We are just beginning to use these for our fire department drone unit. We USED to use the DJI Goggles RE (“racing edition”) with our older Mavic-2 Zoom and it apparently operated by receiving the video signal from the drone via RF directly. The Mavic-2 actually had the PHENOMENAL feature of “Dual Operators”. You could bind two separate controllers to the drone and one would be “master” and the other “slave”. Forgive the racism and misogyny and whatever the term of the day is in Clown World 2023🤡. (we used the mini controller provided with the Mavic-2 and the original “smart controller”). Then we switched up to the Mavic-3 and love it now that it doesn’t take 15 minutes to get a GPS lock. We have been using the Mavic-3’s with the Orqa FPV One Pilot goggles and they are fantastic and have a great “face fit” for most of our users. It’s also very lightweight. The only problem = When used with our wireless HDMI transmission system, it fails with an “unsupported HDMI device” message. We feed a small active powered 4-port HDMI splitter with the RC-Pro HDMI output and have multiple devices plugged into the splitter. Goggles / transmitter / portable “Pelican Case / BestView monitor” / optional second set of goggles for an additional observer. The HD-Zero goggles do not give us the same errors / problems and have outstanding video quality! But… our only minor complaints: it is HEAVY and has horrible foam supplied with it. HD-Zero has been incredibly responsive to our questions and with all communication. That is truly a rare thing nowadays. Now if only DJI would provide an HDMI input ??!!?? 😎
@@rp479 I don't know, there's a lot of people who like to complain about computer hardware naming protocols, (and anything else they can point to as a source of hurt feelings)as if it's hurting them somehow. Slave & master is what the system is called, dumb dumbs complain, and fain outrage… I don't blame the person for showing a little annoyance.
I agree for the foam, I use some sky04x false leather foam from Banggood and it's much more comfortable (and a better fit for the eyes) Why do you use goggles with a mavic though ? Isn't a bigger screen better ?
@@metalfpv thanks for the foam tip!! The goggles definitely help to permit you to focus on the terrain you’re scouting when looking for a missing person or other similar activity. I enjoy using them when hobby flying as well. I do have the FPV drone and the Avata but I’m way too chicken to flip the switch into manual/acro mode 😁
I've found that the thermal paste on the 1W VTX was REALLY BAD, had to clean the PCB after a forced bath and since I put some PC thermal paste it doesn't overheat at all and the range and noise is improved.
I've always wished that the Race V2 had some bare bones heat sink on it. Thankfully, they've added a no output mode, so it's not going to vaporize while waiting for GPS or crash retrieval.
I just cancelled my HDZ goggles order.. I want them for mainly the analog DVR on Rapidfire and after watching the performance of the new beta firmware that got released last week to fix the issues.. It is a big fat NO from me.. I will wait until its fixed.. Angry Dons latest video has perfect DVR from an old pair of broken eachine 220d goggles loool. Anyone know what other goggles use the H265 format?? My HD02s turn in to potatoes when you plug in a whoop 💩👇

The only clown I see is you explaining slave and master lol

Thanks for the tip, I'll look at that as well.
@@Inertia888 I think I had a video of the process, it's not rocket science but still
How long can the vtx run without airflow / cooling before becoming damaged?
The heat sinks are not sucking the heat away. The thermal transfer paste isn't working at all well.....🤔😳🙄🇬🇧
Wonder in august under the sun what the temp will be. Interesting!!
Pretty interesting. Makes me want to play with a thermal camera more!
Dont turn your fans down to make them quiet, and then run them all day in the summer sun...on low settings...
👍🏼 Outstanding video… as always.
Thank you.
Is it just me or are those heatsinks doing NOTHING? SHouldn't they be showing heat as they help the chip shed it?
Great video thank you.😊
Great Video!
