MOZA R9 V1
First generation of the popular 9 Nm R9. It shares the aviation-grade aluminium chassis and 180 W servo motor of the later versions, but its Quick Release was wireless-only, without the wired data pin introduced with the V2. It was one of the bases that established MOZA in the mid range. It was replaced by the R9 V2; today it is only of historical or second-hand interest.
