FrSky introduces its upgraded XE RS series tray-style transmitters. The XE RS series continues to target RC users who prefer tray-style operation with pinch control. It also offers a wide range of flexible switch input types and quantities, while the RS version incorporates new hardware improvements over the older units.

MC30R Series Gimbals – Capable of 3D/5D Gimbal Extenders

The MC30R series is all-CNC machined metal gimbal. Users can select from normal 2 axis sticks, 3 axis (aka 3D) and now a 5 axis version (aka 5D). 

All MC30R series gimbals allow multiple adjustments to be made directly through adjustment holes on the front panel, no need to disassemble the radio to adjust your gimbals. You can adjust X/Y-axis spring tension, ratchet feel, and Y-axis travel from 45° to 60°. Additionally, by using the X-axis limiter tool, users can achieve a 45° X-axis travel.

Dual Color-Screen Design with Upgraded 2.4-inch Screen Display

XE RS series features a dual-screen design, the main screen is a 4.3-inch color touch-screen, which is mainly used to operate the ETHOS model and device configurations.
The secondary smaller 2.4-inch color screen gets further enhanced visibility under sunlight compared to the original XE radios. The content displayed on the additional screen can be programmed (such as by Lua, configurable, and personalized by the user) in the system.

Modular Design And Flexible

TANDEM XE RS has been designed with flexibility in mind. It not only features multiple switch input slots for further extending the control needs, it also benefits from customizable switch blocks, which can also be replaced into different configurations.
Additional design features have been included to meet the needs of wider RC user communities, for example controlling the forward and reverse movement of RC excavators can be achieved by customizing the side CNC metal levers with the optional self-centering type. Likewise, using the optional 3D/5D extenders mounted on the gimbals offers many possibilities when used with RC ground vehicles or video systems. The XE series includes a foldable stand/frame which stashes away in the bottom of the radio body, and its design also provides a good solution to attach the tray radio strap.
