FpV drone radio: Radiomaster TX16S MK3 review: The remote that finally nabbed everything


This is a companion topic for our recent blog post on blog.unmanned.tech

The new RadioMaster TX16S MK3 has arrived, and it’s not just the same old drudgery in a shiny new shell. This full redesign boasts some serious hardware—think STM32H7 performance, a 5” IPS touchscreen, and dual LR1121 chips for all your 868/900MHz and 2.4GHz needs. Yes, it supports Gemini X without the cumbersome dongles, so you can finally stop pretending those were a good idea.

On the ergonomics front, they’ve clearly done their homework. The TX16S MK3 features AGO2 gimbals with LED rings that are adjustable per model (because who doesn’t love a bit of personalised flair?), and programmable buttons now sit where they should—right under your nose, rather than playing hide and seek. Add in some smart battery management and USB-C charging, and you’ve got yourself a controller that thinks it’s the bee’s knees.

For those wondering about the nitty-gritty, it’s built for the versatile pilot, whether you’re flying drones, planes, or even the occasional boat (though we recommend keeping it away from the tea). And if you fancy giving this marvel a whirl, you can nab one from Unmanned Tech.
