Thanks for the most useful review (to me) I've seen on this TX unit. I'm not that familiar with all the CADDX architecture and didn't realise the 1080P bottleneck until I saw this video. Those other installation and antenna considerations are likewise important that I hadn't picked up on any other videos. Much appreciated and I hope you get continued support/work from CADDX, you are the right man for it.
Thank you. I’m glad the video was helpful. I do try to make folks aware of any issues I have so that they can avoid them of have a work around. It’s great to hear that it has been helpful 👍🏻
I design PCB boards and I use micro SD card slots like here 3:30 . As a designer you use them to gain some PCB area to mount components and keep overall board smaller. This type memory card slot has smallest footprint. Ofcourse everyone need to consider how this will impact ergonomics of the product and how it will be implemented in the product housing.
@M-H433 That there is a chance they chose that type of memory card slot not because they were stupid, but because they wanted product to be as small as possible.
FPV flight is a LOT more environmentally friendly than any other form of leisure flying and yet all we get is a little bit of borrowed airspace and a low power smidgen of the radio transmission spectrum. Needs to change. Fair access to airspace is easily possible without reducing safety. For example - how about manned aircraft staying above 2000 feet and away from registered model flying sites?
Hi thanks, for your video. Some insights form me: 1. It might be that they are avoiding MMCX because it will increase likelihood that user will power it up without antennas. They will burn 2W RF power amplifier and will go to social media to beat them that hardware is crap. 2. They might need different RF channel directly connected to internal antenna for a pit mode because the chipset is limited with built in attenuators and they can not attenuate 2W PA input enough to limit the power at the output to meet pit mode levels. I know that because I design RF electronics and have faced that situation where my RF chipset + PA lowest power setting is too big for what we needed in low range binding mode. 3. I see quite often people interpret digital system RF power output with that mystical theory. In reality Digital and Analog RF outputs are the same if you treat them the same. The difference comes from the fact that digital systems are sending in packets. One time period VTX is sending, the other it is not. That pause between packets gives lower average power that all cheap RF Power meters are measuring. On the other hand if with real time spectrum analyzer you will grab and freeze single packet it will still appear lower power because all these fast video links are using spread spectrum modulations like some flavor of OFDM ant they spread declared RF power over the full bandwidth. While analog transmitters are single modulated wave RF, what you se is what you get.
It's a very Caddx product in that it's very cool, I'm glad they've made it. And it comes with the "but..." Some very strange design choices. I've recently read that this VTX is not natively compatible with the new camera gimbals? Strange SD slot. And currently if you want to use this with a Moonlight you either end up with a camera you aren't using or you purchase 2 kits and swap around the bits. Just strange.
Nah, caddx isn't getting anymore of my money until they fix the system. The firmware is complete shit, after the pro cam compatible firmware was released it's like we have reverted to day one of release with the ground smear and the shitty penetration. All caddx can seem to do is keep releasing different versions of the same hardware. FIX THE FIRMWARE CADDX.

Thank you for the most informative review i saw on this unit. Really good point that you made about the input voltage.
Keep it deep 🎉
Glad it was helpful 👍🏻
It's been almost a year since I last flew anything. Just kinda got bored with it. But still watch the videos...
Mate I’m exactly the same! 😮🤝
Good, informative vid 👍🏻
Thank you so much for your clips. It helps allot.👍👍🙌🙌
You’re welcome. I’m glad the video helped 👍🏻
Enjoyed this one very informative

And whats your point here?...

@@Mr.Laidukas can only be as big as an SDCard.a locking device takes no more.
Can you recommend Frsky receivers for use in gas and glow aircraft? Thanks
Is the WalkSnail Avatar HD Goggles L works with GEPRC Cinelog25 V2 HD Wasp Quadcopter?
I don’t know. I don’t have that frame so can’t check the size.
Sure, the Goggles L will work with it if it has a Walksnail vtx.

Good idea. Issue is, drone delivery companies want to fly in our airspace for the same reasons.

Great overview Darren. I have a GT on the way too? Btw what happened to INaV Wingtalk?

Have you messaged them with this?
MMCX is the way to go, u.fl are just to fragile.
