I want to build my first quad and have read through many of the boards and posts. I would like to get an entry level transmitter that I can grow into, use on a practice quad or use as a companion for a 2nd quad when I get a Taranis down the road. I would like something that functions well and hopefully is flexible in matching it to different receivers.
I am open to other suggestions but I am considering:
1. Quanum i8 8ch 2.4GHZ AFHDS 2A Digital Proportional Radio System Mode 2 (Black) $59
2. Turnigy 9x/9XR Pro Radio $70
3. FlySky 9X with DJT transmitter module $90

4. Walkera Devo 7?
Is any one of these more up to date (or lacking) in being compatible with new components that it will have match up to?
or . . . is there just not a lot of value in the lower end transmitters - am I wasting my time and money on a lower end transmitter?
As a side item, are there any common cables or connectors I should stock up for building a quad if I can get them at a good price? https://store.3dr.com/t/clearance
Thanks for all of the effort put into this board - I am benefitting from it greatly. The way information is laid out for people wanting to start out is fantastic. I am learning a lot here and on http://blog.oscarliang.net/
