🎮 ‪@RadioMasterRC‬  Pocket
https://www.radiomasterrc.com/product...

The Radiomaster Pocket, the latest FPV controller. Priced at $65, it offers impressive build quality and solves previous battery life issues. It is the Best FPV Controller for Beginners who don't want to invest in a more expensive long term option. While it caters more towards thumb grip users, the Pocket is a solid option for travel or budget pilots. The gimbals may take some getting used to, but overall, it's a strong contender in the FPV market.

The latest FPV controller from Radiomaster is the Radiomaster Pocket. Priced at just $65, I've had the opportunity to use this radio for a few weeks now, and overall, I've been quite impressed with it. However, as with any product, it does have a few quirks that we'll be discussing.

First off, let's talk about the build quality of the Radiomaster Pocket. As expected from Radiomaster, the build quality is excellent. It feels solid and definitely exceeds its price point. The radio has a unique hybrid gamepad box style form factor, with the empty space in the middle being enclosed to house the main board. This design allows for the use of two 18650 batteries, which has solved the battery life issue that was present in previous models.

The Pocket is clearly targeted as a travel radio or a budget entry-level device. Despite its compact size, it can still be used even after upgrading to a higher-end radio like the Boxer or the TX16S. In terms of ergonomics, the Pocket seems to cater more towards thumb grip users, with buttons and switches falling naturally under the fingers. However, for hybrid or pinch grip pilots, the stick height and switch button placement may pose some issues.

Moving on to the gimbals and sticks, they are quite interesting on the Pocket. The stick ends are removable and can be stored at the back of the radio, but they are M3 sized, so you'll need an adapter to fit longer stick ends available for the DJI FPV Remote 2. The gimbals on the Pocket are smaller than what you'd typically find on other gamepad style radios, and they are called pocket gimbals. While they may take some getting used to due to their shorter travel distance, they are not necessarily a deal breaker, especially for those using this as a travel radio or as their first radio.

It's worth noting the similarities between the Radiomaster Pocket and the DJI FPV Remote 2. From the mirrored button and switch layout to the foldable antenna and nano gimbals, there's definitely some inspiration taken from DJI. The Pocket comes in two versions: CC2500 for FreeSky and an ExpressLRS version. The ExpressLRS version is recommended, as it offers more power and full ELRS support.

Additionally, Radiomaster offers different colored shells for personalization, allowing you to make the Pocket your own. Overall, I believe that the Radiomaster Pocket is a solid package, perfect as a second radio or for travellers. Even for beginners on a budget, the value it offers is undeniable. Despite its quirks, it is certainly a real contender in the FPV market.
