Mads Tech is the most underrated channel in FPV.

@werewolf_pl Год назад

There is actually an option to reset display settings of the VRX if you set it to unsupported resolution of your goggles. If I remember it correctly you have to press and hold back button for 5 seconds and it sets the resolution back to 720p/60.

@eatyourvegfpv Год назад

That's correct. Although it's been nearer to ten seconds or so when I've done it. It says on the card that comes in the box.

@MadRC Год назад

Haha I missed that lol.

18:34 There is a way to revert back. I believe it was holding down the return arrow button for 10 sec or something…

I bought the goggles several months back before this unit came out. I would of went this route otherwise. I am impressed by how far they have come and continued improvements. The OSD is outstanding. Thanks for the review!

Hi I have the skyzone02 googles. Are they good enough for this receiver ?

@KOrnhOliO1 Год назад

JB tested the latency of this VRX. He found the Very Best it can do is 42ms latency. Real world flying he said it would be more like 52ms - 57ms latency. He said it's more suitable for wings, and the high up cruising they often do.

Would you advise getting the walksnail set instead of analoge for flying inside a building with walls etc. Penetration better or about the same?

Great video Ian, Did you change the banner on your channel ? Looks good. Thanks for all you do Stay safe my friend.😎

@tomsop Год назад

Hi Ian - I have the Fatshark HD3 attached and it has 720p not the 1080. I wondered if you tried goggles that had only 720p - and what your impression was. I wish I could see screenshots or sample footage of the difference in image quality between the two - I can assume it is better but a picture is worth a 1,000 words…

@ForSure871 Год назад

Isn’t the transmitting Ant1 supposed to be connected to one of the patch antennas?

@BabyDahl28 Год назад

So would one recommend this method over the walksnail goggles?

@FPV420. Год назад

Ian, thank you very much for this informative video. I had a question about stock Walksnail antennas and couldn't find a decent review. No, I know the antennas are fine :)

@madforit9661 Год назад

You said you would be making a video explaining why the osd Betaflight and in the goggles. Since adding the Butter firmware. If you move an object in the betaflight window, eg GPS top right corner. It puts that icon bottom left in my dji goggles.

@DNLKRNWN Год назад

Why the hdzero not affected with hdmi latency?

@dev-das Год назад

Hello sir can it be paired with dji air 03 unit ?? Can't buy dji fpv goggles they are costly.

@rasmus80g Год назад

Major drawback of this vrx is that it is limited to 16:9 output 😞 ...(there is a 4:3 thing in menu but it adds blackborders. Basically still outputs 16:9) in fatshark hdo1 everything gets stretched out... was on the fence to buy hdzero goggles and this puched me over... so we will se if I buy mostly hdzero transmitters or caddex transmitter going forward now.

@disco.volante Год назад

Latest firmware has an new 4:3 (full) mode that basically stretches the 4:3 image to 16:9 so it should display properly on HDO1.

@JohnCuppi Год назад

Interesting -- I'll have to look really hard next time to see if I notice any screen tearing while flying with my Sky04x v2. I either do not have it or just missed it.

@kandredfpv Год назад

Me either, no tearing on sky04x v2.

@MadRC Год назад

Interesting. Thanks for the data point it gives me something to look at more.

@dennisradoor Год назад

does the VNA readings mean that the patch performs best around channel 4 and the omni around channel 6 ?

@MadRC Год назад

Technically yes the lowest point of loss will be the most conversion to RF.

@onclefly8450 Год назад

Hi, for Skyzone 04X mount can I have your like stl ?

@nikotttin Год назад

It would be cool if we could lighten that module somewhat more.... Is it OK to power the hdz or any rx module without antenna?

@rp479 Год назад

General rule of thumb is don’t power something that transmits a signal without an antenna. If it only receives. You’re fine to power it without an antenna.

@MadRC Год назад

Yea HDZero receivers are fine with out antennas. Zero risk on goggles or module. Avatar and DJI not so much.

@RizHassan Год назад

Why the VTx was overheating in standby mode at 25mW? I am assuming that Standby mode is a pit mode and should be putting out only 10mW. I did not see any image improvement between the two goggles, it was quite patchy resolution. This could be the result of CMOS based camera which uses rolling shutter method. A CCD sensor based camera with global shutter could improve this (I think).

@MadRC Год назад

Yes the VTX will overheat if left on the bench even in low power mode 25mw. It’s not all about the RF power. The SOC and power circuit creates a lot of heat in its self.

@kandredfpv Год назад

H.265 video compression and COFDM digital modulation are very computationally intensive stuff, even for an ASIC.

_"worst case scenario"_ Not sure you could call the Avatar VRX on Sky04x's worst case, lol. Those optics are choice, and the rest (fit, VRx, power) quite nice too (if pricey).

I hope HDzero runs another sale - I missed out on the pre-order - they should have a sale - lot of us do not get our tax returns until April. They are missing out on sales.

I think it's SOOOOOO FUNNY how when DJI digital came out people were saying the typical 28ms latency of DJI was way too much! Haahaaha Then, this tacky, set top box, with it's hella hokey wires going every which way, with pretty much DOUBLE THE LATENCY, is fine to fly with! Well then, go out and buy it and find out! LOL Go ahead, ORDER TODAY! 💸💸💸 LOL 🥴🤣🤦‍♂

I think you will find for 80% of pilots latency is not an issue. Everyone makes noise about it but I can tell you now it’s not the be all and end all.

@MrStevegibb Год назад

Hmm honestly the dynamic range on the cameras on walksnail is basically shit. The ground whilst flying in the park looks like grass used to on my old Eachine racer that had a crap cmos camera without any WDR. How are they not using cameras at least as good as the Nebula Pro camera at the moment this system seems totally ruined by the cameras you are stuck with and there terrible dynamic range. You would be mental to get this system over a DJI v2 and a Nebula pro It costs more and its worse. Its kind of funny as Hdzero cameras are some of the best out there now for a good balanced flyable image but sadly the link limits the ultimate clarity of the image. Walksnail has very good link quality but terrible cameras. O3 has amazing image and link quality but the OSD looks like it was designed by a sight impaired ten year old. If O3 gets full support for customised osd hd fonts it will be the system for long range. HDzero is by far the best for proximity flying and racing. It seems if DJI wakes up then walksnail will be the third wheel tbh.

@kandredfpv Год назад

This is a very short sighted opinion. Yes Walksnail isn't quite mature yet but DJI wasn't perfect when it came out either. However WS has been steadily improving and listening to the community. If people don't invest into WS, Caddx won't have the revenue to continue improving it and DJI will ultimately win....and their price will go up. IMO competition in digital FPV is a good thing and we should be supporting new entrants like WS, rather than discouraging people from buying it.
