This professional-grade RM3100 compass/magnetometer has impeccable signal-to-noise ratios, no drift, and precise magnetic field measurements. It can provideprofessional-grade heading accuracy and orientation calculations for your vehicle. With this compass, your vehicle can navigate through waypoints with little magnetic disturbance due to motor coils and metal parts. You can achieve the best result by placing this module far away from motor coils and other metal parts, getting rid of one of the largest points of failure on your unmanned vehicle.
This 3-axis magnetometer, based on PNI’s proprietary magneto-inductive technology, delivers high-performance resolution and repeatability. It has a very high level of resolution (10 nT) and ultra-low magnetic hysteresis, making it perfect for applications that require high heading accuracy.
With its DroneCAN output protocol, it can deliver robust and reliable connectivity over relatively large distances, and wiring is less complicated as you can have a single bus for connecting all your DroneCAN peripherals. It also does not occupy any serial ports on the flight controller.

I wanted something that was packable and easy to take with. Got tired of needing to pack a large radio, neck straps, and all of the needed padding to just fly my whoops when traveling. This radio is so much easier to throw in a bag and fly with. Coming from a Taranis X9D plus, the pocket is a lot lighter and easier to carry. Gimbals feel good and it’s comfortable when holding. It’s the first small radio I tried that I was able to feel comfortable with. Compared to Zorro and TX12, the Pocket feels a lot more balanced. Highly recommended as a travel or only radio if you want something light and easy to carry.
Some downsides:
1. Arming/disarming takes a bit to get used to since there are not traditional switches.
2. Even though there are 5 position switches for the trims, you can’t use the center press as a switch like Jumper
3. The case is glossy, I wish it was more textured like DJI radios for better grip.
4. The speaker makes a buzzing sound when powered on and sometimes switching things in menus.
Otherwise great radio that’s easy to fly and live with.
I flew drones yrs ago. I dabbled in all types of drones from tiny whoops to 4 inch freestyle/acro quads to cine dji. Good beginner starter bundle. Definitely worth the $.
