HDZero vs DJI | FPV Freestyle back-to-back flights 

Thanks! I built them for some Bando events, so they are supposed to be able to take a beating. Lets see - they are still quite light with the action 2

thanks for checking it out :) Yea its nice to have a 'test' spot like this dead end logging road that nobody ever uses on a sunday

yea this is what I felt. But have to note that I am currently way more used to analog/hdzero latency than DJI latency, so that is mainly why I think. I am sure that if I spent a whole day flying DJI it would be fine again

Having a variable latency link feels like if the controller did break up instead of the image.

I had the same impression a while ago. I was using HDZero goggles mostly for analog (which I love weirdly enough). I only had the small 200 mW HDZero VTXes and the breakup was really pretty annoying. Ever since this freestyle VTX and the nano 90 cam though, I have fallen in love with it. Something about the feeling of flying this cam really does it.

if its any help i have a couple quads with 03s 6in which carries a full sized gp12 for long range, never used the 03 to recored until yesterday with my 3in cinewhoop. used to get around 8 mins of flight with a caddx vista (not recording) after upgrading the the 03 i'm now getting just over 5 mins while recording with the 03 using 1100 and 1380 lipos. just got a 2s acrobee75 with an 03 that i haven't had the time to test

@@justkillen07 Thanks very much!

Yeaa the two quads didnt have identical motors thats true. But they are pretty close. FPVcycle 22.6 vs RCinpower 2306.5, KV is also quite close. As far as I know RCinpower makes the FPVcycle motors also... thanks!

ah true, I have not tried that yet, thanks. So far have been using only the 90 fps mode

haha cool, thanks!

thanks, yea anything above 25mw would do fine here I think

If only you watched the video...

@@vadimus2007 I did :) that is the reason I like it!

yea I can imagine, sadly I dont really have bandos around here to try. However will take both these quads to rampage and see how it goes haha. I wouldnt be surprised if a powerful analog vtx like rush tank solo would do OK in a bando / better than HDzero. The breakup is more gradual on analog. Otherwise just DJI for concrete stuff.

@@GeKoFPV yes I have flown rush solos and rush tanks in bandos they do fine. It's actually what Pablo Flor aka Fenix runs and he does fine in bandos. And awesome man I'll see you there! I have dji g2 with 03s and the goggles X and the walksnail pro and moonlight is on the way we could make a video covering alllll of them

Yea image quality for sure - I also have a O3 quad. But I dont like the camera very much, it keeps shadows too dark for my taste in freestyle (speaking as a FPV cam, its great for nice looking footage). Vista is more fun to fly for me, but just personal taste :)

💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

I left in the 25mw 'mistake' since it shows really how HDZero breaks up worst case. Later in the video I compare it with full power :)

Thise were my thoughts too😂.... Im startinngg to think otherwiisse though...!

HD zero breakup is static in the image that you can see through. DJI breakup just drops frames (fps) not as good for FPV but for slow camera drones it's good

@@lordjeffery10 yes but dji still has way more penetration and its way more reliable. theres a difference in getting blurry image or getting your screen completely static. i have both and use hdzero only for racing, not even freestyle. the breakups are crazy and not predictable, unlike dji. plus if u already have dji goggles u can get a runcam wasp for better framerate

Hmmm, you do realize that just to get the HDZero goggles it's $600 + about $100 for antennas + about $25 for a battery + the analog adapter, etc. Around $800 just for goggles! Most can't afford that! Or, don't want to, because the video quality is so close to the VERY BEST analog! Now, don't go comparing to the cheap analog gear - there's a huge difference between a top of the line Caddx Ratel and RushFPV top VTX, and low end analog gear for $10 - $20 each piece. Probably why HDZero only has about 10% market share - Too expensive for the slight extra sharpness you get over Analog. DJI, brand new, can be had for $349 for the DJI Integra goggles with antennas and a battery built in - Complete! DJI V2 goggles, that also do a fantastic analog with a simple URUAV metal adapter, can be purchased in Like New, near perfect condition for under $300. A Caddx Vista with the Wasp 120fps camera is $139.99, So, even if you want to buy all brand new gear, $349 goggles + $140 Wasp VTX + $140 Wasp VTX + $140 Wasp VTX = $769 and you've equipped THREE of your quads to go fly far with crystal clear video! Much farther - By many, Many times, and without all that Analog2 snow and Rainbow Screen of Death! Fly up into thick tree canopies and out the other side, fly into a thick forest - seeing every little bit of scraggle, and back out, and around any and all objects like a building, which Analog2 (HDZero) can't even fly 50ft. past the first corner of a building without DEATH! The penetration difference is the Maximum spread possible! Least penetration with Analog2 and most (by far) with DJI. There's really no comparison!... Especially when it comes to durability! DJI is almost bulletproof, with many never having a single defective or burnout. I haven't. Analog2 has VTX's fail so often some have reported having to give up on it all together because they've spent so much on VTX's they can't afford to buy anymore - burnout after burnout! Terrible durability! If you are on tight budget just stay with Analog and go with the GREAT GEAR instead of the bargain basement analog gear! Go try it - Buy a top of the line Ratel and a top of the line RushFPV VTX with high power and then compare it to many Analog2 (HDZero) videos available. You'll see that Analog is 90% as good as Analog2, but a Gigantic amount cheaper and more durable! Sure, Analog2 is slightly sharper, but for ALL THAT MONEY? No way, Jose! :( I think it's the worst VALUE in all of FPV because you get so little improvement in performance over plain ole Analog, for ALL THAT MONEY, it's simply not worth it! 🤷‍♂

@@KOrnhOliO1 Cool. Anyways I'm going to get HD zero... Would you like an apology for not wanting DJI?

Oh please. They both have advantages and disadvantages. For flying at range DJI has better penetration for example, as well as the general improvement in image quality. I don't like DJI as a company but however much I liked the relatively open source nature of HDZero, DJI was a better choice for my medium range mountain surfing builds. I've been building my own quads since 2016 btw.

@@sligitjust wish they were compatable with other types of transmission. I’ve already got an hdzero and analog drone, with an skyzone goggles and hdzero receiver. So much money 🥲 and to get into dji would be such an add on

@@BenDover-ot1kk yeah same. OpenIPC is looking very promising but there's no digital in on the DJI so I'd have to get new goggles.

So you don't have google😢, Facebook Instagram, Twitter. Cause thats what they all do.

Lol, while your using RU-vid and your info is being tracked and sold to 3rd parties. Fly what you enjoy

Thanks man! so far havn't had to get up there haha, luckily. But I have a very long rope with me usually :p
