It's finally here, the iFlight Commando 8 with fully integrated iFlight ExpressLRS hardware! No additional external module necessary to run ELRS. If you're planning to run another TX module, please checkout the optional add-on external module bay.
ExpressLRS TX modules developed in close cooperation with the ExpressLRS Team with firmware targets already released.
Remember this is an Open Source Project and therefore free to use for everyone. If you want to support the Developers, please consider donating: https://opencollective.com/expresslrs
HIGHLIGHTS
- Internal iFlight ExpressLRS (ELRS) transmitter (additional fan for cooling)
- Market's lowest crystal frequency deviation (low packet loss, high frequency stability)
- Highest quality digital hall sensor gimbals for maximum precision
- High-performance PCB Single and Dual Band (900/2400MHz) radio antenna
- Inbuilt 4000mAh for up to 20h power (2x 2000mAh 18650 batteries)
- Stock EdgeTX firmware with pre-installed Lua scripts
- Several Gimbal Stick Ends available (stock 18mm)
BAND OPTIONS
The 900MHz as well as 2400MHz band have outstanding performance and long range capabilities. If you're not sure what to get, please checkout the official ELRS Long Range Competition to see what has been achieved. https://www.expresslrs.org/2.0/info/long-range/
What can I expect? Due to local regulations, the 915MHz FCC region seems to have a better performance than the 868MHz EU region. The 2400MHz band works great in any region, has a higher packet rate up to 500hz. This is not a common 2400MHz protocol and cannot be compared to anything prior on the market.

Single ELRS option includes 1x ELRS TX module (please select band) pre-installed in the back of the radio
Cooling fan is inside the flat back cover

These props work great for me don't have to remove props because of space confinement. Fold out of way for easier transport and performance is not compromised.
I’ve had and loved the hummingbird line since my first project mocking bird brushed hummingbird. Then the the f4 pro followed by the v2 with elrs! And now this ditching the standalone vtx dropping weight adding higher kv motors than ever before. Personally I believe the hummingbirds fly better than their higher priced flagship brother the beebrain. Get one today you won’t regret it
