I use the built-in antenna on the X-Lite Pro so it is smaller for me :). I like the extra buttons on the back of the Zorro and the more prominent buttons on top for DLG use. The smaller buttons on the X-Lite Pro though still work for my bigger hands. The mounting holes for mounting your own accessories is brilliant. I hope more manufacturers and future radios think along those lines. The bigger display is a nice feature. The trims might make a sound on the X20 but they will not accidentally get pushed just by shaking the transmitter (It almost sounded it could be interpreted that way when you were explaining it). I really like the trims on the X20. They stick out and are easy to find and the clicks sound and feel good too. That the trims can slightly make a sound when shaking the radio isn't an issue at all to me. They look nice and function well. The metal gimbals would keep me using the X-Lite Pro. They feel very solid on the X-Lite Pro. Other features on the Zorro though are tempting. It will be interesting to see the battery life. The dual batteries on the X-Lite Pro last a long time (I am using the bigger battery option). FrSky is already working on a newer X-Lite type radio though with Ethos so I will likely end up going with that as I really like the Ethos programming and being able to share models with my X20S as well as the ACCESS protocol enhancements of sharing/moving receivers between radios (without physically needing to touch the receivers).
Excellent first time unboxing. You kidding when said not prepared, right? You more than made up for it in editing. ;) Nice to see a different perspective from other unboxing videos. Lots of good points make. Other unboxing noted a number of power options. External battery, fast USB3 charging, etc. (as well as battery swap) Since ExpressLRS Rx's include telemetry functionality already, adding a baro sensor to provide altitude and rate of climb/decent shouldn't be too big a leap technically.
Well done. What caught my eye was the T-antenna on the X-lite. I have one on a very slow boat from China intended for the external 4in1 module of the X-lite. Does it perform better than the internal antenna? Thanks.
Do you want a lot of hits? Just run a video on how to reverse (or invert) the channels. 1. go to the channel you want to reverse. 2. Scroll to Direction and press. 3. Then go to INV or inverse and press. Who came up with this convoluted way to reverse a channel. Even the word inverse is misleading. It sounds like some sort of vapor trying to get out from deep down.
Pre-Order the Zorro here:
RadioMaster Zorro CC2500: bit.ly/zorrocc2500
RadioMaster Zorro 4-in-1: bit.ly/zorro4in1
RadioMaster Zorro 2.4GHz ELRS: bit.ly/zorroelrs
Thanks for checking out the Zorro!
Great job on the Zorro, it's really impressive.
Just wait for an 6 or 8 channel ELRS receiver with built in vario. COME ON Radiomaster!!!!
Really looking forward to that!!
Very good detailed review and comparison with the FrSky X-lite etc. Helps with buying decisions. :)
Thank you, I'm glad it helps!

I’m looking forward to FrSky’s rumoured gamepad EthOS radio.
Thanks for the review Thomas! I'm a plus one on RM Rx's with build in vario's.....YES PLEASE :D
Really looking forward to those!!
@@ArmSoar FYI, I have SoarOTX running on the Zorro under OTX 2.3.15N637, so I think this radio is going to be a winner!
i just bought the xlite pro for my sailboats and love it, will try the bam2 and deviant when the weather is better
The X-Lite Pro is an awesome radio! One of the best for DLG flying :)

My testing shows it to be very similar, but I use it as I think it should be better being away from all the electronics.
@@ArmSoar Thank you
What wind indicator are you using on the x20?
It’s just a fibreglass rod.
I wait for a video show setup for DLG, F5J and others gliders.
We will be making some more programming videos this spring.
You can already get up to 10 channels with the Matek CRSF-PWM boards and any ELRS receiver.
No kidding! I will look into that, thank you for the tip!
hi do u know rodiomaster zorro 4 in1 and bind with flysky fli 14+ receiver what distance can get ?
and how about bind with radiomaster R81 receiver ?
Do you want a lot of hits?

first impressions are garbage
tell us your opinions 2 years after using it and what you hate about it and why you ultimately ended up throwing it away
