    radiomaster boxer is the absolute GOAT. High quality hall gimbals, an extremely powerful 1W elrs broadcasting unit, just enough screen, and fair price tag.
    the internals are all jst connectors and really well labeled, if it needs repairs or upgrades in the future it is really easy to work on.
    the pocket is the budget best / perfect starter.

    You made me see why i probably need 2 controllers in the future.
    1 Big with all the bells and whistles, 1 small that you can easy drop in a backpack.
    One thing i'm wondering
    Why did you leave firmware like edgetx and elrs module support out of the question?
    It was a long way to find out this is everything my radio needs.

    I have been using a Frsky X18S on all my quads for the last two years and it has been amazing. It ticks all the boxes you mentioned but instead of using EdgeTX it uses Ethos as an operating system wich is so much more intuitive and easy to use.
    I think some of the newer radio's from Frsky are a great choice for FPV and are often overlooked in this category. The X18 and the X14 for example are reasonably priced, have great ergonomics and the build quality is better then any Radiomaster product in my opinion.

    Love this list, but for some radios (especially DJI) I feel it would be super useful to introduce another rule: Customizability/Good OS; I can not overstate just how big of a difference it is going from a radio with no OS (BFPV/DJI controllers) to a radio like the Pocket, Boxer, or TX16S with a full fledged OS.

    As hobby electronics view, I think the seperate USB-C ports makes for a 'safer' project. These batteries can be dangerous and giving them their own charging track allows for beefier protection simplier than the cost of the port. It meets a price point with a better quality result. Maybe? :)

    One of the best purchases I ever made was the RadioMaster Pocket. Ever since I got it, I have hardly ever used my much more expensive RadioMaster TX16S anymore. And even when I do, the TX16S feels heavy and clumsy now. Also I twice broken the gimbals on the TX16S and each time the expense to get a new gymbal was more that what I paid for the brand new RM Pocket.

      It's the same for me! Can't recommend it enough. The only slight disadvantage was using the button for arming, since disarming took longer initially, but by inverting the button you can disarm just as fast as with a switch.

    I feel like the size should be considered a minus, the bigger the controller the heavier and less portable it is, and less likely you are to actually bring and use it day to day. Strange that there isn't anything ultra minimalistic and lightweight or foldable in some way, only focusing on having decent sized gimbals.
