Product overview

The iFlight Commando 8 Pro Radio Transmitter supports long-distance flights, competitive racing and FPV simulator training. Dual Semtech LR1121 RF chips enable simultaneous 2.4GHz and 900MHz operation with 1W output per band. Gemini, True Diversity and Gemini Xrossband modes provide transmission options, while DK500 in DK mode sends identical packets on two frequencies simultaneously. FSK mode combines control and telemetry in one link for racing. Type-C wired and Bluetooth connections support simulator use with Liftoff, Velocidrone, DRL and Uncrashed.

The dark gray controller incorporates digital Hall gimbals, an STM32F407VET6 MCU and a temperature-compensated crystal oscillator. Two five-axis menu buttons provide OpenTX or EdgeTX control, alongside two non-momentary two-position switches and two three-position switches. Mode 1 and mode 2 adjustment requires a screwdriver adjustment at the rear rubber pad followed by an EdgeTX menu change, without disassembly. The onboard Backpack Module supports wireless VTX, LED, OSD and MAVLink menu functions. Battery life reaches up to 3 hours at 1W or around 6 hours at 100mW; PD 20W charging provides a full charge in 80 minutes. One transmitter is supplied.
