    Joshua, would you ever consider a video where you pick a couple of price points ($300, $500, $700, etc.) and put together a complete FPV setup (drone, controller, goggles, batteries, charger, etc.) if you were brand new today?
    Thank you for the informative video on the goggles today!

    One point I wish you had gone over is the optics of each goggle. As in what adjustments they have for us with weak eye genetics, who require glasses. I myself have the good ol Fatshark HD3s as they were the best goggles at the time I got into this hobby. I really want my next pair of goggles to have adjustments for their optics. Instead of those stupid diopters that aren't ever excatly right and dig into my forehead while I change batteries or props.

    • @peter4presidente
      @peter4presidente Рік тому +10

      Research I did in university some years back showed that the time between a visual input and a resulting action from the hands was about 300msec. This was a sort of whac-a-mole test - in FPV flying, a more complex task - this time will be longer. To put these latency numbers in perspective

      That’s not true, first off racing pilots have much lower reaction times. Combine that with muscle memory and knowledge of the course and the “feel” of previous inputs and you get a scenario that 20-50 ms makes a massive difference.
      This same amount of bogus science impacted gaming development because “research shows no significant difference between 60 fps and 100fps” “no discernible difference in image quality after 1440p” etc etc.

  • @JoshuaBardwell
    @JoshuaBardwell  Рік тому +64

    The latency numbers for analog and HDZero should be even lower, if a fair comparison to DJI and Walksnail is to be made. The DJI/Walksnail numbers of around 25-35 ms are how long it takes the very first pixel to change on screen. To draw an entire frame is between 8-16ms longer than that. For HDZero and analog, the 14-16 ms number is the whole-frame latency. First-pixel latency for analog and HDZero is between1-3 ms. So a proper (fair) comparison would be to either add 8-16 ms to DJI and Walksnail or subtract about 16 ms from analog and HDZero.

  • @dalan158

    HDZero goggles with 90hz camera. Having the lowest latency possible is the most important to me. It’s like gaming on a high refresh rate display; the smoothness of the motion and connected feel makes the whole experience of performing quick actions much more predictable.

  • @Mennenth
    @Mennenth 4 місяці тому +2

    Based on the video quality comparisons...
    If I valued low latency I'd go analog. That digital sparkle of hdzero looks really bad, and eh penetration when its possible to get higher powered analog makes analog better than hdzero. Imo, anyway.
    So the question for digital where image quality is preferred over low latency, its dji vs walksnail.
    ... And thats tough. I wouldnt be able to fly with blurry smudges when mbps goes low for the same reason I disable motion blur in video games; makes it look like soup, which actually gives me a form of motion sickness.
    So dji for the win?
    But man... The price and less compatibility makes that a hard sell...

  • @DatMilu2K
    @DatMilu2K Рік тому +9

    I started FPV around a year before DJI released their digital system. At the time I had the best analog systems and decided to try out the DJI system. (v1 goggles with a quad with a dji air unit).
    I immediately was stunned by the quality, it was like looking at GoPro footage, but it was a live flight! I could see every branch and blades of grass. Absolutely groundbreaking ,I thought!
    Unfortunately, during that very first flight I also lost complete interest in this new system. Spots/bushes/tight concrete spaces which were easily flyable with analog (although, sometimes at some spots, with terrible signal) were not flyable at all with the dji video feed. The higher and variable latency made it just way too hard to fly these gaps, and in the bushes it dropped some frames so that the next thing I was my drone is laying on the ground, without me being able to react. With analog, even with the worst signal, i can still make out contours which saved my countless of times.
    Nowadays, I mainly fly my analog toothpick and leave my dji stuff in the closet. I prefer that much more over the digital experience I had back then. Im sure it got much better tho, but I would probably prefer HDZero over a digital system.
    Edit: I got HDZero a few weeks ago and its amazing! If youre an analog pilot who wants a better image with the same low latency and responsiveness, I highly recommend HDZero! :)

    I currently fly with the DJI V1 goggles, and I've been wanting to upgrade to something a bit more compact with OLED screens. I don't really have a problem with the video, I'd just like a nicer pair of googles. I only fly freestyle (and usually alone), and I record all of my video on the DJI air unit (my flying isn't good enough to warrant the price of a GoPro). I have also been thinking it would be nice to fly something smaller than 5" from time to time.
    I waited for all of these new systems to come out so I could compare them, and now that the dust has settled I'm still undecided. I seem to fall right between the cracks of these systems. The closest one would be the HDZero goggles with a Walksnail VRX, but I'd almost never use the HDZero VRX. The DJI goggles are the size and features I want, but the price of the O3 AUs is too high, and not having defogging is pretty annoying.
    I think I'll keep flying my DJI V1s, and wait for a sale on one of the systems (I bought my DJI V1s at a really good price). I'd also like to leave some time to see if the Walksnail latency on HDZero goggles improves.

    tl;dr DJI is best overall. Analog for budget and whoops.
    Personally, I started with and currently use DJI V2, but ordered the HDZero for versatility and open source goodness.
    Also, while the O3 image is almost as good as a Gopro, it doesn't offer the same versatility of popping it off to use on another setup without a dedicated cam for each (cinewhoop to 5", helmet cam, tripod, etc.); I guess you could technically strap a cinewhoop to a 5" or your helmet... Feels like the cost weight to performance of O3 or GoPro is actually a more meaningfully nuanced decision than which video system to pick.
    I was kind of hoping this video would have made it more nuanced, but the clear winner is DJI. The vast majority of pilots aren't going to be racing, freestyling, or otherwise at such a level where they may get anything truly meaningful from HDZ or analog latency other than subjective "feels". A few may get some meaningfully more objective benefit from them, but real world it won't matter for most.

    Analog: the best for beginners, long rangers and micro flyers. Mature, cheap, light, high penetration, looks bad.
    HDZero: best for racers and technical proximity flyers. Not cheap, looks good, very best latency, poor penetration. Still needs further development. It's open source.
    Walksnail: a DJI wannabe system. Stil needs further development. It's a closed system but it won't lock you in its own ecosystem like DJI.
    DJI v2: best for cruisers and freestylers. Expensive, high resolution, high penetration but variable latency. Very closed system, planned absolency via their updates.
    DJI 2: best for cruisers. Even more expensive, best image and penetration but at the expense of higher latency. It's their last version.

  • @Baleur

    It's interesting how different people are in their preferences.
    I absolutely understand people who care most about latency, ultra maneuverability and choose Analogue for that.
    For me, image quality and transmission stability is without question the most important thing i care about.
    So the DJI downsides of being heavy, no back / side compatability, no third party support, really isnt even a con for me.
    I want to feel as close to "eyeball-quality" as possible when i fly, so there's no other system that even comes close.
    I dont need very low latency for freestyle tricks, i dont need betaflight HUD features.
    I just want the best possible image quality when flying.
    Now, IF someone else developed an equal quality system, that WAS open source and compatible with more things, i'd get that 100%.
    But so far nobody has managed to do that, at the same price / size.

    White sparkles in HDZ are there because the signal is produced on the screen as it has arrived.
    Any additional processing would increase latency. Perhaps they could have an option to enable additional algorithm with sacrifice of the latency.

    So what I get from this is that DJI is the best. Which brings to mind the question I’ve been having since DJI NEO came out. I’ve seen videos about DJI going long 3 km long and then are there videos or at least one where they use the DJI Neo in fob mode and free styling like crazy. My question is is the long distance achievable with the FPV radio controller as well as if it is achievable the freestyle with the RC-N3 included in the Neo combo?? Because I’m thinking buying the DJI neo fly more combo and wait for the leaked Dji budget goggles. Or if it is not possible to combine those… then buy the DJI neo alone, and wait for the budget goggles and combine them with the freestyle FPV radio controller, only if it’s possible to achieve the long distance flight with those two. Did I get it right? Hope I made myself clear. Lol

    Silly question here but are there any low profile goggles with a direct input for cameras that you’d recommend? I was hoping the HDzero had an input but according to their customer support it only supports MIPI signals.

    @Kaffimusic Рік тому +1

    Thanks for that overview. But... I know you are into copters only, but videos like that could make also sense to consider the needs (or no-needs) of wing pilots. The whole latencything might be quite different when flying with wings and also depending on style. Wingpilots sometimes fly close proximity, but mostly not.

    Clarification question. Joshua said DJI FPV Goggles V2 could be used with an analog system as well as a digital system? I have a pair of fat shark transformer SE from like four or five years ago and a little diatone 2.5 drone that I got with it at the time. I haven’t flown it in four years and I’m just starting to get back into FPV. I was looking at upgrading goggles potentially and I wanted to get a 5 inch prebuilt bind and fly, maybe something like a Nazgul that I’ve been seeing a lot of videos about. Would those DJI goggles work with both my existing drone and something new like the Nazgul?

    It's DJI, on capacity and RND alone. The future of FPV as a technological direction will be shaped by DJI and the rest will try to follow, or buy off DJI and remarket a product. Only laws and regulations could stop or alter this path (now built by DJI). Should DJI stop making FPV systems tomorrow, then only second rate systems (available on the market today) will be what we squable and debate over in chats, etc. This of course will have no impact on the jobs of UA-cam influencers ;-), am I right JB?

    Can someone donate their experience, please?
    I'm new to the hobby and buying everything from scratch right now.
    I see myself flying cinematic and freestyle, so can someone with experience recommend which way to go if:
    I like the ability to buy crazy high output vtx's for analog.
    I'm worried about how important seeing details is, and how restrictive flying analog or HD0 is in that regard.
    It matters to me to have good latency, even if I'll mainly fly cinematic. I know the importance of those seemingly meaningless milliseconds.
    I have no problem buying a GoPro for good quality recordings, so the O3's quality only matters for me regarding to-goggles video.
    Being locked to DJI's ecosystem worries me slightly, because once you go in that rabbit hole, any replacement is theirs to price as they will, since they don't allow competition while using their goggles.
    I'll spend however much necessary, but I don't want to buy 2 goggles.... Yet, and if at all possible.
    I don't really have any option to try out the different goggles, otherwise that's exactly what I'd have done.
    All the rest are bonuses to me (RTX bulge on HD0 is only a slight annoyance. I'll deal with no fogging fan on G2, bulky antennas etc...)

    I'm really leaning to the dji v2 goggle because of all the abilities it gives. Can it communicate with analog systems with that AV plug in and a adapter? I saw one in another video. What about comfort? Eye relief? Prescription needs? These are big factors as well for goggles I'd think.
