Available in 4in1 and ELRS versions 

Here are the tips for you to choose 4in1 or ELRS, reviews by OscarLiang

"If you can’t decide between ELRS and 4in1, I’d probably go for the ELRS version. It’s going to be the major RC protocol in the near future as it’s so powerful and affordable, with a wide range of tiny and inexpensive ELRS receivers available.

One reason to get the 4in1 is if you only want to use other protocols such as Frsky D8/D16, but these are kind of obsolete and slowly phasing out. Or if you are buying an external ELRS module for the radio, then it also makes sense to get the 4in1 as you don’t want to have another ELRS module onboard doing nothing. "

FCC Version and EU LBT Version are Available

Currently, we provide the standard FCC version and the EU LBT version. Please check the supported protocols below.

Standard FCC Version

• 4in1 (FCC) Version supports all MPM protocols
• ELRS (FCC) is pre-installed with ExpressLRS ISM FW (Max power is hardware dependant)

• ELRS LBT (Europe) Version is pre-installed with ExpressLRS CE EU domain LBT FW (Limited to 100mw power output)

Optional V4.0 Hall Gimbals and AG01 Gimbals

V4.0 HALL GIMBALS

Standard version with V4.0 Hall Gimbals, same chipset as the AG01, optimized hall sensor circuitry, improves center point positioning and temperature stability. Stick travel, self-centering and stick tension are now externally adjustable. 

AG01 GIMBALS

AG01 Gimbal is fully CNC milled for ultimate precision with quad ball bearings for a smooth and precise feel. Featuring front-accessible tension and travel adjustment for easy fine-tuning.
