TX16S worth it, or should I just get a Pocket?
I got a complete 2015-spec 5" drone and required gear from a friend a while back, and am slowly upgrading it to current standards. (It'll eventually be a drone of Theseus and I'll have two drones)
For compatibility with a new flight controller, I'll need a new receiver and radio. My Devo 7 with its PWM receiver won't cut it. I'm set on ELRS as that's what people seem to recommend above all. When my vacation money comes in soon, I could easily afford a TX16S. However, it costs 260 euro here, while a Pocket costs 95, and I'd rather not waste money if I don't need it.
I quite like the feel of a large form factor radio, but I'm sure I could adapt to a smaller one - is there much to be gained from the TX16S over the Pocket other than the larger gimbals?
