As its name says, the RadioMaster Pocket is a small, lightweight radio controller that packs a big punch. It is available in two versions ELRS and multi-protocol CC2500. Both variants come preinstalled with EdgeTX firmware. The RM Pocket is also equipped with hall-effect gimbals, removable stick ends, and a foldable antenna, making it easy to transport and store. It is compatible with 18650 batteries, which provide long battery life for hours of fun.
In addition to the classic charcoal and transparent case colors, RadioMster has a range of optional color cases available in a selection of vibrant colors, including blue, pink, green, and orange. This allows you to personalize the radio to match your own unique style.
The RadioMaster Pocket is an excellent choice for pilots who are looking for a small, lightweight radio with all the powerful features you have come to expect. It is great for ultra-compact CineWhoop-style drones like the BetaFPV Pavo Pico.
