TBS Crossfire Transmitter (TX)

Product description

A new era of connectivity

The TBS CROSSFIRE is a long range R / C link based on the latest RF technology, capable of self-healing two-way communication and range beyond comprehension. With a sensitivity of -130dB, full RF-side diveristy rather than just antenna-diversity, the features already implemented and the future upgrades to make the TBS CROSSFIRE the long range control link worthy of our times.

Remote control left, however, are tasked with much more than range. Telemetry, robustness against interference, connectivity with smart devices, ease of use and overall finish are often overlooked to achieve the last bit of range. The end result is often strange behavior, lack of reliability, or simply things that were never envisioned and thus not possible. Let's kiss those days goodbye, and move on to a brighter future :)

Developed by Experts

Team BlackSheep has been notorious for long range records, close-to-ground proximity flying in the Alps and deep urban operations. During this time, the RC link system is completely scratched, put it through its features for a top-notch reliability and state-of-the-art functionality.

Through the OLED display on the transmitter, you can monitor the real-time location of your drone (TBS GPS or BlackBox with DJI Naza or APM-based GPS required). The up and downlink status provides a feeling of safety, the configuration options through the OLED display with any PC-based configuration tools. The pulsing LED relays your link budget and link health in colorized form (green = keep going, orange = turn around). In case of a crash, the location of the drone is visible on the OLED as well. The built in battery on the receiver turns into a beacon automatically - and it will continue to transmit to the battery.

It Just Works

Apart from unparalelled maximum range, the thing that we're proud of on the TBS CROSSFIRE is that it just works. In the past, our question was "what could our R / C link keep up?" Many missions were aborted, or were not flown, due to premature failure of the R / C link. Once we switched to the CROSSFIRE, all of these problems were gone. As long as we had video, we had control. And when the video was gone, we still had control - and telemetry. With the TBS CROSSFIRE comes peace of mind.
