Motorola Mototrbo Radio Cost

The Motorola CLS - 1110 is a fine handheld radio. It has decent range and can be programmed so as not to interfere with other radio frequencies. More than the radio, however, I was totally sold on the customer service I got from B&H. It was as good as I could have imagined leaving no room to ask for more. Thanks-

The CLS-1110 2-way radio by Motorola is small, lightweight and easily accessible for my assisted living staff. If only there was a way to eliminate the protruding antenna (can easily get in the way), this would be the world's most perfect unit!

I have had several Moto phones throughout the years and Motorola has never disapointed.

I was somewhat concerned by other reviews about some quality control issues with these units. One out of four that I ordered did not communicate with the controllers in radio slave mode. I returned it and it was promptly replaced with one which did. I bought 2 kits with controllers, and 2 single units. Having seen some of this manufacturer's less expensive units I was happily surprised with how well-built these units are. While I don't for a moment discount the significance of a 25% (20%, if you count the replacement unit) failure rate (how can they stay in business at that rate?) I can also say that they do all they are advertised to do, at a fraction of the cost of other radio controlled units. At a cost of less than 1/6 of a name-brand unit, I can even afford to risk a failure (or accidental destruction) in one of these at a rate I could not sustain with the name brands. I have been able to work up a protocol for ganging them with my older Bolts (and presumably any other unit which will fire on an optical slave) which is efficient and gives me more functional units. It works even when the purely manual units are within a sealed environment such as a softbox designed for use with speedlights.

For the cost, and considering it's small size, this is a great radio. It brings in stations on both AM and FM clearly that were at best marginal with our other radios. The sound is crisp and clear. A bargain. Don VD

There's probably no need to repeat what every other 5 star review has said about this drone, so I'll talk about the economics of this purchase. When you add up the sum of the parts, the numbers get closer together for purchasing this kit. Beside the drone that sports 3 lenses and many options for still and video capture, the other best part of the kit is the radio. It's powerful, easy to use with a little practice, and with a battery that will last through many drone battery changes. The screen, although the same size as the less expensive screened radio, somehow seems more easily read. Buttons needed for ease of operation are at your fingertips. Weight seems lighter than the last one I used with the Air 2s kit, so that's also a plus. Cost of the radio purchased separately, $1,200. I couldn't really compute the credit for not purchasing the drone with the standard radio. The cost is out there but my guess is that it's around $250. The included ND filters are great to have and would cost another $100 if you can find them in-stock anywhere. Batteries, extra propellers, charger and such bump the cost up by $300 at least. Unlike the new Air 3 that just came out, this kit includes the ac/dc converter brick. So in summary, is the price of this kit economically sensible, not entirely. But, is it way more convenient, yup! You decide.

Plan to use these in our NOAH weather radio and my husband's FM radio headset. Wish they did not cost this much. Rechargeable batteries' charge begin to dissipate the moment they set in the drawer. When needed, not at full charge. Opted to try these instead. Have not used them yet.

We have a radio studio and often record guest interviews via phone. We knew there had to be a way to eliminate the cost of LAN lines, but all our searches came up emtpy. Then, we found the DAPTOR 3 - and it was perfect. Simple. Reliable. Great sound. We now record in studio via cell phone, save hundreds on the cost of LAN lines!

I am pleased with the slimmer size and switching from old Motorola to new was a breeze.

I have been using Motorola Phones for years but so far, this is the best one yet! I love the battery life more than anything.
