UPGRADED DISPLAY AND COMPONENTS & 45°/60° TRAVEL-ADJUSTABLE MC18 GIMBALS

The X18RS features an upgraded 800 × 480 resolution screen with excellent sunlight visibility. Primary components, including trim caps and knobs, are crafted from metal, ensuring rugged quality and enhanced durability for outdoor use. The MC18 gimbals, CNC-machined from metal, can be adjusted to a 45° travel position from the default 60° setup straight out of the box.

UPGRADED ROBUST ANTENNA HANDLE & EXTERNAL LORA ANTENNA CONNECTORS

The newly upgraded antenna handle offers enhanced impact resistance, making it ideal for tough outdoor conditions. The reinforced, thickened antenna casing provides a more comfortable grip without compromising performance. In fact, the redesigned antenna transmits signal data more effectively, offering pilots a more reliable flying control experience. The X18RS is also equipped with two external antenna connectors, allowing the addition of 2.4G and 900M antennas to further enhance RF capabilities in LoRa modes, achieving improved long-range control.

TD-ISRM RS RF PERFORMANCE

With solid performance based on the dual-band 900M/2.4G RF signal link and multiple operating combinations of RF modes, the TANDEM X18RS is equipped with the built-in TD-ISRM RS RF module, which supports multiple protocols (such as TW, TD, etc.). The TD-ISRM RS RF module features dual 2.4G TW RF mode and supports simultaneous operation under ACCESS 2.4G and R9 modes. In this configuration, the ACCESS 2.4G and R9 receivers can be connected via the SBUS IN/OUT ports to provide redundant backup. This further enhances the RF signal's reliability, particularly in long-distance RC operation scenarios.
