Thanks to those who pointed out the error on one of the slides. 720p is (of course) 1280 x 720px. Minor point as it doesn't affect the results. Happy flying

You did find i understood it well enough thanks i can wait im still on domintator v3 lol anything will be better on hd probably going to get hdzeros with a walksnail or just walksnail head set Which of the 2 would you prefer?

@filiped7298 Год назад

This is the test I wanted. Happy to see that my old HDO can work.

@madladdan Год назад

HDO 4x3 is underrated. People forget that we're pilots not spectators. That smaller horizontal fov and larger vertical fov is best for flying

@Painless360 Год назад

I like 4:3 for quads and 16:9 for fixed wing... Happy flying

I have HDO2 and HD3 and a Walksnail VRX and found exactly the same thing as Painless360. The jump from analogue for 8 years to digital is a mind bending one!

@1LittleTinker Год назад

Excellent, I didn’t find any testing with HDO yet on youtube, so huge thanks. The new 4:3 walksnail cam + original HDO goggles may be even better result for the HDO gen1, would really like to see or hear opinions on that.

@MCsCreations Год назад

Thanks a bunch for testing it, Lee! 😃 I still didn't decide if I'm going to get the Walksnail goggles or the VRX and the HDZero goggles... But it won't happen soon, so I've still have some time to decide. Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Fantastic video, really useful and interesting info here.

@gregorydahl Год назад

I like the fatshark recon goggles for walksnail . The built in antennas are completely inside the goggles and not bending or breaking in the fpv carry bag and unscrewing and reattachig and swiveling down when using them .

@rickm1283 Год назад

Great video Lee as always.

@litterbug4023 Год назад

Great info! I am thinking about replacing/enhancing my analog ground station with one of these units and my FatShark Transformer headset. As always, your informative reviews are GREATLY appreciated!

@Painless360 Год назад

Check the link in the description. I asked one of my analogue only buddies to fly Walksnail and then I asked him what he thought. No hype, no sales-pitch. Just a hobby pilot sharing his honest thoughts on what it is like to fly with.

@litterbug4023 Год назад

Yeah, I have no doubt about how much better it is. My "hobby" budget has been reduced till my son is out of college. :-)

@crazicat Год назад

I have tried the Avatar module on my Transformer goggle with the single panel box. It works great and this will be my guest goggles when the share mode is working better than it is now.

@SpringHaIo Год назад

Thanks for the comparisons! Since the avatar V2 cameras support 4:3 natively, maybe that will work perfect at 960x720 in the HDOs, and better in the HD3s

@AndrewHyams Год назад

Thanks Lee, good to know it works but sounds like I'll be stretching out analog for one more season 😅

@DannyFPV04 7 месяцев назад

My FPV goggles are the skyzone. 02X. It does have an HDMI in, so I’m assuming this kit would work well with that set of goggles. I am interested in getting into HD FPV eventually, but I’m one of the folks who sees the cost, so finding a way to get in for an affordable price is important.

@crazicat Год назад

I have tried the Avatar module on my old Fatshark Transformer goggle with the single panel box. It works great and this will be my guest ride along goggles when the share mode is working better than it is now.

@Painless360 Год назад

The HDMI FPV screen on my bench is the panel from those goggles. Lovely screen!

@Retset Год назад

As an HD3 owner, this was extremely useful as it finally quashes my "I wonder if" thoughts. I'm still uncertain what HD system to get for my occasional FPV flying as I'll definitely still have some machines on analogue. Do Walksnail and HD3 take the same barrel plug? If so, I'll probably get Avatar Goggles and simply use my Furious FPV smart battery cable on either goggle ...

All of the Fatshark goggles have the same barrel connectors... Happy flying

Still looking at my first digital system, glad to know my original HDO's will work when I decide to spend the $. All the people talking about the digital systems seem to forget not everyone is willing or able to spend 100-150$ for every camera and transmitter, never mind the VRX.I can get great quality analog for about 70$ all in.

@Painless360 Год назад

I didn't. See my videos on it. Happy flying

Is there a significant range difference between the Recon goggles with the built in antennas and the Dominators/Walksnail goggles with the external antennas?

@dabit4840 Год назад

On my HDO (v1) the WS VRX unit is extremely picky with the HDMI connection. The cable that came with the system often does not work, the HDzero cable often does not work. I bought a 20cm DJI 'Ronin' branded mini-mini HDMI cable which does seem to work, and whenever I route the HDMI signal over a capture device with input and output ports it works flawless too. Tried 760p60 and 1080p60, makes no difference. Tried various firmwares too, no difference. The HDZero VRX (original white one) works flawless each and every time, no matter which HDMI cable is used to connect the VRX and HDO. Does anybody else recognise this? Other than this, I am still quite happy with the HDO v1 and WS. Image quality and range is both pretty good. However, if those HDMI issues persist I do need an upgrade. No HDMI or analog input on the WS goggles really is a dealbreaker for me, HDZero goggles are not available for general purchase yet. Let's hope it keeps working for a little while.

@wtb567 Год назад

I tested it in my 030 goggles. It looked very good but at some point I haf an unexpected black screen and had to force a crash landing. Still not sure if its the goggles or the VRX module that caused the black screen.

@Painless360 Год назад

I've not had that with the VRX unit here (always useful to mention the FW version with WS issues). Anyone else seen that?

@@laqusbronz Well good to hear that using a seperate battery resolved it. Maybe I should try that as well. It only happened to me once over several flights. But it would be really bad if it happens right when you are over water or something.
