Description

The upgraded iFlight Commando 8 is here, equipped with fully integrated iFlight ExpressLRS hardware, a Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillator, and an improved cooling system. The inclusion of a Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillator further enhances the drone's performance. These enhancements not only improve the drone's performance and reliability but also provide a more enjoyable and seamless flight experience for drone enthusiasts.
No additional external module is needed to run ELRS. If you plan to run any other TX module, please check out the optional additional external module bay.
ExpressLRS TX modules have been developed in close cooperation with the ExpressLRS team with firmware targets already released.

Features

Internal iFlight ExpressLRS (ELRS) transmitter (additional fan and aluminum foil for cooling)
Backpack function
Newly upgraded Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillator (lower packet loss, high-frequency stability)
Highest quality digital Hall sensor gimbals for maximum precision
High-performance single-band PCB radio antennas (900/2400MHz)
Inbuilt 4000mAh for up to 20h of power (2x2000mAh 18650 batteries)
Stock EdgeTX firmware with pre-installed Lua scripts
Multiple gimbal stick ends available (stock 18mm)

Upgrade from v1

1. Commando 8 v2 adds Backpack function. Please refer to the following article for backpack function: https://www.expresslrs.org/hardware/backpack/esp-backpack/
2. Cooling function upgrade.
3. Crystal oscillator upgrade: upgraded from ordinary active crystal oscillator to TCXO (temperature compensated crystal oscillator), which can improve the frequency error problem.
4. Antenna mode upgrade: ELRS 2.4GHz RX module has been upgraded from single antenna mode to antenna diversity mode.
5. Antenna change: The antenna of ELRS 2.4GHz V2 has been changed from a 2.4GHz single-frequency antenna to a 2.4GHz single-frequency dual antenna; the ELRS 915 V2 antenna remains unchanged.

Performance and Compatibility

Please use iFlight ELRS receivers paired with our transmitter for maximum performance! We have probably achieved the best crystal frequency stability on the market at a very low frequency deviation. Please check out this article for more information https://www.expresslrs.org/hardware/crystal-frequency-error/?h=crystal+frequency

Band Options

Both 900MHz and 2400MHz bands have outstanding performance and long-range capabilities. If you are unsure what to get, please check out 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 FCC 915MHz region seems to have better performance than the EU 868MHz region. The 2400MHz band performs great in any region, and has a higher packet rate up to 500hz. This is not a common 2400MHz protocol and cannot be compared to anything on the market.

ELRS Only Option (Single TX)

Single ELRS option includes 1x ELRS 2.4GHz/915MHz V2 TX module (please select band) pre-installed in the radio back. Cooling fan is inside the flat back cover. Single band or dual-band antenna option (for future upgrades or module changes).
