
Is your Boxer case 3D printed?
No, it's not. rotorvillage.ca/radiomaster-boxer-shell-transparent-flash-sale , and I simply painted in from the inside. Whole process captured here: ua-cam.com/video/b1h3Wm5ksEA/v-deo.html
How about range?
Read the description under this video please. Range should be the same, maybe even tiny bit better. The one thing is for sure, there is literally no logical reason why it should degrade. Antennas internals are identical, and I did not hide it inside the case like many are doing currently. There is no need, since it's folding antenna now and it can easily be tucked away. I've explained the reasoning behind the claim that signal should be equal to the original antenna it in the description, that's why I am pointing you there. Also, at 5:31 sec mark into this video, I am talking about it. This antenna connects directly to the u.FL connector inside the Boxer, avoiding going through u.FL to SMA adapter that is originally inside the case. So one less corner, meaning nothing else but cleaner signal. This Pocket antenna plugs directly into the u.FL connector inside. Unfortunately, I don't have any resources to scientifically test the range, but what I'm flying and where I'm flying, there is no difference in what I experienced before with the old antenna. Radiomaster wouldn't put this antenna in their Pocket radio if it was any less good. All those antennas that fit Boxer are pretty much the same, just different shapes.
@Seii-FPV Thank you for kind reply I'm gonna try it!
@@pcj_fpv - It's fairly easy since it's plug'n'play antenna... just make sure you don't damage the original one (antenna and the u.FL to SMA adapter and its mount inside). Keep it if you ever want to go back. I have no reason to go back, this looks way better than the old setup, and I did not see any degradation in signal strength at all, and I still keep all the original parts... always better safe than sorry.
