GEPRC TinyRadio ELRS Remote Controller
The beauty of ExpressLRS is that is open-source and can be used for free by any remote controller manufacturer. The GEPRC TinyRadio ELRS is not the first of its kind and probably not the last too. It comes in both frequency options (2.4GHz or 915Mhz) and mode 1 or mode 2 stick configuration.

Coming soon: Flysky FS-FT18 Paladin Transmitter
2019 comes with a new FlySky transmitter called FS-FT18 Paladin. As its name says it, will feature up to 18 channels. But why so many channels? Does anybody use them? Let's be fair, drone pilots will never need more than 6~8 or max 10 channels. The Flysky FS-FT18 was announced in mode 1 and mode 2 variants.

BetaFPV SuperG Nano TX: First GEMINI ELRS transmitter
Since I built my first ExpressLRS-enabled FPV drone, I converted all existing drones to ELRS due to the excellent range and link stability.

FrSky TANDEM X18S transmitter with EthOS
Priced for more than $500, the FrSky TANDEM X18S is for sure not intended for everyday FPV drone pilots. I have to admit that it has a UFO design and versatile hardware, but still super expensive for a remote controller!
The FrSky compatible Tandem X18 series dual-band telemetry radios benefit from an enhanced ergonomic design with rounded and more comfortable...
