Thank you Lee. This is the best video I have seen that talks about goggles, analog and digital. No hype no click bate. It is too bad that all of the other youtubers, you know who you are, cannot do what you do. You have me intrigued about Walksnail now. Keep up the honesty, greatness and originality that you bring forth to youtube.

I think you nailed the main talking points. I have analogue goggles, DJI and Walksnail. The Fatshark fit and finish for me has always been terrible and so it still is. I dislike the googles almost with a passion. Second negative for me is that the Walksnail goggles only perform how I want them too when flying in front. DJI trample all over WS when flying how most of us do everyday. That's to say sometimes behind and to the sides. With these being pretty big handicaps you might be forgiven for thinking I have regrets converting 2 of my Quads and spending £900 in the process. Well, no. My complete lack of respect for DJI and their "Apple" walled garden approach and obsolescence driven business plan will most likely see me slowly convert the rest of the fleet. It's annoying that WS got in bed with Fatshark and not Skyzone and the directional flight thing is there. It is obviously going to be different for most everyone else. You can't please all of the people all of the time. My needs are fairly niche on the grander scheme.

I have no option but to stick with analogue. At the current prices it would cost me £2307 to switch over to walk snail. I fly for fun they are literally toys to me (no offence to anyone by this statement just my opinion on my mindset and they way I fly). I couldn't warrant spending that much on a toy (again no offence meant). I totally understand they are so much better visual quality than any analogue system but at over £2k to switch over it's just not a big enough draw. I don't fly fast or far and I don't race and the only time I do "flippy floppy" quad moves is when I crash in full acro with no stabilisation lol. The cost would literally have to halve before I could warrant the expense. Good info and honest review as always. Stay safe Lee.

I have a very old "BUDGET" set of analog goggles. I think they are the lowest cost small goggles you can get. I am getting more active in flying again. I am looking to upgrade my goggles. I need a better fit, picture quality and everything new goggles should have. The EV300"O" goggles are on sale for a good price and they would be a whole lot better than I have now. The Skyzone 04X are on sale for a little over $400.00, Fat Shark is $499.00. I see the cost for digital goggles is $600.00. Yet you need antennas, and a new VTx and camera. So there is another $150ish for the camera/VTx setup and $50.00-$100.00 for the antennas. All said and done, digital would be around $750.00-$800.00. As I am shopping, do I jump to digital and leave my smaller collection of analog camera's, Vtx's on the shelf? I have 8 setups in quads, fixed wing and cars. as of today, 11/26/22, there are a few places with combo deals around $750.00US. Where I fly most, it is pretty flat, very few trees. So wide open country. I should be able to get the best possible picture quality where ever I fly. At the time I write this, it is very close to 3 times the cost of the EV300O goggles, It would be about 1 and a 1/2 the cost of the other analog goggles. Is it worth the extra to jump to digital? Will there be more companies coming out with camera's, VTX's? Will prices go down? Get the EV300O's now and in a year get digital? Jump in now and try not to look back? Oh yeah, almost for got to thank you for this and all the other video's you have. You have saved me so many head aches and broken keyboards from beating them against the desk in a fit of rage. Thanks. Buzz.

I'm a long-range flyier so, at least for now, flying analog only and no with rush to switch or even add digital to my setup. In any case, I decided that, if I ever do that, it won't be anything DJI just because I don't want to be locked into one company. I like to be able to purchase components from various vendors that work together (ELRS for instance) and DJI makes it's own V2 devices incompatible with V1 (via a software lock so the hardware could do that). I'm not blind to the possibilities that digital brings, but I'll wait for something more open to competition, maybe HD Zero.

I think in the summary section you said the most important thing for all of us. We all want to invest in a future proof system which will coop with all important aspects of our hobby. Radio link, video link and great FC software and hardware. We now have elrs, we already have inav, and the last think we miss is HD video which can work with every osd(ardu, inav, pitlab, eagle etc). Another aspect is the range. I like flying aircrafts but i do want to do long range with hd. I would rly like to see an option for higher mw so that i can crank it up and go far like the hack with dji that can hit 1.2W. Lastly i would like to see availability. These days i cant find any dji air units anywhere. Only caddx which have lesser range and i am reluctant to buy. On the other hand i cant get inav osd through and i am thinking of getting WS for that reason. In any way it was a nice video and i hope you will be able to keep up the good work.

I don't get on with wearing goggles, so would love to see them bring out a standalone receiver which I can then connect to a screen of my choice. Standalone receivers seem to get overlooked when it comes to HD. Great to see the system supports Ardupilot displays - my preferred o/s. If they brought out a standalone receiver for the system I would not hesitate to move over to HD - something I really want to do, but not being a goggle user pretty much leaves me with analogue.

Walksnail has said they are doing this - but in the meantime, there is HDMI out so you can attach it to your laptop for display or a dedicated display.

I've been on HDZero for the last 6 months or so and tbh I'm disappointed with the quality. The low latency is great, as is the consistent frame rate but the quality isn't much better than analogue so now I'm thinking Walksnail may be a better solution in pretty much every way.

I will be making more videos on Walksnail in the coming months. I am just waiting for the latest firmware to be released with the new INAV OSD fonts and then I can get some decent video shot.. Stay tuned!

Not from the testing here. The fan speed is set settable. Only issues I've had is that longer eyelashes can brush the lenses...

What I have against DJI is that it is not developed for hobbyists but for consumers that unfortunately put our hobby in danger by doing stupid things and hence DJI has 'fenced' the system (my personal view and opinion), it is for me the reason not to support DJI. Will Walksnail be and stay fully open? If so this might be the upgrade from analog to digital.

I think that many feel the same way. I've looked for an alternative that is easy to use, works well and provides similar ranges to DJI and so far, so good for this.. Lots more testing needed though..

Are the goggles suitable for those of us that have to wear prescription glasses ? For me, if these are not suitable, it would be a total 'deal-breaker'.

They have adjustable diopters on each side suitable for a wide range of corrections.

Supports +2 to - 6. But stereo goggles can still be an issue for those with astigmatism... Happy flying
@deadmoo83 Жыл бұрын
Anecdotally, I have -6 in one eye and -7 in the other and some astigmatism. I just set them both to -6 and it is comfortable for me. I don't fly long range though.

What antennas are you using for long range
@billmangione-smith7534 Жыл бұрын
Honest question - does Lee do long distance?
@Painless360 Жыл бұрын
I can't, flying beyond LOS here in the UK is not legal. But, If I were able to them higher gain antennas and all of the usual tricks would work here, the same as any other system. See my video on 'flying further'. Walksnail have now swapped the lower two antennas in their SKU to patches and switching from circular polarised to a good patch can extend range over 2.5 times..

Living in Australia where the exchange rate is political BS I'll stick to my analogue and use my mavic pro or phantom 4 for images I'll stick with fatshark and all the kit I own is analogue from fms edf jets to drones
