20 Best Transmitter For Fpv (2022 Updated)

CUSTOMER SERVICE REVIEW: I’ve made 3 purchases with Pyro Drone and shipping has taken place the same day. I’ve had one question for the customer service team and they responded timely and were very courteous and helpful.

The Pyro Drone organization receives a solid 5-STAR rating. PRODUCT REVIEW: I have rated the DJI FPV Remote at 4-STARS. I purchased this transmitter as part of my first FPV setup. After spending time researching the hobby I went straight to a DJI digital system.

I chose this transmitter versus the other options for simplicity and the ability to manipulate settings in the goggles. The controller feels comfortable to me although I don’t have any reference point other than the OcuSync remote that came with my Mini 2.

I do understand that this is a different class of controller versus a standard cinematic drone. The build quality seems solid to me with one possible exception. While still not tested over a period of time/usage, I am concerned with the durability of the toggle switches.

They are small and don’t give the impression of robust, long-term durability. I hope that doesn’t prove to be the case. Overall I am happy with my product choice and very satisfied with Pyro Drone as a retailer.

Sorry for the delay, needed to fly first and weather was not cooperating. I am impressed! I had concerns of range and how it worked in tandem with the video feed but those subsided quickly after flying it.

Very stable, responses and seems the Radio outruns the video feed. Flew through dense trees and obstacles, behind, around, etc and did not lose signal (was at 100% even when video dropped to 1 and 2 bars.

) Solid design, easy setup and a breeze. Quads are so clean without the crossfire now. CRSF is overkill in my opinion after flying with both now. I will still hang on for my long-range builds but sticking with this until I see performance issues.

Excellent quality build. Plenty of switches and dials. All the switches are three-way switches which is a nice touch. I use this with the Flywoo Vampire FPV and works great. Comes with the two antennas which fold down for easy storage and travel.

Easy to bind with DJI FPV goggles and the Air Unit. Surprisingly, it has an internal fan which is a little loud but nothing terrible. It comes with an internal rechargeable battery. The battery lasts plenty long enough before having to recharge.

Stick motion is very smooth. All in all a nice product.

The car is put together well from the factory and performs well,lots of plastic parts are used (keeping price low) but all are upgradable at reasonable prices. My main concerns are with the instruction sheet.

The part #’s on the 1 page instruction sheet (with an exploded view of the car)do not match the #’s on the enclosed spare/hop-up parts sheet. Makes for lots of research to get the right part. Over all a great deal for the $$,but previous RC experience would be helpful.

Looks like a good quality product. One word of caution, make sure the tripod ball mount stem will match up with the bottom of the Quick Release Plate. My ball stem will not fit, however, I will donate the item to someone that can use it.

The price for the Flysky FS i6 and receiver was better even than Banggood. Free shipping and delivered fast. This is my 2nd FS i6 which has been a great transmitter much cheaper than Spectrum protocol transmitter and receiver.

These are really good value radio controls. I’ve had mine for years and have just got another one recently as a spare. Very well built and durable, especially considering the price!! Mine has outlasted other control systems from much more expensive and well known manufacturers!! The range is very good, even on the small park fly receiver, effectively out of sight for the size of model that they are used in.

The larger “B” receiver is as good as any other one I have used. The transmitter has a full range of programmable options, mixing, rates, exponential and servo reversing, all very easy to set up. I would say that for the average hobby flier it is more than good enough.

Very highly recommended!!.

This radio control system is more competent and technically powerful than any system that I have previously owned, and was supplied very quickly and well packaged. the price of this package is lower that the cost of the old 27Mhz equipment I bought ages ago.

so there have been immense improvements in equipment alongside reduced cost of ownership. one down side. the product has 20 model memory, not one of them shows a model boat! which is what I intend to use the system for 🙁 Well done.

You cant go wrong for the price! Txm and receiver, binding cable and USB for firmware upgrade. Full instruction manual, although I have mostly gone down the Youtube route. I managed to set up 3 position switches, dual rates, expo etc.

shows radio txm battery voltage, rx voltage, and with CVT-01 sensor shows model battery voltage as well. I swapped the sticks to Mode3 as I prefer left handed control this is pretty straight forward All in all very happy with this great value txm/rcvr package.

Great service from Helidirect. No issues with the order and shipping was nice and quick. This is the most modern, least expensive Spektrum TX that supports forward programming. There are no knobs or sliders.

The only knock I have is against Spektrum/Horizon Hobby and is not the fault of Helidirect. In truth, I expected the following: The firmware on the NX6 I received was not capable of upgrading over WiFi and didn’t support forward programming.

The work around requires a computer-savvy individual, which I am. I had to register the TX on spektrum. com manually, then upgrade from downloaded files copied to a micro SD card, in order to get it working right.

After the upgrade, WiFi updates and forward programming were fully supported.

As always HeliDirect offers super fast and efficient shipping. As far the product goes, I had the transmitter for two days before it began to have issues. Tried doing the firmware update and it completely locked out the transmitter to the point where I couldn’t even power it on.

It would just flash the Spektrum logo and that’s it. I spoke with HeliDirect about it but they where not helpful. The directed me to get in contact with Horizon Hobby. After about a week of speaking with them they advised that I sent it in.

So it took a week for them to receive it, and another week for them to troubleshoot or repair it. Needless to say I have absolutely experience with the NX6. I feel like I’ve been giving the run around since I got it.

Helidirect was fast with getting my order shipped and I received it 2 days after I placed my order. The NX6 has worked flawlessly. I was able to update the firmware to the latest version over WiFi just as advertised.

I assume this worked since I started with a later version of firmware than some others did. It’s done everything I expect it to do while flying my Blade helicopter. The only knock is the gimbals aren’t the smoothest I’ve used.

I started my fpv flying with this transmitter. I’ve had to fix more from falling with failsafes than crashing. The range of this tx is horrible unless you’re planning to race with it. Other than that the ergonomics are on point and gimbals feel great.

I retired it because I was tired of loosing signal and definitely ditch the huge rx it comes with, you can decase it but there are great options for 3rd party small receivers that are flysky compatible.

This would make a great tiny whoop controller. IMHO for a bit more you can get a better tx.

I absolutely love this mop. Perfect for those people who have back problems no more bending down to squeeze the excess water off the mop. Another plus is you don’t ever have to buy another mop again.

This mop head comes off for easy wash in the gentle cycle. I bought extra mop heads so that I have one for every day. Super easy to use the mop bucket it stains the water off the mop with an easy un and down motion good on all types of floor.

I will never go back to a regular mop.

This grinder is a plastic piece of toy. Coffee is difficult to grind with it since the lid and the handle keep travelling off, it seems like the whole thing might break the next turn. White pepper seems even more detrimental for this grinder.

It might have been a good product if the parts were more robust. It is very small and cheap. Perhaps good for poppy seeds or other variety. OR use until break.

I’ve tried on 3 different occasions to get this vtx working, since I bought it , it’s not worked properly, I’m not one to complain, but for as simple as it is to wire, my foxeer module won’t seem to pick up or lock in the right channels.

I’ve tested it with a mtimeter it it’s getting power correctly. At the time I bought mine, there was not a single video on youtube available, and no downloadable manual or wiring pinout available. So thankfully now that you’ve posted those, I hope to get it working soon.

It does what it’s supposed to do. However, first of all every time I power up the quad it broadcasts on a slightly different frequency, which forces me to re-tune the VRx on the goggles. Also, it doesn’t come with any cables for wiring it to the FC, so you just have to repurpose other cables for the task.

Even though it’s a cheap VTx, this details make the experience quite lacking.

I watched a video on yt and everything seemed to work out perfect. It will hold a 6s. So far nothing went bad. Soon ill be flying in no time. Soldering was easy. Big plates. Video quality is very good.

Takea time to get use to but not to bad. I have it on my 7″ drone. I had to make a custom wire harness.

Great price for this receiver. Bound with only one plane so far and had no problems. Would recommend this radio for someone looking to enter the hobby and not spend very much money.

Works great. Only needs 4 batteries (6V). Easy to program.

Works very well. Don’t drop it, the switches break easy.

Very light weight, very powerful, smart audio, what’s not to love? Even though the picture shows it’s a soldered on pigtail, it is a really UFL connector. Was pleasantly surprised when I didn’t have to solder on an SMA pigtail.

I’ve had unify transmitters in the past, mostly V2’s and some HV’s, but this one runs the coolest and most consistently thus far. I have SO much video range when paired with a crossfire radio system.

Definitely putting tbs unify pro transmitters on all my future builds.

Bear in mind I have not tried all the vtx options. I like how easy this is to mount. I like how easy it is to operate. Love the race and freestyle modes. Only very minor issue I can happily overlook is the button placement/type.

I would like the button at a right angle on the edge or the option to easily move the button to an accessible part of the frame. Like an unpluggable button with a button relocation kit.

Excellent board. Great range. At a very good price.

Super easy installation. Put it on rubber grommets in the aft and soldering was nice and easy as the pads are double sided and on the edge. I haven’t soldered in about 10 years and it was done up in 2min.

I’m not using smart audio so my only gripe is that there isn’t a third switch on the unit to power on/off(or pit mode). That would take it to the next level. As it is this just seems to be a clone. And that’s what I wanted, to be honest.

Fantastic video quality through 2 concrete walls @500 with patch on echine800D and included dipole on vtx.

The chanel/frequancy button was broken on mine. It was a bit frustrating, I was looking at the online manual and it wasn’t doing what it was suposed to. Smart audio saved me! Otherwise I like it. It is verry small and light weight for the power it puts out! It dosent have a mike but it has an audio in pad.

the video looks good and I can get quite a lot of range.

The installation and wiring is super simple, yet the device is super powerful. paired it with a Runcam Racer 5, and the signal and video are clear and strong. Very small and lightweight, yet high quality makes it great for any sized build.

The Tango 2 keeps it simple. I just like to fly that’s it. Battery life is great, I leave it set on 100mw with no worries of Failsafe. Gimbals feel smooth in the hand, ergonomics are comfortable. Things I like about it, are the durable switches and folding gimbals.

People complain that the screen is too small, This radio is not for you. The interface of edgeTX is nice to use but and no mini quad pilot really needs the screen when flying in the Goggles. (IMO) more battery life for the radio and helps with the compact size.

TBS Cloud is awesome, because this is my second radio I’m using for a flight sims and flying at Work.

This is my first radio and the range is incredible on the default settings, 25mw. I have friends getting failsafe midflight while using FrSky and ELRS. This RC is capable of going up to 1000mw (1W) broadcast signal which supposedly can get you miles for range.

Upgrading the firmware is very easy using the TBS Agent Lite. Once you upgrade you will need to rebind your quads and the Tango 2 will automatically update the NanoRX firmware on the drone. I would advise watching some YouTube video for setup.

Make sure you controller is setup for FCC mode and AETR1234 channel mapping.

This radio is awesome! The multi-protocol module modification was quite easy to do so that I could fly my Mini Whoop with it. I’ve also been flying it on PC Simulators and with a 5” quad. There is a bit of a learning curve to using this radio.

To be able to use this radio to it’s fullest extent you will have to learn all of the functions and features and how to navigate through the menus. I do have a problem which is the online manual for this seems lacking.

I have lot’s of questions and I really have no idea where to get them answered. The fresh desk for TBS doesn’t have all of the answers as well. One other problem is I haven’t really been able to get the gimbals to calibrate perfectly by using the calibration feature, and it seems like every time I turn off the radio I have to re-calibrate the sticks.

I wish there was a way to manually trim the sticks instead of using the temporary manual trim because if you do that it resets when you use the calibration feature. It’s just not ideal. I would prefer to hook it up to my computer and really be able to get the sticks to center at 1500.

This radio will do what you want and more! I fly these with the TBS honey sticks and it’s been quite for me cause I thumb! I think this will also work for pinchers as well. I’ve been playing this hours on end on PC simulators and my hand doesn’t get tired.

I definitely recommend this radio!.

I wrote a review giving the company 3 stars (though its not showing up). I looked all over for the FPV controller 2. EVERYWHERE was sold out. I remembered this site from a friend. It showed that Getfpv had some in stock for cheaper than the other guys.

I chatted online with Getfpv to make sure. The man said “if the website says its in stock then its in stock” , a little rude sounding when you read it. But i chose to hear it differently in my head. Plus I was too excited to be upset.

Although I did not truly believe him or the site. But I ordered it. And after about a week. IT CAME IN YESTERDAY 9/22. I have been hearing and reading horror stories of people ordering elsewhere and getting used, broken, opened, overpriced controllers for their Avata.

But my controller is brand new, in the box, plastic wrapped ready to go. I wrote on my original review that I would raise my rating from 3 stars to 5 if it actually came in. So 5 stars Getfpv. Parker Drone LLC is your newest customer.

Jumped on ordering this product when GETFPV notified by email item was in stock. Was fortunate to acquire one before running out of stock again. Have been using remote controller with DJI simulator learning how to fly the Avata in manual mode.

Love the feel and operation of the controller. After having acquired approximately 10 hrs on the controller and simulator I can easily fly my Avata in manual mode. Would not trade the DJI controller 2 for anything else.

Thank you Get FPV, I could not find this controller anywhere after buying the DJI Avata kit from DJI. So out of desperation to fly freestyle I pre-ordered it to ship later from Get FPV in hopes to get it before Christmas.

A couple days later I got confirmation that the controller was shipped and on the way. I was blown away and you all beat my expectations and made my dreams come true. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I love yall. You are the best.

If you want a gamepad style controller and you use crossfire, then this is the best transmitter. – built in crossfire micro v2 up to 1 watt. No external power needed. – usb type c port for charging and for sims.

Charge the battery while using sims. – intuitive menu – excellent build quality – unbreakable switches – foldable antenna. – nano module bay to install expresslrs. Disadvantages: – to use Frsky, you need a multi protocol module.

– battery life is so so – small LCD screen – 2-position buttons on shoulder are not so fast to press. – installing a module requires making a hole in the back cover. They should just have a nano module bay preinstalled.

I really like this controller compared to the typical large-sized remotes like my last one, the Taranis QX7. Takes up way less space in the pack. I’m not afraid I’m going to break switches or the crossfire module antennae anymore just getting it in and out of the pack.

I wanted to get this remote a while back but with the goal of doing some medium range stuff I thought it would be better to stick with the crossfire module on the Taranis and get the power I felt I needed.

But with the V3 PCB now in the Tango 2 I can get 1W which seems to be pretty much all the power I will ever need. The gimbals are a lot smoother than my last rig. I actually feel like I can finesse the throttle a lot more.

As a result my landings are way smoother, way gentler. But I honestly feel a bit more confident flying in proximity as well. I do have an issue from time to time where I get a warning message that the RF signal is low just after I turn on the controller and it will connect and disconnect from the receiver several times in like 10-20 seconds, before I even have a chance to take off.

But I turn off the remote and turn it back on and it seems to work fine after that. Weird bug or maybe I’m doing something to cause that? The screen is tiny and can be hard to read, especially in daylight.

But besides those gripes I very much like it. And the price seems fair. Definitely feels like an upgrade. Pyro Drone as always was quick and professional with shipping. Thanks, guys!.

I’ve been flying (and driving) with my thumbs for close to 30 years. I’m reached at video games you can’t play with a mouse. So I was sure there was going to be a learning curve, switching to this style of controller.

30 minutes. Are the folding sticks a gimmick? Yes. Are they worth an extra $50? Also, yes 😉 I was not able to get autobind/multibind/??? to work with my old x9d, it doesn’t seem to be supported the latest release level firmware on nano RX’s.

Nor was I able to get the WiFi functionality working since Agent X doesn’t seem to support a space in the password. So there is a bit of functionality I was hoping for (being able to use either TX without pressing the bind buttons) that isn’t in the box.

but once I played with it for a bit, I really had no desire to go back. I do have to note that it’s possible to push the sticks too hard during calibration. It appears I mashed hard enough that the whole gimbal assembly deflected slightly, which caused the throttle warning to be triggered on startup.

running calibration again cleared that up. There are also many little bits of refinement that balance out these minor shortcomings. The sound of the detentes on the antenna is sublime. The rotary switch is just right, as are the locking shoulder buttons.

The whole package feels very well thought out.

I was surprised at all the features available that weren’t even advertised. Elevon mixing & etc. in such a small package. No one at the flying field remarked about it being so small. They all were impressed with the simplicity and ease of using and handling and not worrying about handling with extreme care as to not hurt it.

Of coarse I treat all my stuff with care. Happy to add to my hobby with quality and inexpensive equipment. Happy as can be. Hoping it lasts forever.

I bought this to replace the Anylink mod for my GP F-86 mini EDF. Works as expected. Not fancy, just does the job.

Very good transmitter for indoor or back yard small model .I recommend it.

Excellent unit nice to handle and setup on model with digital trims For model boat. With the advantage of no Crystal to have to change as with my old radio. Works well with rechargeable batteries giving long duration and audible alarm on low power.

It’s great. Nothing bad to say about DJI products. If anything the customer service from GetFPV themselves is outstanding. P. S if you’re waiting for this to stock. Just check twice a day, and you’ll get one.

Or just place a backorder.

Works as expected since I have one already with my DJI FPV drone. It would be nice if it was easier to adjust the throttle to change from self centering to conventional throttle but that’s my only complaint.

There is a known issue with the circuitry of the PCB that is being used in these ELRS units. I am unable to flash firmware to this target unless I unscrew and take apart the unit. There is a button that can be depressed during the loading of firmware that gets it to properly flash, but boyo that is annoying.

Even though this is half-baked on a good day, it is still worth the 40 dollars. It works after the workaround is deployed and the Beta FPV receivers bind immediately. The Happymodel EP1 and 2 are faulty right now with a good bind as they for some reason need to be power cycled once when using them together.

After some digging the Happymodel EP1 and 2 receivers are having issues across the board with any other brand of TX so keep that in mind when looking into this system. Overall, it is not what the YouTubers and others are projecting it to be.

We still have a long way to go in order for this to be a 5-star product. I feel that the excitement is being overlooked and the price is marginally better, in some cases being more expensive than crossfire.

Other than the firmware flashing issues, the product is functional and needs fixing for batch 2. IF Beta FPV was cool they would announce a v2 PCB letting us all know that they fixed the issue of firmware flashing as that is a pretty big issue to leave out in the wild.

I was using a CF Module glued to the back of an X9 Lite radio. It’s nice to have a JR module that fits the bay. Plus this is way cheaper than CF. The only problem I ran in to, and not everyone will have this problem but if you do, here is the fix.

I could not flash the module in Express LRS Configurator. It kept erroring out. I had to take the case off the circuit board and there are 2 more hidden buttons on the PCB. Press and hold the lower button down the entire time the configurator is flashing the firmware to it.

That forced the module to accept the firmware and it’s been working great for me.

The module itself works great, and I love the cheap options for super tiny receivers that fit in the smaller builds. I upgraded my tinyhawk 2 freestyle and love the extra range. 4 stars because the unit I received is missing a component, and therefore had to open it up amd hold down a button to update the password.

Overall not a very difficult fix, just kind of annoying that betafpv still has this issue so many months after it was discovered.

I’ve got one of these as well as the smaller module for an on-the go radio. The system is fantastic, I highly recommend it over crossfire. Sick of failsafing when flying around cell towers? Be in the air while your friends are on the ground due to cell tower interference.

Tiny antennas and receivers, never struggle to fit an rx in your build again no matter how small. Sick of chopping 915mhz antennas? These little antennas are built to the same quality as the TBS offering yet are 1/4 the size.

The radio has enough range to outfly just about any video system, less than 100mw will outfly DJI with a patch antenna. Biggest bonus for me over crossfire though, with crossfire my tx battery died quickly, with this I get the same effective range, yet my battery lasts 4x longer on my tx.

Mine didn’t come with any bugs but it’s def haunted. Ectoplasm everywhere. Who am I gonna call? GHOST BU. wait, er. IRC? Or Race Day? In all seriousness this is a huge upgrade from me using internal multi modules for frsky and flysky spi receivers.

My favorite feature so far is being able to switch the tramp VTX settings without having to turn on the quad. Otherwise, still just getting into its potential. Probably be more exciting when the flight controller software fully supports the protocol.

This is great but it’s still in beta. We are still waiting on the next OpenTX update for ghost compatibility, you you need to download a temporary IMRC test version. Still waiting on betaflight 4. 3 for a ghost protocol, so for now you have to use SRXL2 with no telemetry.

Thankfully flashing and binding is super quick and simple, so updating when the new firmware comes out is easy.

I ordered this smaller and next size up. It was to separate papers, good jewelry, legal papers, sentimental items, hand guns and some family small collectables. Coins, foreign currency, Compact, easily transported or hidden.

I am so happy with this mannequin that I am considering buying another one in black. It is exactly what I needed to work on my sewing projects. It was so easy to assemble, and I put it right to work.

It seems very stable.

Easy to use and handy size. No idea of how accurate it is but will just have to trust the manufacturer. Prefer this rather than an alarm only device as it gives an instant reading of Co level not cumulative levels which may excede safe levels.

This TBS crossfire transmitter attached to my Spektrum IX20 with no problems. I set the serial port for battery did a setup and bind to a receiver with no issues. This solved a problem we are having a our flying field with 2.

4 issues. I will continue using the crossfire even after the issues with 2. 4 are solved. This unit works very well. Through Getfpv the shipping was very prompt and I received it faster than I had expected.

Would have given 5 stars except for one major Issue I had to deal with. The TX unit itself DOES NOT HAVE WIFI!!!!!!! It’s in the JR adapter box, which isn’t used in the install of a Spektrum DX9. I had to figure out how to wire in the wifi module separately so I could use the TBS cloud function.

Other than that, it’s AMAZING!!! haven’t found the range limit yet flying long range or through obstacles. It’s pretty user friendly if you do a bit of research first. I really like it. I contacted TBS directly about the JR adapter box, and they helped me figure out how I needed to install it, after disassembling it.

This thing is awesome. I have the nano also and The xtra features on this make it worth the extra money. The find mode alone is worth it. I lost a $400 quad in a residential area before I got this with a diversity RX.

Dont have to worry about that any more. You cant get find mode on the nano so save your money up and get the standard TX it will pay for itself one day.
