    I noticed an obvious thing the other day that may not be obvious to everyone.
    I realized that all the sims feel much more realistic when I set a max frame rate I can maintain constant. The sim running around 90 to 130 fps feels fine. It when I set it to 60fps and sync it so every frame is 60 it feels right. So the lower constant frame rate is like real life.
    Same here you are getting a varying frame rate vs a steady frame rate like HDzero.
    So on the sim having lower graphics settings and a low frame rate feels way better that the graphics maxed and varying frame rate.
    Depends on what you are wanting to do sometimes I want to see the fancy graphics but I still go back to lower it just feels better.
    If you have a God like computer then you can have both. 😊

    First I'd like to say that I do appreciate your videos and I understand that digital is the new hotness. However, some of us don't have the ability to go digital and are struggling to find decent analog systems that fit our needs for our micro quads. A good example is that I just recently picked up a mobula 7 HD and I flew it twice and the caddex camera is now dead and I do mean dead I went into this knowing that I would probably have to replace the camera but I did not realize how difficult that actually was going to be to find a good cheap solution. My preferred case is 1080p to 4K with an onboard DVR however it doesn't look like that's going to be an option for size. What I'm currently looking at purchasing is a runcam nano 2 with the happymodel diamond VTX DVR. That is if I can find them in stock anywhere. You may have already done a video like this in the past but if you could do an updated video where you talk about analog or possibly even digital together where you discuss the best bang for the buck in both Solutions. And hopefully places where they're in stock

    Hi Josh, Great video on the difference between the video links on Micros Quads. I just love micros. they've fun to fly, inexpensive to purchase, well they used to be, there's no restitution, but most of all, you can fly almost anywhere, inside or outside, and no one cares. Roto/Rita did a video flying a babito in an airport terminal. Weight has always been an issue, but now that you can get an F.C. with built-in HDZERO, Walksnail, the weight is better. But the DJI version is to much weight with an air unit. for a micro. Which one is best for me. Well that's easy, The Analog is, Thanks again for the video and information about the different video systems for a micro.

      See, you are believing the most OVER HYPED spec in all of FPV! Latency! You've got the Best Tech. HDZero isn't close! Go fly a DJI drone behind trees, bushes, and buildings. Explore and fly far away...
      Now, go fly an HDZero quad - LEARN! It can't punch itself out of a paper bag! No penetration! It's awful! Go for ANALOG2 if you want, but you already bought the best, and at the very best price too! It's not even close! Believe the hype if you want...
      Remember....say "one one thousand" very fast. That's a second. Now imagine breaking that one second into 1000 parts. That's a SHIT LOAD of parts all in one second of time! Then, try to tell me you can feel the difference between something with 6 parts (ms) more, that happens in ONE SINGLE SECOND! Do the math. Do the science. Use common sense & logic...That's what Chris Rosser tested to be the difference between DJI and HDZero...go watch his test a few days ago. Watch the video closely - Look at all of the image distortion in the HDZero image - especially when he crops in. HDZero is great for racing or flying in an open field. It can't fly behind objects because it has almost no penetration!
      Even Pro Pilot Vanover said, when he flew both back to back on a race course, blazing through the course - He could barely feel the difference and could compensate for it. His track times were almost identical. Hundredths of a second apart! If you look for it, you can find and watch that older video too.

  • @MrVlodato

    Its definetly subjective to what you want from it. I fly micros to explore new spots and cruise around when too many pedestrians are at a flying spot and i dont want to bring attention flying acro or cruise with a 5". So for me i think the HD quad with the most reliable range makes sense which in this case would be the vista version. Regardless if i can hit that range with a small pack i will still get a more consistant bitrate and penetration.

    that was a useful comparison. It's all about what compromise you want to do, and I agree that the DJI better range is not worth it on a tiny whoop due to range being limited by the battery capacity. Great video! Analog needs cheaper hardware (goggles, VRX, etc) to fly, so there's also that.

    Cool experiment - this is exactly what I have said before about flight-feel being better with hdzero. Aside from weight changing the feel, I think video delay with hdzero vrx is too high. hdzero goggles that have 3ms delay will make this as locked in as analog. Also curious if 540p60 gives better range for you - which isna big sticking point for you (i fly closer, so it doesnt bother me much). Obviously I think hdzero is the best one because the image is better than analog, but feels just as snappy

    Hey Joshua, I noticed that the VTX antennas on the quads are all circularly polarized - analogue & DJI LHCP, HDZero & Walksnail RHCP. Flywoo doesn’t give you a choice of VTX antenna, and my HDZero setup is all LHCP (unlike yours which I can see is RHCP). Do you think it’s worth buying the LHCP for the quad side to match the polarization? Also, it looked like the stubbies on your goggles for the Walksnail test were black TrueRC LHCP antennas - could that be why the video wasn’t as good?

    I am getting the Walksnail VRX and plan to combine that with the HDZero goggles because I still want to fly my analog quads and don't want to be locked into a system (no HDMI/analog in for the walksnail goggles).

I have a lathe and milling machine so I may investigate some CNC mods for heat dissappation. 6g difference from heaviest HD to lightest...I'm sure there is a difference but I'd also say the battery, wire length and connectors you choose play as much a role.

      There are very few CCD sensor cameras made any more. I think Sony stopped making CCD sensors a while back. Basically all cameras now are CMOS so that's sort of what we have to live with. The non-WDR CMOS cameras have exceptionally low latency so that's not an issue.

    Thank you for taking the effort of this comparison.
    The weight difference between walksnail, hd zero and dji are the same. So the lower weight of hd zero should still matter and the difference between walksnail and dji should be small but more relevant between hd zero to dji. To me the HD Zero is the clear winner. The advantage of a low latency link really shows. If Hd Zero could close the gap on output power (like 400-500 mA) it would be perfect for this formfactor.

      Yeah, but now try flying out further than in JB's yard! Oooops! HDZero can't fly any further, as we already saw the RAINBOW FULL SCREEN of death in his yard! lol With their TERRIBLE penetration, not being able to punch themselves out of a paper bag, if JB tried to fly any farther, even on his own property, that HDZero micro would really crap out!
      It's all in the technology. HDZero is fine if you are a very competitive racer that can feel the 3 - 6 ms of latency over DJI. But it simply doesn't have as advanced tech! Most of us can't feel that one bit! It's the #1 over hyped spec in all of FPV!! That's what Chris Rosser found to be the amount in his latest tests. I don't believe most of us can feel 6 parts out of 1000 parts that make up a single second (6ms)! Think about that and repeat that sentence very slowly.
      With 1200mw, and crystal clear video, I'd just buy the DJI, make some significant weight savings changes, give it a PID tune done just for the DJI version, and it'd be soooooo much more fun to fly when it weighs the same or less than the HDZero version! I know for a fact I could do it. I have a 75mm carbon fiber framed RIPPER that has a Naked Nebula Pro Nano camera in it and only weighs 38g. Very similar in weight to this analog Flywoo micro, but with 120fps, 810P HD image quality, 1200mw, and PENETRATION that is CraZy! Something HDZero, and their mediocre tech, can only dream of having! 🤔😱🤘

    I don't doubt that HDZero will soon up the power a bit. It had by far the least power of the the bunch with 200mw. Analog was 450 ,walksnail at 350 if I recall and then the DJI was off the charts. In my opinion with a good signal the HDzero picture was right up there with the other HD systems even with their lowest performing [although lightest] camera. Walksnail on 1s whoops on the market really show the weight penalty of the system compared to HDzero. DJI can't go there at all. All in all a great time to be into FPV!!

      @Sco0t Rot0R in real flight at non workbench ranges the latency difference jumps to closer to 16ms on average, and it's not consistent
      And you can do a latency test, when it's something you are actively controlling in real time (eg, throwing a mouse cursor around a screen) people tend to notice latency down to the order of 5ms.
      Even if we just assume that an FPV pilot has slightly above average visual reflexes, 200ms, when you start talking about numbers like 10ms you're getting small but significant numbers in terms of disadvantage. You're adding 5% to your reaction time. For me, with an 170ms reaction time, using DJI would be like a 9% disadvantage.
