I still rock only analog!

Amazing, just 25 mW. They must have giant milliwatts over there in New Zealand 😎

The T-Rex Camera range from Foxeer is insane! They're Thomas' goto camera for both freestyle and cinematography drones. We were at a shoot where he was running both DJI and also his Analog rig running the Foxeer. Anyway there was this one power line I needed to constantly warn him of because it was so hard to see with the DJI. Once he switched back to his Analog rig with the Hero10 for the remaining shots, that power line he could see perfectly. I honestly didn't think there would be a scenario where you would have more information in analog over digital. Even an old fella like me learned some very interesting that day. We still get people who are surprised that we haven't switched over to digital and realistically its just not that simple, hence we use both

My goodness, this is close enough to digital for me! Very beautiful footage!

Fantastic flying and review, Bruce! 😃 The camera looks fantastic! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Analog for life baby!!!

I'm sticking with analog. Thanks for the review. Best wishes from Central Texas!

Thanks for another great video Bruce. Would love to see a future video with a comparison of T-Rex, HD Zero and Walksnail, DJI in 4 screens. That would be the ultimate video to help us decide.

Bruce, your reviews rock brother!

It's looks great for analog I know that's what I'm going to put in my next build thanks I learn a lot from your channel

GREAT review, excellent recommendation.

Thank you for making this video! I love to fly analog!

Damn best clearest analog video ive seen. My analog doesnt look this good 10ft away

Thanks Bruce. I’ll check out the Mads Tech review but appreciate your tear down reviews. I do understand it must take more time but I learn more than just the product from tear downs.

Nice one! Almost convinced me to try analog again ;) The bumpiness of fixedwings... I knida get used to it. Other than that - I love planes and flew a lot with wings and planes the last 2 or 3 months. Released a little short today from a nice location and today already had the next great flight. Our autumn is really nice to us (25°C still) greets, Mario

That’s insanely high quality video!

I’m still flying analog and I’m still loving it. Can’t wait to get a vrx for digital maybe later down the road but fpv in general is so fun idc what I’m flying as long as I’m flying!

Great Review Bruce 😎

Nice video. Thx, Bruce!

even having seen this in your video and others, when it arrived I was surprised how teeny tiny it is for what it is. it's no bigger than any other analog FPV transmitter in my collection.

Great test. Compared this with my 2015-style gear on an old plane. Two worlds. Interesting choice of ...er...music.

amazing footage

Nice to see you doing some medium range flying from the airfield. I'm not sure I've ever seen you fly that far before. Are you going to do some "Backpack and Crash" videos this year? Thanks for the great review! I'm really looking forward to your roundup review of all of the fpv systems. Keep up the great work!

im still on analogue I just got one of those T-Rex cameras can't wait to try it.

Nice Flight and Great Music selection 🎵🎵🎵🎵🎶🎶🎶

And I thought that digital was the only way to go for high quality fpv! since I already have an analog fpv headset, I will definitely pick this up!

That's the best I've ever seen.

So that's where the good weather went! :S Fast and low along those treelines would be awesome. Greetings from Norway :D

wow things have come a long way! i gotta get back into FPV again, been way too long (like, nearly 10yrs 😢)

Yeah wow, that's not the analog I'm used to. Very clear! No worries for an enjoyable flight for sure. :)

The thing I still love about analog is the fact you do not need to spend hundreds of ££ on goggles to use it. Just a cheap RX and lcd screen and your good to go. Ideal for folks like me that can't get on with wearing goggles. And before anyone chimes in and says i could simply use the HDMI output on a set of HD goggles to plug into a screen, that makes for a very expensive RX unit! I am hoping that it will not be too long before a standalone RX unit is available for one or more of the HD systems. Especially useful if you run a base station using a tracking system. I run AKK vtx's coupled to various runcam split type cameras, and I would say that this Foxeer vtx is giving better results. Nice to see that analog is still being developed, with decent units still being made.

Great video thanks

Cheers mate

Go strong Bruce!

Excellent. Just some thoughts....... After flying all the current systems I'd say I enjoy them all the same. I've found theirs more to fpv than simply resolution and I think this is something those new to the hobby don't appreciate. This vtx I will no doubt add to the fleet at some point. Camera looks nice as well. I also like the runcam phoenix I think it handles various light conditions better than the T-rex. Something very important in sunny Yorkshire.

Awesome 👍

Could the noticable quality difference be because of the cleaner setup on a wing compared to the messy rf emissions on a quad?

Wow really nice .

I love how all the analog companies have just started to yolo the power 😅 heard something interesting yesterday... apparently the people who make pandarc vtxs also make high end sex dolls. Food for thought.

Damn that's as good as any digital system out there

Still flying analog as long as my friends continue and until digital stops being proprietary.

I killed my TRex this week. Grey screen on boot and then the magic smoke came out on the next boot. Dropped the quad in some wet grass a few days earlier so I blame water ingress. Cost me AU$60 at the start of this year and now close to AU$100 from Aliexpress. Well worth a post mortem in case it was a regulator that smoked. Bloody good camera as you found.

Another interesting review, and much to many peoples disbelief, analogue has not stopped improving since digital hit the scene. Many of the digital evangelists I know are shocked by the image quality I get with my Skyzone o4X's and this camera. It has really closed the gap, especially when you add the other small things like better low light capability, 110dB WDR and all weather capability. With everything considered, analogue is still very relevant and the advancements are still coming. Thanks again.

Thanks for the review on this, I have only recently got into FPV and have analogue kit at the moment and will probably stay that way until the digital market settles down a bit. Out of interest what VRX and goggles are you using?

Hi Bruce Great video and review of the Foxeer Reaper. WOW, 2.5w vtx, Foxeer is one of the best electronics for the money. I could see using it on my QAV-S. Thanks for the video and information on the Reaper

Yes still sticking with analog in 2022 👍

That's crazy good for analog.

I lost a lot of that flickering when I went to dual steadyview modules on the 04X running quadversity. They are expensive but well worth it.

I'm going to put this on my CTH ALBATROSS 46" RC plane. Solid RF.

Have you tried Clearview, Bruce? I love analog, and just flew 26km recently with the RMRC with SAW filter. VAS antennas.

Great job! 👍

Missed it by that much I was the 2nd one to like the video

Nice 👌

Hi there love your content, can you please advise if the big goggles that are on the same site are compatible with the transmitter in your video , I'm not very good at deciphering The jargon😢, While we're on that I can't seem to find which way which way the antenna's are pologised should I just replace 2 , 1 on tx , 1on re

Bruce what about with one of the Analogue Rx for the DJI FPV headset? Thanks Laurie (Good building weather this weekend). 😅

That is insane for analog 😲 im sold

I still love your reviews Bruce! I just don't have the time to dig into things much anymore. RunCam Pheonix 2 VS Foxeer Trex? I think they both look great. Do you have any preference???

I've been an analogue video enthusiast for some years, specifically consumer entertaintment. Analogue video is much better than we remember it, because what we remember was the worst of it.

do you recommend this vtx for wing? and do you need to use special antena for its 2.5 watt?

You're walking the snail too ha? I'm still all on analog. Keen to see your reviews though, thanks!

It depends what your needs are. On a sub 200g quad even 13g is going to be between 5 and 10% all up weight change. If flying performance is your main aim, that is significant and noticeable. I use a 25/200mW Vtx (only ever on 25mW) that weighs 2g, and it works fine for me. So, horses for courses.

The thing you didn't mention Bruce is that yes, you can brute force a good signal with crazy wattage, but alternatively you can stay legal and use a really low power vtx, and instead invest your money in antennas. No need to use such a expensive and power hungry VTX when instead you can just get yourself a good wide beam high gain patch antenna

Analog is fine...for wings that fly a loonngg way🤗 13.3 km + Analog is great too for 5 inchers in sunshine. I use the JB Phoenix2 and the TRex.....with TBS Pro32 HV,s and one of these new fangled Reaper Extremes.....great results🤗 HD at every other scenario.

I have 23 quads all on analog not switching anytime soon 🤘😎🤘

How do I fit all that in my mobula7 whoop?

What's the size of the mounting holes? I assume they're there for a cooling fan?

@RCModelReviews hey Bruce, wondering if you or anyone else knows what the difference is between the foxeer reaper extreme 2.5w vs the foxeer reaper extreme 2.5 V2? Thanks for your time.

Would the good for flying in the woods with lots of trees below the tree line?

What resolution would you say this analog transmission would be comparable to in pixels? I would have thought 1200TVL and above would look like 1080p but this video seems far from

Hey do you do repair work on transmitters I have a detrum gavin 8c that I reversed power and need repair will pay good

Mr Steele should watch this Video ;)

Does the Reaper have the same kind of well working self-protection as the TBS Unify Pro32 HV? (Which you could just remove the antenna from and it would *not* fry itself?)

Great work. Greetings from germany. I wanted to know if you have any stuff for sale that you have reviewed. If yes, I would be willing to buy. - thaddeus

I use the caddx baby ratel 2 seems to have the best picture to me

Would a system like this work well at ground level in an rc car?

Great video presentation Sir, have been on the fence with the whole digital thing.... The set-up that you have demonstrated seems to have great and clearer video then any other analog that I have ever seen!. I was looing at the lolipop antenna and not sure which polarization or interface to purchase. I am thinking about putting this set-up in a powered glider and or foamy wing, what would you suggest.

Can you please specify your , receiver used to test in this video

which receiver/goggles were you using?

Have you tried the AKK 3W?

anybody got tips for video reciever and rc transmitter directional antennas?

Which antenna would you recommend on a budget? Bang for buck? And also at this stage, what display / goggles would you recommend?

You give a lot of good information, But you may wanna try some decaf, It's like I'm listening at 2.5X speed! If you were to have OSD with RSSI info it would quantify your signal strength.

Does it support Smart Audio?

@RCModelReviews What fpv goggles did you use?

Gotta try this with the new ORQA goggles...

Will this setup work with my 5.8 ghz box goggles ?

Loved the video. Does it play anything but that awful music?..HaHa. Thanks once more for your time and effort.

All 25 of my quads are analog I refuse to switch 🤘😎🤘

Comparing this to an Air Unit instead of the Vista skews the true difference in size between this and DJI digital. We’re you trying to favor analog in this video that you didn’t give a true size comparison?

Every time I see a review of the best analog cam out there I think it's still not as good as a $20 Ant Cam. I may be at ground level but I can literally see ants with it.

OH! And thanks to Brekshit.....hardly ANY gear in our online fpv,uav stores..the last year or so.Analog? You'll have to buy direct from China.👍

So jealous brother, but love my analog and good analog is awesome I mean your brain and eyes can only process so much especially when you're trying not to crash all the time 🤣🤣🤣. Nice channel 👍

It looks just the same as my rush solo but green, that is only 1.6mw

My wife she said to me : I'm a analogue guy!!!… not digital ….(in beginning i not understanding) but to day I understand from your test what she said…. Definitely I'll stick with analogue settings…thanks to save my couple….

well, i cant use that, because in Germany you are only alowed to use 25mw :(

Please open it up and rate the board components

What does somebody need that much power for. I use a solo tank and that's overkill... ps I fly out 20km on a good clear day

So if i wink wink 25 mw is the best setting. All good i only fly analog because im cheap , hell just got skyzone 04x been a box goggle guy for years.

Digital is just too expensive for me. One day perhaps

I do think the osd chip on flight controllers tends to reduce the quality of the feed noticeably also tbh.
