TBS M10 GPS

TBS M10 GPS

The TBS M10 GPS is a high-sensitivity navigation module built on the next-generation u-blox UBX-M10050 chipset. Designed for performance-oriented drones, this module delivers exceptionally fast satellite acquisition and a precise position lock. Its compact 18 x 18 mm footprint makes it a perfect fit for space-constrained builds, from racing quads to long-range explorers.

Equipped with onboard flash memory, this module saves your custom configurations, ensuring it retains settings even after power cycles. It supports multiple global constellations, including GPS, GLONASS, and Galileo. Because it utilizes the M10 platform, it consumes less power while providing a much more stable signal in challenging RF environments. Consequently, it is a reliable choice for pilots using Betaflight, iNav, or ArduPilot who require a dependable “Return to Home” feature.

Key Features

Speed and accuracy are the core strengths of the TBS M10. It features a hot start time of just 1 second, allowing you to get back in the air immediately after a battery swap. The module also boasts a high tracking sensitivity of -166dBm. This ensures that the drone maintains a solid lock even when flying under tree canopies or near large structures.

The refresh rate is highly adjustable, reaching up to 18Hz for ultra-smooth position tracking. Additionally, the horizontal position accuracy averages under 2 meters. With a weight of only 4.9g, it provides professional-grade navigation without compromising the flight dynamics of your micro or mini quad. The 5V input requirement makes it compatible with almost any modern flight controller.

Applications

The TBS M10 is ideal for Long-Range FPV drones where a reliable GPS rescue mode is mandatory. In FPV Racing, its small size and light weight ensure it stays out of the way of other components. Cinematic Pilots use it to add GPS coordinates to their flight logs for professional record-keeping. It is also a top choice for Autonomous Waypoint missions on smaller UAV platforms. Furthermore, it serves as a precise timing reference for Robotics R&D projects. Finally, its high altitude ceiling of 50,000m makes it suitable for specialized high-altitude ballooning and research applications.
