 
 
Hello, today I will review the
 
 
new module from TBS which just arrived
 
RChangar 15 sent it really quick, thank you!
 
 
they got it in stock yesterday and sent it right away
 
 
We wil have a look whats inside the box and how the module performes.
Enjoy the video!
 
 
 
Lets have a look at the module
and whats inside the box
open up and we see the module
 
 
take off the plastic cover
 
take out the module and we see
two ribbon cables
you will need these ribbon cables
for the power adapter
you will have to connect this part with your google
which you see here
 
There is a good video showing how this is done
you will find the link in the video description
You will have to mod your google a bit
but it is very easy
just connect the cable with the module and the adapter
On the module is also a micro-USB connector
 
Display still with screen protector film
 
Here is the menu button
and the plastic cover in black
nothing special on the back
pins for the connection to your google
and now
I will fit it into my google
and fly the first test
Welcome back you copter-wacky-guys
the test of the TBS Fusion module
yesterday I showed you
whats inside the box and I linked the video with the power mod
and today I will fly in this car park
testing the module
 
with these antennas
 
the antennas are from Antennenfreund
they are called Propfräse
and I will fly the Beta 85
the copter is set to 25mW
will test the Fusion module
checking the reach flying up to the end
around corners
after that
I will change to my old module
the Eachine Pro 58 with the Achillez firmware
in post production I will compare the two videos
and we will see which video is better
which module performes in certain situations better or worse than the other
I am curious wether the invest into a new module was worth it
 
looking forward to the first tests
Lets see how far I will get
 
lets go
very good picture
around this block is the picture still very good
cannot complain
just before me, flying now to the right
flying to the end of the car park
outside its raining, will not fly outside
picture quality gets lower
but still flyable
also behind this concrete walls
flying 25mW, here the picture gets very clean again
 
very pleasant picture quality
 
what you can hear
is a guy driving his RC car
 
lets have a look behind this
picture still very good
flying 25mW
here it gets worse
here it is very good
lets have a look behind this wall
and it gets worse and worse
 
picture quality is flyable to get you home
but not suitable to fly a race with
I will use this area as a benchmark
 
 
curious how the Achillez module will perform back here
 
I cannot say why
I have good or bad picture
because
in between I have really good video
all of a sudden I get really bad video
without flying behind an object
and again, benchmark will be this area
 
you cannot fly decent with this picture quality
 
 
here it is ok again, might be because I view connection to this area
 
here picture gets really bad again
coming back now
 
 
 
 
flying back now
 
back there will be the benchmark
back there wil be the benchmark
 
 
picture quality back there is quite bad
here you see why I had occasionally good video
I have view connection
which got me a very good picture
test number two
 
similar antenna setup
just for information
in the past I was flying RP-SMA
 
the TBS Fusion is SMA and I dont have two SMA antennas
 
 
so almost identical setup
two antennas from Antennenfreund
two Propfräse and the difference is
I now have RP-SMA Antennas
and the other antennas were SMA
 
on the other module I used my lonrange antenna
but this should make no big difference
Now flying again with the Beta 85
after the start I will fly back there
 
have a look in this area which I set as benchmark
curious about
the result
will I get as far as before or will I fail?
what I notice
the picture in the Fusion is -
in my opinion
is better concerning the picture quality
back here the picture gets worse too
but everything is still very good visible
everything fine here
coming back
 
you still might hear the RC car guy
fly behind these walls
now it gets thrilling
because
the Fusion module
had its weak spots here
clean video
and back here
to be honest
with this video I am still able to fly
here in the back
might be
because the antennas mounted to the fusion are not as optimal as the ones mounted to this module
 
but still here in the back
the picture is better
at least it is not worse
or did I get used to this kind of disruptions
because I am flying this module for more than a year?
There is a difference in how the picture is build
In the Fusion module, the whole picture gets bad at once,
 
and here I get massive disorders
but these disorders
dont violate my flying
no major problems back here
 
everything here without major problems
 
here was a big interrupt
 
but still
compared to the Fusion, which had massive problems back here
 
 
 
If you have in mind that this module
was 25 or 30 Euros
and the licence for the software 11 Euros
add one more Euro for the parts for the OSD
 
I am flying a module for around 45€
make it 50€
which is less than half of the TBS Fusion
but in my opinion
performes as good as it
Flying here
without any major problems
 
Maybe I need to build some confidence in the TBS Fusion
but
I am curious
no, not curious, more like happy
having such a great picture with the Achillez module
battery empty
I am astonished
in my opinion, I have with the Eachine Pro58 with Achillez firmware
 
better reception
compared to the TBS module
speaking of the TBS Module, wich is 135€ in Germany
and the Eachine module
with all the mods and firmware etc...
around 50€
 
I must say I am disappointed by the TBS Fusion
Disappointet maybe not really but also not really convinced
I will change modules one more time and have a look at the area back there
 
if it gets any better
I will let you know
otherwise
the two modules can be totally compared with each other
or rather the Eachine module is even better
quite sad actually...
still cannot belive
that the Fusion module is worse
than the 50€ budget
Eachine module with Achillez firmware
TBS stated they work with the Achilles developer together
 
I think the OSD is programmed by the Achilles guys
 
still cannot belive
the Fusion module is worse
doesnt make any sense for me
considering the module is more than twice as expensive
and it is made by TBS, who actually should know what they are doing
and just for crossfire integration
and a feature that changes the channel automatically
in the module
as soon as I change channel on the copter
or vice versa
which is currently not working but a feature which should be released
 
I have changed the module one more time and will test again
DVR is running
go back there
still cannot belive the bad quality
 
wind
 
maybe I just have to get used to
this kind of disruptions
 
might be these are
the new picture-disruptions
 
and I am used to the disruptions of my old module, which are totally different
 
going back here
I can fly it, its ok
 
but these disruptions like now
here I had
excellent video with the Achillez module
back here
and there
I had flawless reception
I was just watching the modules OSD
and what I can see
both antennas should have good reception
 
Am I a bad user?
The video here is incredible bad
I can assume what is here
I will have to check on the DVR
but with the Achillez module
the video was much better
here the video is fine
very clean video here
but back in this area
 
if I dont know the spot
I could hardly fly there
 
After this test, that happened:
 
and that
