I'm thinking about buying a Tango 2 because i'm flying only small quads (obviously) and the radio (qx7 with cf module) is by far the biggest thing in my backpack. I could save so much space and waight using the tango 2. I use crossfire exclusivley anyway and i never used more than 500mw and it was enough for flying 1km from my position and accidently dropping between two mountains. I had do a 2 or 3 second full throttle punch to get video back at 800mw and CF at 500mw just saved my day👍
completley new to FPV but using the tango 2 on the simulator, thought id follow these steps and update everything, worked perfectly. cheers dude! would never be able to that without this video :)
I went to check out this video expeting to not get any new info, but let me tell you that while i thought that my Tango 2 was on the latest firmware update i realised that i had a very old firmware installed. Thanks for letting me know how to enable the beta firmware updates!!
@@KaizerTest yes they can th-cam.com/users/shortse1nJMNXqctE?feature=share btw sorry for the bad video quality its quick video to show that tango2 can do 1W
TIP: Format SD instead of delete, much faster. When reloading new files go in and delete all the languages you don't know or use. That's is what takes so freaking long. I even go as far as deleting sound files ( like flaps up, flaps down etc...) that I won't use. You can make a custom folder for all your sounds as they never change when updating firmware and save yourself a ton of time.
@Joshua Bardwell Deleting files from an SDCard takes long time because of FAT filesystem, it does not supports 'DISCARD/TRIM' operation on flash devices, so delete processed with write operation for each file. This is true for all FAT16/32 filesystems under M$ Windows OS. Under Linux it is possible to use DISCARD/TRIM even if storage is formatted as FAT filesystem.
I re-learned the 'if it ain't broke (or you don't require the update) don't fix it' lesson again! Didn't work for me first time like the video so sadly I lost a precious flying day due to an unknown error message in the crossfire menu. Doh!
PLEASE HELP ME : My Tango 2 (v3) was working perfectly and then I did the update and can’t bind my quad anymore. When I press « bind » I receive a message "reload crossfire fw in agent x ». I tried many different things but I can’t use my Tango 2 anymore. Any ideas ? Thank you so much for your precious help.
Tip for someone who is experiencing that the tango would not update and is stuck in "Start update" with 100% green bar, but does not go to the next step. Check if the files in "c:\users\[windows username]\appdata oaming\TBS Agent X\Firmware" have some size (mine were 0KB). If that is also for you, then for some reason it didn't download the firmware files. Find another Tango 2 user and let them zip that folder and send it to you. Replace the files in that directory with the one you receive and you can update your Tango 2. It took me 5 hours to get past this problem :/. (Contacted TBS for it and they have send it to their devs to let the software check the files before updating, but that is still not implemented)
Thanks for the write up on this Joshua. I am having a problem though, my SD card is not showing up when I enter the SD Storage option. The Tango 2 folder with the firmware is there but the other does not load up.
I updated the Tango2 without updating the SD card. No warning popped out. Works fine with the sim. Didn’t try to fly an actual drone yet as it’s cold where I live. Does this mean I don’t need to update the sd card? Did Agent X do it for me?
Same thing happened to me. Press and hold Menu and Exit buttons for 6 seconds to unlock, then set your Region to ‘Open’ and you should be able to select 500mW.
@@TL-jw4nc Make sure you have the V3 Tango board and that your FreedomTX is updated to latest v1.21 and then do the hold menu+exit for 6-seconds or more to unlock your Tango region setting and set it to Open. That’s all I really know. I hope it helps 👍🏻
Thanks for the video. I have formatted the sd card, without backup. I downloaded the content from the "team Blacksheep" but the radio folder is empty. When I start the tbs tango 2, on page 1 it says no tools are available. Any suggestion on how to fix the issue? Thanks
Are there some must have features in the beta firware? I don't see a reason to upgrade because everything works fine. Can you make a video how to setup the display on the Tango2? I couldn't find a way to change the "mainscreen"... Thank you, love your work 😊
how do I see the output power its currently on ? is it now at 500 by default in december 2023 ? can It go to 1 watt ? is it same steps to go to 1 watt ?
Greetings from Malaysia. Thank u so much for the video. I've just updated my tango 2 following this video. Something makes me worried tho. The ad card content is still 1.2 while the firmware tx update is 1.31. Do I still need to download the 1.2 version?
Joshua, my tango 2 is not being recognized by tbs agent when I connect the transmitter. how can I fix this? I am selecting on the transmitter "tbs agent" option but it is still not showing up on tbs agent. Thank you.
Hello, I tried the Update and it completed successfully, also the Memory Card updation. But after that When i select menu its not showing crossfire. Can u help to solve this??????
When you upgrade, do you lose all settings? I'd never upgrade without a backup, but it would be nice to know if I can simply upgrade without any other hassle. That is, as long as I upgrade to a firmware-version that matches the SD-card version.
any good solution for volume control yet? - ive been using open tx to map volume to switches but no real good solution yet - radio could use a potentiometer switch
I might have gone crazy, but I've just received my Tango 2 which was on the latest Beta firmware but had a slightly newer XF version that I've upgraded too and TBS Agent is telling me I can select 1Watt off output power now!

Hey, Joshua. Just updated my radio to Tango II. Is there an option on Tango II to turn off internal RF module? Don't want it to send signal while using in joystick mode on simulator? Thank you.
I followed your instructions up until you click UPDATE. I'm stuck at "Start update" at 100% and nothing is happening. I don't know what to do from here... looks like it all it did was remove the 1.16 version and now I'm stuck. pls help
@@JoshuaBardwell Want to add, I was on the original firmware and I did not get the prompt to update my "plz update crossfire" message, I just backed out manually and that worked.
i don't have an upgraded board, is there a cutoff on what firmware version I can use? because now I have opened a can of worms. Binding is acting weird now. I had everything on one model without issue before updating, now I cant even keep 1 quad to stay bound. I just wanted to fix the gimbal centering bug it wasnt even a big deal. 1 step forward 3 back horraay FPV!
OK I got it all going,1st I had to reload FW (tango kept saying "reload FW in agentX" whenever i tried to bind), re-setup my model profile, then I had to rebind and update each Rx. not sure what happened the first time but this 20min update turned into a 3hr head scratcher, yeesh.
@@JoshuaBardwell That's weird... I can expand the description and see the links on my phone. Can't see them on my PC though. Anyway, thanks for the video. Helped me with my new Tango 2.
@@H.J.B actually all of them are capable of 500mw, but its a pretty insane soldering job. Look it up on YT, I can't recall the original video, but it has been done. I personally wouldn't attempt it though...
Updated to version 1.23 and lost all my settings. After the firmware update was finished the Tango 2 asked me Plane or Delta and if I had a channel idkkkk what the hell happened here.
Did you copy the Models folder out of the SD card before updating? That contains your models so if you didn't copy it out then restore it that's what happened.
@@JoshuaBardwell Ah yes, I did that, I forgot to switch models. However, my sticks are completely messed up. I calibrated them which helped but it still acts weird, for example, when I have throttle at "physical zero" the tango reads it as -82. I am scared to power my drone, so I tried in the sim and the drone goes crazy.

It might. I bought the Pro model in late September. And it had the V3 board in it. So you should be able to upgrade the firmware. But it might not come with it. Since that version firmware is still BETA.
@@JoshuaBardwell lol. I've literally watched all your vids since you started and I didn't remember this. Why!!! I spent hours pulling apart mericas and armattans to rebind them.
@@JoshuaBardwell I tried on another 2 quads and no good. Couldn't get it without pushing the button. The bind appears to start but I never get the "update receiver" option on the tango, it just sits there and flashes green. Oh well they're all done now anyway.
s.o.s just starting to learn fpv got the iflight a85 de. de. de sound when I first plug the battery in but nothing else the drone won't arm.....does anyone fixes this issue....I'll paid for the fixing....does anyone know what I should do....I realy like this drone....but iam not a good technical guy
If you have connected to an Accespoint, freedom firmware may not update, anyone facing this issue, goto tbs WiFi hotspot, goto browser 192.168.4.1 and delete the accespoint and cloud history .. only then it will update.. please let me know if anyone had to face this issue
Ha! I just wasted 3 hours trying to figure out why after the updates, I couldn't get my radio to go to 500mW because I didn't know you have to buy a new board for the inside lol! I just love FPV.....
You answered my question. I have a tango 2 and can not be bothered to open it up to see which revision the board is. However it does show 500mW in the menu after installing the software update. Thank you!
@@jscholz4948 I'm sure your fine. Also my quad doesn't even fly with the new software lol, the motors spin up fine without props, but as soon as I put them on one lags behind a jitters. I went to my Taranis with a older version, and the Crossfire x lite, and it flies fine lol.
CAREFUL!!!! 2 things. (very careful doing this in a Mac. It can be done, but check my comments first, so you don't have to waste an hour.... or more) FIRST: I did as you told and got a strange behavior with the TBS Tango 2 Pro. . . . I then tried to downgrade and this time I got a BRICK!!!! I had a dead Tango Pro 2 it wouldn't even react. . . . I tried pressing the E button while connecting it to the USB-C. and it got into recovery. . . or something. . . SECOND: I had to first recover, then it didn't worked the downgrade because the link for the SD-Card old versions is not working, it directs you to download the middle one, 1.1 or something. . . . So I hjad to upgrade again ,.erase the SD-CArd formatting it to FAT32 ussing disk uwtility on the mac. . . . and then upload the latest SD-Card info. . . . and the files. . . . Then it was working horrible,. . . . so I had to Calibrate, then erase the Models I already had. . . then create new models . . . and It seems to work fine now. . . only, the sticks mode is not recognized by the Velocidrone, I had to reassign them. . . . I will check with my drones in BetaFPV to check if this was just a Cache issue (I didn't restart my computer diuring all this. . . . . . ) Hey Josh!! The KnowItAll made a consistency error :@07:12 the SD card was named TANGO_SD(M), and in your next instruction it was USB Drive(M). . . . that's confusing... and then @09:57 it is named again TANGO_SD(M). This may be obvious to you "mister know it all" but hey man!!! I am starting out on this! I am a beginner! a novice, a rookie, don't do that things!!! -I am changing EVERY darn FrSky to TBS, and maybe selling or throwing to the trash de darn X-Lite Pro because I started with it months ago, but I really hate FrSky for the moves they made, I was only entering the hobby and got stuck in between the FrSky malPractice.... so thumbs up for TBS I am now upgrading to 1.23 and the SD card was erased in a fraction of a second (MacOS Mojave), but the darn upload, that took also "forever" about 10 freaking minutes for just 150MB.

Why would anyone buy new board and do all of the hassle modding just to get that extra dBm gain from 23.97 to 26.98 dBm? I'm staying with the original board, though external module capability would be nice.
Hey Joshua hello, while waiting for my remote control to arrive, I received the multi module for the Tango 2, I wanted to know if there's a way to update the MDM firmware using Agent X via the USB-C port of the module because when i plug in there is only a fixed red led and nothing appears on Agent X : '( ps: i'm on mac os ... thanks if you have any tips ! cheers from France
Whatever. This is the first time I updated the firmware on my Tango so I made a video about it. Can't cover everything as soon as it releases and now I have a tutorial when people ask. Why u gotta hate.

You may even skip deleting them in the first place😁

Hey, Joshua. Just updated my radio to Tango II. Is there an option on Tango II to turn off internal RF module? Don't want it to send signal while using in joystick mode on simulator? Thank you.
Yes. In the Model Setup set internal module to off.
my buddy just bought ghost and a module bay for his tango 2. if it dont run opentx can it be updated to run ghost?
Tango 2 cannot run ghost today because it runs freedom tx. It's expected that it will eventually convert over to opentx but for now, no.
Nice !
I followed your instructions up until you click UPDATE. I'm stuck at "Start update" at 100% and nothing is happening. I don't know what to do from here... looks like it all it did was remove the 1.16 version and now I'm stuck. pls help
After you update the firmware you have to back out and update the crossfire module separately.
@@JoshuaBardwell Want to add, I was on the original firmware and I did not get the prompt to update my "plz update crossfire" message, I just backed out manually and that worked.
@@junglistfpv8553 thanks! closing Agent X and restarting it worked. I'm updated now.
@@JoshuaBardwell Thanks JB. I appreciate all the info you give us in your videos.
i don't have an upgraded board, is there a cutoff on what firmware version I can use? because now I have opened a can of worms. Binding is acting weird now. I had everything on one model without issue before updating, now I cant even keep 1 quad to stay bound. I just wanted to fix the gimbal centering bug it wasnt even a big deal. 1 step forward 3 back horraay FPV!
OK I got it all going,1st I had to reload FW (tango kept saying "reload FW in agentX" whenever i tried to bind), re-setup my model profile, then I had to rebind and update each Rx. not sure what happened the first time but this 20min update turned into a 3hr head scratcher, yeesh.
Joshua, are you sure that V2 is capable of 500mw?
to have 500mw available, you must have a v3 motherboard in your tango 2. If you bought before September 2020, you rather have a v2 or v1
@@dronujemycom how can you check that?
@@eulenmongol you have to look at the motherboard
@@vitopulverenti ohhh noo, thank you!
@@eulenmongol no problem
Links in the description?
Yes? They're definitely there.
@@JoshuaBardwell That's weird... I can expand the description and see the links on my phone. Can't see them on my PC though. Anyway, thanks for the video. Helped me with my new Tango 2.
Thanks for the tutorial, is the 500 mw accessible after the update, or you have to do the hardware mod first?
It depends on the version for your mainboard I think it is only the V3 mainboard that is capable of 500mw
@@H.J.B actually all of them are capable of 500mw, but its a pretty insane soldering job. Look it up on YT, I can't recall the original video, but it has been done. I personally wouldn't attempt it though...
i have a bad radio data on my new s radio #mikechin hooked it up with info tbs says its super rare so im stoked to know more
Stop posting here and contact support for help.
Updated to version 1.23 and lost all my settings. After the firmware update was finished the Tango 2 asked me Plane or Delta and if I had a channel idkkkk what the hell happened here.
Did you copy the Models folder out of the SD card before updating? That contains your models so if you didn't copy it out then restore it that's what happened.
@@JoshuaBardwell Ah yes, I did that, I forgot to switch models. However, my sticks are completely messed up. I calibrated them which helped but it still acts weird, for example, when I have throttle at "physical zero" the tango reads it as -82. I am scared to power my drone, so I tried in the sim and the drone goes crazy.
I'm a noob haha. I was calibrating incorrectly...
@@abelchacon3465 I have the same problem maybe. My Tango 2 (v3) was working perfectly and then I did the update and can’t bind my quad anymore. When I press « bind » I receive a message "reload crossfire fw in agent x ». I tried many different things but I can’t use my Tango 2 anymore. Any ideas ? Thank you so much for your precious help.
This may be a stupid question, but say that, today, I bought the Tango II, would it come with the 500mw firmware already?
Yes pre ordered from pyrodrone.
It might. I bought the Pro model in late September. And it had the V3 board in it. So you should be able to upgrade the firmware. But it might not come with it. Since that version firmware is still BETA.
@@HarleyT3 Thanks for responding. Good to know! I'll definitely check if I end up buying.
Does it need to rebind on the receivers again after updating it?
Yes. I did. So painful when you have 12 quads and some can't get to the nano receiver easily.
I have another tutorial in the can about how you don't have to push the bind button to update them.
th-cam.com/video/8SYiMctDex8/w-d-xo.html
@@JoshuaBardwell lol. I've literally watched all your vids since you started and I didn't remember this. Why!!! I spent hours pulling apart mericas and armattans to rebind them.
@@JoshuaBardwell I tried on another 2 quads and no good. Couldn't get it without pushing the button. The bind appears to start but I never get the "update receiver" option on the tango, it just sits there and flashes green. Oh well they're all done now anyway.
s.o.s just starting to learn fpv got the iflight a85 de. de. de sound when I first plug the battery in but nothing else the drone won't arm.....does anyone fixes this issue....I'll paid for the fixing....does anyone know what I should do....I realy like this drone....but iam not a good technical guy
Upload a video because your written story is quiet unclear.
If you have connected to an Accespoint, freedom firmware may not update, anyone facing this issue, goto tbs WiFi hotspot, goto browser 192.168.4.1 and delete the accespoint and cloud history .. only then it will update.. please let me know if anyone had to face this issue
Ha! I just wasted 3 hours trying to figure out why after the updates, I couldn't get my radio to go to 500mW because I didn't know you have to buy a new board for the inside lol!
I just love FPV.....
You answered my question. I have a tango 2 and can not be bothered to open it up to see which revision the board is. However it does show 500mW in the menu after installing the software update. Thank you!
@@jscholz4948 I'm sure your fine. Also my quad doesn't even fly with the new software lol, the motors spin up fine without props, but as soon as I put them on one lags behind a jitters. I went to my Taranis with a older version, and the Crossfire x lite, and it flies fine lol.
CAREFUL!!!!
2 things. (very careful doing this in a Mac. It can be done, but check my comments first, so you don't have to waste an hour.... or more)
FIRST: I did as you told and got a strange behavior with the TBS Tango 2 Pro. . . . I then tried to downgrade and this time I got a BRICK!!!! I had a dead Tango Pro 2 it wouldn't even react. . . . I tried pressing the E button while connecting it to the USB-C. and it got into recovery. . . or something. . .
SECOND: I had to first recover, then it didn't worked the downgrade because the link for the SD-Card old versions is not working, it directs you to download the middle one, 1.1 or something. . . . So I hjad to upgrade again ,.erase the SD-CArd formatting it to FAT32 ussing disk uwtility on the mac. . . . and then upload the latest SD-Card info. . . . and the files. . . .
Then it was working horrible,. . . . so I had to Calibrate, then erase the Models I already had. . . then create new models . . . and It seems to work fine now. . . only, the sticks mode is not recognized by the Velocidrone, I had to reassign them. . . . I will check with my drones in BetaFPV to check if this was just a Cache issue (I didn't restart my computer diuring all this. . . . . . )
Hey Josh!! The KnowItAll made a consistency error :@07:12 the SD card was named TANGO_SD(M), and in your next instruction it was USB Drive(M). . . . that's confusing... and then @09:57 it is named again TANGO_SD(M). This may be obvious to you "mister know it all" but hey man!!! I am starting out on this! I am a beginner! a novice, a rookie, don't do that things!!!
-I am changing EVERY darn FrSky to TBS, and maybe selling or throwing to the trash de darn X-Lite Pro because I started with it months ago, but I really hate FrSky for the moves they made, I was only entering the hobby and got stuck in between the FrSky malPractice.... so thumbs up for TBS
I am now upgrading to 1.23 and the SD card was erased in a fraction of a second (MacOS Mojave), but the darn upload, that took also "forever" about 10 freaking minutes for just 150MB.
Thanks Bardwell!, the best FPV reviewer and instructor, MAESTRO!!! I owe you now, next year I'll be a good sport and patreon you, not now though, Santa is coming rather expensive this year. (3 descendants now)
my new Tango 2 i get today got 1W
Hi Joshua,thanks for your videos. Do you think tbs will start shipping the tango 2 with the update already done and 500mw available? Thanks very much
Yes they already have as of August 2020.
@@JoshuaBardwell thanks so much,great to know
Wow thats a lot of mw
Is AgentX End of Life?
Why would anyone buy new board and do all of the hassle modding just to get that extra dBm gain from 23.97 to 26.98 dBm? I'm staying with the original board, though external module capability would be nice.
I don't know any RF Engineer who scoffs at 3 dB of free gain. If 250 mW is enough more power to you.
Hey Joshua hello, while waiting for my remote control to arrive, I received the multi module for the Tango 2, I wanted to know if there's a way to update the MDM firmware using Agent X via the USB-C port of the module because when i plug in there is only a fixed red led and nothing appears on Agent X : '(
ps: i'm on mac os ...
thanks if you have any tips !
cheers from France

Boycot tbs
I do
You are a bit late to the party man ffs..
Whatever. This is the first time I updated the firmware on my Tango so I made a video about it. Can't cover everything as soon as it releases and now I have a tutorial when people ask. Why u gotta hate.
Not the fastest video, but has the most quality, Keep it up Joshua ;)
I had a problem with tango 2 and ended up deleting the Sd card, how or where can I recover these files?
