DJI V1 FPV goggles. Works the same today as it did when it came out years ago. And now depreciated, can be found used at a deep discount. Better long range picture than HDzero, and just as good for aerobatics nearby. I'll stick to the SIM though, picture quality is always 100% static free, range is endless, cost is next to nothing. Fly and crash all you want, credit card damage free....
Goggles X for me if I was starting fresh. Unfortunately I am in DJI V2s which aren't bad, but I wish I could fly smaller units without slapping on the analog acessories
DJI is the most popular… I think hdzero and walksnail users are just more vocal. DJI is the silent majority. DJI is at the cutting edge of image clarity and range and penetration. When they iterate its leaps. That’s why there’s incompatibility. Hdzero and walksnail don’t have to worry about that. DJI integra goggles at $350 are also the least expensive.
Im very happy with my Skyzone Cobra X box goggles. I dont have this incredible amount of money for any of digital system... except of a openIPC which have downsides too. Im staying in analog.
@@UAVfutures The versatility is the best for sure; HDZero, Analog, and Walksnail. I don't condone DJI. I love low latency. The different resolutions are the best, 1080p30 is great for cinewhoop. 720p60 is cool for some freestyle. But the 540p90... well that changed everything. Words cant describe how good it is! You have to get the goggles...
Is there people in Australia that offer doing the Betaflight stuff required. I wish I can just learn to fly fpv without all the techical computer stuff but not be restricted to getting a dji avata 2. Like a custom built set up RTF.
I understand disliking Dji but.. As far as overall use Dji is best just fact... unless you are racing. We wouldn't have had digital without the breaking the digital code. Pros not using HD zero for reason
@@hessdominguez170the hdzero goggles are amazing. I upgraded the shit out of them and now i can fly analog, walksnail and hdZ plus i can stream the stuff to phones and tablets. That is so good if u do some inspection stuff for a company or just want to show your friends what fpv is all about.
In my opinion, HDZero goggles offers the best support for most options. I chose HDZero so I'm able to run my analog tinywhoops with a good quality using a tbs fusion module, HDZero for close range freestyle and add a walksnail VRX in the future for a 7" long range build. DJI would probably be the "best" way to go for someone that doesn't intend running anything else than DJI though, but as far as I know, DJI doesn't offer VTX small enough to fit in tinywhoops.
Stew, it's time to buy some HDZero googles man, then make them your daily driver for a bit. I'm not that I'm trying to change your mind, your right in your comments, I just feel you're not quite talking them up quite as much as they deserve. HDZero is racing, sure some are still on analogue, sure it is more expensive, but what you get is 100% worth it (in picture quality), and it's just as rock solid (for fixed latency, and hardware reliability to analogue)!
I love my HDZero goggles. I got mine from the second batch of the V2 version. They've never let me down. My Sky zone O4X goggles are my choice for my analog rigs and with the Sharkbyte module, they make a great extra pair for guest passengers.
Dji goggles V2 work with air unit, vista and O3. They fit well and dont fog up. Also the analog adapter is a great mod for both worlds. Dont forget the WTF mod. There is no better goggles for me. Habe mine since 2021 with the DJI FPV drone. Got me into the hobby. Now I have like over 50 self built quads with analog, vistas and O3. No need to upgrade. Dont forget DJI has the best signal penetration.
Since starting fpv a good few years ago already, i've had 3 Fatsharks, and now my daily is the lovely SKYZONE O4Xv2, all analog, and though the images off digital look stunning, not sure if i would fork out another shitload of cash on Goggles, VTXs and Camera's just for playing around the park in HD quali. The evolution in this hobby is still at a scary pace, so a newb investing should certainly consider future upgradebility of a FPV kit, i think that is your best point in this excellent round-up!
i started with eachine goggles then went to fat shark then finally got dji v2 goggles and a caddx vista and as a very casual pilot i think im gonna be sticking with dji v2's the image quality change is truely immense it almost feels like starting the hobby again for a short while but take my advice with a grain of salt because i started in 2020 and its now been a year since ive flown so i don't know the best option in 2024 edit: i still use my analogue goggles for whoops for anybody curious because i just can't afford a dji system in a whoop i keep dji for my serious rigs
existing form factors are very poor. the best to me is the DJI goggles 2 or integra. the goggles 3 is the same as goggles 2 and integra. all goggles manufactures need to aim for the form factor of the "Bigscreen Beyond" VR goggles. need this form factor and pancake optics for both analog and digital. visual link is important but i feel the hardware form factor is still very much wanting.
I bought the DJI goggles three to use with the DJI Neo drone. Unfortunately, they just don't fit my face well, and just sitting indoors setting them up they started fogging up. I plan to use them for photography in Thailand, and I don't think those black goggles would be very happy in the humid hot weather. I am very interested in flying FPV as well as doing photography and video. I need to find goggles that have a fan inside that moves air!
I've been flying walksnail for the last 18 months, or so... I recently got the dji goggles 3 and a couple of O3 units... Let me tell you that if the walksnail image quality is a "9", the O3 is a 13. The range and penetration are also significantly improved. This should be better articulated. I wasted all that loot on like 8 walksnail vtxs.
@@Anadrolus HDZero is a different animal. It's got the lowest latency for racing, but has the poorest image quality and range. Unless you're a serious racer, DJI or Walksnail will provide a vastly superior experience - DJI being the best.

I wish I saw this a while back, got back in the game and got WalkSnail. I wish I got HDO because tiny whoops are HEAVY with a WalkSnail and I can I could go analog in a whoop.
@@UAVfutures Yeah I did. Its still heavy compared to the analog. It almost doubles the dry weight of the drone. I wish I would run analog on the avatar goggles, just because I don't want to find my old analog goggles. I think they are in storage.
@@UAVfutures I love your videos and have been a long term subscriber and have nothing but respect for you bud, but I've got to say that if you are doing a review of what is out there, then you should have the equipment that you are actually comparing. Running a vrx on a pair of skyzones is nothing like having the HDZero goggles and having the experience when you have the actual goggles. They can also run the caddx vrx that you prefer personally, and have lots more going for them other than the latency. I'm not having a dig by any means, just a little feedback bud. Happy flying
You showed the dji goggles 3 listing, which is ONLY for Avata 2 (update: now they also work with o3, but not vistas)!! The DJI goggles Integra (work with both o3, vista, and Avata 2 and likely the o4) are only $350 USD and what you should be showing. 😜
Yeah for $580 you can have goggles integra and an O3 air unit for less than the cost of Hdzero goggles for $600 and another $100 for antennas since they don’t come with any.
PLEASE comment and let me know the pros and cons of each. Would be great to hear from you. owning all 3 is something so few piltos actually can do. share this knowledge please
@@UAVfutures basically for me it comes down to the break up when your video signal is weak. With Anolog and HDzero, if im getting a bad picture i can get it back by flying into a known area, or upwards instantly. But with DJI Vista/03/walksnail its buffering (like a youtube video) and stutters and if you get real bad signal it can black out, and not reconnect. HDZ goggles have more options (HDZ, Anolog, Walksnail VRX) and are a fantastic easy to use goggle. comfortable Walksnail Goggs are locked into WS, and are clunky to navigate, its not that much cheaper either. uncomfortable goggle. Dived mountains in Jordan and it was terrible video! Still have the VRX and 1 WS drone, but the VTX will be removed soon. i dont fly WS at all anymore. I have Goggles V2/DJI 03 is good, great picture, amazing picture actually and records 4k. i do fly the dji03 for real estate, and for my drones that are not going to crash. I'd use them in cruisers or mountain surfing drones or 3.5inch for IG vids. Too expensive to freestlye and replace all the time. Not very durable VTX. Hated the DJI Vista/Link, the 03 is much better. Since getting HDZ Goggle a year ago, i have flown 3 times as much already than the previous 2 years. All my HDZ is 90FPS cameras and i feel so connected to the quad with it, its like a new level of flying activates immediately. I also fly fast, so i dont need a amazing picture (like the DJI03) i need less latency.. and thats HDZero all the way baby! They also have a really solid VTX (freestyleV2) , i crash hard and they are all alive. Long range! yep no problem for HDZ, setup your antennas correctly and go miles. Anolog is still great - especially for new people on a budget.. i would have more confidence diving a 4km mountain with anolog than WS My preferance -HDZero - DJI03 - Anolog - Walksnail Thanks STU Regards STU
All I care about is the quality of the googles viewscreens, not the recorded DVR footage view. I will be flying RC Planes and gliders. Does the view screen image look as good as the recorded footage shown in many videos. I want a go pro look while flying. So which one is for me?
Well DJI is going the Apple iPhone philosophy or Apple in general. It can tick a lot of people off but it doesn’t seem to bother them, the revenue fits
Going? Been that way for years. Multi billion dollar companies typically are proprietary. Still make superior product that just work. Kinda like apple 🤢 puked a little just saying that
What about the Autel Evo 2 Pro V3 Goggles? Im really curious about these digital goggles their decently priced on ebay for $129. Has anyone used the Autel Goggles or maybe someone can recommend a video with a good review. I would love to see you guys do a review on those goggles, cheers brother I appreciate you doing this video, the information was great and much needed to help me make my first goggle purchase.
@@UAVfutures i just started. Still on the liftoff sim. I have the rm boxer, ev800d, and i have 2 analog quads arriving soon (mobula8 and meteor65). I want to just fly around and do tricks. And probably take some cinematic shots during some trips on a 249g below quad. Im thinking i should buy the hdzero goggles for all hd quads and analogs.... Then get the dji goggle 2 for all things dji. Just seeing some comments that v2 is better all around
@@simpl3lang I also just got into FPV, bought EV800Ds and built two analog quads: a 5 inch using GEPRC MK4 frame and a 4 inch sub 249g one based on Flywoo Explorer. Those 2 quads combines cost less than 1 DJI Air Unit. And DJI goggles cost 10x more than ev800s. In the 4 inch quad I have Caddx ratel 2 camera, AKK VTX and a Hawkeye 4K Thumb camera. Those combined still weigh less than O3 air unit. Plus the analog camera has a great low-light capability...
I started flying analog for the first few years but bought myself a cheap set of dji V1 goggles when the V2 was announced. I built quads with the caddx vista units and pretty much stopped flying analog except for small stuff like whoops. If I was getting started today I would take a serious look at the caddx walksnail system, I’m not a fan of dji and caddx have always been more in touch with the FPV community.
@@UAVfutures I don’t think so but I bought my V1 goggles and a stack of vistas cheap over 3 years ago and I still have 3 working vista units in quads and a spare in it’s box. Eventually I’ll have to upgrade to something newer but I’m always a late adopter of new tech.
Good helpful info! Hopefully this is a good place to ask this question. While I DO own the Avata 2 with G3, I also have a SwellPro Splashdrone 4. I have been looking for a goggle option to get away from the 9" tablet connected to the controller. Using it to fly shark bait 1000yds off the beach is really taxing to actually see the screen in bight Florida sunlight. SwellPro said... "We don't have goggles for SD4" and that was the end of that conversation. Some insight would be GREAT. Thanks and keep up the good work.
You could mount the screen inside a suitable box with either holes to look through or even ski goggles with lenses removed mounted to the box, this will solve your sunlight problem and this was my first fpv setup back in the very early days of fpv using a small lcd tv before goggles became a thing, massive field of view too which spoiled me as most early fpv goggles had a tiny FOV like the old fatsharks 32 degrees which I did not want 🙂👍
Hi Stew , I have a set of "Flysight View Optics" Box Goggles , that are very Similar to the "Head play" Goggles and I can honestly say , these Goggles are not bad in terms of the Large Screen size but if these things had a good quality Tablet Screen in them , never mind the big bulky goggle size , they would be very nice for flying my Camera drones but unfortunately these things has got a piece of Crappy Liquid Crystal Display Screen in them and that's the Problem but I can see where these would be great and I actually like them but all to that Cheap ass screen !!!!🤔
I laughed when I saw that you converted that Lightning 1 to HD. I just bought a Lightning 1 and I'm waiting for it to arrive. I can't wait. And I'm thinking that when I convert to HD if I like it as much as you apparently like yours, maybe I'll try to convert mine as well. Speaking of which how difficult was that project?
its my all time fav drone. but I have broken 1 camera so far in it. it was actually a little tricky. you have to desolder the on board vtx, there is a vid on my channel about it.
@@UAVfutures Thanks for the response! I purchased the 14kv instead of the 10kv. I'm wondering if that was a mistake as the 10kv will get more battery time. I'm looking through your channel and I don't see a video converting from analog to digital. Can you help me find it?
@@UAVfutures I bought a HGLRC Draknight for $100 and I love it! I think it's identical to YMZFPV Lighting except HGLRC added a Buzzer/ LED in the rear. It's so fast an agile for such a tiny thing! I get up to 6 minutes of flight time using Tattu R-Line 550mAh.
Perpetuating the myth that HDZero is only for racers and showing it in the absolute worst light with that terrible reception shot, but not going over how WS and DJI smear, block, and skip frames when the signal gets low.
DJI for me. I'm willing to spend a bit more for a solid product. The Walksnail just isn't there yet (maybe in future), and I'm not spending DJI/Walksnail money for HDZero image quality. Maybe if I cared about racing but even then I'd be pretty sore about spending that much for HDZero's crap image quality.
@@UAVfutures My most flown quads are my 4" micro long range. I love the DJI O3 (despite its price) because I can get quality footage and stay under 250g which lets me sidestep almost all the restrictions on flying drones in Canada. Almost all the "rules" become recommendations if you're under 250g. I've been flying FPV since 2013 and it's crazy to me that I can get an aerial platform that transmits in HD, shoots onboard 4K 60 or 4K 120 AND weighs less than a can of cola.
@UAVfutures why: immersion. Have I yet? Can I, is there a setup that will let me? The biggest was 70 something. Was good but only analogue and I was wanting more.
If you want best on board recording obviously you want O3/DJI. The moonlight is worse quality and also heavier, and TBH I believe they've stopped making them for now, so their QA isn't as good. The V2's work with OG, vistas, and O3. Only thing not (for now) is the O4/Avata 2. Integra might be the best to get as hopefully supports OG all the way to O4 (if/when it comes). I use CobraX box for Analogue, and HDZero on top of my trusty V2s! So for hardware quality it's also DJI, the Walksnail and HDZero are miles behind on that, albeit walksnail quality to goggles is as good as 2 generation ago DJI (which is good!). Love we have so many choices!
@@UAVfutures into wings now. Tiny whoops use analogue (though picked up one new eco HDZero mob6 recently it's ok). Vista on wings is nice. Walksnail is good and options for 3 inch are nice (a vista is too large), but the moonlight is heavier and bigger than an O3!
I have the 1st generation walksnail goggles. The grass is a bit mushy and I didn't think the picture was as good as my V2's. Is the X really that much better than the original?
@@doccock100 The only Walksnail goggles I’ve used are the X, and they have a great picture. Idk if it’s any better than previous Walksnail goggles. The X has a lot better picture than my DJI Goggles V2, but the DJI stomps the WS for penetration.
I feel inbetween a rock and a hard place. dji is a no go because I don't want to buy the goggles 2 for the o3 air and when the o4 air comes out they don't work with my goggles. It's just too big of an investment to have forwards compatibility not considered by the company. I love the idea of caddex, however I've heard a lot of bad things about that headset, quality control, firmware issues and just a nightmare in a lot of cases. Even their newest vtx, the avatar gt, sounds perfect on paper and should beat the o3 in penetration and range, but it falls short. It just doesn't make sense that a vtx with so much more power than the o3 is being beaten by the o3- its just shit firmware. And outside of those two there are no other offerings for a great viewing experience with good range and penetration :/
I've been on the dji eco system since the begining. Be way too expensive to switch if i wanted to. I have the v1 goggles and the goggles 2. Waiting on the 04 AU to drop before i get the goggles 3. I'm hoping my goggles 2 will work with the 04 AU at some point lol.
Not true. DJI is still compatible with all the old gear. Goggles 2 will run all current air units. Also you never mentioned anything about range and penetration for any system which for freestyle or long range pilots is crucial in making a purchasing decision. Proper long range you'd be on analogue. Best digital for range and penetration is by far DJI
What a horrible take. 😂. A lot of us strap gopros to our drones and have amazing videos and have absolutely no use for digital quality when its not even recording our video. Lol
46% of pilots here said DJI would be their pick if they started today? Does this seem right to you? what would you start FPV now days?
DJI V1 FPV goggles.
Works the same today as it did when it came out years ago. And now depreciated, can be found used at a deep discount.
Better long range picture than HDzero, and just as good for aerobatics nearby.

Yeah for $580 you can have goggles integra and an O3 air unit for less than the cost of Hdzero goggles for $600 and another $100 for antennas since they don’t come with any.
@@Quad_Fatherbut you have to spend another $300 for mid range analog goggles to fly anything less than 3.5” so it’s a toss up
DJI sucks no matter the price, in a few months they will be obsolete and yet another Goggle will be released and rinse and repeat for DJI
I'm super happy with my Integras and 03 AU.
@@mwhizzler476 I have a good 2.5 inch with a full vista and I know people that love those Pavo Pico style ones that are only 2"
I have all. HDzero is the best by far
PLEASE comment and let me know the pros and cons of each. Would be great to hear from you. owning all 3 is something so few piltos actually can do. share this knowledge please
@@UAVfutures basically for me it comes down to the break up when your video signal is weak. With Anolog and HDzero, if im getting a bad picture i can get it back by flying into a known area, or upwards instantly. But with DJI Vista/03/walksnail its buffering (like a youtube video) and stutters and if you get real bad signal it can black out, and not reconnect.
HDZ goggles have more options (HDZ, Anolog, Walksnail VRX) and are a fantastic easy to use goggle. comfortable
Walksnail Goggs are locked into WS, and are clunky to navigate, its not that much cheaper either. uncomfortable goggle. Dived mountains in Jordan and it was terrible video! Still have the VRX and 1 WS drone, but the VTX will be removed soon. i dont fly WS at all anymore.
I have Goggles V2/DJI 03 is good, great picture, amazing picture actually and records 4k. i do fly the dji03 for real estate, and for my drones that are not going to crash. I'd use them in cruisers or mountain surfing drones or 3.5inch for IG vids. Too expensive to freestlye and replace all the time. Not very durable VTX. Hated the DJI Vista/Link, the 03 is much better.
Since getting HDZ Goggle a year ago, i have flown 3 times as much already than the previous 2 years. All my HDZ is 90FPS cameras and i feel so connected to the quad with it, its like a new level of flying activates immediately. I also fly fast, so i dont need a amazing picture (like the DJI03) i need less latency.. and thats HDZero all the way baby! They also have a really solid VTX (freestyleV2) , i crash hard and they are all alive. Long range! yep no problem for HDZ, setup your antennas correctly and go miles.
Anolog is still great - especially for new people on a budget.. i would have more confidence diving a 4km mountain with anolog than WS
My preferance -HDZero - DJI03 - Anolog - Walksnail
Thanks STU

I NEED HELP PICKING FOV GOGGLES DO I NEED DIGITAL OR ANALOG FOR CLEAR VISION ?????
Great info, thanks 👍
Thanks for the video and information Stew
cheers mate. good to see you here again.
I dont deal with much customer service, but mine was a good experience with DJI.
All I care about is the quality of the googles viewscreens, not the recorded DVR footage view. I will be flying RC Planes and gliders. Does the view screen image look as good as the recorded footage shown in many videos. I want a go pro look while flying. So which one is for me?
You have to go with DJI if you want to come close. But you will never have live Go Pro kust fue to trsnsmitting power and form factor
Well DJI is going the Apple iPhone philosophy or Apple in general. It can tick a lot of people off but it doesn’t seem to bother them, the revenue fits
Going? Been that way for years. Multi billion dollar companies typically are proprietary. Still make superior product that just work. Kinda like apple 🤢 puked a little just saying that
What about the Autel Evo 2 Pro V3 Goggles? Im really curious about these digital goggles their decently priced on ebay for $129. Has anyone used the Autel Goggles or maybe someone can recommend a video with a good review. I would love to see you guys do a review on those goggles, cheers brother I appreciate you doing this video, the information was great and much needed to help me make my first goggle purchase.
Would you recommend the dji goggle 2 or the V2?
V2 or integra. I own both and can’t go wrong with either.
@@jcjrdigital5570 thanks. Im thinking of the V2 but dont knw if dji will still make it work with newer air units like the o4 when/if it comes out. 🤞🏽
the real question is what type of flying and drone do you want to fly?
@@UAVfutures i just started. Still on the liftoff sim. I have the rm boxer, ev800d, and i have 2 analog quads arriving soon (mobula8 and meteor65). I want to just fly around and do tricks. And probably take some cinematic shots during some trips on a 249g below quad. Im thinking i should buy the hdzero goggles for all hd quads and analogs.... Then get the dji goggle 2 for all things dji. Just seeing some comments that v2 is better all around
@@simpl3lang I also just got into FPV, bought EV800Ds and built two analog quads: a 5 inch using GEPRC MK4 frame and a 4 inch sub 249g one based on Flywoo Explorer. Those 2 quads combines cost less than 1 DJI Air Unit. And DJI goggles cost 10x more than ev800s.
In the 4 inch quad I have Caddx ratel 2 camera, AKK VTX and a Hawkeye 4K Thumb camera. Those combined still weigh less than O3 air unit. Plus the analog camera has a great low-light capability...
I started flying analog for the first few years but bought myself a cheap set of dji V1 goggles when the V2 was announced. I built quads with the caddx vista units and pretty much stopped flying analog except for small stuff like whoops.
If I was getting started today I would take a serious look at the caddx walksnail system, I’m not a fan of dji and caddx have always been more in touch with the FPV community.
do they still make vistas?
@@UAVfutures I don’t think so but I bought my V1 goggles and a stack of vistas cheap over 3 years ago and I still have 3 working vista units in quads and a spare in it’s box. Eventually I’ll have to upgrade to something newer but I’m always a late adopter of new tech.
Anyone know what goggles would work with roku
Good helpful info! Hopefully this is a good place to ask this question. While I DO own the Avata 2 with G3, I also have a SwellPro Splashdrone 4. I have been looking for a goggle option to get away from the 9" tablet connected to the controller. Using it to fly shark bait 1000yds off the beach is really taxing to actually see the screen in bight Florida sunlight. SwellPro said... "We don't have goggles for SD4" and that was the end of that conversation. Some insight would be GREAT. Thanks and keep up the good work.
I love fishing. is there a way you can connect a HDMI cable out to a head set?
@UAVfutures it has USB C port. Sort of doubt it has usb-hdmi output though
You could mount the screen inside a suitable box with either holes to look through or even ski goggles with lenses removed mounted to the box, this will solve your sunlight problem and this was my first fpv setup back in the very early days of fpv using a small lcd tv before goggles became a thing, massive field of view too which spoiled me as most early fpv goggles had a tiny FOV like the old fatsharks 32 degrees which I did not want 🙂👍
Hi Stew , I have a set of "Flysight View Optics" Box Goggles , that are very Similar to the "Head play" Goggles and I can honestly say , these Goggles are not bad in terms of the Large Screen size but if these things had a good quality Tablet Screen in them , never mind the big bulky goggle size , they would be very nice for flying my Camera drones but unfortunately these things has got a piece of Crappy Liquid Crystal Display Screen in them and that's the Problem but I can see where these would be great and I actually like them but all to that Cheap ass screen !!!!🤔
i've been flying since 2020 and ive taken a year break from fpv and video systems have only become more confusing lol
Awesome video man.
cheers bro
I laughed when I saw that you converted that Lightning 1 to HD. I just bought a Lightning 1 and I'm waiting for it to arrive. I can't wait. And I'm thinking that when I convert to HD if I like it as much as you apparently like yours, maybe I'll try to convert mine as well. Speaking of which how difficult was that project?
its my all time fav drone. but I have broken 1 camera so far in it. it was actually a little tricky. you have to desolder the on board vtx, there is a vid on my channel about it.
@@UAVfutures Thanks for the response! I purchased the 14kv instead of the 10kv. I'm wondering if that was a mistake as the 10kv will get more battery time.
I'm looking through your channel and I don't see a video converting from analog to digital. Can you help me find it?
@@UAVfutures I bought a HGLRC Draknight for $100 and I love it! I think it's identical to YMZFPV Lighting except HGLRC added a Buzzer/ LED in the rear. It's so fast an agile for such a tiny thing! I get up to 6 minutes of flight time using Tattu R-Line 550mAh.
Perpetuating the myth that HDZero is only for racers and showing it in the absolute worst light with that terrible reception shot, but not going over how WS and DJI smear, block, and skip frames when the signal gets low.
DJI for me. I'm willing to spend a bit more for a solid product. The Walksnail just isn't there yet (maybe in future), and I'm not spending DJI/Walksnail money for HDZero image quality. Maybe if I cared about racing but even then I'd be pretty sore about spending that much for HDZero's crap image quality.
what size drones do you mainly fly?
@@UAVfutures My most flown quads are my 4" micro long range. I love the DJI O3 (despite its price) because I can get quality footage and stay under 250g which lets me sidestep almost all the restrictions on flying drones in Canada. Almost all the "rules" become recommendations if you're under 250g. I've been flying FPV since 2013 and it's crazy to me that I can get an aerial platform that transmits in HD, shoots onboard 4K 60 or 4K 120 AND weighs less than a can of cola.
Cant really disagree with this - for my type of flying its the Walksnail Googles X
I think the DJI falls short from HDZero in the shadows.
Thanks Stew!!
my pleasrue mate, did you see my betaflight vid?
Hello is the dji googles 3 compatible with dji air unit?
not yet. one day maybe...
Awesome video!
I wish there were hd goggles with an fov of at least 100.
why? have you flown with 100 FOV?
@UAVfutures why: immersion.
Have I yet? Can I, is there a setup that will let me? The biggest was 70 something. Was good but only analogue and I was wanting more.
You can try it in the simulator, i have liftoff and tryp, and both support changing the fov
dji is just to corpo for me, i wanna feel like jonny silver hand when im blasting trees! not some arisaka gonk!
ok. 🤣
some random quad in the background has three 5 bladed props and one 3 bladed prop
If you want best on board recording obviously you want O3/DJI. The moonlight is worse quality and also heavier, and TBH I believe they've stopped making them for now, so their QA isn't as good. The V2's work with OG, vistas, and O3. Only thing not (for now) is the O4/Avata 2. Integra might be the best to get as hopefully supports OG all the way to O4 (if/when it comes). I use CobraX box for Analogue, and HDZero on top of my trusty V2s! So for hardware quality it's also DJI, the Walksnail and HDZero are miles behind on that, albeit walksnail quality to goggles is as good as 2 generation ago DJI (which is good!). Love we have so many choices!
all good points, what craft do you mainly fly? i wish dji was smaller
@@UAVfutures into wings now. Tiny whoops use analogue (though picked up one new eco HDZero mob6 recently it's ok). Vista on wings is nice. Walksnail is good and options for 3 inch are nice (a vista is too large), but the moonlight is heavier and bigger than an O3!
DJI has best image quality also range and penetration, I fly bando alot dji is best in my case. for racers I agree hdzero
how many broken air units do you have?. bandos can be rough on the wallet.
I want the size, weight, and fit of my 04x’s, the penetration of my Goggles V2, and the super clear picture of my Goggles X all in the same goggles.
I have the 1st generation walksnail goggles. The grass is a bit mushy and I didn't think the picture was as good as my V2's. Is the X really that much better than the original?
@@doccock100 The only Walksnail goggles I’ve used are the X, and they have a great picture. Idk if it’s any better than previous Walksnail goggles. The X has a lot better picture than my DJI Goggles V2, but the DJI stomps the WS for penetration.
the analog ones quality is all 1 out of 10 nowhere near a 7 tops like a 2
how excellent channel. 📢
nice video.
😇
DJI 3 !
My issue with FPV goggles, much like VR, is glasses.
What about Walksnail?
caddx is walksnail
thats caddx.
I feel inbetween a rock and a hard place. dji is a no go because I don't want to buy the goggles 2 for the o3 air and when the o4 air comes out they don't work with my goggles. It's just too big of an investment to have forwards compatibility not considered by the company. I love the idea of caddex, however I've heard a lot of bad things about that headset, quality control, firmware issues and just a nightmare in a lot of cases. Even their newest vtx, the avatar gt, sounds perfect on paper and should beat the o3 in penetration and range, but it falls short. It just doesn't make sense that a vtx with so much more power than the o3 is being beaten by the o3- its just shit firmware. And outside of those two there are no other offerings for a great viewing experience with good range and penetration :/
Love your Drone wall, Solid Ass Idea if you ask me.
The original goggles 2 and 03 air units are the best
what makes you say that? genuinlly interested and good to hear other peoples opinions.
Спасибо за полезное видио.
Bruce Waye: _Do they come in black?_
I've been on the dji eco system since the begining. Be way too expensive to switch if i wanted to. I have the v1 goggles and the goggles 2. Waiting on the 04 AU to drop before i get the goggles 3. I'm hoping my goggles 2 will work with the 04 AU at some point lol.
thats the part I hate. just waiting and hoping with DJI. even if they can technically work. they might choose not to allow it.
I used to use analog, just recently switched to DJI and have zero regrets.
Not true. DJI is still compatible with all the old gear. Goggles 2 will run all current air units. Also you never mentioned anything about range and penetration for any system which for freestyle or long range pilots is crucial in making a purchasing decision. Proper long range you'd be on analogue. Best digital for range and penetration is by far DJI
I would get the DJI.
DJI (and GoPro) have appalling costumer service!!! We don't forget, we will never use again
I got Google's 2 on Amazon for $400 and cheaper if you go used products
used is a great option. was the market of used stuff big over there in the USA?
V2 are the best googles
Annoying that can’t use simulators with the DJI goggles 3
Another shrimp on the barbie! 😊
whats a shrimp?
@@UAVfutures the rest of the world calls prawns shrimp.
ANYTHING and EVERYTHING but DJI. I just soon fly LOS before using DJI goggles to fly FPV
stupid comment award 🏆
@@therealchrislamont and a fools response award for you skippy
Another plus for analog CHEAP.
this was the first plus I spoke about in the video.
550? I just bought the fpv v2 goggles for 260
Googles v2 have been EOL for quite some time now. Buy at your own risk
@@VladTepes44 they're compatible either the 03 air unit so I didn't really see a point in 250 vs 500 dollar goggles
where?
Ebay. Practically brand new too
Theres only one box goggle out there under 100 and they are shit😂
which ones?
wow so much money they the image is garbage 😞
I love the goggles x but thr fit is not the best. I love the fit of the dji v1s but everything else I love the x
I think i agree with this. xs are a lot more compact for sure.
AOMWAY commanders - still working perfectly after 100 years of daily use
I was just talking about these yesterday.... SUCH A CLASSIC. i miss mine
Horrible video. Analog is out of date and should only be used on kamikaze drones because it’s cheap. You should only be suggesting a HD setup
what about if people cant afford digital?
What a horrible take. 😂. A lot of us strap gopros to our drones and have amazing videos and have absolutely no use for digital quality when its not even recording our video. Lol
