TBS CROSS FIRE TX LITE
A new era of connectivity
TBS CROSSFIRE is a long range R/C link based on the latest RF technology, which can self-heal two-way communication and go beyond understanding. With -130dB sensitivity, full RF side diveristy, small receivers for FPV quads, TBS CROSSFIRE contains the latest technology to provide superior long range control link.
Remote control links, however, have a much larger task. Latency, telemetry, interference resistance, smart device connectivity, ease of use, and overall finish are all too often sacrificed for that last bit. The Crossfire has a wide range and uses that margin for added functionality and reliability. A bright future for FPV is upon us :)
Developed by experts
The BlackSheep team has been known for long-range records, close-to-ground flying in the Alps, and deep urban operations. During our many missions around the world, we have collected a list of requirements and found that no existing system can meet them all. So we embarked on a long and painful journey to develop an RC link system entirely from scratch, testing it for over a year to ensure reliability and cutting-edge functionality.
The OLED display on the transmitter allows you to monitor the drone’s real-time position (TBS GPS or BlackBox with DJI Naza or APM-based GPS required). Uplink and downlink status provides a sense of security, and configuration options via the OLED display eliminate any PC-based configuration tools. The pulsing LED displays the link budget and link status in color (green = steady, orange = rotating). In the event of a crash, the drone’s position is also visible on the OLED. The built-in battery on the receiver automatically turns it into a beacon – and it will continue to transmit its last known position until the battery runs out.
It just works
Besides the unmatched range, the thing we are most proud of about the TBS CROSSFIRE is that it works. In the past, our question was always “could our R/C link keep up?”. With the TBS CROSSFIRE, you can do just that. But don’t take our word for it. All the major drone racing organizers require pilots to fly the TBS Crossfire. All the top drone pilots fly the TBS Crossfire. The furthest long-range missions are flown with the TBS Crossfire. This is the long-range link everyone has been waiting for!
Telemetry / CRSF
As a modern R/C link, it has built-in telemetry. Two-way communication opens up new possibilities. From firmware updates, setting the video transmitter channel to adjusting flight control parameters like PIDs. Adaptive bandwidth controls the transmission speed or optimizes for maximum range. CRSF is a proprietary TBS communication protocol between Crossfire and R/C and Flight Control. It provides ultra-low latency with incredible bandwidth (3x faster, 6x more data than any comparable protocol!). With tight integration, TBS Crossfire is the logical choice for anyone flying Betaflight, KiSS or ArduPilot/Pixhawk platforms.

Under the 24-month Legal Guarantee, Drone24Hours is responsible to the consumer for any defects in conformity that cannot be detected at the time of purchase.
The lack of conformity exists when the product is not suitable for the use for which it is normally intended, does not conform to the description or does not possess the qualities promised by the seller, does not offer the qualities and performances usual for a good of the same type, is not suitable for the particular use desired by the consumer if brought to the attention of the seller at the time of purchase and accepted by the seller (art. 129 of the Consumer Code).
Any lack of conformity which becomes apparent within 24 months of the date of purchase of the goods must be reported within 2 months of the date of discovery of the defect.
Unless proven otherwise, it is presumed that any lack of conformity that becomes apparent within 6 months of delivery of the goods already existed on that date. In the event of a lack of conformity, the consumer has the right to have the conformity of the goods restored, free of charge, by repair or replacement (art. 130 of the Consumer Code).
The consumer may ask, at his choice, the seller to repair the goods or replace them, free of charge in both cases, unless the requested remedy is objectively impossible or excessively expensive compared to the other. Repairs or replacements must be carried out within a reasonable time from the request of the Consumer; the average time for returning the product to the Consumer is 20 days.
If Drone24hours is unable to return the repaired product within the maximum period of 60 days, the consumer may request one of the alternative remedies (replacement, termination of the contract, price reduction).
Drone24Hours will send the product for any repairs to the Technical Assistance Center authorized by the Manufacturer.
What happens if the Service Center does not find the lack of conformity?
If the lack of conformity is not found, Drone24Hours will communicate the estimate to the Customer, who can decide whether or not to carry out the repair at his own expense. In this case, any transport costs and diagnosis of the defect requested by the Assistance Center will be borne by the Customer.
