Analog Module Comparison for the HDZero Goggles - (Rapidfire vs Steadview X)

[@BobnoxiousRx]

Excellent man!! These types videos always help out. I had the Cobra X goggles, but they completely died taking out the steadyview module. I got Wildfire after that and have been happy with it. Awesome video!

[@MoeFPV]

Thanks Bob! Damn I didn't even know you COULD remove the module from the cobra x's. I'm just hoping they sort the rapidfire issue out with the HD zeros - right now, I think the steadyview x module is also bugged on the HD zeros and its only using one antenna and not diversity mix 🙄

[@BobnoxiousRx]

@@MoeFPV Lol, yeah you can remove the steadyview module. I just reread my post and realized how it actually read. When my cobra's died the module died too, not from the removal of the module. I used aythix fpv rapidfire in my cobras and compared them to my steadyview... I just never liked the picture the rapidfire module produces and it is way too expensive. I also compared it to my wildfire module on my attitude v6's and honestly the performance wasn't any better for the extra cash. I am looking forward to the HDZero goggs. Should be in the next week or 2!!!

[@rc4x437]

Thanks for the video. Makes me feel better about the steadyview x module. Now just wait the the hdzero goggles.

[@MoeFPV]

I think you made the right choice - also, i believe there is a bug with the steadyview at the moment. It is possible that in this test, my module was only using a SINGLE antenna and not diversity. Which makes these results even more impressive for steadyview

[@Halphbaked210]

Ive heard you remove a pin on the module to get it to work.... heard of this?

[@MoeFPV]

@@Halphbaked210 I can confirm this works. However, it will only give you the appropriate readout in the OSD/module itself but it does nothing for actual RF performance unfortunately. You will get similar results to what you see here

[@CXBFPV]

Nice comparison test Moe! And nice flying!

[@MoeFPV]

Thanks CXB - appreciate ya!

[@johncgibson4720]

I have been using steady view for over a year, and I can testify that the image breakup of it is very graceful.

[@MoeFPV]

I really enjoyed the steadyview module in my cobrax goggles - It was absolutely one of the best I ever had

[@1337plans]

Great videos! Thanks for your help!

[@g_fpv]

Very informative Moe. 🙏 Cool bridge spot too 🤙

[@nmrlab3807]

Thanks for sharing this. I appreciate it man.

[@MoeFPV]

Glad to help - hoping they fix the rolling screen soon

[@rc_fan84]

Awesome comparison. I have the Cobra X and was doubting steadyview. Before the Cobra, I had the Eachine ev800d and with the range and / or penetration no clear upgrade for me. So I was thinking to try the rapid fire module, but after seeing your video..... 🤔 Thanks for sharing. 👍

[@MoeFPV]

Just as a heads up - i just found this out so i may have to do a follow up video but there is a bug with steadview and hd zero goggles at the moment where it is not doing diversity and instead only pulling from one antenna. so these results were actually radpifire vs ONE stubby antenna.. im sure it will be fixed soon but just making you aware

[@madladdan]

Any unicorn magic vrx like these will have issues with rolling screens. Make sure you buy the right camera for the vrx and you won't have a problem.

[@DJMina23]

@@MoeFPV Damn that would be a deal breaker for me regarding the HDZero goggles! Any updates on that?

[@SPIT_FPV]

I just bought the SteadyView X and have been using RapidFire. I feel that RapidFire has a more stable picture overall. I feel like Skyzone handle better if you want to fly further as there is no image rolling. But if I fly close to myself where the reception should be ok the RapidFire doesn't fail. SteadyView has not as crisp image just as I can see in your vid from 1:00. It blinks all the time... This confuse me more than the image rolling. So my vote is for Rapidfire and based on your video it confirms me.

[@saidinesh5]

What about rapidfire module in just diversity mode? I used to have rolling screen on some cameras with rapidfire. Iirc just changing the mode to diversity mode did the trick back then ..

[@MoeFPV]

I really should update this video as firmwares have come out that have greatly improved the performance of the rapidfire module. I will post an update below. Thank you for the comment

[@Timboslicce]

great video. I just got the goggles in today and i have a Fusion module with some very good antenna set up. I think i will make my first FPV video looking at analog performance considering i bought the goggles for analog 🤦‍♂

[@MoeFPV]

Let me know how the fusion module does! I'm hoping they fix the rolling screen on rapidfire soon because it looks absolutely amazing other than that issue. I'm sure you'll love the goggles

[@Timboslicce]

@@MoeFPV it works flawlessly I’m glad to say. No issues at all

[@MoeFPV]

@@Timboslicce I am happy to hear it yet also sad to hear it because now i might have to buy one LOL good reception? did you test outside and behind obstacles? I appreciate the update !

[@DJMina23]

Bro thanks a lot for this video. And thanks for all the comments on this video. I've been looking into upgrading to steadyview x and that definitely makes it look even more appealing. Joshua Bardwell always talks it up anyways but it's good to see this kind of comparison. Also, how do you feel about the HDZero goggles latency with Analog? And why aren't you flying HDZero?

[@MoeFPV]

Glad it was helpful! I might have to think about doing an updated video here though as the rapidfire no longer preforms this way and in my opinion is the best module you can get for the goggles. Fusion being close behind. I would take a look at my more recent video where I compare rapidfire and fusion for an idea as the the analog performance on the HD zero goggles. There is no perceivable latency for me on analog on the HD zero goggles and I am fairly latency sensitive. Let me know if you have any other questions!

[@DJMina23]

@@MoeFPV I see what you mean. Was it a firmware update that fixed rapidfire's problem?

[@SunriseWaterMedia]

Dang. I have a rapid fire module that's been acting strange already, and I just bought those HD zero goggles. I might look into steady view.

[@MoeFPV]

Steadyview looks promising - although i JUST found out there may be a bug with steadview, as well. I believe in this test, i was only using a single antenna despite selecting diversity. Currently, the mix may be broken

[@rc4x437]

They just came out with a fix. I guess we have to cut the RSSI B pin off the module. And it fixes the problems. And that is straight from skyzone

[@МаксимГранатов-з6н]

@@rc4x437 Is this with 3.3 steadymix module?

[@kardady]

thank you

[@aurozappa305]

Just curious how are the Skyzone X box vs the HDZero with Skyzone SteadyView X for range and penetration ?

[@MoeFPV]

sadly i no longer have my skyzone x box goggles but to be honest, i feel as though the cobra x goggles would have preformed better than both of these in this test. those goggles had a great internal module

[@aurozappa305]

@@MoeFPV I need to upgrade my goggles ,and I would love to get the HDZeros but it would come out to almost a 1000 dollars in Canada ... im thinking about buying the Skyzone's they seem like a really good box goggle . but the HDZero looks so damn good 😭

[@bugsy742]

I have the Cobra x box goggles with hd zero add on, got it two days ago and it’s fantastic so far 👍🤝

[@skysailorfpv]

I have the batch 1 and fusion mod. after I updated to the 9.0 I could not fly analog again rolled back to the previous version just need to test again and see what happens.

[@madladdan]

Rolling screen is a camera - vrx issue not a vrx issue. Choose your vrx based on the user interface, the reception and the company support.

[@madladdan]

Then choose the camera that works with the vrx.

[@MoeFPV]

Dan - at least, in this case, the HD zero firmware was causing rolling screen issues on the rapidfire module. They have since fixed this issue and the rolling screen issue has greatly improved. I do understand what you're saying though - thanks for the info

vtx mw? also rapidfire rssi bar at top would be good.

[@MoeFPV]

thank you for the suggestion - i will most likely do this video again because there is a potential bug with steadview X as well as the rapidfire rolling screen. I will make sure to have that displayed as well as the steadview x mix next time

[@alperenozgur]

@@MoeFPV thanks 👍🏻 btw i have almost zero rolling screen with my rapidfire but with orqa goggle 🫣 also i guess rapidfire mode 1 vs 2 differs too.

[@MoeFPV]

@@alperenozgur yeah I'm 99% sure HD zero acknowledged it was because of their integrated deinterlancer and they're working on it. Just super frustrating because I still love to fly my analog quads :( did you avoid the bricking goggle thing I heard about?

[@alperenozgur]

@@MoeFPV haha yea i just removed cover and did the recover boot thing. it was ok.. i find the fact they still deny to talk about their digital VRX promise makes me much more angry.

[@tamilcp]

Hi buddy. I am writing to you because I have a problem with my rapidfire module. I want to go back to a previous version because v1.3.2 and v1.3.3 are not working correctly. THE official website no longer has previous versions available. Possibly you may have v1.2.8 or v1.2.9.......or lower. The latest versions do not show the full signal bar of the patch antenna and it works horribly......thank you and I hope you can help me.

[@KidCe.]

you said you were coming from corbaX and cant see thaat big off a difference? bro i tested the hdzero goggles from a friend today with analog and somehow it looks like its HD and hypersmooth. My cobraX feel like 20fps and god damn bad colors and contrast, cant see any banches of trees, while on the hdzero goggles it feels so buttery smooth and i can easily see branches. Already switched my vrx on the cobra to TBS fusion which helped with breakup but image is still washed out. Im starting to wonder if i got unlucky with the lcd panel in my goggles and bad quality one. really dont want to invest into digital yet, as i know there is alot more to get out of analog...

[@kaskalo2]

Speedybee rules both of these.

[@thomasnagel3612]

That's why Clearview googel receiver is the best never rolling screen better RF performance.
