Five months ago JB uploaded a video with this exact title. Some time has passed since then so we should have some anecdotal evidence suggesting which one is best.  Please share your experience with ELRS.

I have the HappyModel ES24TX, even if I have my reservations about the quality based on previous experiences with other HM HW, I am very happy with the TX and RX.

Im currently running:
- TX 16s with ES24TX
- RX: HM EP2
- RX: HM EP1
- RX: BetaFPV Nano RX
- RX: Matek Diversity for my midrange rig

Im waiting for my RM Zorro with ELRS to be shipped.

I would save off of my research and what most people say the Namimno module with the OLED screen and the Joystick is the best module because ELRS 2.1 supports both of those features instead of having to use an split of ELRS. The Matek ceramic antenna receiver is very good quality and the ceramic antenna is extremely compact and has great range.

Seems to me build quality is in the lap of the gods currently, with all makers fighting sometimes erratic quality against the low price they can ask, and getting their products to market in the pandemic before their sales are blunted by others.

Unhelpful I know, as not an answer, but after a lot of fence sitting I have pre-ordered the Namimno set of Tx and three Rx. Who knows what I will think when received!

Frankly after EVERY item I have bought from BetaFPV being found wanting and not supported, and seeing others in similar situations, I'd never buy from them again.

Happymodel with me have had a so so result, I have two good Mobula 6's, extremely pleaseed with them, but the Mobula7 HD was a pain in the rear and in the end the retailer had to bail me out on it and no doubt took the loss themselves. Equally I know two others who have had bad results with their Mobula6's.

I guess I will buy the Matek ELRS 2.4 GHz TX module once available 

Right now, I think the most recommended modules would be from HappyModel, Namimno, and Matek.

If I were starting out now, I'd get the HappyModel ES24TX Pro/Slim Pro or Namimno Micro TX, and HappyModel EP1, EP2, or Matek receivers as appropriate.

This thread is 2 years old.. I swear a new module has been released since then…
I’m in the market for one, any ones I should look at or avoid?

There are lots of choices these days, and I believe the TX modules are pretty mature so there are no longer firmware/compatibility issues. Best to check on the ELRS discord.
The RadioMaster Ranger module is one option and does one watt, and the combo comes with 3 rxs for $60.

I actually posted about this in your other thread but BadRaven made a comment about "getting back on topic" as you only mentioned that you would need a ELRS module as a side note, it was not the title of the thread. I took it personally so I deleted my post. What I don't understand is that it was not his thread to state such...

I will now restate here that I have been using the Happymodel ES24TX Pro for about a year and have had no problems and am quite satisfied with it.
I also mentioned that the output power goes up to 1000Mw (1 watt).

I just ordered another ES24TX Pro module a couple of days ago as I have a Mobula8 HDZero on the way that has ELRS 3 on it and I do not want to update all my quads to version 3 at the moment, so I will have one module with version 3, and the original module on version 2. It only takes a few moments to swap out modules.

You could buy a second radio, Brett. Redundancy and all that.

I don't use external modules, but if I was going to try one, then maybe that BetaFPV Gemini that GiantAntCowboy linked the other day, paired with a HM TCXO Diversity receiver. I don't need one as my radio (on paper) already does 1W if I want it to (but seldom uses more than 100mW for the flying I do). Mainly I would be getting it to explore the diversity functionality.

I am obtaining the HDzero mob 6 also. Hence the reason for the ELRS…looking at phasing out all my Frsky RXs …. Started to use crossfire, but at $30 a pop and only one (that I’ve seen) whoop board with a crossfire rx… ELRS apparently is paving a good path.
I’ve been seeing some people having difficulty binding the new HDzero mob6 ELRS ..I’m guessing it is due to the ELRS version…so you are purchasing another module just so you don’t have to update your other ELRS RXs? I Can easily understand this if u had to remove it from the craft, wire it to your controller, to update (Frsky)..I was under the impression ELRS RXs could be (easily) updated via wireless (Bluetooth -Wi-Fi).. have I missed something ?
As for the module, I believe the Betafpv was the latest to release theirs since this thread was started..

I am not a good example here for receiver I so much prefer the ELRS receiver built into the AIO e.g  Flywoo Flight Controller F405 12A AIO with build-in ELRS it uses the u.FL/IPX connector with detachable antenna -- the latest stuff from Happy model with the just the copper antenna soldered seems to work good as well.

For the transmitter I have 2 Jumper T-pro Radios, one is a 4in1 purchased before they released the version with the built in ELRS and it has the Aion2.4TX module Max power is 500mW, I run that at only 250mW, the other Radio is T Pro V2 and has built in ELRS 1W, I only run that at 500mW. I many use the T Pro V2 and with built in ELRS. ELRS has been a massive advancement for the hobby.

The first generation of AIOs came with SPI ELRS (some whoop boards still do), but there the ELRS firmware is baked into BF and tied to the BF version (4.3 and lower = ELRS 2.x, 4.4 up = ELRS 3.x). I have a lot of those boards so have stayed on ELRS2 as I did not want to go back an updated BF on all of them. The UART ELRS boards however will let you update the ELRS firmware independently, either by wifi or using BF passthru. If you are just getting into ELRS then simply stay with 3.x as the majority of what you get these days will come with 3.x and if it comes with 2.x, you can follow some steps to upgrade it.

ELRS has dynamic power, so a 1 watt module can be set to ramp up only when needed and save your quad from failsafing. Typically 25mw is plenty for ELRS, but for AIOs where antennas often just a simple wire and easily hidden/blocked, the radio may ramp up to 500mw. But if you are flying mostly whoops and not out too far, getting an inexpensive ELRS radio (pocket, t-lite, etc) that usually have lower max power is fine and worth considering if you like small light radios.

Damn, that’s right I TOTALLY forgot about the spi based ELRS RXs… that’s why they went to a uart based rx..
Makes sense with just using a dedicated module on the older firmware with the spi based RXs .

Actually I kind of liked the SPI solution. Usually these are F411 boards, meaning only two UARTS available. If have the RX on serial, then that leaves just a measly one UART. With the SPI boards you have an extra one available, plus you can also initiate bind or set pass phrase with configurator and not need to fuss with flashing the RX firmware. But those were the old days, now with the more resource hungry 4.4 and newer 3.x (set passphrase by wifi), I guess most people would prefer the serial version.

And by the way if you are looking to convert your fleet, there are HM EP1/2 and Betafpv Nano RXs on sale at Ali for under $10 now.
