Great videos Joshua, For anyone doing this update to Walksnail be aware that you will need to update betaflight firmware to 4.4 otherwise the OSD goes off centre. The HD setting in 4.4 is needed to sort this out.
Whats the foampadding on these goggles in video. It looks wider and more comfortably than stock. (I do like the fake leather quality of the original only wish it was a bit wider... so depeninding on price im willing to try aftermarket foam)
Hey Joshua, big fan! I decided to pickup a Walksnail Vrx and V2 Vtx with HD Pro camera at the end of April. Unfortunately both items came defective, direct from Caddx. The V2 Vtx won't connect to any PC, even after being sent a replacement USB-C breakout cable, and the Vrx had to be disassembled to get the record button to function properly. On top of that, Caddx support has been ignoring my questions about the refund period. It's been a whole month now with a very expensive paper weight! Have you heard of any other QC issues with Walksnail products? This is my first dive into digital FPV and so far it hasn't been positive.
Have you gotten your issue resolved? I bought the Walksnail Goggles X and the Moonlight kit. The moonlight blinks green and the only thing I see in the goggles is that I'm connected to channel 1. Just the splash screen, no image. I'm wondering if I got a defective unit.
My Goggles won't update to the 38.43.8 my vtx has the 38.43.8 I'm able to bind and see video but on boot up of the goggles it says firmware versions do not match
Looking for a little help hopefully someone or the main man himself can help me. Recently got the jb special edition radiomaster tx16s with his voice pack. I've set up a few of them. Arm, acro. Turtle. My quad has gps. And there is a gps locked sounds. I want it to say it when the drone gets a 3d fix. I get sat count through telemetry. But setting up a special function with Sat's or gps as the trigger makes it say it right away when powered on even without the quad being on. Am I missing something. Or can we just not make it say it. I was hopping we could set a special function with say when it reports 10 or more stats through telemetry it would say it then
Can you please make a video on how to change custom font in case of the new walksnail firmware that is just released. Its not taking the conthrax sneaky FPV font
Hi Joshua, I’m having a problem with my new walksnail avatar vrx. I have updated the firmware to 37.42.5 using the AvatarSE_Gnd_37.42.5.img and did a “reset all”. Then I added the avatar_pwr.txt and the avatar_std.txt to the sd card and I get the 8 channels but the power only goes to 500mW. What am I missing.
How many cells do you guys use to power on your vrx during updates? The only power rail available to me on my flight controller is full voltage on 6s. How do you prevent overheating?
Awesome. I am using a power supply at 7 volts. I am running into the same issue you had with a finicky usb. At first the receiver would connect and disconnect like yours, but now I am getting nothing. Any advice?@@JoshuaBardwell
I have tried 3 different SD cards with my new goggles. It always says no sd on the goggles. I tried formatting but never says anything. Do you think I got a defective goggles?
I'm waiting on my first drone but I'll sure wait and see the VTX version before updating the goggles, I heard the last 2--3 versions are quite bad because of the spectator mode or something like that.
you should mention that you must format the SD card on the goggles first then put the firmware if you have not used the goggles before and have not done this it will be a struggle
Sorry - but, I was happy to see you struggle with that poorly designed vtx update /storage cable. Lol - its so frustrating. I can't wait until they move away from that completely (er um - I hope they do).
Each cable for each vtx is different but very similar - make sure you are using the right cable. The one included should be the right one. Other than that - last time I used a usb extender to have plenty of cable length and I used some putty to help hold it in place so I could update without it disco'ing on me. @@yusukie88
Love your content, Joshua thank you for all your help in the community
Great videos Joshua, For anyone doing this update to Walksnail be aware that you will need to update betaflight firmware to 4.4 otherwise the OSD goes off centre. The HD setting in 4.4 is needed to sort this out.
Can you just remove the crosshairs, instead of updating Betaflight?
Is walksnail backwards compatible? Alot of people are saying the old firmware is better?
You make very useful videos Joshua 😊. Thank you for your work
Whats the foampadding on these goggles in video. It looks wider and more comfortably than stock. (I do like the fake leather quality of the original only wish it was a bit wider... so depeninding on price im willing to try aftermarket foam)
It's the DJI goggle foam from NewBeeDrone. It's a little over-sized but I make it work.

@JoshuaBardwell What is that goggle foam please? EDIT: Sorry, just saw your answer to the previous person asking this!
somehow i have to press the bind buttons everytime i switch batteries on the drone it doesnt "remember" that it was bound before
super annoying

Trying to fond a way to get voltage on osd for walksnail goggs with the speedybee app?
Can you please make a video on how to change custom font in case of the new walksnail firmware that is just released. Its not taking the conthrax sneaky FPV font
After updating the firmware, I lost the OSD. Any suggestions?
Question - Do i need to bump versions ony by one, or can i Just download latest and install it right away?

This is my first hd system for freestyle. I ordered the stand alone vrx. Will I need to update it as soon as I get it?
You don't need to but I would.
So do we not have to reset the goggles and reconnect to the vrx anymore after the firmware update? I remember being told that.
Hey josh if I sent you my cli for my tinyhawk 2 freestyle could you help me I can’t figure it out I’m sure I screwed things up I’m new to the hobby
Guessing I bricked mine, it is no longer beeping or anything when I press any buttons and can't get an output.
i have a problem at the end of the bipping the goggles doesn't reboot and the goggles are not upgrade.What must i do ? Thanks
I downloaded the 32. 37.10 update. Everything says it's connected but I only have a black screen.
where did he get that foam on his googls ?
How many cells do you guys use to power on your vrx during updates? The only power rail available to me on my flight controller is full voltage on 6s. How do you prevent overheating?
Overheating doesn't depend on input voltage. I use a fan to blow on the vTX to keep it cool while working on the bench.
Awesome. I am using a power supply at 7 volts. I am running into the same issue you had with a finicky usb. At first the receiver would connect and disconnect like yours, but now I am getting nothing. Any advice?@@JoshuaBardwell
Give it more than 7v and see if that brings it back to life. Maybe you are on the edge of minimum voltage.
Will the Walksnail Avatar work with the Fatshark Dominator HD2s? Is 720 vs 800x600 going to result in a blank screen?
Does the DVR on the VTX always record, or only when you hit record on the goggles? I can't find an answer in the manual.
You can set in the goggle menu if you want to auto record to the VTX or to the goggles or to both.
@@disco.volante Cool thanks.
What firmware would I use for the cobra x goggles ? I have the nano rx
This is the same procedure for the VRX.
Yes.
I have tried 3 different SD cards with my new goggles. It always says no sd on the goggles. I tried formatting but never says anything. Do you think I got a defective goggles?
Have you formatted to the right... Umm
. Format? Fat32 or the other one?
i have the same issue. do you solved it?
What foam are you using on the goggles JB??
It's the Newbeedrone DJI foam. It's not a perfect fit.
@@JoshuaBardwell in what way is it not a perfect fit? I need an upgrade from the stock foam...
@@JoshuaBardwell thank you.
I tried both 34.40.15 (beta) and 33.39.10 but none would work :-( I have the fast bit you are mentionning in the video. could it be the SD card?
I'm waiting on my first drone but I'll sure wait and see the VTX version before updating the goggles, I heard the last 2--3 versions are quite bad because of the spectator mode or something like that.
Where did you get the goggle foam?
It's Newbeedrone DJI foam. It's a little over-sized but I make it work.
Do you have to reset your goggle's every time
Not any more.
Hell yeah, thank you.Much appreciated my guy
you should mention that you must format the SD card on the goggles first then put the firmware if you have not used the goggles before and have not done this it will be a struggle
what is best quad parts for dji o3 air unit?
Here's a build I did that's pretty good: ruclips.net/video/SOOSyyIQuKc/видео.html&ab_channel=JoshuaBardwell
@@JoshuaBardwell
How about speedybee master hd frame. Is it good
is this the firmware where the range is greatly reduced?
I'm not sure the Dominator manual has this information...
I was so excited because I thought there was new firmware available (=
Thanks a bunch for the tutorial, Joshua! 😊
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Sorry - but, I was happy to see you struggle with that poorly designed vtx update /storage cable. Lol - its so frustrating. I can't wait until they move away from that completely (er um - I hope they do).
Is there a trick to making the connection? I cant seem to get it to work. It's constantly disconnecting and connecting.
Each cable for each vtx is different but very similar - make sure you are using the right cable. The one included should be the right one. Other than that - last time I used a usb extender to have plenty of cable length and I used some putty to help hold it in place so I could update without it disco'ing on me. @@yusukie88
those little vtx plugs suck
I use a USB extension cord...
thats a really good idea. Its frustratingly short.
