The S versions of the X18 supports adjustable rotation angle on its gimbals, so you can set them in the orientation you find most comfortable. It also has a built in 6-Axis gyroscope sensor which can be used as another control method – i.e. you can simply move the radio as a control input. The SE edition benefits from an upgraded screen with matte finish for better visibility under sunlight.
