A few months ago, RadioMaster introduced two ExpressLRS-compatible radio receivers with their Zorro transmitter. This review will look more closely at the RadioMaster ELRS EP1 and EP2 Nano RX ELRS radio receivers. ExpressLRS is a relatively new radio protocol that is focused on range and latency. Regarding remote drone operation, these are the two most important factors besides reliability. Being...

Following the great success of the Pavo30, BetaFPV is about to release a smaller edition named Pavo 25, which actually is kind of an upgraded version of 95X V3. Currently, the BetaFPV Pavo25 is in the testing phase and will be officially available in a few days. The BetaFPV Pavo25 adopts a pusher design with inverted motors. Its carbon fibre...

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...

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. To ensure a low-latency communication between the...

With the release of the shiny new Mini 3 Pro, what's the sense of talking about its predecessors?

JumperRC is launching an updated version of their popular T-Lite transmitter that has two built-in radio receiver options: a 4-in-1 multiprotocol module or an ELRS module. The most significant upgrade of the Jumper T-Lite V2 is the capability to run an external radio module at full power without needing any modifications, unlike the original T-Lite (V1). It comes with an...

T-Motor's new Feather120 fpv drone is intended to be used indoors. It is compact, lightweight and super quiet. IMHO for safety, they should provide a removable 360° protection guard. The T-Motor Feather120 has a size of just 160x160x26mm and weighs about 30 grams without a battery. Both, the carbon frame and plastic canopy adopt a hollow design to be super...
