iFlight Commando 8 Pro GemX Dual-Band ELRS Radio

One radio, two RF bands, and far less reason to blame the link when the quad disappears behind concrete. The grey Commando 8 Pro combines 2.4GHz and 900/868MHz ExpressLRS through a dual-LR1121 system, with Gemini, True Diversity and Gemini Xrossband modes plus up to 1W output per band.

Key Highlights

  • GemX Dual-Band ExpressLRS: Dual LR1121 RF hardware supports 2.4GHz and 900/868MHz with two antennas, giving compatible ELRS setups several ways to balance update rate, redundancy and penetration.
  • Up to 1W Per Band: The internal transmitter reaches 30dBm on each supported band, with no bolt-on RF module needed for the built-in GemX system.
  • Compact Hall-Gimbal Control: High-precision digital Hall gimbals put accurate stick input into a 315g gamepad-style radio that is easier to carry than a full-size tray transmitter.
  • Bench and Simulator Friendly: USB-C wired and Bluetooth simulator connections make practice sessions possible without powering a quad or rearranging the entire bench.
  • 6400mAh Built-In Battery: Two integrated 3200mAh 18650 cells provide up to three hours at 1W or around six hours at 100mW. USB-C PD supports up to 20W and a full charge in approximately 80 minutes.
  • Built-In Backpack Module: Compatible ELRS backpack functions can link with supported VTX, LED, OSD and MAVLink equipment.

Why You Want It

The Commando 8 Pro is for pilots who like the portable gamepad shape but do not want to be locked to one RF band. At a noisy race field, around reinforced structures or on a long-range setup, the GemX hardware gives you compatible dual-band and diversity modes without hanging another module off the back. The Hall gimbals keep the control side precise, while the five-axis menu buttons and EdgeTX/OpenTX control layout keep model setup and field changes close to hand.
