Default RE: New Micro Seeker?

Ah, you're right, I missed the weight.

But "smallest"? Nope.

Measure 2" X 1 1/8" X 7/16" very small
FMA M5:
Size: 1.67x0.80x0.58 - that's noticeably smaller in every dimention
Weight: 0.40oz -> 11grams, lighter by a good margin as well.

Of course the M5 is only 5 channels, compared to the new Seeker's 6, and the one you mention is 8. So, let's compare another 8 channel:

FMA Quantum 8:
Size: 1.87x1.00x0.58 - again, noticeably smaller in all dimentions.
Weight: 0.50 - again, lighter.

And getting back to the subject of this thread, the new Seeker:
Size 1.5x.875x.5 - Hmm, smaller in every dimention
Weight: .5oz - lighter.

Plus, there is the open question of support for that RX. And, fwiw, I'm always HIGHLY skeptical about anyone and any product that gets pushed out of the blue in a thread that had nothing to do with it. I'm not saying it's a bad product, I just don't know anything about it, and the website is short on details. But claiming to be the "smallest, lightest" when they clearly aren't even close, well, how any other claims on there fall in to the same category?
