  • Here's my first reactions and tests of HDZero's Freestyle VTX going through the power levels from 25mW all the way up to 1W.
    I also tested an analog quad on 200mW and 1W+, and fly some DJI along with getting the reaction from a first-time HDZero pilot, who currently uses DJI.
    It's a long video, but hopefully an interesting perspective that you'll enjoy. Thanks for watching and happy flying!

    Mark, I have to give you credit where it’s due, this is one of the best, if not the best comparison videos of all three systems that’s been released so far. No bias, no bullshit, all three systems on their best settings flown around the same path and environment. HDzero is leagues ahead of analogue here. Well done, and that bando looks incredible…

      Kind words indeed. Thanks very much man. I'd like to do another test at some point with DJI on 25mbps mode and both systems (I'm not going to bother with analog much more as I simply don't enjoy flying out any more!) flying together to give users a good idea of what it's like to fly in a mixed group and how to deal with that.

    Good video mate, recently got into FPV myself and decided on the HDZ system. I initially thought I would go DJI, bought a Nazgul V3 with DJI to only decide against it last minute so replaced the O3 with the Freestyle v2. Really enjoying HDZ because it’s so flexible and feature rich and the fact that I only have park flying available to me in Northamptonshire it works great for me. Also the fact that it’s such a great analog goggle it’s perfect for my whoops.

  • @NarcolepticLTD
    @NarcolepticLTD 2 роки тому +1

    Good show lad! You're apologizing for your slow flying when honestly that's what's needed to really see the breakup in a test like this. I think the biggest challenge here is getting that big red pig to fit in a frame... Looking at a mock-up in cad it should technically fit in the frame I'm having cut, but won't know till I have the unit and frame in hand to try and shoe horn it in there.

    • @eatyourvegfpv
      @eatyourvegfpv  2 роки тому

      Thanks! And yes I get what you mean so I was trying to fly relatively slowly to show areas of breakup that if flying quicker, would probably be passed through without much issue.
      Yep, the VTX isn't small, but where there's a will, there's a way! Good luck with your build 😉🤞

  • @reevolution_fpv

    You're not the worst pilot in the world either!
    Nice video dude. So well made.
    How did you find ELRS do too?
    You're not seeing things. The jumping is the most annoying thing on DJI. I think it's the equivalent of the flashes you see on analogue and hdzero. So give and take I guess.

    • @eatyourvegfpv
      @eatyourvegfpv  2 роки тому

      Thanks mate, Very slowly getting there... Glad you liked the video!
      I flippin' LOVE ELRS. Got nothing bad to say about it at all and wish I'd changed sooner.
      I SWEAR I can notice the difference between the 50hz I used to get flying Crossfire (I ran it on dynamic so it was rarely ever on 150hz) and the 500hz ELRS is.
      I put it down to the fact that I've extremely slow reactions, unlike most pilots who say they can't feel latency differences, and the fact that because my reactions are so incredibly slow, that I actually notice anything that changes my reaction-ability for better or worse. I'm sure that doesn't make sense and I'll think about how to explain that better and maybe include my thoughts on that in a future video at some point.

      Oh he ALWAYS does when flying with other people. He's excellent at knowing and understanding how to make the systems all play nicely together.
      In fact in my next video testing a few different types of omni antennas on HDFZero, I'll be including some DJI footage of what it's like to fly this same location, same path, on 25mbps/700mW on DJI 😉

      Hey mate! Hope you're well and dry over there 😉
      The HD02's don't have native 4:3 HDMI input, but the Skyzone 04X's do so I swapped to them so I could take advantage of the Micro V2 cameras as they're 4:3 switchable now.

      @eatyourvegfpv  2 роки тому +1

      Thanks for the kind words!
      I was viewing the changes I was making in the goggles on screen display (OSD), but making the actual changes using the sticks on my radio to operate a feature that's built into the video transmitter (VTX).
      That's sounds complicated when you're a beginner but once you use it once or twice, it's not at all.
      Hope that helps answer that for you and happy flying! 🤘

    @adamking6957 2 роки тому +1

    I had that same stuttering experience, and it always felt like it happened in the sketchiest spots. It freaked me out and made flying no fun. I sold all my digital gear and went back to analog. Thinking of moving to HDZero.
    My goggles are old HD2s. I think the resolution is 800x600, less than the 1280x720 required by hdzero. Have you ever tried plugging the module into an older pair of goggles?

    • @eatyourvegfpv
      @eatyourvegfpv  2 роки тому

      Hi, sorry for the slow reply!
      I haven't personally tried using HDZero on goggles with that sort of resolution but I'm sure you wouldn't experience the system at it's best so maybe consider the HDZero goggles when they come out in a few months time if budget allows?

  • @TERBANGFPV
    @TERBANGFPV 2 роки тому +1

    i use dji, and want to test hdzero.. but im afraid the hdzero is not better than analog in term of breakup..

    • @eatyourvegfpv
      @eatyourvegfpv  2 роки тому +1

      Hi! I find that mW for mW, HDZero outperforms analog. When there is breakup, I find it less distracting than analog breakup because analog also goes black and white often, then colours mess up etc. HDZero doesn't do that.
      HDZero definitely won't match your DJI setup in terms of range and/or penetration though. It has many other benefits though.

    This is the same frame as the nazgul5. Did you change the height of the standoffs?

    • @eatyourvegfpv
      @eatyourvegfpv  2 роки тому

      Yep, you're correct. I did change the standoffs for some slightly taller ones to allow me to fit the VTX on top of the stack in the middle. This means that you can't use the carbon camera plates, so I just used some simple 3D printed camera mounts instead.

    • @eatyourvegfpv
      @eatyourvegfpv  Рік тому

      Yep I was hoping for a little better from 1W here too, but when. In the same room in this location, multipathing is horrific and analog is almost unusable so actually HDZero is doing extremely well there.
