    The digital FPV side is so interesting and so cool. I think if I had the money and there was a whoop /micro VTX for this system, I would actually get it.

    after loosing my display cable for my monitor and instead having to use a basic one, i can assure you that 120hz is a very meaningful improvement. not just for latency, and not just for smoothness, but for clarity. coupled with fast pixel response times, like OLED displays can, it can dramatically improve your information about how the drone is moving in short periods of time.

    I've noticed Companies such as Fatshark, Skyzone, Hd zero and others is that they seem to put out products that are not ready for release, prematurely. This leaves us (the consumer) to purchase inferior products as guinea pigs or unsuspecting beta testers only to have a very expensive video system totally discontinued or changed to the point that we regret purchasing the item. These companies are feeding off of die hard enthusiast to fund their R&D. I've now learned to wait a while. However, as quick as things change in FPV, there's no way to keep up unless you are very wealthy. Thanks for your information and honesty. Have a great day!

    What proof do you have that the DJI v3’s won’t be backwards compatible? Is that speculative? You state it as fact in the video and I’d like to hear/see the proof if possible.

    • @AndyRCchannel
      @AndyRCchannel  2 года назад +1

      Caddx saw the dji 03 system and at the time they said they were not gonna be backwards compatible with vistas and caddx only makes profit from the cameras they make for dji and saw no future for the vista and then working with dji in the long run as the new 03 is a bespoke camera by dji with no options for caddx or runcam to make cameras for them ..however what iv now been told is that it is possible they have delayed the release so that it does to try and wipe out walksnail. We won't know now till it is released but when this video came out it was a true fact. Caddx still think they won't be backwards compatible and will discontinue them because it will affect the sales of the new system. And the vistas and air units need 120hz refresh rate... the new goggles are 100hz so they would need a new firmware for the units. No doubt lock up some features while they are at it. They didn't take too kind to the DJI drone having it's power output hacked for Europe and I'm sure with remote I'd coming the restrictions will be even tighter

    Can't find it now, but I've watched a video explaining why h265 can actually be worse than h264 in certain scenarios.
    Was a test with noise patterns, not really a real life problem he said. But if you consider that grass is basically a large noise pattern, it could explain the fuzzy grass problem.
    Personally I never use h265 because storage and bandwidth was never a problem, cpu does become a problem with H265 and is also much more expensive to upgrade compared to storage.
    So it really only makes sense for streaming, but on the other hand, in most of the world bandwidth isn't really a problem.
    Hope I can find that video, thought it was quite interesting.
    And thanks for your always honest and thorough videos.

    Regarding FPS an Human Eye can see:
    1. Most real studies have shown that the max Hz of humans are different from person to person and that the upper limit for most humans is around 230 to 250 hz !!!!
    2. There is a HUGE difference between 60 hz and 144 hz. Almost everyone can see the difference. It just feels smoother and sometimes even better in image quality
    3. Linus tech tips did a test with pro gamers, avarage PC users and PC noobs to see if they can see differences between 60, 144 and 240 hz and other refresh rates.
    It shows that more Hz gives an advantage. Yes because of latency BUT if human eye couldn SEE that shorter latency, why even have a shorter latency at all?
    The thing is, as TV came with 24 fps, everybody said that a human cant see more than 24fps, which is BS.
    Than 60 hz became standart and everybody said "we cant see more than 60 hz" which is BS too!
    Now when we have the technology to have 240 hz any even more, we can REALLY test what the human eye can see.
    I mean, just have a 144 hz and a 60 hz display side by side, like me, and move the mouse or an open folder. you can clearly see that its more fluid. And this is not about latency at all! Its just more fluid!

    8:49 Just as an intersting addition:
    Everyone is sheding light on the HDO2, but little know that Fatshark released the attitude V6 one year later. They feature an evolution of the lens adjustment system (that is actually the one that equips the DominatorHD/Avata now) and are similar in many ways to the HDO2 (even the mainboard got 'HDO2 v1.xx' label) apart from the displays, wich are regular LCDs instead of expensive OLEDs. They could even have trimmed the volume of the goggles, as the Attitude's display modules are way shorter than the Oled modules, it results in an case shell that is mostly empty, lmao.
    They were aimed to be a less expensive alternative to the HDO2. So people wanting to jump on the Sharkbyte HD system without a prior headset (or one w/o hdmi) would not have to pay the 500€ HDOled tax.

Would it be worth hanging on for a bit longer for these newer systems to mature or would you maybe recommend a certain system now?

    Can the Walksnail system even benefit from the advantages of H.265? I always thought the fancy prediction and compression methods required buffering several frames and with 90 Hz frame rate each buffered frame means 11 ms more latency so fpv systems need to use simpler compression methods (both in H.265 and H.265) that basically only use I frames.

Too much fear mongering going around. I invite folks to think for themselves and do take these opinions and reviews with a grain of salt. No secret these comments and opinions are at best biased.

      @@AndyRCchannel In general this "industry" is filled with "opinions" geared toward persuading folks to lean on a product over another. This depends on many factors some of which are the host getting crap for "free" sent to them. Kinda hard to argue with or against free shit. It is when you yourself out of your own pocket like all of us buy the item. Then maybe I believe it. Most (maybe not all) of you guys are nothing more than sales agents pitching these companies' products. What you don't realize is the effect that has on people. You can drive people nuts with conflicting opinions based on subjective views. That is the reason why I disect every word I hear and go and really dig into the product. But as a creator you should have a thick enough skin to take harsh words aimed at keeping you straight with the viewers and their needs. After all, isn't it all about us the viewers? For the most part man I really enjoy your content and has served me in many instances to prove another view incorrect. You do your thing and always remain true with your feet on the ground. People appreciate that bro. Best of luck!

    Such a shame - had I known the dji system had a 2 year expiration date when I bought into it I definitely would’ve held out. I’ll be stocking up on a handful of vistas and when/if I burn through them I’ll just jump ship. I love the system and the fact I can fit my glasses in them but it makes no sense to stay loyal to a brand that will milk you dry every few years rather than keep existing customers in a suitable and working ecosystem.

    Neither DJI or FS/WSof them support HDMI out. So both of them are fail in my book. A digital Video system with no HDMI and DVI out - why? If you cant' stand wearing goggles like me then yeah, it's not only important, it's critical. Just give me a digital video receiver box with HDMI and DVI out and no goggle pvke attached. A 21" computer monitor at Goodwill costs $15 and blows a goggle view clear out of the water. Don't settle for these rvbb1sh tiny screens. Demand more from your digital video system. This is after all the view you're flying to.
    I mean, this was just such a basic essential requirement. Imagine buying a VCR but there was no way to connect it up to your TV; instead you had to put your face up to VCR and look through a tiny porthole at a tiny screen to watch a movie....

    As always, extremely detailed. Especially liked the encoder talk. From a quick look, I had originally thought that the basically double compression of of h265 would perfectly match the double pixels of 1080p. But then there's the processing and latency,... Keeping my eye on these goggles. Pretty skeptical about the new DJI stuff. Maybe by the holidays.

    This is why I haven't flown fpv since 2016, cause my last goggles just up and died in me and I gave up after numerous attempts of trying to fix them. I want to know the next time I spend $600< on a system that it will last a very long time and good customer support. Even now it seems DJI is trying to control everything, I hope WalkSnail takes the stage as a competitive platform for fpv

    FatShark’s repair service is as good as ever - the only problem is that for EU their repair centre is in the UK, so there are quite some logistic issues (due to brexit). In the end they sent me the broken parts for free and I installed them myself to avoid unnecessary customs or anything like that, but they are indeed super friendly!

    I think you're too underappreciated by the community, Andy. I've always thought you're one of the best and most honest of the reviewers out there! Keep it up! Would you recommend going with Fatshark or Walksnail, by the way?

    • @AndyRCchannel
      @AndyRCchannel  2 года назад +1

      Thank you. personally I'd go with walksnail. But that's because I'm based in the uk and the fatshark repair centre has been shut down so it's a quicker turn around for me to send direct to walksnail if there is an issue. If you are closer to a fatshark repair centre it might make more sense to go fatshark. But currently if the problem is with walksnail and not the goggle part you send the goggles to fatshark and then they send them to walksnail which would mean a lot longer waiting times. That should change so farshark can repair the walksnail part eventuallt but I don't know when. U get antennas with the walksnail which I like and despite people saying they are no good... They are working nice for me. So the answer is.. it depends on where you live

I'd definitely buy directly off of them, and I guess I'd send it to them for repairs. They would then probably send it to the nearest FS repair centre. But, are you saying that there's no other difference to them than the repair options? What about firmware updates, will they too be exactly the same? Thanks again for your work, Andy.
