StudioX / StudioXm is the app that allows to fully configure your MICROBEAST PLUS, Spektrum AR7210BX and NANOBEAST (coming soon). You can use it to do all the configuration from the computer or smartphone, to backup settings, load preconfigured setups and do a lot more. Please note for older device like MICROBEAST, AR7200, AR7300 you must use StudioX Version 2.2.4, as well as when you have a MICROBEAST PLUS or SPEKTRUM AR72120BX with firmware version 4.x.x or lower. Instructions for the old (deprecated) StudioX Version 2 can be found by clicking [[StudioX/en|here]].<br />

If not already done power up your radio and MICROBEAST PLUS and connect the BLE2SYS interface to the [SYS]. Then click "Connect button" on the start screen of StudioXm when the BLE2SYS is found (for further information refer to the [[StudioXm/en|StudioXm instructions]]). Wait until the data is loaded from the device and initialization sequence is finished. At first the system will calibrate to the radio system, Menu LEDs H to N will cycle up and down at the device and you can read "Radio init" in the opening overview size. '''During this time do not move the sticks on your radio as the system is learning the stick mid positions.''' In the second step MICROBEAST PLUS checks if the sensors are working correctly and learns the sensor rest positions. Here Menu LEDs A to G will cycle up and down and you can read "Sensor init" in the opening overview size. '''During this time do not move the helicopter.''' When initialization is completed the Status LED will change to blue or purple color indicating the current gyro mode and you can read the gyro gain and mode in the App. If you can't get through the initialization sequence either because LEDs A-G or LEDs H-N don't stop cycling please read [[Help:FAQ:Powerup/en|the FAQ]]. Note that during initialization pressing the button has no significant effect and you will not be able to enter any menu.<br />

StudioX Flow allows to fully configure your MICROBEAST PLUS, MICROBEAST ULTRA and NANOBEAST. You can use it to do all the configuration from the computer or smartphone.

In January 2026 we released new StudioX Flow app. This app replaces the StudioX / StudioXm app on all platforms. Please use StudioX Flow especially for firmware updates. StudioX / StudioXm app won't be maintained and updated anymore.

For download links please visit the BEASTX website:

Make sure to always use the latest version in order to be compatible with latest device firmware updates!

When opening the app for the first time, usually you'll be prompted to give the app some privileges. Here make sure to give the App privileges for using the bluetooth connection and to write data to the internal storage. Also make sure to allow the App access your internet connection in case you want to download firmware update files for your device. With iOS you will be asked to grant privileges at first start up. On Android devices sometimes it may be necessary to do this manually in the application settings!

When the StudioX App is not allowed to write to the internal storage, your user specific settings won't be saved, i.e. language and port settings, etc. So, if you have issues with bluetooth connection or settings please check your app privileges first!



Hardware requirements

To connect your BEASTX controller with your smartphone/tablet the BLE2SYS bluetooth smart interface is required. This is plugged into your device's SYS port and is used to establish a wireless communication to the phone.



To connect your BEASTX device with your desktop computer or notebook you can alternatively use the USB2SYS interface:


Please note that some of these devices are not sold anymore. As an alternative you may use a different brand's USB to serial interface if using the BLE2SYS interface is not an option.
