The best FPV goggle for almost everybody (except DJI) // HDZERO GOGGLE REVIEW 

Doing my part to help the algorithm 😎

As a newb, it sounds to me like the "DJI crowd" are like Apple owners, while everyone else are Android owners?

I love the pissed off "nothing" at 3:10 lol

37min review and it was entertaining the whole way through, well done mate. HDzero really created an amazing product for FPV.

Definitely been waiting for this review and you did not disappoint! Awesome presentation and information JB 👏👍👌

Wow - this is a fantastic review, not just of the HDZero goggles, but many of the top goggles out there. I learned A LOT today!

Been waiting for this for days. As always, you it did not disappoint. Awesome review JB!

You taught me everything I know about FPV, and you have helped me improve my English. Big thanks for that!

Watched all the way through! For the Algorythm... Great work JB! distilling it down to just over 30 mins! Impressive! Great recap w thoughtful discussion.

Insanely comprehensive vid...watched every minute which is rare for me. Thanks.

Thank you me and my son are new to the sport/ hobby.i appreciate your channel

As always thanks for all your help you helped me make a very important decision on the best goggles. Been trying to find out what’s going to be the best And these being so versatile made it an easy choice. So now I have my goggles figured out now I have to start thinking about the radio! Trust me Josh I will be scrolling through all your videos to find out what will be the best.

Fantastic review, Joshua! Thanks a bunch! 😃 I don't know when... But I'm definitely going to get those goggles! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Just starting in FPV. Very informative! Thank you!

The review I've been waiting for 🙂 Well worth the wait, as are the goggles

Excellent review the video I’ve been waiting for! Thanks JB!

Thank you Sir! Another insightful video. Been flying HDO(1) for analog and still use the DJI googles V1 rooted with WTFOS hmmmm....What a great time to fly FPV!!!

I just watched this whole video in one sitting. That tells you a lot. Thanks Joshua.

Great review. Covered all the important topics and kept it interesting throughout.

Awesome review! Hands down best goggles ever!!! I have flown a few times now with them and they are really awesome!!! Thank you HDZERO 🥳🎉🎆!!!

I saw every other HDzero goggle video out there, but yours is the only one I didn’t skip any single second! I was waiting for your review more than a star wars movie in the ‘80s

I new it would be worth the wait for this review excellent job. JB cheers

I was going to buy it eventually. This was the convincing review. Gladly used your link.

19:00 Thank you, JB! Been a patreon supporter for a while (2 years? Year and a half? ... I don't know). But you're worth every penny I've spent. I plan to continue to support you on patreon FOREVER!

Great job on the video! Very informative; I learned something today!!

Finallyy the Review is here, thaaanks😊

Mr. Bardwell you are the man…… your channel and info is the best on the toobs…… thank you I will be joining patreon for sure now……

Thanks for all the great vids!!!!

Hi Josh, Great video and review of the HDzerro googles. Finally, I am able to get new Googles that I can use HDzerro and analog. I have never had the funds to buy the DJI system, but I could afford the HDzerro system. Thanks for the video and information about these googles.

35:35 Also, if you currently own a pair of good analog goggles, remember that if you buy the HDZero goggles you'll be able to sell them and that'll offset the majority of the extra cost for the HDZero goggles. Whereas if you buy the walksnail goggles you'll have to keep those goggles if you still want to fly analog at all.

I came from analog and now I'm stuck with DJI for while... thanks for the informations and thoughts... always good to know.

I am so excited for a new step upward worth taking. My patience is like that of no other.

Fantastic review as always! Learned so much. Would love to see a comparison video on the goggles video quality, dvr video quality, and vtx video quality between hdzero, walksnail, and dji 💚

Great video and really helped me learn some different system options and their features.. I like how the Hdzero has a built-in mic, because even though you can hear the fan's, you can still hear everything your saying just fine.. I really like the open-source HDZero goggles, and beginning to think more and more about ditching DJI just out of principal. In my opinion when your spending that much on something and you cant even control even the most basic settings if not already available, then youre basically screwed with the Dji stuff. I wouldnt be surprised if Dji adds remote id modules in a new version of the air unit so that it can be "easily activated when use on drone's over 250g". This might appeal to a lot of people who want to keep things more simple and stay compliant, but that sure seems like a slippery slope to me if i ever saw one lol.. Bc you know prob the best how Dji operates and basically never listen's to their customers unless its going to sell more new drones or the newest accessories conveniently required for new features they add and tease in your face. Im looking at you DJI, and not supporting the Air 2s, not supporting the FPV Goggles V2's, and also not being able to use the Motion Controller v1, you need the MCv2!! .. which is kind of crazy just to use your camera drones in fpv mode a few times lol.. Not to mention the new DJI RC controller sticks and buttons already work (no video, displays a custom error message for needing the MC2 to fly it, but you connect everything and then power off the MC2 off, and then the DJI RC on, while the drone is already taken off and hovering somewhere away from the home point, and then fly with the RC controller now as an unofficial workaround that works perfectly, but they still dont officially support it yet... Its a shame the Goggles2 have no Video Input at all, but they really should have HDMI-input for that price and it would justify the differences in the goggles2 and new goggles integra. Especially when the cheaper version has built-in gps which at this point for a dji drone like an Avata, its much easier to take off rather than plugging in the phone every time. Or maybe thats still the case anyway idk.

JB you’re blessing for the FPV community.... love from Pakistan

As usual I learn a lot of things, thanks Joshua

Yep that's going to be my first pair of fpv goggles HDzeros

Best review Bardwell, not a dull moment.

You make my day better

I bought some in the first batch and they are excellent. So impressed at how well they did on these.

Yea im waiting for my goggles great video JB.

Great video as always!

Hey JB, great video. My HDZero goggles should be arriving in about a week. Can’t wait!! I wonder why a lot of reviewers never mention the built in ExpressLrs backpack feature. It is fantastic feature. I think HDZero and ExpressLrs are two incredible communities doing a great job for the FPV Pilots.

Great review of the greatest FPV Goggle ever made! Cheers peeps!

Great review !!! Thank you JB

Great review I’m preordering very soon!

I'll probably pick them up purely because they are open source; love me some open source goodness! My first and only fpv setup right now are the FPV goggles v2; enjoy it, but want something more versatile and open.

Can’t wait for mine to arrive.

Sold. Can't wait till they ship

Aaaah you got me with the "Watching at work" :D

You already know what I think? What I was thinking was that each time you hard pause between the last three words of a sentence it reminds me of Morpheus explain to Neo that he’s been living in a dream world. Now that it’s popped into my head I can’t shake it! Love the content man! I wouldn’t be flying if you didn’t do what you do.

Great review! I hope you’ll do an antenna shootout for these before mine arrive 🙏🏼

Good to see more competition in the digital fpv arena

keep up the great videos!

I was waiting for your review, but now I'll definitely get those, they'll be my first googles and seems like they are gonna last quite a while

Very informative thank you

Wow, so glad I watched this. I use my kids goggles and was waiting on this to decide where I go. I was honestly leaning towards DJI for penetration and long range without fancy antennae but did not know the goggles 2 didn't have a fan. I instantly fog up in humidity or over 75 degrees so that is a must for me.

Great review, sold me. Thanks🙂

Joshua as always good 👍 job 👏. I'm sticking with my dji goggles v2. Money is not a issue but, I have no need for those goggles for a couple more years probably.

Great Vid and coverage .. first time I have felt the "need" to have a set over $100-ish .. as you pointed out though, if I did this for a living these goggles just went right to the top of the list and are well worth the price for all of the whistles and bells added .. and Open Source? .. yeah .. right into the Abso-freeking-lutely catagory .. even as a "hobbiest" ..

Excellent review with a lot of great info! (Some info I haven’t seen in other reviews!) Thank you!! I’m just a little surprised that there was no flight footage like in other goggle reviews in the past.

You always do funny expressions in your previews.

Lol. The end of this video... I felt that. Honestly, the reason I only fly analog is because I can't bring myself to upgrading all my quads. The prices are waaay too high. The ability to have my analog and digital easily switchable is making want to make the change.

Man I love these! This is what will finally break me from analog. At least in my 5in quads and soooo cool I can leave my whoops analog!

Just bought my first drone and it’s a tiny hawk 3, need my first pair of goggles and I think I’m gonna go with these

I made it through the entire video! Gold star for me!

Great review. I LOVE my set

Thanks Mr.B 🙏

I state that I have already purchased and tried them, I agree with the judgment and I would be curious to learn more about the backpack, since I am also a user of Express lrs. I noticed that some other comments talk about this topic, I haven't read them all and I hope I'm not repeating myself. Anyway thanks And I hope to see your review on this aspect Greetings Gio from Italy

I've been waiting for the dust to settle on the whole HD FPV debate for awhile now. I'm still flying analog with a pair of FS Attitude V3 which have served me well. This may be the product that finally gets me to make the jump to digital. Great review JB, keep them coming.

Small comment.. I have found all your videos and info really helpful and am glad to tell you that I’m a small but thankful contribitor, as many should be. I decided to be your patreon at the smallest level - thats all I can afford really- and have used your affiliate links whenever possible - quite a few times really.. I hope you get something out of it :) Great work Joshua!

Thank you Joshua for giving this product a fair review and highlighting the pros and cons. As a owner of these goggles I feel your overview was thorough and accurate. Tomorrow I should be receiving my walksnail vtx which I'm looking forward to trying out. The two downsides of these goggles for me are not the goggles fault themselves, but my genetics, 1 my astigmatism means without my contacts in I can't get the view perfectly clear(I'm hoping that those lenses make their way to market soon) and 2 the faceplate fits nicely, but because my stupid forehead sticks out further than my cheekbones by a fair bit, the goggles are on an angle facing down a bit, so I don't get to line up the lenses square to my face, I need to figure out a way of padding the lower portion of the foam. There is no light leak for me just the alignment issue. Please make sure you do some follow up videos with these goggles and can you please cover how the goggles are able to produce the Walksnail 100fps mode on the 90fps screens, I assume it's done with some converting to drop those extra 10fps? Thank you again and enjoy your weekend.

Got mine they’re amazing

I was looking for a solid analog goggle, since I still fly 1.3. With the price and feature set, it's a no brainer, even for analog. I may dip the toe into digital eventually, but I can't see the downside with these things. I placed an order last night.

excellent review! So these goggles support digital cameras? I'll check your other videos...great job here for sure!

Thanks for all your hard work. I know how much you hate range tests but I would love to see a range and penetration test with the different goggles side by side up the road I know so well.

It would be interesting future if we would have goggles with standarised modules for digital and analog rx modules.

You are AWESOME!!

Great video. Still not sure as I was happy with my Skyzone Sky04L until I was given a HDZero drone. So now I can't decide if I should go the sheap way and buy the module or if I should break the bank and get the goggles. :D

Thanks for plugging open source projects. Everyone wins!

Thanks!

What we really need is digital modules which fit standard module bays. Even if it would mean 2 modules combined inside my sky04x I would be happy.

JB that shirt is 🔥

Thanks Joshua. You right I’ve been keeping my eye out for the right investment since I’ll be new to FPV and I been enjoying other videos and yours due to the honest opinion you’re known for. Im surprise you’re talking so positively when before your video you seem like what’s the big deal sort of. But you what, I had faith you’ll like them too so I just need to get some. I was looking forward in sharing a flight test. Maybe on the next video we get hear your input on your experience. 👍

Love your voice

Nice review, the hdmi in worked simultaneously with hdmi out in previous firmware. I think carl disabled this with some tinkering to get it to work with ws vrx. But I'm sure it will be back in upcoming firmware 😉👍🏻

Outputting the WS image was possible a couple weeks ago and will be fixed again soon! We’re still continually troubleshooting and updating the firmware… so this will definitely work going forward! Great video, thanks for the effort here, cheers!

I have the new hdzero goggles the 16:9 screen is huge with the micro v2 cam, it looks bigger than the 4:3 hd02 screen.

"I know your out their". 😂😂😂. Yup that's me thank Gawd for the podcasts!

Got mine...... Sooo good!!!!!

I'm definitely going to get these goggles down the road in a couple years after all the frogs have been squeezed out.....surfing CPA Hawaii

Thank you for this Video.

😊 great content!

JB, one point you forgot to mention was the service / repair centers HDzero will be providing compared to the other manufactures…

Great video Sir. Thank you! One quick question. Can we use the built-in accelerometer in the HDZero goggle to control a pan and tilt gimbal?

Absolutely love all your videos! One question I had as someone looking to actually purchase their first set of goggles, are there any good BNF/RTF quads that support HDZero? Most everything I see mentions DJI O3 and I'm not sure if I'm overlooking something or just not able to decipher the product listings well enough to understand what quads might actually work for me and my new HDZero goggles.

Pretty good review

I knew you'd come around Mr. Bardwell

One thing I was wondering with your shopping list, is how do you know what all you need? I have an older 9 channel Flysky TH9x for example. When you talk about receivers and transmitters do you need both plus a controller? what about the transmitter from the drone to the goggles? Or are those part of the recievers now?

Thank you for the review. Still waiting for a true universal fpv goggle: a goggle without any internal VRx, but HDMI and analog inputs and bays for analog and digital VRx.
