The TBS Tango 2 is the radio that started the "gamepad" revolution in FPV. It’s a compact, all-in-one controller with a built-in Crossfire module, meaning you don't have to mess with external modules to get long-range performance. It’s designed for pilots who want to throw their gear in a backpack and go, without worrying about snapping off long toggle switches or bulky antennas.

Product Description

TBS Tango 2 Radio Transmitters Version Standard / Pro Radio Protocol TBS Crossfire (Built-in) Style Gamepad

The Tango 2 is built around the idea of minimalism. While traditional radios are boxy and covered in fragile switches, the Tango 2 uses a rounded, ergonomic shape with low-profile rockers and buttons. It runs FreedomTX (a customized version of OpenTX), giving you all the advanced mixing and LUA script power of a full-sized radio in a much smaller frame.

Built-in Crossfire: This is the biggest selling point. The radio has a full-power Crossfire Micro TX integrated directly into the hardware. You get up to 1W of output power (on newer V3 boards) and the industry's lowest latency because the internal connection is more direct than an external module.
Full-Size Hall Gimbals: Despite the small body, TBS didn't compromise on the sticks. These are full-size, ball-bearing Hall effect gimbals that feel just as precise as those on a high-end desktop radio.
Tango 2 Pro vs. Standard: The Pro version features folding gimbal sticks. This allows the sticks to tuck into the body of the radio, making it completely flat for transport. The Pro also typically includes a velvet carry bag and a few extra accessories.
Built-in Battery: It uses a massive 5000mAh 1S internal battery charged via USB-C. You can easily get 8+ hours of flight time on a single charge, and you can even charge it from a power bank while you're in the field.

Technical Specifications:

Weight: 345g
Battery: 5000mAh 1S LiPo (Internal)
Charging: USB-C (2A rate)
Output Power: 25mW to 1W (V3 PCB) / 250mW (V2 PCB)
Display: 1.2” OLED (128 x 96)
Antenna: Swivel (doubles as a kickstand)
Switches: 2x 2-position, 2x 3-position (Rockers), 2x Momentary buttons
Operating System: FreedomTX (OpenTX fork)

The Pilot's Reality Check:

The "Rocker" Switches: If you're coming from a traditional radio, the switches on the Tango 2 feel weird at first. They are rocker-style (like a volume button) rather than toggles. They are nearly impossible to break, but they lack that satisfying "click" some pilots prefer for arming.
Screen Size: The OLED screen is tiny. It’s perfectly readable for checking battery voltage and link quality, but editing complex models or reading long LUA scripts can be a bit of a squint-fest.
PCB Versions: Check if you're getting the V3 PCB. The older V1/V2 boards were limited to 250mW. The V3 board allows for a 1W output and has a much brighter screen. Most new units sold in 2025/2026 are V3, but it's worth verifying.

🤔 Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the "Standard" and "Pro" versions?
The only functional difference is the gimbals. The Tango 2 Pro comes with folding gimbal sticks. This allows you to fold the sticks down flat so you can slide the radio into a backpack without needing a bulky protective case or "stick protectors." The internal electronics, battery, and range are exactly the same in both models.
Can I use this with other protocols like ELRS or Ghost?
Out of the box, it only speaks TBS Crossfire. However, there is an optional JR Module Adapter (sold separately) that you can screw onto the back. This allows you to plug in a Micro TX module for ELRS, Tracer, or even Multi-protocol modules if you want to fly older analog whoops.
Does it run OpenTX or EdgeTX?
It runs FreedomTX, which is a custom "fork" of OpenTX specifically optimized for the Tango 2's hardware. While it looks and feels like OpenTX, you can't use the standard OpenTX Companion software to manage it; you'll typically use TBS Agent Lite (a LUA script on the radio) or TBS Agent M on your computer for updates and configuration.
How do I charge it, and how long does the battery last?
It has a built-in 5000mAh 1S LiPo battery that charges via USB-C. You can expect roughly 8 hours of continuous flight time on a full charge. A great "smart" feature is that you can charge it while you're using it on a flight simulator or even while flying in the field using a power bank.
Why is the antenna shaped like a T-bar?
That is the TBS Diamond Antenna (internal version). It’s designed to provide a more uniform signal "bubble" around you compared to a traditional whip antenna. It also doubles as a kickstand—you can rotate it 90 degrees so the radio stays upright when you set it down on a table, keeping your gimbals out of the dirt.
