I want this exact thing but without that ridiculously oversized display sticking out another 40% of the radio’s height… Wish they just used that empty space in the bottom for the display. This looks like a terrible waste of bag space.
I like this TX for being different than others. Somehow reminds me FrSky Horus X series because of the screen position.
But personally I prefer T-Pro to Zorro design ??
Definitely has a Horus vibe to it ??
And yeah I agree T-Pro does look good, if they offer an ELRS-only version without that ginormous antenna, that will be a winner.
BetaFPV LiteRadio 3 it is ??
We see the waterfall of gamepad style radios in the end of the 2021. Just wait for the iFlight to release their radio controller which looks surprisingly similar to the Jumper T-Pro!
Oh wow, they are even going with the same DJI FPV Controller v2 colors as Jumper ??
