Eachine TX16S: An Alternative Multiprotocol RF System

Multiprotocol hardware from Eachine

Eachine TX16S is a kind of iter­a­tion of the pop­u­lar RadioMas­ter TX16S 16-chan­nel mul­ti-pro­to­col con­trol equip­ment in the hob­by, which, like its coun­ter­part, will allow you to com­bine most of your remotes in one device, but already sold under the brand of a devel­op­er of mid-bud­get radio-con­trolled mod­els and com­po­nents no less famous in the hob­by him — Eachine. The mod­el received a stan­dard pack­age of options and is offered to the con­sumer as anoth­er alter­na­tive to solu­tions already exist­ing on the mar­ket. As usu­al, let’s start with the key fea­tures of the nov­el­ty.

Appearance

In-Place Stick Adjustment

Every­thing is inge­nious­ly sim­ple and prac­ti­cal — DJI should def­i­nite­ly pay atten­tion to this approach. Screws (1) and (4) are used to lim­it the trav­el of the stick where turn­ing it clock­wise will increase its trav­el and coun­ter­clock­wise will decrease it. Screw (2) adjusts the force on the ver­ti­cal axis, (5) on the hor­i­zon­tal. The screw (3) allows you to acti­vate and deac­ti­vate stick cen­ter­ing.

Price

The Eachine TX16S con­trol equip­ment is avail­able for pur­chase on var­i­ous Inter­net trad­ing plat­forms for a price of $190.
