I've just fallen in love with walksnail, but once companies start making lighter kits and goggles I think open source option is always gonna win in the long run
@@OneManUnmanned Yeh I'm not regretting my walksnail purchases because i'm thinking it will be atleast another year before we have stable/mature products on the market , and I don't wanna fly analog for that long!
The runcam version of openipc uses a usb wireless dongle as a receiver. You have FPVue android which allows to vue the video on your android device, FPVue_xr is a POC that runs on the quest ! We are still ongoing but it is really promising ! I'm so hyped to have a usable cheap HD system ^^
Thanks, I appreciate that. Yeah, I think we’re all waiting for a VRX with HDMI out. Its still possible with this current system, and I’ve talked about it in the install video here: ua-cam.com/video/uVBRpRsg_YA/v-deo.html
I was just getting ready to purchase the analog split 4 from Happy Model when I saw your video. Things move too fast in this hobby. Emax Tiny Hawk 2 is only available on ebay now.
I can imagine a whole new era of low cost digital FPV products with this integrated into them, replacing analog ones. Micro RC cars with this already installed...
I totally agree, and I’m sure its in the works. in the mean time, I’ve done an install video and its possible to use your existing goggles, as long as it has an HDMI in port. ua-cam.com/video/uVBRpRsg_YA/v-deo.html
Hello Emax, i am a software developer with main focus on image recognition and production automation. I would love to get my hands on a development sample of this camera system. Please tell me who will support my request in your company and which steps to take for a speedy delivery?
No footage if how the image looks? No possibility to hook the vrx up to like a HDzero goggle? Really interesting system, looking forwad to some flight footage/video from the cam image. Nice to see you testing this. Cheers!
Thanks I appreciate that. I’ve just released the install video answering all these questions. Using the HDZero goggles is possible. ua-cam.com/video/uVBRpRsg_YA/v-deo.html
Recording takes place within your mobile device. I think range would vary depending on VTX and environmental conditions…I’m sure a few hundred meters for the 100mw version, and a few km for the 800mw variant. There are videos on YT from MarioFPV doing range testing.
I wish they'd make a set of goggles that can accommodate a fully functional and somewhat integrated Analog module as well. It would be a truly "open source" solution. For whoops, analog is still king.
No that's not how it works. You could connect it to you device and then use HDMI output from that to get it within goggles. Radxa Zero 3W is another option. The VRX here I believe is really just a USB network device connected over OTG. The stream that it sends still needs to be decoded on the device.
Curious, does the USB C on the VRX work with AR glasses like the XREAL? Uses displayport over USB C so would be curious if that would just be plug and play (with power injection of course)
I don't think so, as the processing is being handled on the device. At least I would be surprised if the XREAL would handle the required processing without modification. I believe the VRX can basically be thought of as an external USB network device connected over OTG. The decoding of the stream gets handled on the device it's connected to.
Hi, I'm really interested in next video after installing it in a drone and test it in flight. It's time for me to move from analog to digital system but all "official" systems are too expensive. I definitely will move to open ipc. Please test it 😊
I agree, this is a very cost effective way to go digital. I just finished my install and 1st impression video here: ua-cam.com/video/uVBRpRsg_YA/v-deo.html
@@OneManUnmanned MarioFPV mentioned on his channel that they were in the works, and apparently had an imagine of a prototype for honorary members. I haven't checked it out though, just relaying the information.
Cons: (1)It’s not really proven (still in development/testing phase). (2) Its not refined(still using 3D printed cases) and somewhat bulky for 800mw version VTX. (3) No goggles exist for the system Pros: (1) Open Source which leads to: (a) Fast development (b) Lower cost (c) More pilot involvement/contributions (d) More options for hardware (2) Lightweight (3) Low latency (4) More digital options for pilots and increased competition among manufacturers
Also its encrypted. its based on wifi tech and security camera tech.. so it should be commodity/jelly bean components.. also should be lots more power efficient I hope.. one day.
How do you handle the reports of the toxic developer environment from other prominent FPV related figures? I personally don’t want to buy into a bad community, where HDZero is legendary for being a constructive environment.
I'm crying😢 I just went dji as my digital system! 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢 why is it when I put my money into a tried n trusted system a new one comes out? How much money do they think we have? It's a hobbie? An expensive one!😂
openIPC isn't intended to be a fpv system, but a open source security camera system through wifi/LAN, while some hobbyist do managed to modify it with some feature of video transmission using wifi which well-invested from other projects (wifibroadcast, openhd), and make it to a real deal
Not exactly what you said. We used WFB-ng and later RubyFPV as a WiFi link and a modified OpenIPC firmware. The combination made this awesome fpv system.

As a dev of OpenIPC I would like to thank you for testing our firmware. Looking forward to seeing your test flight. Cheers mate!😊🍻
Thanks, I appreciate that.
Is there any chance we can get stable 20ms, whatever quality transmission on curently existing hardware?
I love OpenIPC. Thanks for reviewing… subscribed !
Thank You, I appreciate that. Install video is now up here: ua-cam.com/video/uVBRpRsg_YA/v-deo.html
I can't wait to try Open IPC, i bet there will be companies jumping on this just like when ELRS started out. Great info, thanks for sharing.
Not a problem.. companies are starting to do so. I think RunCam and EMAX are the two that comes to mind. It's only going get better from here.
@@OneManUnmanned Yes, i can't wait.
Cant wait
Waiting is the hardest part…Install video is here: ua-cam.com/video/uVBRpRsg_YA/v-deo.html
Sounds amazing! Looking very forward to an open source digital option! Hopefully it picks up steam as quickly as ELRS did!
Me too…ELRS was advancing at a really quick pace.
I've just fallen in love with walksnail, but once companies start making lighter kits and goggles I think open source option is always gonna win in the long run
I think so too...All we have to do now is wait(which might be the hardest part).
@@OneManUnmanned Yeh I'm not regretting my walksnail purchases because i'm thinking it will be atleast another year before we have stable/mature products on the market , and I don't wanna fly analog for that long!
I'm kinda excited about this. Been watching this develop for a minute and it seems to be picking up steam.
I agree..The hardware is getting smaller, and UI seems to be getting better. Thanks, Bro!
Open source digital? Nice. Looks like we'll have an affordable alternative in the near future.
Very true…time will tell
I think Meta Quest 2 or 3 can perfectly fit as headset for this system. It has powerful hardware, Android and high-end screens and optics 👍
Thats not a bad idea…I guess it comes down to cost now.

I think you already have a board from openipc called the radxa 3W which works as a groundstation, and have an hdmi output

One mini hdmi output on the reveiver to connect to other goggles could be a great improvement!!

Very keen to see it going. As you said ELRS has changed RT/TX and this will likely do the same for video.
Has it an analogue output of goggles?
No analog output but there are ways to get it to your goggle…I talk about it in the install video here: ua-cam.com/video/uVBRpRsg_YA/v-deo.html
My gut tells me, this will be the answer
Yes…
I skipped through the video I'm.lookiing for the video quality but no flight video ? Apologies if I missed something...
No image quality in this video... It still has to be installed and tested.
No footage if how the image looks?
No possibility to hook the vrx up to like a HDzero goggle?
Really interesting system, looking forwad to some flight footage/video from the cam image.

What range can you get on both does have SD slot for onboard recording cheers looks cool I'm in UK don't ship there

I wish they'd make a set of goggles that can accommodate a fully functional and somewhat integrated Analog module as well. It would be a truly "open source" solution. For whoops, analog is still king.
That would be amazing! For now we have to settle with HDMI In/Out.
Could you use a usb c to hdmi adapter to display the signal in some goggles like Walksnail or HDZero?
Yes, that's a high possibility... I'll be confirming that in a few days.
No that's not how it works. You could connect it to you device and then use HDMI output from that to get it within goggles. Radxa Zero 3W is another option.

Can this be linked with VTX to DJI goggles?
Possibly to DJI V1 and V2 goggles…I’ll be be doing some testing on it soon.

would it go in a pavo 20 pro btw love your vids
Thanks! I don't see why not. As long as your drone has 25x25mm mounting holes(or some kind of adapter), it should fit.
How about some cheap OpenIPC box goggles?
That's what I'm waiting for...Hopefully it's in the works. Good part is, any manufacturer can make it.
@@OneManUnmanned I was just about to order Walksnail gogles L for $199 but I think I'll wait a bit... at least until black friday :-)

I have some videos on my channel of OpenIPC flight videos
I see open source, I am onboard
Yes…Me too.
Interesting. I have been flying HDZero since it's inception.What are the pros and cons of this system compared to it? TIA...🖖🏼

90 fps? Analog is 25 to 30 fps! What's DJI FPS? Anyways I'm impressed!
I thin DJI Has multiple frame rates..I think 30 and 60fps.
does it use the FPVue APP like the Runcam openIPC setup along with a gs.key file?
Yes it does
How do you handle the reports of the toxic developer environment from other prominent FPV related figures? I personally don’t want to buy into a bad community, where HDZero is legendary for being a constructive environment.
1st time hearing about it…Every community has their bad apples. I say use the tool(protocol) that best suits your flying needs.
2 watt receiver? Interesting...
That’s how they are describing it..Based on how much power is consumed.
I'm crying😢 I just went dji as my digital system! 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢 why is it when I put my money into a tried n trusted system a new one comes out? How much money do they think we have? It's a hobbie? An expensive one!😂
This Hobby is def not cheap...DJI is not bad, and this protocol still hasn't reached maturity yet. So you still have time.
This will never be ass good as dji
I love OpenIPC but at this time I’m missing the goggles. They will come in due time. Then I’ll be the first one pushing for it
I’m using my hdzero goggle with an diy openipc vrx that has hdmi out
Goggles is the missing link, but it can still be done currently using a USB-C hub with HMDI out port.

Part of the official team is developing the FPV side though
Thanks for the explanation!
@@mariofpv I mean before that, ofc I know your made tons of effort in porting the wfb/ruby to the system and make it usable for FPV usage
Cool
👍
Any modules for goggles?
DIY only for now…
Not yet, but you can make them compatible with any HDMI Goggle using a USB-C Hub…I talk about it briefly here: ua-cam.com/video/uVBRpRsg_YA/v-deo.html
