There’s a difference between wanting a camera for image quality and just for visual feedback, as far as IQ, bitrate, color bit depth, log profile, sensor size, DJI O4 is heads and shoulders above the rest. Heck its better than Gopros.
People need to remember this. An 04 (lite) is $110 vs $180 for an o3 or $230 for an o4 Pro. A vista setup still cost you $140. Not a direct comparison.
Honestly you should compare vista and o4. It's the closest competitor - vista was just a bit more expensive than o4 at the cheapest point. I for example have maybe 5 Vistas and wouldn't mind replacing them by o4 if they are better in most / all ways. I think for newcomers Vistas don't matter, but as someone already in the hobby I'd like to know if I can replace Vistas by o4 and use o4 pro only for special uses or I should use o4 pro everywhere to not get worse image / range.
What kind of small 2-3 axis gimbal could be used with the N3 google head tracker? Any idea if the googles/o4 would work independently from the remote? A tiny swappable head tracking fpv system would be sweet.
with the 04 systems already on the neo, avatar 2 and few other drones like the mini 4 pro, all running 04 transmission and add googles 3, controller 3 that's a perfect combination. thats wat i went with. jst waiting on the 04 air unit to add to my 5 inch custom freestyle quads. no looking back now walksnail.
I guess the change from Walksnail to o4 (lite) can be hard if you go from 150-160° FoV to 117°- this will suck for some. But the picture quality surely is amazing. The o4 pro however... crazy good
I'm in v2 so upgrade to g3 or waiting for new Avata 3? I'm good in o3, the only change I make if I fly for work in night but I don't know the o4 pro are good in night condition to change v2+o3 for g3+o4
Finally going to upgrade from v1 goggles and vista, integra v2 or v3 V2 seems better than v3 to me (I hate the forehead mount idea) but I’m haveing a hard time seeing the options the v2 have making a difference for me, and the integra are newer right?
"Vista not worth my time", why do I feel attacked by this lol I'll still buy the runcam link today, its bulletproof and a comparison is most definitely still relevant and interesting. It still has the highest customer base than any of the digital vtx's and works flawlessly for the price, thinking other wise is pretty ignorant.
I am in the same boat with RAKEFPV. I really want to make the jump but in my case my only issue with walksnail is how fragile the 1s unit is. I am happy with the walksnail hd v2 with the pro camera on my bigger quads. WS keeps sending me new units so thats nice but I have had all the issues. Weak camera cable, camera glitches, VTX acting up and losing 90% of its range etc..... All these symptoms occurred after a light crash. It has got to the point I just prefer analog whoops over HD. So I am building my last WS quad "3.5 AOS" and I am just going to fly them till they fail. Then i'll jump to DJI but ill continue analog for now until either they get a DJI whoop under 30grams or I snag some HDZero goggles for cheap.
The Vista is 27g with a full size Nebula Pro cam and a polarized antenna.
Decased with a Nebula Nano and a lightweight antenna its around 14 grams.
I've done what you suggested (switching 1 WS whoop over to o4 lite), and now I'm 100% switching the rest over. It really is a night and day difference
500 for the g3s isn't so bad when you pay full price for the v1 or v2 goggles
3:00 betafpv just released a 1s o4 lite drone
Meteor75 Pro O4 is out!

Does the O4 unit work ok with ardupilot? Does the OSD work? Thanks.

ay kayou gang 💪
@ aye kayou ftw 💪😄
I found the FoV change jarring at first but switching to 4:3 and its much better
@itsjase92 it's the only way I can fly o4 lite - 4:3 wide 😉

I’m in the same boat as you. Here in Europe the G3 is €600 so still really pricey. Have the v2 and 03 happy with that I’m not a professional.

O4 doesn't arm with inav 😡😡😡🤬
