Are FPV Transmitters Specific to Brand or Generic?
Radios:
Are the transmitters (controllers, radios) specific to brand, or are they fairly generic?
I can see there are 900MHz and 2.4GHz band radios.
Do the transmitters and receivers use proprietary protocols or do they all speak the same language?

idk what exactly do you mean but yes there are thousands of protocols, tho modern radios with multiprotocol modules support most of them, for example I have a radiomaster tx16s mkII with the 4in1 module and if I wanted to scroll down thru the number of supported protocols with the touch screen it would take a super long time...., tho some protocols are a bit more specific like ELRS, which is sitll fairly new but currently the lead in basically everything... so right now you have to choose but I bet it won't be that long before company's like radiomaster start making radios that can support both at a time... ( I run the radio with a 4in1 just because it's super convinient because u can connect to almost literary anything... but I do have an external ELRS module for the modulebay I use for my more important quads/planes/heli's that use ELRS (ELRS is generally a lot cheaper since it's opensource and the manifacture doesn't need to pay to use it)

as long as they use the same protocol and frequency, elrs is most popular now, any radio and any receiver that run elrs can connect to each other.
elrs 2.4 and 900 can't connect to each other
edit I guess this Gemini thing changes that, not super up to date on that

also.... ELRS just dropped a bombshell called the ELRS Gemini that is basically a crossband with both 2.4ghz and 900mhz in one,

Yeah, I saw the Gemini X thing. Basically cross-band dual-band magic.
Thanks everyone. You answered my question.

It's the protocol that's important. Like @Foro1561 said , you can get a multi module radio that will allow you whole host of protocols , and you can add a module to it, but these days you can buy ELRS specific radios. Before ELRS (an open source project that runs on CRSF-Crossfires protocol) blasted onto the scene we had Crsf , Flysky , Frsky et al protocols to use. Bind process could be a nightmare for Xm+ receivers. Frsky was terrible.
I've the same set up as Foro1561 but now I've only tiny whoop with flysky on it and don't use it that often.
Your probably best focusing on transmitters and quads/receivers with ELRS.

Another important thing to consider are the local regulations - in EU it is illegal to use the 900Mhz band as it is reserved for emergency responders or something
