After going through a few "toy" radios (with many mods along the way) I finally bought my Taranis and
have never regretted it.
It is bristling with more knobs and switches than any one model would ever use,
but I also fly other things besides quads too, so I wanted the ability to get creative without running out of options.
What some of the best features of the radio are though is that is is "future proof" being that is uses "Open TX" so
it can be endlessly updated as improvements in software continue to be created.
I like that it actually talks to you (as well as having haptic feedback (vibrates in your hands) for more urgent notifications), which can be a hobby it's self coming up with ways to make it give you different verbal notifications, in different voices, for different instances that come about while flying. For example, as my battery becomes more and more low, the sexy sounding voice of "Amber" goes from a casual mention, to a stern warning, after which "Yoda" tells me I need to land immediately
(in his own peculiar way of course).
It can hold individual setting, pictures, and adjustments for more models than you'll ever own, which can also be expanded
upon with the use of an SD Memory Card.
It has a module bay built into it that you can plug in adapters to control absolutely any protocol out there, from the
"toy" quads up to the "TBS Crossfire" super long range UHF control.
On just about ANY YouTube video you'll ever watch were some one who's serious about the hobby is letting you
see their radio (including world class racers), you'll notice that it's a Taranis ... That right there tells you something too
