You tell me: What's the best FPV system? 

The best fpv system is the one you enjoy

Was waiting for you to start rapping with that mic😂

If I was a millionaire Id still pick Walksnail over DJI for my serious FPV rigs.... DJI may have a slightly more polished product, but they milk their customers mercilessly...Besides, Walksnail is more compact, lighter and cheaper...Works with Gyroflow too....🤔😏😏😏🇬🇧 Oh, and none of that registration bollocks.

Walksnail. Covers whoops, regular.. moonlight 4k. Not as dark as o3 in feed

My thoughts: - I'm a big HDZero fan for various reasons, - Tried WalkSnail, was kind of disappointed, towards the end of my tests I was liking it, but then lost it in the mountains... - Recently started testing the DJI O3 systems and... it's Amazing. Signal Performance & Image are unrivaled in my experience. I'll be posting some range & penetration tests soon, but really impressive stuff. - Flew Analog for years, loved it, but it serves no purpose for me now. Going forward I'll be running HDZero & DJI O3 it seems; but WalkSnail might make a re-appearance, we'll see!

DJI is leagues ahead of any other system. Both in terms of quality & reliability. WS is still playing catchup with V1 DJI and is bug riddled over nearly 2 years into its release - and charges DJI prices. Other than micros & maybe fixed wing I don’t think it has a place in the market. HDZ is great for racing & long range.

I'm 73 this year and no idea how much longer I will live. If I upgrade to DJI and Express LRS from FRSKY/Crossfire and analogue I might fall off my perch the day after the upgrade without getting any joy out of it. Not even sure if I should buy new underwear. So many decisions. 😃

Knowing how versatile walksnail is I would pick walksnail over DJI even though the DJI does have better images just doesn't care about there customers

No I started 12 years ago with 5.8 with range more than 10km, then I switched 7 years ago to 1.3Ghz for long range. Now I am also considering buying the latest version of Walksnail Avatar, if the 20km version (out of the box) is produced here now. I hope that this new version really comes onto the market...? best regards from Germany

Line of sight for the win! 😲

Started analog had a mixed experience using 5.8, 2.4 and 900 mhz. Now flying exclusively DJI. It works well for what I need and want. If I was starting over I would be looking at the most cost effective and that currently is Walksnail as I see it.

Walksnail on my 1s Whoop - winter indoor flying. Because DJI is too heavy - even the naked DJI is too heavy for 1s. And I have DJI 03 on my larger drones - because it has better FPV and better HD. Haven't flown analog since the original DJI AU came out. Never tried HDZero. Because it's really just fancy analog.

I was analog pilot for 5 years. Back in February of this year. I chose to go with DJI.(goggles 2, o3 air unit)I fly fpv quads and wings. I chose DJI knowing I have a hard limit on the distance I can go, my main focus is quality of image.

If I would wake up one day with 1 million bucks on my account and I _don't_ have the knowledge I have now? Probably DJI. They're a well known company and even non tech savvy people have heard about it, so I would probably think that their system is easier to use and more reliable. To everyone else I can't recommend Walksnail enough. I started with DJI digital when it came out and recently switched. I don't see ANY differences in picture quality or build quality of their hardware. It's completely identical. But - There are more VTX+Cam combos to choose from, it's generally cheaper and if space and weight is an issue, there are smaller and lighter options available, escpecially for tinywhoops. I regularly fly DJI digital FPV copters and walksnail and in features and image quality, there is zero difference (to be honest - I don't have any comparison in maximum range though). But WS doesn't give you imcompatibilites on purpose, their BS activation stuff and so on and so forth. Every VRX or goggle works with every VTX.

Really nice video with lots of good information. Thanks!! I recently got the DJI Avata 2 - really loving it so far. Gotta jump through some hoops and restrictions (DJI seems to have strict limits on fly zones, licensing, etc) ... but all in all a seamless experience for a noob (that would be me).

I use all systems except HD Zero. However, I like the analogue (5 quads 2-5inchers) the most, then Walksnail (One 7in Quad) and DJI (Two Quads 5.5 and 7 Inch) Analog rules;)

Best video DJI. Walksnail is close but much more responsive to the community and wide variety of cams and vtx. For me Walksnail is my go to now

Last year's black Friday I bought brand new Walksnail v1 (fatshark, EU shop, warranty that works if needed) for 290 euros. Analogue died to me that day.

Starting in the FPV the choice was obviously WS, because of compromise between versatility and image quality. I fly on a 2S , 4S and 6S systems.

Versatility.. I fly 1s tinydrones Up to 6s 5 inch. And price.....and community.. walksnail beats DJI

Hrm, not sure it's fair to say hdzero image quality sucks. Sure it's not as good as DJI/Walksnail, but it's miles better than analog and it's great for flying. Obviously the decision to prioritize low latency over image quality was made.

Walksnail is so much better than analog plus lightweight vtx and regular improvements. Goggles X has hdmi in/out. Overcomes the better image and range of DJI for me

Bravo.thenks. go ahead

I use Analog

I am surprised at the gap between DJI & WS. Good Stuff sir. 👍

Walksnail for me, purely due to DJI being one of the most anti-consumer companies I can think of.

The best system is one that works as intended/advertised

HDZero does something special and is much better for latency and for tiny quads compared to DJI, so I personally wouldn't call them loser but rather 2nd place. Walksnail didn't come from nothing, they came from DJI and put out subpar beta products since then. They are just a worse DJI which for some reason I don't understand still gets hyped by the fpv community. It will be interesting when they come out with their new system which I doubt will be 100% compatible with the current one.

Looking to finally buy my first drone (UK) after years of waiting and watching & many hours in the Liftoff Sim and was thinking about the DJI Avata 2 as it would be ideal for how I wanted to fly. Being somewhat of a loner (enjoy my own company)...I would'nt even be allowed BY LAW to even take off without having a damn spotter!!. Walksnail its going to HAVE to be for me....non of the registration / TRACKING / Logging bollocks literally stopping me before I even start 😠

I’m not sure why, but I really like this guy 👍

DJI all the way for now, unless you get super good and you start competition racing or doing crazy freestyle then you just need the latency only analog can give you. But let's pray that Walksnail fully catches up to the higher video quality and better hardware quality as DJI. It would be great to have a DJI that is more open and more plugged in to the community. DJI pulls a lot of shit like purposefully not making stuff compatible (no technical reason) so they can sell more units.

Race = HDZero, accept no substitute. Saying HD Zero has an image quality comparable to analog is just factually false. Even the worst on 540p90fps quality and with a shitty reception on 25mw because you are standing too close to someone stomping over your signal with his DJI, the image is still much clearer, the colors stay and there is no rolling or sync issue. Also no rainbow effect when flying indoors.

Caddx has surprised me, as I reflect on the results of this poll. They've steadily provided innovative, affordable FPV hardware. The Peanut action camera from them and Insta360 was incredible, truly innovative for the FPV community (especially for those of us that fly both FPV quads and fixed-wing). I've just received the Avatar Goggles X, and a pair of Moonlight 4K's, so cannot attest to the image quality just yet, but I expect them to do well. After learning DJI provided AeroScope to (insert invading country's name here), I shelved my Mini 4 and Goggles 2.

DJI is expensive, but it is also the best that can be found on the market

It's a lot of about types of drones you want to fly. 5 inch and bigger freestyle, shooting, DJI. Ultralight 65mm whoops, analog, Racing, HD zero. Mix of all wishes but racing is not alowed somewhere, Walksnail. I have analog and walksnail, if i wake up with one milion € someday i will probably buy DJI to.

I mostly fly FPV on larger fixed wing RC planes with high end RC equipment like Jeti or Powerbox. I fly them with 3-axis head tracking and DJI. Video quality is number one for me and latency is not as critical as long as it does not get to high.

Open source the best! Just wait openipc when it went in mass!

If I was getting into fpv now, I'd choose walksnail. But when I started DJI was the only game in town. Now I have dji goggles and I'm not going to replace such an expensive product. I wish digital was like analog where we can buy anyone's camera and vtx. imo the best and chapest HD system right now is getting used v2 goggles and a caddx vista and installing wtfos.

Have walksnail right now and if walksnail does come out with their"new" system this fall and if it even matches DJI 03 in penetration I'll be super happy if not then I'll probably break down and just get the DJI 04

Even if it definetly is a love-hate relationship with DJI, it will still be the leader solution by some more time... Keep it up with the great content Pawel. (BTW, I would avoid that new cropped DCI style you're trying, it doesn't work well out of cinema I would say)

DJI fpv, of course!

I fly Walksnail + analog and voted only for analog. I don't want it to die. 1S VTXs suuuck so bad on 65mm whoops. 65mm whoop is not flyable when heavier that 20 grams. I have one 75mm self build clone of vision40 and it files more like cinewhoop (at 34g without a battery that's expected) when comparing to 75mm analog one. HDZero with the new VTX is still 4-5g weight penalty which is no go + the image quality is literally just spicy analog.

Dji for bigger quads hdzero for whoops

I like DJI until the lack of input options.. at least older versions of the goggles have audio video input... I wish they would have left that in at least on the g2's

Vista (with 120fps) for life ). At least until we see what o4 is gonna look like.

I would resurrect FPV.BLUE the second one was at 1.2 GHz

What - Anamorphic Clans ?

googles 3 need like work witch 03 unit

What about Connex? 🙂

With 04 on the horizon, It would be sick if DJI could put out a micro version of '03 transmission, or a close low voltage equivalent. Being locked out of micros is a huge source of all the DJI hate I'd imagine. That, and not really listening to the community in general. Stepping into micro territory would be a great way to address both of those points.

Analog forever , because predictable signal lose

of course analog :D

Because the price difference isn't really huge between each of the systems so I don't think money is the deciding factor.

Best in general? Probably DJI. Best for the FPV community? Walksnail.

DJI please make dual mode, quality and fast and av goggles input for next fpv system. That would be the kill move.

I have DJI, I like it. Mostly leaving a comment for the evil algorithm.

I'm ok with DJI taking the lead if they didn't create fake obsolesce on their hardware to force customers into buying newer goggles.

I had analog for years, then went to hdzero and finnaly moved to o3. Wouldnt go back now.

Yeah, not a surprise indeed, Pawel. I fly a lot of micros and DJI isn't really micro friendly... But Walksnail is. And in terms of quality, it gets really close. Surprisingly close I'd say... So, that would be my choice - IF I had the money, of course. Until then, analog for me. 😬 Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊 BTW, I REALLY miss those split cameras... 😕

if you "just want to fly" ... DJI is by far the best, its like the apple of FPV, you buy it, turn it on, and it works. there are many things i not like/hate on DJI systems, but the advantages are just undeniable. it's the same with radio, eveyone is horny about ELRS, even when it was early beta, i still rocking TBS, and have no plan on changing that (never touch a running system)

Walksnail

If my budget was unlimited I would use them all, depending of what I needed for the specific situation

Analog 1.2 ghz

dji its good system but fly with ping its not good. Hdzero rules

With 1.000.000 i gonna buy all systems that exist. 😂

i have nothing but problems any walksnail non1-s vtxs. they are garbage. 1s is great though

Nothing is as good as DJI

All of it! all of them! i want i ALL….. if I was a millionaire i build a house for all my FPV shit😎

If im a millionaire i buy both n enjoy what i want when i want...lol

OpenIPC is at the dipping point of being in stores. Gen 2 Hardware is currently developed. Just keep an eye open for the system.

also analog -> 1) Low Latency 2) Easily shared video feed with others which means very social friendly (very important for me)

walksnail dji too expensive not open sourced walksnail yuou can atleast get antennas etc for it

Have O3 quads and HDZero. I haven’t touched my 03 stuff since buying HDzero. I just have a lot more fun with HDzero, Even have 2 identical 5” builds one 03 one freestyle v2 and i always choose HDzero. I’m probably going to pick up a walksnail vrx just so I can try them all but I’m surprised to see everyone saying walksnail is for the community… the whole goggles x debacle, them not releasing official firmware to fix the issues all their products have, instead choosing to make a bunch of beta firmware releases. Also the fact that it will never be as good as DJI, since it’s just old DJI tech. Once 04 comes out their newest best product is moonlight which is comparable to last gen DJI. I just don’t understand the walksnail hype I guess

Open ipc

All I know is that DJI is a horrible company to support regardless of their technology.

A million dollars? I throw it at the OpenIPC project and try to make it the ELRS of FPV systems. I currently fly analog and Walksnail, but both leave me wanting something. Analog has me wanting better visual fidelity, and Walksnail has me wanting cheaper hardware with potential for audio support.

Interesting video. Of course, if you ask people to vote on their favorite restaurant, one person will say Le Bernardin (in New York), one person will say Seta (in Milan, Italy), and a million people will say McDonald's. McDonald's will win by a large margin. So from this vote we can say DJI is the best FPV system in the same way that McDonald's is the best food in the world :)

Openipc is about to dominate. There’s already live audio

Dji, others dont matter

Why so negative about HDZero? Words like BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT clearly show you had absolutely unrealistic ideas about what HDzero is since the beginning. Also, when was HDzero competing with DJI? From the ground up it's a non retransmitting system which is the complete opposite of DJI. It was made to do what DJI cannot. To fill in the gaps. Why the extreme hate for HDzero all the time from you Pawel?

Its not even a question, DJI destroys everything else on the market, even the V1 version is still better than everything else. Then you got O3 and O4, its a flawless victory.

OpenIPC

I wish I could say Walksnail. At this point, the answer is O3. Honestly, WS has their work cut out for them. If they could improve stability, mushiness, and resolve the beta and overheating garbage, I'd really consider it. If they'd had Goggles DVR on Analog in with the Goggles X, I might have bitten the bullet. I have pretty much no interest in HDZero at this time. Yeah, it would be nice for TINY quads, no on-board DVR and that weird digital noise...

OpenIPC for the win! Cheers mate!😊🍻

bardzo fijna wideo. you are brave flying through your samochod, haha. dziekuje (yes my polish sucks, blame my wife for not teaching me, hehe)
