RadioMaster Pocket Radio Controller ELRS Version (Transparent) 2.4GHz EdgeTX

A pocketable radio with full-size capability

The RadioMaster Pocket is a small, lightweight radio that, as the maker puts it, packs a big punch. This is the ELRS version in a transparent shell, weighing 288 g and measuring 156.6 x 65.1 x 125.3 mm folded. It has removable stick ends and a foldable antenna, so it stows away easily.

Under the shell it runs EdgeTX, has Hall-effect gimbals, a backlit 128x64 monochrome LCD, LED lights that show switch positions, and trim buttons. Up to 16 control channels are supported.

Power, radio link and expansion

The Pocket takes two 18650 cells, which are not included, and has built-in USB-C charging with QC3 support. The internal RF is ELRS at 2.4 GHz, and it runs on 6.6 to 8.4 V DC. If you later want another long-range link, the nano-size external module bay is compatible with RadioMaster nano modules and the TBS Nano Crossfire and Nano Tracer.

The package includes a custom carry pouch, a USB-C cable, a screen protector, a sticker, four low-tension springs and a manual.

Who should choose it

Whoop, cinewhoop and freestyle pilots, travellers, and anyone who wants a radio that is easy to carry to a field will enjoy the Pocket. If you like large radios with a lot of switches, a full-size model may feel roomier. Remember to buy the batteries, since none come with the radio.

Getting started

Charge the two 18650 cells, drop them into the battery tray with the polarity the tray shows, and power the radio on. EdgeTX is already installed, so the first job is to create a model, calibrate the gimbals from the setup menu, and bind your ExpressLRS receiver using the ELRS script or the bind option. Keep the screen protector on from the start, since the radio is designed to be carried around and will pick up scratches in a bag.
