@@eduardoluisbaptistadeolive8542 Like Albert said, high-end snapdragon on Android is recommended. So higher-end and more expensive hardware is needed on the receiver and ground station side. At least the air units looks to be pretty cheap.
They can definitely improve the board designs on this. Looks like they just slapped a bunch of things together without really thinking things through. They will probably be an updated version of this in less than a month. I'm calling it now. Please enter me for the scrubber, thanks.
When will you be testing the EMAX version of this? RunCam should also make the ground station as well. It seems a little hard to get the receiver side to work right now based on your testing. Please enter me for the scrubber, thanks.
The guy doing freestyle with this system is using a self build camera setup linked to a Linux ground station 😊 That said, I'm seeing claims of 35ms latency with the RadXa VRX, too.
I believe with faster processing on the receiver side, super low latency is definitely possible. I've been looking for a guide on how to build that Radxa VRX but not having any luck so far...
@@AlbertKimTV the link I recently replied with takes you directly to the OpenIPC GitHub with the necessary files and instructions for setting up the Radxa Zero 3W. I don't think it passed your check.
Looks very promising. Thanks for trailblazing for us! If you aim the camera at the phone's screen, you can easily judge the latency by seeing how quickly it fills with many smaller feedback images.
These open source DIY projects are what make FPV interesting. So tired of the BS hdzero hype. This is much better. Like you said, it's still early days so hopefully we will see more options on the transmitter and receiver side. Looking forward to more of your videos and please share the EMAX system ASAP.

HDZERO is worthless. I burned 3 VTXes after only a few flights and then when I asked why they told me I must have done something wrong. Worthless products and worthless pilots!
Very interesting and exciting to see. I have seen some videos explaining openipc, no where near this level of completeness . For those interested in projects and open source, this could fun. It looks like the emax version has a ground station rx. Wondering if it can be linked to goggles or only android phones? 🤔
Looks like they have half of the equation here. They need googles and a complete ground station solution. Using Android phones as a platform is a bit sketchy since the majority of android hardware is low quality and not very good as you have shown in this video. Also, it looks like the other ground station solutions either don't work or are difficult for most people to set up. Like you said, this is early days so hopefully progress will be quick here.

Great to see runcam releasing an open IPC beta product. 2 standoff on one side does seem risky 🤔. Sure the next future versions will be better in all ways, the build, latency, and eventually goggles. Maybe a gaming pc might be ideal seems like you need a very capable video processor on you android device. Awesome review and thanks for testing. Will wait for future versions.

Imagine getting this tech into all those cheap drones sending vid to android phones already just with huge latency. That market is massive and if they could mass produce a simpler smaller version of this whith all done in an Android app this could be BIG. One can now get cheap Orange pi boards with Android as receivers. All we lack now is a miniscule plug'n play TX.
Currently I could see this geared towards RC cars and planes. IMO, FPV drones requires goggles and I dont see how this easily integrates into existing goggles even if there was an HDMI option, it would just be too messy. Pretty neat that this even exists and I'm excited to see where it goes. I'd definitely be interested to see what the range looks like. Slap this on a cheap drone haha
I already saw someone make a VRX like the Walksnail one and plugged into his HDZERO goggles via HDMI and he said latency is as good as DJI O3 which is kinda insane.
I would also really like to see some h264 latency and quality comparison. To my understanding h265 has much higher processing demand and hardware decoding isn’t as widely supported on older hardware.
It might have potential. Osd? Build your own vtx as most fpv pilots don't fly off an android screen and current form factor looks useful for a 5 inch or a wing.
@@AlbertKimTV It was from a reply by MarioFPV in one of his recent videos "Introducing OpenIPC RunCam AIO" "We are developing OpenIPC goggles. I posted a video for the honorary members of the first prototype. Cheers mate" MarioFPV
Ooh nice, so is this possible to have the phone with a hotspot on the vehicle to go endless distance? Then use another device to pick up the signal from that onboard phone? I'm curious to use this on a long range fpv rc.
That setup sounds strange, not sure I follow. There are videos available showing long range flights using OpenIPC. I think 80km was the last one I remember seeing.
Hey Albert, about the latency, just some anecdotal evidence here to support what you're talking about... I started in FPV using my smartphone as screen, with the Eachine USB video receiver (I forgot the name) and a VR Box... And it worked great at the time, I had a Galaxy Note 4, that was top of the line at the time... Then, when I had to replace it with a cheaper model... It became unusable. The latency went sky high! So, even the phone you have can affect your experience, unfortunately. 😕
We should know more in a few months. RunCam and EMAX are already working on hardware so there's definitely more companies working under the radar on this for sure.
Looks like should be the Radxa Zero 3W/3E is what you want for the receiver / VRX unit, and that gets the latency down to under 50ms... Don't think the raspberry pi has onboard h265 decoder which is why the Radxa is preferred if you want to bring the latency down. This might be interesting to play with on some surface gear... Thanks for the video, looking forward to seeing how this evolves.
Yeah, that's the basic premise of this video. Better hardware = better latency. While this combo has the receiver module, the more important and more expensive part is the decoding hardware which will play a big part in the user experience. Perhaps I did not do a good enough job explaining this?
@@AlbertKimTV That will probably be more evident in the followup video, when you have the hardware to do the comparison. And necessarily need more expensive hardware, just hardware with the right capabilities. I.e. AI/LLM focused hardware isn't gonna help here when we need hardware GPU stuff. ;)
