I see so many people concerned with the quality of footage after the flight, but for me having the amazing live view quality of the Goggles 2 is the best part of flying. For FPV I really find the best experience is while you're actually flying and in control, not watching the footage afterwards. The detail and clarity in the Goggles 2 is insane!

Thanks a ton Joshua. You're still the best with giving the right amount of information on a product. That is a big step in HD fpv. And if I have extra money in the future I probably will switch to O3. But for now my V1 goggles are plenty for me. I don't really need extra resolution, normally I zoom out the picture in them because of very big FOV, so that leaves only slightly better signal quality and it is really not enough for me to start changing my gear to new system ).

@KOrnhOliO1 Жыл бұрын

I did that when I first started flying DJI digital. But, after a while of getting used to something like a 70% or 80% of the full FOV, I have stepped the screen size (FOV) up to 90% now, and I'm soon gonna try 100% again. Try slowly moving that FOV up. It's sure immersive! :)

@KOrnhOliO1 Жыл бұрын

Bro, Black Friday is in a few days. I suggest you go out and find yourself a Caddx Vista or Runcam Link (only the cameras are different) and get flying DJI digital RIGHT AWAY! Try to get a 120fps camera...i.e....not a Polar and not a Nebula Nano V2, and not a Link with the Phoenix camera. Those are all 60fps cameras. They have about 10ms of extra latency. Still very flyable, but get a 120fps to see what the potential is. Go for a Caddx Nebula Pro, Nebula Pro Nano, or a Runcan Link with the Falcon camera. The Wasp camera from Runcam also has 120fps, but no adjustable parameters for saturation, contrast, etc. in the V2 goggles, and it's stuck in 4:3 aspect ratio - So you only get the square 4:3 image (Old CRT TV image size), not an HD rectangular image of 16:9. The most these RETAIL for is $165. That's ALL YOU NEED! Not that much to get flying digital!!! 😁 - AND, you'll not want to fly analog much ever again once you fly digital - IT'S SO DAMN GOOD! 😎🤘

I have the Avata, and it looks like the same setup. Glad there is a screw mount option, but I think most just double-side tape it to the frame anyway (I like screws TBH...) The fit of the camera up front is definitely going to be an issue, especially if frame manufacturers have to redesign for just 3-4mm of extra width. The quality of the Avata camera is pretty decent, so maybe some will use it instead of a GoPro, to save weight. Great review as always!!!!

The IPD adjustment of the goggle got rid of the blurriness I experienced in the v1 &v2 goggles when I had the lens evenly spaced.

The only thing I care about and the only reason I may someday get the new system is the extra range and penetration. The 720 video is good enough for me but you can never have too much range or penetration to ensure that you don't lose your quad.

Sorry if I missed something when you were talking about the antennas on the goggles 2. But the little fold down antennas just pull out and there is a connector inside there.

Hey Joshua, I think a good video for you to make would be to show everyone all the gear you’ve accumulated over the years, and how you organize it all. I’d definitely love to see it, and I know lots of people would too!

Joshua!!! Have you made a video explaining transmission settings for o3? Going from air unit to o3 and gosh, so many settings!!!!!!

@JoshuaBardwell the antennas just pull out of the Goggles 2. Just pull up on them and they come out. Also, the internal antennas are crossed in the center front of the goggles 2. MadsTech has a tear down video of the goggles 2 if you want to see them inside. I can also tell you from experience (I have the avata), it does not play nice with analog on any channel. But I have flown with as many as 4 people on HD using Walksnail, and Caddx systems and using channel 1 is best. But you want to use channel 3 when flying by yourself because it seems it get's more penetration as well as distance.

awesome video as always. Would have liked to hear about compatibility towards the original dji google (v1?) and I think you missed to tell that the new OLED goggle has 2 seperate screens. happy flying keep up the great work :)

There is no compatibility with V1 goggle at all.
