I’m buying one when my wife’s asleep on her credit card, wish me luck!!!
Cheers

did it you do it? did it work? .. based on your success story i might try the same tonight :P
@@saeedag4468 Let me know how it goes for you guys. I'm going to pull the trigger on the goggles tonight and the air unit on Monday. It'll go right under the radar that way.
@@my335i4 mine was a sucess ... but we lost @Pacific Northwest360BEAR
in action. may he rest in peace.. do it with caution, WIFE= World Fnternational Federation Entrapment
@@saeedag4468 Lol...RIP
Easier to ask for forgiveness than permission but happy wife happy life. Up to you.
Even after seeing the good and the bad I’m still happy I ordered one because I guess I fall into the target audience. I don’t fly with anyone else, and it’s just cruising freestyle.
Thanks for the real talk!
dude.... you WILL be happy.
I guess ARE happy now. Lol.
This guy is a rare example of a Reverse Shill.
He knows what hes doing.
The whole intro. About camera cant do blah. But he's assuming its supposed to fully replace your GoPro??? AND be able to be transmitted to broadcasting TV stations???
What.
No one would assume that. And he KNOWS that. And basically just saying stuff in order to fill space and maintain a Negative edge.
Get out of town
Hi, just a few questions,
1) Was power limit on?
2) Was FC connected so air unit knows the quad is arm and is not limiting power to 25mW?
3) Was low latency mode on?
4) Was focus mode on?
5) Are you going to test it with other antennas?
6) Was the latency similar to analog when flying at a close range?
7) Could you make same test without recording onboard? (Some says that this could interfere with bitrate)
Did I say only a few questions? ;)
Very nice video, thanks and keep it going!
I know i can always trust stingy to keep it real!! it may be a good system for some but for me i dont need it.
It definitely is the best digital FPV system on the market that I have tried. That doesn't mean it's something I'll be using full time.
You can't afford it anyway!!
Thanks for being real
@@TheNickelCHROMIUM dropping truth bombs
thanks good he keep this real cause aint happining that with u and your micro dosis video !!!
Yes, but the latency issues appear in a distance you could never reach with analog!!! That is an important "detail" that you are missing!
What do you mean places itll never reach? Hes doing the same line with both systems with one having latency and the other having static, OMO flying though static is possible where as flying though latency depends on your line and if your going to crash. This the ONLY issue digital systems have and I feel it's just a matter of time before its perfected. I'll wait for now
I wrote DJI about the HDMI out. There is a "box", but it doesn't appear to be for little people. I encouraged them to make it available even if it was expensive. They at least responded. Quite impressed with their response times and relevant answers. Here's the first response:
Thanks for contacting DJI.
We are grateful to assist you with your concern.
So sorry that we did not receive the notification about the HDMI function.

Thanks for choosing DJI. Have a nice day!
it all comes down to, I can fly through static, but I can't fly through latency, nailed the statement.
That sums it up pretty well. I am a bit nervous after watching others videos. Some people seem to be having no issues but I've spoken with others who have it who are seeing similar results to myself.
That statement really hit it home for me as well -- there's no point living the past in HD when the quad is half-way to a future accident.
this is the best review I have seen of this system. he's right. totally nailed it
I didnt think this was very convincing at all, in fact i think its a strange comment since he's flying through latency, just like he flew through static, in the example he was giving of latency that cant be flown through .
In the end the worst image is better than the best analog image. Off course there's a limit to the range, but the way it held up at a distance through four rows of lush trees and a dirt mounds is extremely good. It's outstanding.
It's fun watching your old vids and see how much your perspective has changed... growth is good!!!
Looking forward to you doing a comparison with Fat Shark Byte Frost. If byte frost is at least on par, being able to use existing gear is a huge deciding factor that would likely render DJI a lemon amongst the FPV community
I hope they send me one to test out.
sadly it's 200mw and will not be on par :-(
It won't be anywhere the engineering level of DJI. Id expect half the range, nowhere near as refined and gauranteed it won't progress/update as quickly as djis version. They will be fighting a battle they can't possibly hope to win against a monstrous company with almost infinite resources to throw at the system if they decide to. Just look at fatsharks history. After more than a year of people whinging about the crappy DVR software they provide on their goggles it wasn't until immersionrc organised new firmware to fix the flaws that anything was done. I hope it's good, but I have my doubts. DJI V2 will kill it so I'm going to be patient and wait for that.
New shirt idea? "YOUR HD SUCKS"
Posted this vid in my miamifpv whatsapp group and had a friend cancel his order right after watching. 😂😂😂
I don't think it is something to keep people away but it is something people should be aware of. This is at the very edge of the envelope of what the system is capable of.
@@stingersswarm yes just that your video finally stated something all others untill now have not, and its very important. Thanks for the reply and keep ripping brother🙌
Thanks for the great analysis Kevin. I bought a pair and tested them today on an old quad. At first they didn't have reasonable range. Then I realized that my old VTX transmitting at 800mW could be interfering. I turned it down to 25mW and my range increased. Wow, the crystal clear image is so cool. Now I'm rebuilding the quad without the analog camera and VTX to see what my max range can be. So far, it is pretty nice to see digital clarity. Scraggle and branches can't hide anymore. :) The latency when flying behind metal buildings does suck. I need to work on the antenna placement.
No hype just info, love it.
I absolutely love that 'crowd' is buying, testing, and communicating results, and opinions. THANK YOU VERY MUCH man!
Totally appreciate you (and JB and NURK and SKITZO and all others that 'feed us with first hand experience' comms!!!)
I have so many analog equipment , antennas, accessories, so I got myself thinking...thinking....thinking and then bought the DJI fpv system ! 😀😉
Thanks for the update Kevin.
I totally stole a couple of your phrases when I was recording in the studio today.
Great to hear a non hyped take for a change. Thanks for your honesty!
Just trying to keep it real. It's kinda on me for not getting it in the air sooner than the day before launch lolol.
@@stingersswarm it's all good. I just enjoy the honest review. Keep making great content like this! And have you got a link to those LUTs? Would like to check those out.
sellfy.com/christianmategrab I’ll add them to the description too.
Finally, someone who actually has the unit and is telling it how it is!! bored shitless of the "WOW, it's SOOOO AMAZING!! just follow the affiliate link!
Great honest assessment of the situation. I fly a 3 inch 5s with crossfire and rapid fire. I don't ever record HD and fly just for the experience it would be nice to fly in HD but the dji's short comings when it comes to penetration seals the deal for me. I fly behind many trees and buildings and the analog rapid fire handles this best.
I'm new to FPV, but I've been building PCs for 20 years. If there is anything that I've learned about tech, it's to not get overly excited about gen 1 of ANYTHING. It's always great to see something new come out, but it's immature and will always need to have some bugs worked out. Sometimes it will happen through firmware updates and the product will improve. Usually it's not until the 2nd versions come out though. I love what DJI has done here. They literally kicked the door open on something that some people were even saying wasn't going to be possible for FPV use. They will work on theirs and make it better. They have already forced Fatshark's hand and they are announcing their own HD FPV system. Others will start to follow. It will take time, but it has already even sparked a little competition on these new HD products. DJI has even made this system competitively priced with the high end analog systems that people are already flying. The thing that really surprised me was when it wasn't actually completely proprietary. It already has limited functionality with Betaflight OSD and they say that will get better. It can also be used with your existing receiver and transmitter if you want to go that route as well. This is all good stuff for the future of improving the FPV experience and getting more people into this hobby/sport!
I totally agree. I'm excited for where this platform is headed. My initial titled ended with yet. I think I may add it back because I fully believe they will continue to improve this platform.
this isn't gen 1 though, this is gen 4 lol. Lightbridge 1 & 2, Occusync Air, and now FPV Air.
"It's a step in the right direction..", think Skitzo nailed it right there.
I think something like a built in analog diversity for when you begin to reach the hd limit it blends into the analog instead of freezing.
That should almost be a safety feature, when you think about it.
would require an entire addition of an anaolog VTX to the system. I highly doubt this will happen since the whole point of it, is the digital system.
Awesome, real and too the point....not to knock anyone else, but you did not hype it up and presented it honestly, where some of the others just showed the clear image and everyone was like ooh! Great, detailed analysis!
I’m still getting the DJI, not pushing range limits. Could also try have a backup analogue video ready when digital breaks.
And that is on full power version, with the CE 25mw version, it can only be worse. I don’t know if this setting is changeable and even if it is, a future firmware update might lock you on the mode that’s legal where you fly.
So yeah, not going for that system.
Thanks for that video 🤟
This is on 700mw. I should do a test on 25mw just to show the performance.
@@stingersswarm I'm really interested in the 25mW results.
I think the system already does
Do you actually fly 25mw over there?
@@noamamir0942 if dji locks 25mw because of region bs... than you dont have a choice and you be flying with zero range
I was a TV engineer for over 30 years and worked through the analogue to digital switch over , the digital signal is great when it works but it's either there or it's not and this is the problem , the latency and freezing pictures are definitely NOT something I want for fpv.
The answer is not simple, maybe use lower frequencies in video connection, maybe even adjust the frequency and or data levels depending on the signal quality so automatically lower frequencies which penetrate better when signals get weak...
We have a long way to go still before good reliable hd fpv is here.
If you close your eyes and just listen you can tell there is a little Nicolas Cage living in stingy lol. But I digress. Thank you so much for the awesome video ^_^
Nice work. You have just showed that DJI just invented time travel goggles. :). It fast forwards into the future.
Hahaha!!! Only if you hit 88mph.
And batteries that will output 1.21 gigawatts of power!
it fast forwards to the recent past not future
What about now, on 1200mW? or even 1000? How many mW were you running on your analog system? Did you try patches? How much have you spent on your antennas for analog?
Yup.. I totally agree one may think "Well I have the money" but if I crash every single quad I have...well I just honestly can't afford it... I'm really happy with what I have & If I happen to be on a place without any floor noise... I Have near HD video...
Mad props Kevin for the legit info and the limitations of this system
Thanks bro!
@stingersSwarm The best way to demostrate the latency in your googles is showing the same frame for the missings frames in your time line I mean Use the tool Freeze Frame to fill the missing parts and show us. GL
there are always pros and cons to any system and generally where one feature is enhanced another diminishes.... I still think this system has a place. for the most part I wouldn't go beyond 800m away from myself. It may not be for the top notch pilots but for people like me who only fly for enjoyment I still think its a great product.
very insightful. I hope other companies notice the level of hype digital is getting and start innovating beyond what DJI has done here. This is a great first step, but clearly it's not ready yet.
I love this honest review - thanks Stingy. That said - what's the point of showing someone an HD system if you have a greasy lens? Want a better, clearer picture? Clean your lens! Boom - just saved you $1000.
Its big, its not refined. I'm ok with them developing it. But Ill wait 5 years before I buy it. What they released was more of a prototype. But you can't blame them. There are people that just NEED to have the latest and greatest. Thank you StingerSwarm for proving it!
Great video but.. do my props really suck?
i'd be interested in seeing how the system responds with FPV only .. and not also carrying RC link on the same 5.8ghz bandwidth.. so for example using your crossfire system to RC /RF link and just using the DJI system for FPV only.. would be very curious to see if the bandwidth available for FPV feed is alot more stable.. in these conditions..
I had a feeling right from the start that variable latency would be an issue, I could deal with higher latency if it’s consistent but if it’s changing all the time it would really throw me off. I would love a good HD FPV system but I’m happy to see someone actually showing how this one differs from the current analogue set ups 👍👊
Yeah it really is the variable latency that is the issue.
I can't wait until more people get there hands on the system. It's kinda hard to explain.
i just recently picked up a Connex Prosight and did a comparison against the DJY FPV System but i only had Focus mode on footage from KabaobFPV (he made it publicly available) but it seems like with focus mode off, both connex and DJI do the same thing - Freeze frame. i had to come back and watch this because i remembered the footage you captured. if you ever need Prosight footage for comparison, you know who to ask!! :)
As I told Tommy, it's not ready for fpv but a step forward ( may be V2 ) Thanks for being truthful not all reviewers of theses goggles are. Not for me DJI
I think the variable latency is the huge part. Also how does this function with failsafes? How long will the system wait for the next frame before it desides to shut down? Our quads travel pretty fast, an extra 1 even ONE second of having no control is the difference between a broken quad, injury, damage etc. Also what if it freezes at a moment im punching? Does it just full throttle for 3 seconds since that's it's last "input" frame? Too many unanswered questions for me. Also just not enough general research in the penetration/reliability of the system. I can imagine flying this in a city with lots of RF would basically be impossible.
Hey Kevin, Did you guys try to see how well the DJI performs when flying simultaneously with other pilots who are runnning the traditional analog gear? Does the analog RF interfere with DJI digital RF or vice versa? I wonder if the video locking up is caused by the onboard DVR trying to buffer or having troubles writing to SD card fast enough. Does it lock up like that if you are just recording goggle DVR?
Good to hear. Waiting on Fatshark byte frost so I can use my own goggles. Besides DJI wants all our info just turn the damn things on. F@#!& them.
so stupid ..
Any update on a DJI providing a method to see the image on an external client monitor? I know there whole proprietary thing and perhaps waiting for enough demand and/or a firmware update with the usb-c port capable of outputting A/V....I dunno. Have you any recent thoughts? Thanks
Stingy, I think you should grab a buddy who has a second pair of these DJI goggles, tune into the same channel and just record the goggles' screen with a GoPro, you know, Bardwell style. :) That way we can really see how those dropped/frozen frames look in the goggles.
Oh shit. Steele has one 🤔
Finally an honest review, thank you.
Waiting on fatshark . If they underdeliver its time to move forward if not well then we stick to what we have . But i sense a bit of tension when testing this product and that gives me a feeling that if DJI take the feedback into consideration they will crush the competition in no time.
What ranges are we talking about here? Wat power is the analog system running on?
It’s just another step forward in this amazing hobby, ever since I watched my GoPro recording of a staticky flight I wondered if there would ever be a day that we could fly with that hd view in the goggles? And apparently today is the day! Good for DJI to come up with a solution! As soon as I can afford it I’ll be upgrading to this awesome HD setup!
Does the freezing occur in areas beyond where a RapidFire could reach or are we just criticizing performance at ranges that are already well beyond legacy/analog video? Also, I can still fly through 300ms of latency enough to level out & recover to an area with better signal, or better yet, just stay within the range of what my RapidFire could reach and avoid latency altogether. Thoughts?
Great thank you for a non hype version. Honesty is better than a generated hypetrain just to sell products.
Variation in latency even at the finest amount is going to cause issues with racing and ironically the only places we don't have video quality issues is at club level events. Will be interesting to see this system used in an extremely high RF environment such as a big race and see if constant variation in latency occurs. If so it's going to make for some very random race results. Still early days yet, hopefully DJI can get on top of all the issues. Awesome work buddy.
I am excited about the system and look forward to seeing what they can do with the platform. I agree that even the minor variations in latency when flying my local spots is a big issue without taking it to the extremes I did here. Going behind the first line of trees can sometimes make it drop from 28ms to 60ms before you know it.
@@stingersswarm Well for what it's worth, it's extremely good data
maybe suggest to DJI to switch to analog mode when the signal gets low, if it is technically possible.
It's not since the system sends data packages combined for control link and video
Well, I don't care about box goggles or FatShark kind of goggles. But the latency is something really difficult...
I agree. I'm going to try to get a video that shows the changing latency in a more typical flight.
Was this while flying low latency mode? Also (and I know it is not a proper replacement for static) Focus mode will give you a nice indication for reaching RF challenging zones while flying.
Can't wait for your video editing process, really looking forward to that. THANKS!
First channel to tell the truth. Similar issues to other previous digital video systems. Subscribed.
Great video! Very informative. Purchase a system recently because of all the excitement but starting to have doubts. I would love to see a video on your camera setting and post production system. What kind of gear you are running behind the scenes to edit.
Wow!!!! The RR video made this seem like the best system for all situations and it could penetrate buildings like no big deal 🙄. Thanks for the truth 👍
Yeah strange right? And Stingy+ swarm flying around super closeley and get latency issues AF!
because they get much money for that video
That's not true. Watch it again. I flew on the opposite side of a building, video pixelated, latency increased, and it eventually failsafed. What I was so impressed with is the way it handled it compared to previous HD systems, not that it was perfect on the other side. The video shows that. My everyday gear - Unify and R-XSR don't get any signal back there at all. Like all new things, you don't really get a good consensus until it's in the wild being used by a bunch of people in a bunch of scenarios. This is why every product that comes out in FPV gets a V2, V3 and so on. I just really hope the product does well so they continue to make FPV gear. I don't plan on using their controller or on board recording, so I'd love to see them strip the RX and recording bits off the unit and get the size and price down.
@@VORT3XFPV Well I'm definitely interested to hear your thoughts on the fatshark version 👍
Rr gets paid to bullshit cant really trust them
You should try a couple patch antennas on it and see if penetration is improved
Was about to comment the same thing. I assume the analog system was running the best that you've been able to test. DJI knows their stuff, but a patch or two will probably help. Then drop below the trees and see who wins.
patch antennas don't offer better reception for digital signals unless all 4 antennas are combined together.
this is because for analog we want zero MIMO signal transversal and for digital we want ONLY MIMO signal transversal.
this is why wifi uses dipoles and not patch antennas for the most part.
you COULD probably add HUGE 5.8ghz dipoles on all 4 antenna ends and get better range though
@@TAGE_FPV I find the VAS patch antennas provide fairly decent omni coverage for closer in, and great directional coverage too. I sometimes fly with only patches. So could try 4 of those assuming most of your flying will be in front of you. I find that for my yard( 1 acre), I fly around behind me( while standing in the air conditioned house) just fine, but at around 75-100yds, I need to have a patch pointed in that general direction.
Unfortunately, the goggles are rp-sma, and all antennas are LHCP I think. So will be further down the road before I get around to buying another 4 patches since mine are all RHCP and SMA. Kinda stinks that you'll have the loss of another adapter(rp-sma to sma) for each one.
Thanks for the explanation
@@rcrdps8144 did you not understand my last comment? patch antennas dont work separately for digital signals
8:38 This is what would happen with my Dronium IIIap and 3X with the freeze frames using the phone and VR goggles. But the lag was always 0.2 to 0.5 seconds. Doable but no warning when you've set up a trick per say. And I'm still trying to shake off that muscle memory to this day. Getting better it is.
Got an ad for the DJI FPV on this video, theyre definitely trying to fight back
It has been confirmed by some test pilots that you can use a USB-C to HDMI adapter to output the feed from the goggles. It's just not mentioned anywhere in their documentation.
That's interesting. Who were the pilots that mentioned this and do you have a source (link) verifying that information?
I’ve heard this too. I’m going to give it a try as soon as I can find my adapter.
Thank-you... best DJI food for thought video yet... was gonna get it, but decided to wait a bit.... the future is gonna rock though
It is a really impressive system for sure. Keep in mind this is at the very edge of the envelope for this system. Flying in a smaller area it is very impressive.
Try running it with your crossfire instead of there remote i could be wrong but it seems like it would be alot of work on the air unit having to process and recieve 2 different signals one video and one rx plus could recording on the unit itself cause more latency maybe even worse at longer range
Very good info and feed back. I wonder if an artificial horizon could be displayed in the googles (super low latency) when video latency drops. All the data is there.
I think the most important point you are raising is that analog takes zero time to go from perfect transmission to almost-useless-static and vice versa. Digital needs to understand the data isn't coming through to switch to lower data bandwidth modes. How long this takes is a very important factor in a digital system. The Rotor Riot testing showed the system can do awesome when it has enough time to adapt to a worse SNR, but your testing shows the system just freezes if the cliff is immediate (coming from an engineer, my guess is the system is changing frequency instead of switching to a mode with lower SNR, as it's assuming the channel just got hit with some interference, while it should decrease bandwidth immediately).
Full disclosure: my system won't be any better and isn't for racing drones anyway. I believe DJI did an amazing job.
I'm two years late and wish to know what improvements/revisions may have been performed by DJI in order to address some of these drawbacks affecting the FPV community. Any comments are appreciated.
It’s all fixed. I fly dji almost exclusively now.
Did you really get 900ms at this point?
Not sure I've seen more than 60ms ever. DJI for about 4 months now.
That explains why in every flight I saw with that system the flight looks so uncomfortable, there is latency you might not feel it, but it will make you fly worse.
I don't have this but I have to think you will get better feed with some different antennas. Maybe a directional one (or two). Something to try anyway?
I’m totally glueing 4 big horns to the front of my ev800d’s. :)
Josh bardwell has two units on the way to him maybe he can get a gopro in the second so people can see what your talking about freezups and lost time in the dvr.
It might be better that the dvr records with a variable frame rate so that it can maintain sync better when played back and frames are dropped.
A test on 25mw and also flying alongside traditional Analogue set ups to see if any bleed over would be real useful. Good honest review cheers .
So I'm seriously thinking about dropping a grand on the DJI system but is it worth the money?
So the system is still 5.8 with pushing 800 mw. If they want to address some of these issues, they will need to do a 1000mw or higher or maybe tunes to 1.3 with giant antennas.
What I understood is that you got frozen frames on DJI system in the place where you could barely fly with analog.
Exactly this. The signal degradation is actually handled really nicely for a digital system. Of course at some point you're going to lose information, DJI aren't wizzards. What's important for me is that you are aware of the weakening signal and you don't get sudden blackouts as with the Connex ProSight.
Good on yu mate, I am in the "research" stage of buying my first FPV kit and appreciate you sharing your experienced knowledge with us all. I am still confused with what is the Best system to spend my money on. I have been a Mavic Pro drone hobbyist and keen content creator loving everything about droning and the droning community worldwide. Cheers from a newest sub/supporter #44,259.

Kevin . You rock Brother! Thanks for the video.
DJI Digital fpv system is the new hype :D
Thanks for bringing us another perspective to the goggles.
Thanks Kevin, from what I saw you had the best coverage of the whole system so far. Thanks for doing all the testing. ,)
This is the review we needed! Thanks stingy!
What im waiting for is the FATSHARK HD system!!!!
Stingy please upload just your laugh. i want that shit as a ringtone
HAHAHA!!!! Will that do? lolol
@@stingersswarm haha. always man. thanks for the awesome videos :)
@stingy, this seems to be a completely different experience to kabab's testing, who showed the system being more flyable in extreme scenarios than analog.
What do you think is causing these different results? Is there a difference in firmware? Because this is the first time I've seen a freeze frame issue
Kabab actually showed the same freeze frame issue at the far end of the range. Paul bitmatta is editing the video and adding the frozen frames so everyone can see them close in.
You’re so much better at this then me 😁
Its all about that audio. Bring back the AC hiss bro!!! lol
StingersSwarm Haha! I really stink.
nice and honest, thank you Stingy :P
Thanks man!!
Kevin, when making a video to show the freeze frames just freeze that frame in the side by side until it catches up. I think it may look more dramatic and as you see it in the headset.
I think it's a good system for freestyle, maybe not for peeps who race or go long range. If I get it, it will be for the HD fpv and nothing else, I would still use a Hero 7 to capture HD video. Nice video mate
Yeah I would keep running a GoPro for now. I really would like to see this system be capable of replacing the GoPro. I almost never smash FPV cameras but that GoPro takes a beating. Just saying.
Fly LOS at a higher altitude and you will be fine out to 2 miles. Low long range....I've seen mixed results
the reason the clips are out of sync is because the way the goggle dvr is encoded is to just drop the frames that the goggles don't receive and so the goggle dvr has less frames and therefore finishes sooner than the local recording. it doesn't have anything to do with the latency in real time
Very interesting and informative video. I watched the initial flight and this overview. If you haven't had a chance to watch Bruce on his xjet channel discuss dji hd(not review) you may find it interesting and fun. Happy flying 👍💖🤓
I totally did. He hit the nail on the head and I told him so in the comments and he pinned that ish. lolol
some analog abd digital would b great if it could switch between the two during weak digital signal moments.....I think a hybrid would be the good stuff like rapidfire analog built into the digital box, analog as a failsafe for weak digital feed or even a mixture of the two with some frame trickery mixed in
I hope you can do a retest now that we have had plenty of firmware updates.
Exactly what i was thinking... you can fly through static but a frozen screen is death.
Nice job, thanks for sharing some of the cons. I totally agree with the footage not up to par. The Caddx Tarsier has a better picture and recording for less than a $100. Not sure why they choose to record in 1080p. The DJI have plenty of 4K camera’s already. Hell all of the drone they sell do!!✌️😎
I'm sure we will be seeing improvements in no time.
If you're into getting the most out of your range etc it essentially comes down to would you rather see something or nothing at all. If you're not pushing it and want to spend the extra money then go for it. I personally would lose a little clarity for more smooth somewhat real time footage
What about if you upgrade the athennas? Do you think that will make any difference in latency?
