    35:35 Also, if you currently own a pair of good analog goggles, remember that if you buy the HDZero goggles you'll be able to sell them and that'll offset the majority of the extra cost for the HDZero goggles. Whereas if you buy the walksnail goggles you'll have to keep those goggles if you still want to fly analog at all.

      For me these days, the range on digital walksnail is so much better than analog, as in perfect picture through trees and at a distance too, It's not about the picture, it's mainly about the latency feel. After some digital flying you get better at predicting and reacting to bad signal. Analog still feels better, but not by much, it is a more accurate fly with analog. @@ST19859

    Great video and really helped me learn some different system options and their features.. I like how the Hdzero has a built-in mic, because even though you can hear the fan's, you can still hear everything your saying just fine..
    I really like the open-source HDZero goggles, and beginning to think more and more about ditching DJI just out of principal. In my opinion when your spending that much on something and you cant even control even the most basic settings if not already available, then youre basically screwed with the Dji stuff. I wouldnt be surprised if Dji adds remote id modules in a new version of the air unit so that it can be "easily activated when use on drone's over 250g". This might appeal to a lot of people who want to keep things more simple and stay compliant, but that sure seems like a slippery slope to me if i ever saw one lol.. Bc you know prob the best how Dji operates and basically never listen's to their customers unless its going to sell more new drones or the newest accessories conveniently required for new features they add and tease in your face. Im looking at you DJI, and not supporting the Air 2s, not supporting the FPV Goggles V2's, and also not being able to use the Motion Controller v1, you need the MCv2!! .. which is kind of crazy just to use your camera drones in fpv mode a few times lol.. Not to mention the new DJI RC controller sticks and buttons already work (no video, displays a custom error message for needing the MC2 to fly it, but you connect everything and then power off the MC2 off, and then the DJI RC on, while the drone is already taken off and hovering somewhere away from the home point, and then fly with the RC controller now as an unofficial workaround that works perfectly, but they still dont officially support it yet...
    Its a shame the Goggles2 have no Video Input at all, but they really should have HDMI-input for that price and it would justify the differences in the goggles2 and new goggles integra.
    Especially when the cheaper version has built-in gps which at this point for a dji drone like an Avata, its much easier to take off rather than plugging in the phone every time. Or maybe thats still the case anyway idk.

    The one reason to get the 4-in01 internal protocol on my RadiioMaster TX16S Mark II Max Radio Controller (M2) × 1 ELRS (FCC) / AG01 Hall Gimbal / Carbon Fiber Red" is because later I cold have added an external ELRS module providing the full flexibility available. I choose ExpressLRS as its more powerful and a matching, open source, mindset just like HDZero. So they are a perfect match and there are tons of options for ELRS units.

  • @jonowillmer
    @jonowillmer Год назад +3

    Thank you Joshua for giving this product a fair review and highlighting the pros and cons. As a owner of these goggles I feel your overview was thorough and accurate. Tomorrow I should be receiving my walksnail vtx which I'm looking forward to trying out. The two downsides of these goggles for me are not the goggles fault themselves, but my genetics, 1 my astigmatism means without my contacts in I can't get the view perfectly clear(I'm hoping that those lenses make their way to market soon) and 2 the faceplate fits nicely, but because my stupid forehead sticks out further than my cheekbones by a fair bit, the goggles are on an angle facing down a bit, so I don't get to line up the lenses square to my face, I need to figure out a way of padding the lower portion of the foam. There is no light leak for me just the alignment issue.
    Please make sure you do some follow up videos with these goggles and can you please cover how the goggles are able to produce the Walksnail 100fps mode on the 90fps screens, I assume it's done with some converting to drop those extra 10fps?
    Thank you again and enjoy your weekend.

    • @JoshuaBardwell
      @JoshuaBardwell  Год назад +4

      There's no conversion of frames. That's a very good question. According to Carl, the screens are rated for 90fps, and DJI and Walksnail overdrive them to 100fps. This reduces their lifespan and Carl didn't want to do it. But he decided that 720p 100 was ok I guess and decided to do it.

      Oh dude! This needs to be pinned because knowing this was open source, I felt like this reflected badly on the codebase because even with high latency or reduced frame rate / quality doing this should be possible and would have been added by somebody, long ago. Glad to see I was right, hahah, a feature getting clobbered in an optional update is not a big deal, I presume firmware can be rolled back, so I think i'll make these goggles my first purchase :)

    This was excellent information and this was one of the last things I havebeen trying to research and learn. I have been researching how to get optimal reuse of all possible gear for mix and matching and flyihn many different builds. Miniwhoops. 31/2", 5" (AOS 5.3"), 6", 7", 8", etc. I first bought a JDI Mini 4 Pro FLy more combo for my 1st drone and quickly learned I was boxed into that tech when looking to buy other platforms and reuse the gear. To do that, EVERYTHING would have to be all JDI - for the most part. So I have been trying to learn which goggles and controllers provide optimal reuse for all the listed platforms both for Freestyl, Race and L/D where possible. Tooks lots of research and naturally, no one wants to own 1-for-1 goggles and controllers per drone. That's NUTS!! That's what I did weeks of research for to mitigate. This video pretty much put it all in a nutshell. I already know controllers from mu history with RC on 1/8, 1/10, 1/12, and 1/18th scale car/truck platforms from backing the days. TEam ASsociated, Losi, etc. But the FPV and all related hardware and the GPS stuff was all new. The speed controller stacks and wiring harnesses different too naturally. But brushless and electronic speed contorller (ESC) I know all about. This instruction informed me of everything I was wondering about. What was the best reuse, and covering analog and HD. I will not be buying anything JDI anymore, but know I understand how to pick and choose the bind-and-fly (BNF) drones. With the HDZero, we can match receivers and cameras for the drone and desired output. And I can use the HDZero on pretty much every drone, except any BNFs that someone purchased with the JDI air receiver and matching camera. And the HDZero opens up the flexibility to purchase other platforms with other receiver3es, digital or analog and run them all in a single headset. I also grabbed a "TX16S Mark II Max Radio Controller (M2) × 1 ELRS (FCC) / AG01 Hall Gimbal / Carbon Fiber Red" radio for now and that one should work well as a central unit to control all builds as well. And we also have the nice DHZero VRX units, so we can use our HDZero builds in other headsets potentially when needed or when curious. The missing information and gaps really helped to finish painting the whole picture and I think I have it now. The next step is to use the built in or better mics and start receiving and transmitting voice commands from the goggles / headsets. Thats the next logical step I would think, that along with more integrated movement controls w/ some augmented reality. Do you think the flagship TX16S MarkII Max with all the upgrades is a good radio for awhile? And was it a mistake to grab the ELRS version compared to the 4-in-1?" The RadioMaster Boxer top of line looks decent as well, but not as nice as a screen. Should I have grabbed the 4-in-1 protocol or the ELRS and can I change those modules later if its helpful?? I used affiliate links to purchase a bunch including the HDZero kit with Freestyle cam and receiver kit and more. Keep up the good work!!!!

    I could sell a couple pairs of goggles and swing the the HDZero goggles, but I like having a separate set of goggles for 2.4ghz and 5.8ghz-analog and 5.8ghz-digital (Walksnail). All of my goggles are capable of 5.8ghz analog, but I don't like to change internal modules on my Fatsharks, and I don't like to change the channels on my other goggles. I like my stuff to be standardized.

    Okay review but a lot missing which I was expecting you'd cover, e.g. I was shocked that you didn't do a flight test of the goggles around your backyard, or a comparison to the VRX to say whether penetration was better, or a test of WalkSnail VRX on these to see whether it was better than your earlier test with Orcas, or even a test of the analog video to see if you could notice a difference from the new interlacer?

    Pretty much nailed it on all counts. I fall into that last category of pilots who are simply all in on Walksnail at this point, and I bought the Avatar goggles during the crazy coupon deal they were doing. If I were doing it again today, I might consider these and the WS VRX module, but it'd be a tough call since I don't really want to fly analog anymore at all. And while you can build a slightly lighter whoop on HDzero, the WS 1s lite vtx and camera is light enough to meet my demands for the 75mm and 85mm builds I usually fly. I have no interest in flying HDzero on my 5" freestyle builds - I know it has improved since I first flew it, but I think Walksnail (which is still improving with every firmware update) absolutely unalives it for image quality and penetration in the environments I tend to fly. All in all, I'm just glad there are good options to fit almost anyone wanting to move to or start with digital FPV at this point, and it seems the competition should continue to benefit end users. I also think HDzero is setting a great example for how companies should respond to user input in this space.

    I wish I could justify getting the hdzero goggles right now. I use the DJI V2 for work but still really like flying analog for fun. There is something more intense flying analog that is still there on hdzero but no DJI.
    I'm trying to justify just having HD zero for myself and then use walksnail for work. But ultimately I'll probably upgrade to the DJI goggles 2

    As you stated the optics are from one source.

The question is do these google really go to plus 6. This is another reason if they do go to the advertised range they are the only pair that do.

    I've been wanting to fly a real drone for half a year and I watch videos about it every week. But I only fly with my aquila16. I have now ordered stronger batteries so that I can fly manually. Did my first tricks with it yesterday.
    I wish it had more video range. It quickly has problems with the signal if there are obstacles in between.
    I bought a Radio Master Pocket for the simulator. fits in the hand like an xbox controller. Nazgul is on my list, I'll fly the Aquilla until she doesn't want to go anymore, then I'll think of something
    There is just so much to consider on the software and hardware side.
    Even if you have money, it's difficult. what do I want to do with it?
    What should the drone be able to do?
    Adjusting the sensitivity of the sticks in the simulator took me days and needs to be further adapted to my flying skills.

    I understand the time you put into these videos and I'm very grateful that you share them with us, but I gotta say I was a little disappointed that the potential for added latency over an hdmi cable from the Walksnail vrx to the HD zero goggles wasn't addressed in this video, especially considering you have some nice equipment to test for latency.

      I watched the Walksnail vrx review again because I couldn't remember for sure. The HD02 had the same latency as the Dominator HD, the Orqa had approximately 8 ms additional latency and the 7" display had approximately 38 ms additional latency. Considering the HD02 has the same latency through hdmi as the Dominator HD it can certainly be done without additional latency. I guess it would just be nice to have confirmation, and it would be really interesting to see test results at 100 fps with the HDZ patch. My guess is he's probably planning to do this and I guess I just need to be patient ;)

Just wait until they make a 120fps camera 🤤 you can put a walksnail receiver on it with no performance drops or anything so might as well just get the hdzero goggles if you have the money.
