Key Applications and Projects

• Fixed-Wing and Heli Flying: Providing stable support for large, heavy 8+ channel transmitters during long thermal soaring or 3D helicopter flights.

• Drone Racing / FPV: Giving pilots a reliable tether so they can safely drop the controller to remove FPV goggles without putting the transmitter in the dirt.

• Camera Operating: Can be adapted to hold heavy DSLR cameras or gimbals that utilize a standard lanyard ring.

Unlock New Capabilities (Project Evolution)

• Custom Center-of-Gravity Balancing: The factory lanyard hook on many transmitters is not perfectly centered, causing the radio to awkwardly tilt forward or backward while hanging from your neck. Evolve your flight setup by pairing this strap with a CNC Aluminum Neck Strap Balancer. This small, multi-hole extension bracket bolts onto your transmitter and gives you multiple clip-in points for your Futaba strap, allowing you to fine-tune the center of gravity so your radio floats perfectly level when you let go of the sticks!

Package Includes: 

• 1 x Futaba Extra-Long Remote Control Strap (150cm x 2.5cm, Orange)

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)

1. What is this strap used for? It is worn around the neck to support the weight of a radio control (RC) transmitter, leaving your hands free to smoothly operate the joysticks.

2. Will this fit any brand of transmitter? Yes, as long as your transmitter has a metal loop or eyelet on the front face to attach the clip, this strap is universally compatible.

3. How long is the strap? This is an extra-long version, measuring approximately 150cm in total length, making it ideal for taller individuals.

4. How wide is the fabric? The strap is 2.5cm wide, which helps distribute the weight evenly across your neck.

5. How thick is the actual fabric? This strap features an upgraded thickness of 0.85mm for extra padding and comfort.

6. Is the length adjustable? Yes, it features a heavy-duty plastic adjustable buckle to easily change the hanging height of your controller.

7. What is the clip made of? The attachment point is a durable "metal dog buckle" (a spring-loaded swivel clip) that provides a secure connection.

8. Does the clip swivel? Yes, the metal dog buckle has a swivel base, preventing the lanyard fabric from getting twisted while you move around.

9. Is the strap comfortable on bare skin? Yes, the soft neck strap material is engineered to rest comfortably against the skin without chafing.

10. What does "Futaba" mean? Futaba is a legendary, historically significant brand in the RC hobby world, known for manufacturing premium, professional-grade radio systems.

11. What colors are on the strap? The strap itself is bright orange, with the word "Futaba" printed in crisp white.

12. What is the "adjustable lock buckle" for? This secondary plastic slider helps manage the excess tail of the strap once you adjust the length, keeping the lanyard looking neat.

13. Will the stitching rip if my controller is heavy? No, the strap features tight, reinforced stitching at all critical junction points to ensure it can hold heavy transmitters safely.

14. Can I wash this strap? Yes, it can be hand-washed with mild soap and water if it gets sweaty or dirty at the flying field. Hang to dry.

15. Does the clip lock shut? It is a standard spring-actuated clip. While it does not have a screw-lock, the strong internal spring keeps it firmly closed during normal use.

16. Can I use this for a camera? Yes, if your camera or camera cage has a standard metal split-ring or eyelet, this strap will clip on and support it perfectly.

17. Why do I need a strap at all? Without a strap, you have to use your palm muscles to hold the transmitter up, which drastically reduces the fine-motor control of your thumbs on the sticks.

18. Is the logo embroidered or printed? The Futaba logo is screen-printed directly onto the smooth fabric.

19. Will the metal clip scratch my transmitter screen? You should be careful when packing the transmitter away in a bag, as the bare metal clip can scratch plastic screens if allowed to rub against it.

20. Can a child use this? Yes, because of the dual adjustable buckles, the 150cm strap can be shortened significantly to comfortably fit a younger or smaller RC pilot.
