Yea, there is that balance. Desire to share vs real world interest. My kids were only mildly interested when they were younger. Now, they can't be bothered with fpv/RC. :(
The fact it has hdmi out is very good though, can replace your hdz rx or act as a ground station. I can imagine a decent amount of people buying this who dont mind the bulk
Yeah I feel this. I'm the weird drone nerd to all my friend and family. (The non drone friends lol 😆) Sadly I feel drones especially fpv will always be niche.
Great overview of the new HDZero fpv screen. Besides being able to share the experience of flying fpv with friends and family. This makes a great bench tool, much easier to use when working on your builds video system. HDZero and Analog. It has built-in analog as well as HDZero, auto switching and shared antennas. Happy flying everyone. 😎
Hi Nick, I like it, I have been flying analog and I still use my EV-800D as a monitor. Now people who use HDzerro can do the same. Thanks for the video and information about this monitor.
@@NickBurnsFPV both, when im with the kids they can watch and when with friends its got very tribal with DJI watching DJI, WS watching WS etc - when we watch only in the goggles we are excluding our own friends, i've built a peli case that has a cap card for WS, cosmostreamer to view DJI, and now with the the HDZ monitor we can watch all 4 systems on 1 screen in the field :) wish you could buy a pre made one but then it would cost a fortune 🤔
@@NickBurnsFPV both, my kids can now watch, racing i can now watch hdz, and with friends i fly freestyle we all fly different systems and only spectate our own systems, so its got a bit clicky. i've built a pelicase with a screen that displays DJI via cosmostreamer, WS via a cap card, and now with this monitor it will show analog and HDZ, huddling round a screen cheering each other laughing - something i haven't had for the last few years since it got tribal
Thanks for the review! This is amazing! Love that they put Analog into it too. 100% will be ordering one some time this summer, not only a good bench tool, I don't have to have the analog module attached to the goggles for friends to watch (and hopefully get a good idea where I crashed too). Not concerned about no diversity for analog or 2 antenna's vs 4 on HDZero goggles, the price and feature set is well worth the price. With a Deinterlacing DVR to boot for Analog. Thanks for sharing this, Cheers!
I know, everyone says that you shouldn't try to pilot with this monitor, but I am going to try it anyway. What really interests me is the analog features which have de-interlacing and some conversion thing that is said to clean up the analog feed a bit. I am working on a ground station with light box and light hood. If it all works out for analog, then I might, maybe, actually try an HDZero setup on a quad. Currently, I am 100 percent analog and actually get really decent video.
I love how hd zero has options like this which makes me wish i could back them and their products and projects more they will always be the"poor mans" HD 👍🏻great review nick✌🏼
Nice! Ive had a Skyvision HDZero monitor on a my X-lite for a while now but FINELY one that weights less and just in time as I'm finishing a custom build HDZERO/ELRS antenna tracker ground station to move the Skyvision to because I no joke have been looking for another lightly used Skyvison and have even considered buying those cheaper HDZero box goggles and putting its guts in a custom print frame to make my own monitor but not no more..... Thanks Nick, to bad no link on this....
The text is cut off on the TV because the TV has overscan enabled. If you set the HDMI input to computer or game mode, the overscan should get disabled. I wish manufacturers would stop putting overscan in TVs. It's only needed for CRT TVs and makes no sense on a digital display with digital signals.
We do have 3 generations of DJI FPV in the lifetime of the first generation of HDZero. They really need to speed up a bit. I know that it's harder with a custom chip, but maybe that wasn't the best choice.
Ordered one. Wondering if my ELRS controller will interfere with the monitor antennas. Mounted on my boxer/tx16s this would be great for backyard flying or a fixed wing!
I have one on order and I'm really looking forward to it, but it really annoys me that you can't use USB-C power (and the power switch is backwards imo)
I got so burned out on the OSD issues at the beginning I went back to analog, pulled out the shark byte hardware and pulled the receiver module off the front of my goggles. Maybe time to give it another try? Is it easier to setup the osd?
Instead of video and smart audio you solder up a UART, same number of wires, so that’s not more difficult. Settings wise in Betaflight there is a HDZero preset, which is super convenient. In Alpha, Ultra, and Quicksilver flight firmwares it’s just one setting in one location (pretty self explanatory)… but if you don’t select the HDZero preset in Betaflight and manually set it up, you have to change the UART setting in the UART tab for MSP and select the HD OSD option in the OSD tab. Good luck, and happy flying.
If you have an iPad (a modern one with USB-C), you can just buy a $15 USB-C capture dongle, a mini HDMI-to-HDMI cable, and use the Orion iPad app (buy the one the app recommends, not all work), and you'll have roughly $150 still in your pocket out of the $175 that you would have spent on this. The main downside is that this isn't wireless, but since I usually have my iPad Pro around with me anyway, it's one less device for me to carry around.
Ok I feel better about what happened to me yesterday. So I uploaded a video and had my description all done and somehow it was erased! Looks like it may be a youtube glitch seeing as your description is missing also Nick.
If HDZ comes out with a high quality box goggle, I sell my current goggles immediately… With age, focusing on the screens has become more and more difficult. They are too close from my face…
Thanks Nick.. I would like to have one. I've been running a cable from my goggles to my 10" monitor to share. This would be way more convenient.. Great review...🍻 Say, any chance you'll make IO2024❓
@@propsoff yea, I keep thinking one day our schedule will slow down. It could be as I age the schedule does slow down but I am compensating the other way :)
Thanks for another great review! Would you recommend it as an option to get to plug into my walksnail goggles x to fly 1s whoops.either analog or hdzero?
The hdzero does have hdmi out. I am not sure about your goggles having hdmi input to accept it. I do not see a skyzone googles x. Skyzone has various goggles , many with x in the name but nothing with the goggles x name. Caddxfpv has walksnail avatar goggles x goggles. Anyway, anything with hdmi input port would accept hdmi output.
@@NickBurnsFPV My apologies. I have the SKYZONE Cobra X V4 goggles. They have HDMI in & a 1080x720p/60hz screen. Would this would allow me to try HDZero for less money than the VRX, at the cost of two antennas? I know that I want the HDZero goggles next year, and the monitor would then be more useful than the VRX. Also, the analog output from the HDZero monitor is de interlaced & up scaled to 720p.... Is that worth flying? I want to see a video of someone using the hdmi output from the hdzero monitor into an analog goggle. Trying both HDZero and analog. Is the only advantage of the VRX the additional antennas, or does this monitor introduce significant latency making it not worth using. Thank you, :)
@@smika710 No apology needed, I wanted to be sure we are clear and I don't offer incorrect information. yes the cobra x goggles with their hdmi input will work with the screen. The one issue I can see is using the 90fps camera. I suspect that even that camera will work but we certainly see the smoothness of the 90 fps camera. All the other cameras for hdzero to my knowledge are no 90 fps so they should work normally. There is one issue of additional latency due to hdmi processing. We see this with all vrx and hdmi process. If you fly fast and close proximity the latency could be an issue...some are greatly impacted others are not impacted at all.

The internal argument on this one is strong. I really want one but nobody in my life shows any interest in drones.

not that it would be ideal, but this could be used as a VRX? Push the HDMI out to a skyzone goggle HDMI in ?
yes it could be. the downside over the vrx is 2 antenna vs 4.

I wish manufacturers would stop putting overscan in TVs. It's only needed for CRT TVs and makes no sense on a digital display with digital signals.

I'd almost think he'd try this, but he probably also didn't lol.

Pretty cool. Nice review
Hi Nick, I always enjoy your videos. Could you make a tutorial video on flying the whoop aggressively indoors like you do?
Not likely something I would do as there isn't a way to teach someone to fly like someone else. It comes down to practice, not a tutorial.
Cool👍
I have an old FXT Viper Goggle. I wonder if I could 3D print a new cover and mount it on 🤔
DYI it up, anything is possible. HDZero on FXT goggles, get everyone doing a double take at the flying field :)
@@NickBurnsFPV Yep 🤣

@NickBurnsFPV I'm certain I had my description saved, but later on, I rechecked and found mine completely gone! Had to retype out the Timestamps lol 😆
I ordered this thing last week but forgot about the battery.
