Thanks for watching. Yea, I look forward to a more powerful vtx as well. Hopefully soon. Just be sure to not power with over 4S or use a voltage reg on the power if otherwise. Yea.. he's a good guy to have around.
Yes.. its slowly maturing and improving every few months. Its better than analog for sure, but for that close in flying game not as crisp an image as DJI. I"m hoping that for long range its on par. I personally had several HORRIFIC customer service experiences with the DJI firm in the past on a couple of different products...and as such I vowed to not give them any more of my money if possible. Thus my reason for opting for the HDZ system.
Cold, but fun. Bummer about the VTX, the pre-production units didn't come with any datasheet or installation information, so you couldn't have known it only accepted 4s. My understanding is 10v 2A is the ideal setup, I have mine hooked up to a 9v 2A BEC on my FC, and it seems to be working well. I'll be range and penetration testing the 1W unit soon, just finishing up the new 7" build and waiting for decent weather, also cold and snowy here. Cheers Mike, thanks for sharing your adventures.
Thanks for watching.I dont have any interference with my other HDZ vtx's using CSFR. Nor did I with this one on the bench. Just beware the 4S power requirement or equivalent.
I do appreciate the testing but I want to see sharkbyte video more than I wanna see go pro video so please make the sharkbyte video bigger or something
I would have loved to see what you can do with the 1W vtx, it's a shame it got damaged, but from the other videos I have se you were not the only one. What were they thinking releasing it with only 4S support in a time were 6s is the standart?
Just a note, the DJI Air Unit also only handles 4s (17.6v), it’s suggested with these digital VTXs to use one of the 9v-12v BEC pads* on the FC. Just make sure it’s rated to 2A. In my case I’m using the 9v 2A pad on my Mamba F722 FC. * You can also add a BEC or voltage regulator, I believe the HDZero Freestyle VTX kit will be sold with a voltage regulator that can be installed if needed. 👍
Yes that's my understanding too. That the first lot to ship will include a voltage regulator and a future run will have a built-in voltage regulator. Unfortunately I was not informed of the limits until AFTER having done a couple of flights and some bench tests. Oh well.
Awesome video. Too bad bout the vtx. Cant wait until i get to order one. PS. Must be nice to have such a nice copilot.

Good stuff. I fly DJI but this HDZero is getting my attention for sure ;)

Problem or not, good shootin!
Thanks for watching and thanks for the kind words!

Yep. Live and learn. Also, dont ever attempt a Smart Audio change of VTX power mid flight. The feed will drop out.
Nice run. Waiting on the HD.zero vtx. I run ghost so there is zero interference from the TX.

There will be other vids of that another time..when I have a good SB system working.
can you just fly in that cold weather or is does it damage the fpv goggle ?
The goggles survived. Thanks for watching.
Would it damge the goggle if you flie often in cold weather ?
@@electronicdestructor9401 I dont know. Mine has held up so far in cold. But I have flown in below freezing only a half dozen times.
Ok thanks

Thanks for watching. They sent me a first batch unit to test which only supports 4s. Later was informed the 2nd batch will support 6s.

damn go pro angle way too low if your goggles are capturing more
Yep..its always something to tweak.
crossfire interference !
I doubt it. I used one of their vtxs normally, with no interference. Clean image.
