sir you do the best videos on youtube. you are clear and precise and get right to the point and you give links in the description to all items in the video...super thanks
Good day. I have a question. I want to purchase a Cineape35 cinewhoop that has ELRS. I previously own a Rekon5 long range that has FrSky. How do i change from FrSky to ELRS?
If anyone is reading this in the future, if you're using a nuclear hazard and the WINSINN 5v 40mm fans from amazon (which is what the kits originally shipped with), then the fan should be turning on when you power on the system. If it doesn't then swap and splice the ground and 5v wire (or re-pin) as the polarity is backwards from the factory.
Are you able to watch the video live stream on an apple tablet while the drone holds its position automatically? I’m a truck driver and I’m looking for something I could hold out the window, fly into position, hold there and have the video feed on a tablet I have attached to my dashboard. Plus it would be fun to cruise around while I’m stuck on a dock
Its for diong bencwork without having to screw around with goggles. I bought a flysight analog monitor and absolutly love i slapped sone velcro on it and stuck it to the wall and now no goggles and hands free. the genious of this new one is its analog and hd.
How do you find out what hardware you have on your FPV if you have not built it and you have no diagram showing how video receiver connected to flight controller to choose the right options in Ports menu in beta flight please ? Also how do you find out and get same software for receiver and transmitter for binding radio master tx 12 ? Thanks.
I would love it HD Zero goggles would do anilog. I have 19 kwads and I cant mod them all to digital but for sure my favorites i would but for now I stickn with anilog.
I fly fixed wing FPV with a screen and it’s great. Wearing goggles for hours at a time isn’t a good option and I interact with my aircraft on my laptop in flight so another strike for goggles. My only complaint would be that the screen isn’t big enough. Why use a battery at all? Just plug it into your car. It’s versatile and does everything! Very cool 😎!
I agree they could have made it as box goggles, since the Emax Transporter have some issues and they are more expensive than this monitor. I ordered it and see if it was worth it 😀
I would be interested to test the quality of the DVR as it relates to analog video. I'm assuming you can record over the antennas and through the video in jack? It's not much more expensive than an ImmersionRC PowerPlay, and for that small difference in price you're getting a lot of extra bang for your buck. If someone planned on buying a DVR and a cheap pair of bench/spectator goggles this would be an absolute no brainer decision if the DVR quality is good. I also like the external power setup as it's much more convienent for the intended use cases.
I just bought a Speedybee F7 V3 stack. I can make the motors spin in the motors tab, after upgrading tot 4.5 I can't anymore, esc protocol is set to Dshot600 just as before, I can't get any movement out of the motors with Betaflight 4.5 for some reason, after downgrading tot 4.3.x it just works again.
The reason they probably don’t do the auto switching on the goggles is that you don’t want it switching back and forth if your signal gets weak. It’s not as big an issue if that happens and you are spectating. I haven’t used any of this hardware but I would guess that auto switching for the pilot might not be a good idea.
Can someone that has one, confirm that the A/V in gets the same love from the 720 upscale that the analog side of the DVR gets? HDMI out for A/V in as well? Really excited for mine to show up, with some luck it will be a nice replacement/upgrade for the powerplay that is never in stock. Sony VX collectors stumbled upon our fpv DVR (powerplay) gear and use them for a tapeless recording solution, can be a high commodity on eBay recently with roughly the same if not higher price than this new entry (hdz monitor). This is going to become a big utility for my hobby. I plan on using one for some fpv ground vehicles (no hdz goggles, yet.), some analog Hijinx, and hopefully some sweet skatepark action on the VX. In my mind, we should be able to connect a Rapidfire module through the a/v as well, correct? Seems to be a cool little gadget, few minor (we assume) tweaks/additions to the design and it'd be practically perfect.
This would be great with a box goggle adaptation product of some design for sure. I'm imagining it de-cased and put into maybe a lightweight PLA box goggle print. I totally agree with you about how it could have been a great transforming box goggle especially coupled with an hdzero BNF quad and maybe an entry level transmitter with built in ELRS.
I just decided to purchase the Mt12 And i'm having a problem, when I Try to go into ExpressLRS it stay stuck on the loading screen, trying to update the firmware right now and it's not easy.
Great review Josh, I have the emax transporter goggles which have never been used as goggles. I set it up on my bench to check video when repairing, I use it at races to watch other pilots from the pit area, spot for pilots on hdzero, when i am at STEM engagement activities and more. The battery life sucks on it and i can't view or spot for analog pilots with it. That is exactly what this solves and was built for. In regards to built in battery, they have designed a 3d printable case that screws onto the back via those mounting holes that are already there.
All these companies other than DJI come out with products that lack finesse in their design, they only think of the function but their finished products always look like their are manufactured with 3D printers, there is no design or aesthetic to speak of. Like I want to explore other brands but can I have something that’s not ugly at least
Another underrated feature of the HDZero gear that is huge for analog is no rolling video. Never was able to fly when video would roll. Nicer DVR without the rolling
As someone who does a lot of promotion of the hobby and sport of racing this is a great product. We regularly have major racing events at Airshows and other events where we have staff who engage the crowd and showcase the sport of racing. These staff members were using EV800's and other analog handheld screens to give children and spectators a view of what the pilots see. However, now that pilots are moving to HDZERO for racing we can have races that are all HDZERO and its harder to give people that up close view of what is going on. Only so many people can crowd around TV's and things. This product allows the use of a single screen and if a pilot is on analog or HDZERO you still get their feed and can hopefully help grow the sport by showcasing it to someone who has never seen it before. Bardwell is right - if you are just getting this for yourself it might not have the value when you can just use your goggles, but really this is device that is designed to be shared with others and grow FPV.
This monitor makes FPV more social. Many times I bring a spare goggle for spectators. This monitor at 175 is much more affordable than a full goggle and much smaller. Also, the automatic analog and hdzero switching is clutch for races
JB I know this question has nothing to do with downgrading an Iflight Alpha 65 whoop which is a ver:2 and my Tranis qx7 2020 ver; 2.3.5 i have not been able to bind it to my old to my taranis..Can you please explain to me how i can downgrade the alpha firmware version because i have 5 quads that are bound to my Tanis so i don't want to upgrade the y version on my radio just yet..What do you think can do toi downgrade this alpha 65 firmware version? Thank you JB and i made a donation to your site so enjoy!!!
I personally love the battery solution they used. I have my own analog monitor and I use 3M Dual Lock to attach an analog RX, battery, voltage regulators and a little analog DVR. The HDZero Monitor looks very clean by comparison. If I used HDZero or if I didn't already have parts to DIY my own analog screen, I might have been willing to purchase the HDZero Monitor. I'm using my analog monitor to let neighbor kids watch the video from my tiny whoops.
I hate to be that guy, but the background noise cutout or whatever it is, is driving me crazy. Maybe reupload the vid with diff audio settings? Nice vid as always.
The screen is offering a solution for people like me who have had bad after worse experiences with walksnail. While being in too deepfinancially to just move over to a whole different HD ecosystem. After my experiences, I went back to analog with sky zone 040 pro. From what I’ve seen so far this monitor also has HDMI output that you could see it in to your analog goggles and now you can try HDzero for the price of a walksnail vTX.
