I agree, it's really nice to see WS/Caddex taking input and acting on it.

Caddx lists the VRX module on their website for presale.... $239 US for the module AND a micro camera/VTX. Pretty good deal all things considered... it's 159 for just the camera and VTX, so that makes the VRX module $80... Not a latency digital fan (I prefer HDZero), but at that price I'm considering trying it out, especially once those HDZero goggle hit the market and I can have access to all three video systems in 1 goggle.

I saw the title and somehow my brain interpreted it as 3D FPV, like stereoscopic binocular vision aka two cameras. I can't wait for that to happen.

Thank you for the rundown! Not a lot of good content on this system so looking forward to your take on it in the near future.

Im really rooting for theese brands to be able to take over more, mainly because of their bigger roots from FPV.. if they keep improving i might switch in the future🤟

I like that settings are saved on the Goggle side, because that should make backing up settings easier. But the VTX units obviously need some id system so the correct settings can be applied on an individual basis. A system similar to ELRS "model match" would be ideal. I think the Walksnail system could easily dominate the FPV market if they play it right.

The system's getting there but for me there's still a few things they'd need to do to get me to replace ALL my DJI gear: 1. Fix the GPS interreference issue, to the point it's the same or better than a Vista (Dealbreaker, ALL my craft have GPS). 2. Release a Avatar RC link module or partner with a RC manufacturer to integrate with Open/EdgeTx aka the DJI radio but better! (ONE RF link per quad, PLEASE!) 3. RSSI based Drone Finder Mode like the analogue modules have (less walking in circles after crashes) 4. HDMI in + out (HD Zero can do it?) 5. Headtracking support (for Fixed wing, would be great combined with #2 for low latency headtracking immersion!) 6. Realtime OSD like the DJI FPV so I can relive the days of my RVOSD / ET Vector OSD's and their graphical Artificial Horizons! (Optional, but REALLY want) Most of this will probably require a 'V2' set of goggles/air unit, hence I shall be watching & waiting!

Hi this is the first comment on this video

Thanks for the updates!! Super helpful!

The price is a big issue . Well done with the review.

Excellent video, Ian! Thanks! 😃 It's really interesting how fast this system improved. It reminds me of HDZero and ELRS! Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

I don't like their initial goggle offering, but i do have high hopes for the system overall. When they release a VRX it will allow us to use better goggles, and If they open the system up to hobbyist developers, it will easily become the #1 system even if its video quality is slightly less than avata

I'm all invested in DJI as of right now 5 vista's 1 air unit and I use the DJI transmitter. I will move away from DJI when this gear ages itself. I look forward to more from HDzero and Fatshark/walksnail as they continue to develop. Thank you as always Ian. I love your channel my friend.

At closeish range, walksnail beats dji goggle image quqlity by lengths. No idea about long range or heavy duty penetration, but if you're at least somewhat close - I say go for the walking snail. Be aware that the Walksnail goggles have an absolutely horrible fit for people with slim faces. Disregard the annoying "oh, my eyelashes touched the lens" - the lenses are literally touching my eyes when I put on the goggles with the the default foam padding. I suggest ordering a set of VrCover (or similar) paddings. They're made for VR headsets but some (you'll have to look for the right dimensions) fit really well on the various available fpv goggles.

I like where they are going with this, the VRX 1s kit really has me tempted. It seems like a perfectly viable product, with some pros and cons... as anything. but I'd understand if someone choose this route. by Karls HDzero goggles are close... DJI O3 is close.... I'll probably get the VRX and use them with my Orqas

their outboard vrx just released today , just ordered it, it ships Dec 10, I wanna see for myself..

Really wish DJI offered something like their 1S VTX package. Fear I might have to run 2 goggles as I have DJI v2's and can't use Caddx/Walksnail VRX. My other option is ZeroHD or no 75mm whoops and that isn't really an option IMO :)

Ordered the new Walksnail HD VRX package yesterday. No brainer at that price...For use with Skyzone Cobra goggles....🤔😳😮😏😏🇬🇧

Thanks for this Mads. Greets from Cardiff.

I am glad it's finally up to a competitive point in development. Any chance of a W.S. vs HDZero comparison now that it's out of Beta?

Fogging is my main issue. When you do release STL file, where could it be found? Thank ya

Another reason to get the module is IPD wider then the current goggles go, as the skyzones will go wider.

the RDQ sale on these is super tempting.....but dji still seems like its going to be best.

great video thanks.

I’ll consider walksnail if/when they release a VRx. Hard to stomach $600 for a set of goggles that are effectively a one-trick pony. Lack of input options is a nonstarter for me, personally - especially with HDZero on the horizon…

im interested in the vrx to use on my skyzone 04x , being skyzone has a new module with back pack apparently out. but should i preorder ?? there offering a decent deal and im on the fence with hdzero and caddix at the moment . and question its performance and or if new module from skyzone is needed . as usual im in a different galaxy with the tech and cost is a issue with moving forward. took 5 yrs to move from box goggles lol.

Looking forward to the VRX..... Will then have analogue, walksnail and Hdzero on one set of goggles. Best of all worlds..........

It’s so cool that a module is coming ,I’ll use it on my Orqas until the hdzero goggles release most likely the module will be out first we’ll see 😊🎃🎃.

Have you figured out the GPS problem, why is it hard to get satellites, have you found a solution

I wonder is we will se a vtx/camera that will compete with the 03 in terms of onboard recording for image quality.

Thanks for the video ... When you talk about the hardware ... You didn't say anything regarding the GPS issues ... Did you see any improvement on that?

with a BEC and Filter do the same job as the spike absorber

Very good video Ian. I thank you for bringing us up to date. The video is well constructed, objective, and to-the-point. I am very interested in trying the beta FW or being one of the beta testers. I got the impression that they want beta testers, but I can't find the link. Can you help me out?

would you pick dji or the fat shark system if you were to commit to one?

Just received my Fatshark Dominator bundle today (a day earlier then expected) installed it, did the updates. It was easier then setting up my TBS unify pro32 nano on my race quad... Unlocked the channels, done. Haven't flown it yet because rain. Would you mind showing how you installed it on that Nazgul V2 frame and maybe the STL for the antenna holder? What antenna's do you have on that frame? Went for the trueRC stubbies for the goggles so I guess I'm fine there.

If I was going to buy new goggles to try out a HD system, its gonna be a DJI system. This is why I love HDzero, it can be used on almost any goggles. Though, only problem with the DJI system is that there are no light weight VTx for whoops and micros which I fly like 99% of the time and this is where analog and HDZero is so much better even though Avatar does have a lightweight VTx....you need new goggles....Almost $800 for a complete new setup. I rather go DJI at that point.

I usually watch your videos but it says walksnail on the tittle so gonna skip it but I'll leave a comment and a thumbs up

I want some FatSnail / WalkShark meme stickers to put on my WalkShart gear

It's the anti-fog different/worse than the equivalent Fat Shark OLED (HDO2)?

Any luck with the gps problem

Be nice if someone would do a complete install and setup video.

Whats this Show your vistas get a walksnail discount????????

I am still pretty disappointed about the whole introduction, the missing FCC files, the misleading or fake parts with wrong description that it has become for me a no go product - at least for now. Why should I walk away from DJI if even DJI considers or started to supports there previous product line which had bothered me the most ? A lot of marketing hooray, just a 3 more or less paid influencers or companies at the launch with irritating videos, that is not what I like to trust. HD Zero is quite the opposite, working and not much marketing buzz nor marketing competition. Just a product being developed for a specific audience that will appreciate the silence before introduction. He had seen Orqa (or better not seen the launch of their product) with so much marketing buzz about empty black or metal boxes, then Avatar appeared with even more noise and a product not being ready before DJI prepared their next big thing from the googles to the air unit not being released. I still hope that HD Zero might get the spot behind the DJI market leader with a reliable system from the launch and of good quality without the beta stage in the hand of the owners we had seen by the walksnail system. The mayor moment will be in 6 months or Easter I guess when DJI will be out for six months and avatar too at a moment in time where both systems should at their peak level from the development point of view.

2 goggles and 1 vtx no competition for either. This is why open source wins!

Everyone with walksnail i speak to recons its still got the mushy ground issue ok its better but its still there and other issues and people i speak to have used it til now but have had enough, its not good enough they say and they go back to DJI so idk what to think tbh

Do you know how the Walksnail goggles optics compair to the DJI goggles 2 I have seen many people saying the DJI ones have blurry edges when the centre is sharp and to get the edges clear you have to adjust the position on your face and then the centre is compromised, I because I may buy a the Avata kit in the new year but cant decide which goggles to V2 or goggles 2, I have the V1 goggles and think they are excellent but can' t use them with Avata.

dude, could you please review the vrx when its released?

$199 for vrx, 1s vtx and cam...

as always, very informitive! great video. have a like, have a sub, have a comment :)

For some reason I can not get my goggles to bind to my VTX, I have 20 plus years in RC and never have been so stumped. PLEASE HELP!!!

Does audience mode work now?

caddx just sent an e-mail vrx + 1s kit for 200$

Yeah, everything but the ridiculous price.

there is blur everywhere. don't know why anyone would even think about this system yet. the shadow darkness is still terrible. wouldn't even consider this system. can you even adjust camera settings? like the OG DJI camera you can't get anymore? wanna get the DJI system but no camera out there can you adjust the camera settings thats 120fps...... really blows, don't think this system will be anywhere near DJI. its a shame. failed product IMO

PASS. Latency looks unflyable for proximity flying, which is all I do. Just somebody make us a good digital video receiver stand alone box with a real HDMI or DisplayPort out. none of this video over USB-C out rubbish. THE DJI FPV system was such a heartbreaking disappointment for people who fly to a large screen TV (totally unusable), and these are not much better. Stop trying to combine the goggles and receiver in one unit. It's a mistake. You get subpar systems on both. Let each rapidly advance on their own, connected by an industry standard cable in between. You don't want all that antenna and receiver extra weight on your face. Make the view screens as light as possible, and put all that other rubbish on a tripod with an antenna tracker. I don't even want to be wearing any googles at all,e ver again. They are universally awful. I got scammed buying into the DJI FPV system with no HDMI out and staticy epileptic shock inducing analog goggles, so yeah, I think I can wait this out. Just tell these scam companies rushing flakey poorly designed products out to getbent. Fly the sim, it's free and more fun. Hashtag Endthegogglepvwke.
