Depends on the compatibility with my existing hardware/planned future builds, battery life and range IRL (not as reported, since that's never accurate) and cross-brand compatibility. Since I build, my stuff is never the same from drone to drone. Also... for that same price, you can easily pick up a "Refreshed" fat shark or similar from the rain forest online merchant YT doesn't allow named, so it would be a comparison there between a known good product and a new contender. They would have to offer enough more than the old one for me to justify it. I do applaud the price, though, as this puts it in the affordable realm of a lot more people vs the average 3x this price that I see on other brands. Edit: by existing hardware, I mean components like chargers/batteries/controllers I already have from other RC hobbies besides drones. But... as a new user, I'd still want to know I can use it on any future ones I own/build. At least for a few years. I hate buying stuff that's outdated/unusable 6 months later. Edit 2: Oh, except it's not compatible with anything, even the camera modules we might have already, so the actual entry price is $379.99... (Can't just plug in an existing starvis module to their tx module or anything, which also limits you to ONLY using their cameras. Closed system.)

HELL NO! WALKSNAIL HAS PROBLEMS MAKING GOOD QUALITY PRODUCTS. They're 💩💩💩💯💯💯⬇️⬇️the🚽🚽

$310 Aussie for anyone wondering

Too bad I can't combine them with those 200 USD *color* night vision systems because that would wild af

​@@russellzauner what system is that?

Thanks so much mate. Honestly this is the most passionate I've felt about sharing FPV in probably the last 5 years. I've got so much to share and show people cool stuff. What part keeps breaking on your gear?

@@UAVfutures My need to drive somewhere is a large part of the cost. I also need batteries, my bag and GoPro both broke. It all just adds up. No worries at all though. I'll be back in the air eventually. I'm more hyped to see you having a good time talking about new gear.

Say what you want failsnail and anything else don’t compare to DJI, oh and I built 90% of MY drones with 03…..

​@@LovesM855A1oh of course gotta be failsnail right. And you have all the money for o3 interesting how much tho...

@@LovesM855A1if you like your information and data going to China keep using Dji … lol why do you think they’re banning DJi it’s not because they’re a stand up company ….

Cool goggle but not close to some goggles 2 and a 03 unit worth the money

They do make a very compelling point at $199. Personally on my craft I actually prefer caddx over DJI. I also like the smaller air units caddx walk snail offer. Great for little micro rippers

Welcome back! you still flying?

@@rafaelnieto9470 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Yeah brother. Where you fly at?

I'm one of the U.S. pilots. Bryan, Texas

Sorry for your loss. Where they new at the time?

@@UAVfutures Sitting in a cabinet in my garage.

What antennas would you choose?

@@UAVfutures my own! For mid|long range a good set of helicals or cross-hairs, for bando|freestyle I would first try the stock antennas, cheers mate!

I'll buy only when teardown video is available and diy sma ports are added

I am sure Ian will be along with a teardown shortly. It needs modding for certain but might even make me go digital!

I agree. BUT I really did enjoy the stock reception I got. Would you switch a patch or something else?

@@UAVfutures Yes i want to switch from omni to patch and back depending on conditions i'm flying.

You another team pilot for them?

@@UAVfutures yep, from California USA🤘🏻 Been a fan of yours and a sub since I started flying in 2018, glad your back Stu 💪🏻

THIS IS THE 3RD COMMENT on that shirt lol. Do you have a shirt? I got mine from risingsunfpv in aus

@UAVfutures yes, I have a hellfirefpv team shirt for sure. @DemonsFPV the founder of the hellfirefpv team asked Zak from risingsunfpv to make us a shirt for people to buy. He did an amazing job of the shirt. We are glad you like the shirt.

It’s too bad they made these when people are still waiting for them to figure out/fix/send out replacements for the goggles X… how is there so many new things from them but yet they have had my brothers goggles x longer than he ever flew with them.. been over 3 months and they haven’t fixed them to send back nor update him on when he will have them sent back to him. Bummer because I love walksnail..

Great point. I do have a set of those but the difference between those goggles and these ones is night and day. I've got a review on them here too. I would like to try the real hd zero goggles though.

$128 for analog vtx and decent goggles vs $300 for walksnail. Still not there but close.

@@siggins44you can get a whole walksnail quad for under 300

did you like the aomways?

what other components are on the list so far?

@@UAVfutures i had the emax hawk but but after your latest kit video im just buying what you recommended!

what drone do you fly it on?

@UAVfutures I fly the DJI Avata 2. My needs are long flight time, precise control (no swoopy doupy stuff for me), and head tracking. Typically, I am inspecting outdoor plumbing, farm structures (roofs, fencing, etc), and electrical lines. So far, this has been the best solution. Ideally, I would like to build my own, but I have been unable to find the 'full solution '. Thanks for your videos.

what model or kit would you recommend for the head tracking?

I like their products just need more updates and big fixes from them. Do you fly walksnail?

teh walksnail one?

yeah its hard to change systems once you are invested. i wouldnt swap either if I already spent cash on another system. But this is a great system and an ever better price for a new pilot

would you get them?

@@UAVfutures I got HD Zero goggles recently with the idea of testing walksnail in the future with a module... but this comes in even cheaper... so yeah seems like a no brainer to go with these before investing in a new system fully

Do you have any other gear?

I'll try do a follow up soon

You won't have any fun with this, Cobra X with the Walksnail VRX has very high latency. Yes, it's really sad that glasses don't fit.

@@DanielR8484 Yes thats what I've heard. TBH I'll probably stick with analogue as the steadyview module is pretty darn good.

This is what Steve used to fly. Skyzones with the rx. He's not a racer but never complained about latency. He was new back then though so he may feel differently now. Want me to ask him anything in particular?

@@UAVfutures oh cool. I guess his overall experience with it all. Whats the weight like on the face for example.

I guess for the price they had to cut something out. They don't do all the bells and whistles extra stuff etc. but what they do do is cheap digital FPV that feels great. My video going up today actually filmed inside both these and the cobras

I really don‘t understand people like that. Somebody drops a really nice product with price tag that is greatly lower than anything before. And people immediately complain that there are golden bells and whistles missing… 🤡

@@GrmlMaster not really, for people who are already flying analogue, most of them are flying with at least the cobras. For cheaper than these goggles, they can move on to the walksnail system with the walksnail vrx system and get a better experience. Don't you think due to this, walksnail might lose out on customers who are already flying analogue and want to shift to digital? I believe these are amazing goggles for anyone new to fpv, but for those who fly analog and want to shift? I believe they're better off getting the vrx for way cheaper and, more importantly, versatile system.

@@raps55 From what i have seen, the VRX Receiver alone costs more than the new googles, so for less money you get the receiver plus the goggle-hardware instead of a receiver and an hdmi port. So people can choose what is the better deal for them depending on their hardware. I really don‘t know what‘s to complain about…

I know right. I would have preferred analog in but not sure. Have you used head tracking and fpv

Head tracking is about to get real big in RC planes. I think that's why?

Well there's a couple of countries flying quads and possibly planes that might benefit from head tracking, or at least that's what the cynic in me sees. Right now they fly FPV, but imagine being able to look left and right to spot things of more interest while flying and at a price that is nice and cheap. The people that might bulk buy these are the same ones buying 2.5W and 10W analog vtx. ;)

Do you have a controller yet? Do you pinch or thumb?

if you could get the vtx and cam and goggles for 199 it would be too good to be true

i missed the one on the goggle vid for 2024, just saw that one. I saw some on the drone stop video redcat thingy too. sorry I didnt reply in that one. the comments on that entire video were a little heated. cheers for being here though, appreciate it mate. hows the orcas going?

@@UAVfutures no worries mate would like help with setting up a viewing station for non fpv people to see what is going on from pilots view just a suggestion for future video mate

@@crunchied8 you want help on setting one up etc? did you want it to a tv , or goggles etc? let me know?

@@UAVfutures i am thinking both

Digital builds down to that much?

im going to say no. Like ill try cram some in there, but i think there is not enough room. what about contacts? not the best solution but something

www.patreon.com/uavfutures .... for when you have some : )

@@UAVfutures Lol, well played

he lives 1500 miles away : (

@@UAVfutures we know. Australia is huuuuge.

my pleasure. you going to jump in to digital?

@@UAVfutures Yes! I have just never been able to justify investing such an enormous amount of cash into switching to digital, this really brings into into the more affordable range for me, and I am sure for a lot of others as well :-) Most embarrassingly, both my mate and I are still using our very first goggle purchases from years ago when we started ... remember the Quantum Cyclops V2??? lolololol Now just to convince our wives that 'the time has come' LOL

the hellfire one?

the yellow hawaiian!

imagine if they also had HDMI in as well lol

@@UAVfutures i'd immediately sell my CobraX goggles and buy these instead

That's cheap, the DJI vtx is like $230

​@@wesmagyarbut analog is $15

I dont think its misleading but yes digital does cost more in the vtx side of things, BUT its the antenna, air unit and camera, you could easily spend that on an analog vtx, camera and antenna

@@UAVfutures I have tons of quads with analogue fpv on, most complete all in ones cost £10 to £15 so it is a big difference still. Defo going in the right direction though, I dont race other people but I do fly fast and low through tiny gaps etc making my own race tracks in affect and like a low latency that analogue gives me, never tried digital but from what ive seen the latency is an issue for this sort of flying?

The over the head strap?

@@UAVfutures the way the google puts the pressure on your forehead of the googles 3. Only goggles that don’t hurt my nose.

Cheers brother. And thanks for being in the live stream

like watch one flight with say 3 or 4 ride along goggles?

@@UAVfutures Right

My bad. I watched further and you said moonlight. Sorry 😅

yep, but I also showed a 1s kit at the first part flying around my house with the family. I think its at the start some where

been flying for 8yrs and I've broken less in fact hardly anything at all ever since I switched to walksnail. Flying analog was always a gamble, wait weeks because of weather and other factors only to crash and break a frame or cam or motor.... but was a good learning experince, albeit an expensive one...

Are you crashing a lot?

@@UAVfutures Bardwell says if you're not crashing you're not pushing yourself hard enough ;-)

I was under NDA sorry. I couldn't share any info... Can you return them?

@@UAVfutures That's OK. I would still need to buy the camera and vtx. I haven't the cash for that currently. However it does look an impressive goggle for the money. 👍

Thanks for stopping back by. He lives 1500 miles away. I moved states

@@UAVfutures, I had him in thoughts and was wondering if he's alright , Okay , I understanding !

You talking aud or USD?

When they turn up you are going to have a blast. Did you get an air unit?

​@@UAVfutures I had already ordered the walksnail avatar HD pro kit and was holding out to buy the goggles x because I couldn't stomach the price tag.

if you had those, I dont think you need to switch. save the $$

in my flying, the video, the dvr, my camera face talking, which bit? or a time stamp?

@@UAVfutures I think it is a combination of youtube showing the video, my pc and your flying, when I see a lag/twitch and I rewind that part it disappears, only clear twitches from your controls are left. Sorry for confusion, your friend flies way smoother though.

The "twitchiness" you're seeing is personally why I don't like digital. I call it "blurry", makes me feel dizzy.

I also can't watch iMax movies for the exact same reason.

SOOO many people say this.... You really think so?

@@UAVfutures Jim's accent is much stronger but put you 2 in a room and not say anything, boom Twinzies. Thanks for everything you do for the hobby.

They do I think? but its the gofilm 20. what sort of drone were you thinking?

This right here is so important. I don't know too much about lead times but caddx just update us more. Communicate better

great question. So all digital systems need an reciever and a transmitter. we call the transmitter either the VTX for video transmitter or airunit. The RX or reciever is basically whats built into the goggles we wear. all the digital systems need their own system to intergrate with, no mix and match. This specific system is the walksnal avatar system. So the drone has its own walksnail airunit that only walksnail goggles can decode and recieve. does that make sense?

Stay tuned for tomorrows video... Did you fly one?

@@UAVfutures Yeeees I am looking forward to the Vid. No not yet

And which battery makes the goggles work?
