Design your own screens to display information that is important to you or generate menu-DeepL access, all with a simple tap of the screen. The mz-16 HoTT includes over 100 widgets that allow you to customize your screens to suit you and your models. Six of these screens can be created, all with just a tap directly on the mz-16 screen, no PC programming required! One transmitter for all. German, English, French and Italian are already integrated, more languages will follow. All in one transmitter.
16 channels put you in control!
With 16 channels, the mz-16 HoTT offers high functionality and control for any kind of your models. You can bind up to four 2.4GHz receivers and distribute the channels as you like. Need more channels and run out of switches? The mz-16 includes an additional 16 digital switches that are assigned and controlled with a simple tap, using the widget menu. Create nearly infinite digital switch combinations to control lighting or smoke, turn cranes or water cannons, or just about anything you can think of without running out of switches. The logic switches (AND, OR, EQUAL, UNALIGN), encoder and combination switches also greatly increase the variety of switching and control possibilities. Each of these switches controls the functions you want to realize depending on its switch position or the stick position. You determine how each individual switch should be named.
Voice output that interests you!
Hear what's going on? The mz-16 HoTT offers almost many possibilities of configurable voice output for the telemetry system and the transmitter status itself. Switch positions, flight phases, warnings, vario tones, telemetry information and much more. The mz-16 starts interacting with you from the moment you turn it on, informing you of incorrect stick or switch positions for the selected model. No surprises from landing gear collapsing, motors spinning up, or incorrect gyro settings. The mz-16 will even inform you, if necessary, if you forget to extend your landing gear, you are threatening to get out of range, or the battery voltage is getting dangerously low. These problems are a thing of the past! With over 600 language files installed, you get an incredible variety of possible combinations of language outputs. If necessary, you can create as many custom files as you like with a text-to-speech editor and use them as you wish.
Help when you need it!
Need help during programming or setup? Forget about thick manuals or the endless search on the internet! The mz-16 HoTT gives you help right where you need it. Each menu and option has its own help text available right on the screen. Just tap on the question mark and you will get the appropriate help and support. You want other help texts? The texts can be easily customized or even extended. The mz-16 is there for you and gives you the possibility to do what you want and like best.
Connectivity that gets you ahead!
Integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connects the mz-16 HoTT remote control to the rest of the world! Optional Bluetooth is also available e.g. for a headset, to listen to voice alerts or just music - the choice is yours! Connect the transmitter to your W-LAN network to be notified when new firmware is available, and then download and install it directly to the transmitter via W-LAN. Your mz-16 is always up to date and you don't miss anything! Of course, the update can also be done conventionally via the included USB cable and, as before, the latest firmware can be found on our homepage. The connectivity goes even further, the integrated micro USB interface can be used for charging the transmitter. It is also used to access the integrated 16 GB micro SD memory card. Saved screens, models, voice files, music, screenshots and other data can be stored and managed on it. With the help of the USB and DSC interface (additional dongle required), the mz-16 can also be used as a joystick for flight simulators or games. Use the mz-16 on your flight simulator just like it will be later on the field! The data port on the back of the transmitter can be configured as an output for a variety of digital signals such as SUMD, CROSSFIRE, SmartBox and more. It has never been easier to connect external modules such as FPV long range transmitters. The integrated file manager allows convenient access to voice files, screenshots and other files no matter where you are!
Wireless Setup!
Computers, interfaces or programming boxes are a thing of the past! The wireless mz-16 HoTT protocol allows all this directly with the transmitter. Whether you want to set up your telemetry or flight controller, or need to reverse the direction of the telemetry ESC, it's all easy, right from the transmitter. Tap the DeepL access button on the transmitter to get direct access to all devices connected to the receiver without any detours. Use the option from the comfort of your home while you are commissioning your model or for fine tuning on the field. In addition, many flight controllers and sensors from partners such as Ikon, Spirit, 3Digi, MSH-Brain and many more, can be easily configured directly with the transmitter via the receiver. All Graupner receivers offer this feature without the need for add-on modules or anything else.
Telemetry to keep you informed!
When it comes to telemetry, Graupner continues to set new standards and the mz-16 HoTT gives you everything you need to stay informed! Every Graupner receiver supports real-time voice alerts about signal quality, receiver voltage and temperature. Additional modules provide information about battery voltage, remaining capacity, altitude, speed and much more! The mz-16 HoTT allows you to set almost any alarm you can think of, depending on telemetry values and flight phases, preventing dangerous and costly surprises. The active flight data storage is saved on the SD card and can be evaluated and analyzed after recording. When connected to a PC, telemetry data can be tracked in real time. All telemetry data can be displayed on the six screens as desired. The layout for this can be selected with the help of the widget editor.
Train your friends! To train friends or family members, all you have to do is bind and go! The mz-16 offers a wireless as well as wired instructor-student function that can be used with all our HoTT transmitters using the DSC interface. Depending on how proficient the student is, the active channels can be optionally handed over to the student. The handover is done by simply flipping a freely assignable switch.
Easy to hold, easy to use!
Ergonomics is the key to a comfortable and good feeling. When designing the mz-32, the pilot was always at the center of all our thoughts. The extremely precise, wonderfully smooth-running and completely externally adjustable stick assemblies allow for a new kind of control feel, no matter what the mechanical adjustments. Switch lengths and spacing have been optimized for very accessible operation. Sticks with switches or push buttons are also available as accessories for your mz-16. The mz-16 is equipped with comfort rubber grip covers to always guarantee a safe and at the same time comfortable grip. Stick covers in various colors and finishes allow you to customize the mz-16 to your taste. The mz-16 HoTT offers you five 3-way switches, two 3-way switches/buttons, one 2-way switch, four proportional encoders, two side encoders, eight user-definable digital buttons and six navigation buttons.
