Radiomaster Pocket ELRS Radio Controller | Compact FPV Transmitter | The FPV Project

The Radiomaster Pocket ELRS is RadioMaster’s most compact radio controller — a palm-sized 2.4GHz transmitter with internal ExpressLRS, hall-effect gimbals, and EdgeTX pre-installed from the factory. Available here in Charcoal, it delivers the same open-source firmware experience as larger RadioMaster radios in a package small enough to fit in a jacket pocket. Whether you’re a beginner looking for an affordable first radio or an experienced pilot wanting a capable travel backup, the Pocket ELRS covers both.

Why choose the Radiomaster Pocket ELRS?

The Pocket sits below the TX12 MKII in RadioMaster’s lineup — smaller, lighter, and more affordable, but with the same internal ELRS module, hall-effect gimbals, and EdgeTX firmware. The trade-off is a smaller display and fewer physical switches compared to the TX12 MKII, but for pilots flying cinewhoops, micro quads, or just wanting a travel radio, those compromises are easy to accept. Pair it with our flight controller and AIO range for a complete FPV setup.

Key features

Internal ExpressLRS 2.4GHz — 250mW

Built-in ELRS module transmitting at up to 250mW (24dBm) — no external module needed out of the box. ELRS delivers ultra-low latency and long-range link performance far beyond older 2.4GHz protocols, with control distances exceeding 2km at 20dBm.

EdgeTX pre-installed

Ships with EdgeTX firmware pre-installed and configured. EdgeTX is the leading open-source RC transmitter firmware — update anytime via USB or the included SD card. RadioMaster is an official EdgeTX Gold Partner.

Hall-effect gimbals

Magnetic hall-effect gimbals provide better centre-point accuracy, improved temperature stability, and longer service life than pot-based gimbals — the same gimbal technology found in significantly more expensive radios.

Compact and travel-friendly

Folded dimensions of 156.6×65.1×125.3mm and 288g make the Pocket genuinely pocketable. Foldable antenna and removable stick ends make it easy to pack into a bag without risking damage during transport.

Nano module bay

Standard Nano-size external module bay supports RadioMaster Nano modules, TBS Nano Crossfire, and TBS Nano Tracer — future-proofing the radio for other RF protocols if needed.

Built-in LED indicators

LED lights visualise switch inputs at a glance — useful for confirming arm switches and flight mode changes without looking at the display.

USB-C QC3.0 charging

Two USB-C ports — one for PC connection and simulator use, one for fast charging the 18650 batteries via QC3.0. Dual port design means you can charge and connect to a simulator simultaneously.
