EMAX now has HD ZERO FPV Goggles! Transporter 2 HD - Review

[@ChainsawFPV]

EMax is a great company. My first 2 quads were a TinyHawk and a TinyHawk Freestyle. Cool that they come out with HDZero goggles already.

[@davidfulp3917]

Steve, I want to thank you for taking the time to be captain drone.. your videos have encouraged me to embark one some great drones. I've been flying quads for 10 years. My first big purchase was a mavic air 2 and then a evo 2 pro 6k. Keep up the good work and watching you has been a pleasure. Oh Merry Christmas brother..

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Thank you and Merry Christmas

[@davidfulp3917]

Same to you my fellow drone/ quad pilot..

[@Pavara_Senvidu]

Is the dji fpv drone more stabilized than the dji avata when it 's in the air??

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Nope, opposite

[@Koolaidban]

hi captain. can I use my cheap $10 solder iron to get by . or should i upgrade a bit? can you recommend a good solder to use ? and where to buy and what type. just starting out . total rookie . thanks

[@suisui3544]

What’s your favourite Fpv Drohne kit for beginners?

[@cG-es8mb]

If I have these goggles i have to only get drones that have hd receiver in them in order to fly them?

[@thliaw]

Your review is really useful, I got to know this model has 2 antennas, will the higher end model with 4 antennas Improve coverage distance?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

I'm not familiar with the higher end model, but normally more antennas means better range.

[@raffman4266]

Can you use Analog VTX with the transporter 2 sir?

[@ModernDayTemplar606]

Emax HD Zero and a 5 inch quad is a perfect combination. I’m seriously interested. Thanks Captain for a great detailed review.

[@MrBiaggio89]

Hi, does the range of the emax Transporter 2 HD is significantly worst than the HDZero goggles?

[@ivardeweerd7273]

hello do you think the holy stone hs510 is a good drone? or should i go with another drone

[@daniel.pendzich]

Are you just looking to capture aerial video? Or would you like to get into the FPV hobby with the goggles and transmitters/receivers, lipo batteries and all that? I think the ideal setup for someone getting into FPV would be a Mobula 7 analog whoop, TX16S transmitter, and basic analog Fat Shark box goggles. Sorry, I don't know much about holystone products.

[@ivardeweerd7273]

@@daniel.pendzich no its a gps drone😂😂

[@kingrc6865]

So I have a few drones that I fly with, right now I'm using the Eachine EV300O goggles flying the GEPRC Mark 5. So essentially these goggles should connect right to the Mark 5 since this is analog still right ? I just want to make sure before I go ahead and pre order these

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

The gogges connect to any HD ZERO video system..... not Analog.

[@kingrc6865]

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Yup makes sense Thanks Sir 🙌🏽

[@lasersbee]

2:17... I fixed that problem by ordering a pair of my glasses with a much smaller Frame just to fit my FPV Box Goggles Steve... BTW.. How many NITS is the screen brightness ?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

NITS? It is not listed in the specs. To my eyes it is viewable but it is not super bright outdoors, but still, my eyes seem to have no issue making out items.

[@willrine8614]

Fun video. I’m waiting to launch my DJI mini 3 pro which I’m getting for Christmas. I haven’t flown a drone in 8 years. Keep the videos coming Captain!😃

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

[@singleturbobimmer]

Can this be used for analog aswell or strictly hdzero?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

I only had it working with HD ZERO

[@NATGEOANDSTUFFPaulbrannan]

Great work cap.i teach a bunch if kids fpv and always wanted to give them HD but to expensive.we were donated load of box goggles what they use aswell so they would be used to them.great work.

[@mxracingunlimitedltd7784]

Is it 25mW Max Power for the HDZero VTX in this?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

It is not a high power transmission on the drones, so range is limited to a small park for clear video

[@K_Nasty]

Emax kill8n it again. They are what got me into fpv and most likely what will get me to hd .

[@soumynonareverse7807]

So, for a while now, I've been searching for a drone which is a go between of a race drone like the one in the video and has a long battery life. I've recently seen a video of a Babyhawk 2 with an 18650 Lithium Ion pack with over half an hour flight time. Is there a setup like this that wont break the bank, is both fun to fly with, has a long flight time and which also has some kind of stabilisation features on windy days (assuming you dont fly in a storm) that if you take of to 50m high without steering that it will indeed go 50m above the spot where you took of (or at least almost at that spot)? Also, besides a GoPro/Insta360, do you know a camera that can be mounted underneath the drone so you don't have propellors on your video?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

You may be better off investing in the DJI AVATA which will give you much of what you are looking for. Great for newbies!

[@soumynonareverse7807]

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 sorry for not mentioning but as I live in Europe it has to be under 250g/0.55lbs. That's why I'd hoped for a more Emax like answer. As for how affordable and light they can build there drones.

[@addisonfrancisco9007]

Great review. I don't remember if you answered this in the video, but do you happen to know if the display will attach to the previous box for the analog Transporter 2 goggles? If so, do you know if there will be an option just to purchase the HDZero display standalone? That would be great to eliminate plastic waste for people that already have the analog version.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

It should fit. You'd have to ask EMAX about display availability.

[@thomasparker1789]

What kind of range would be realistic with this drone and goggle pair?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Based on the antennas on the drone and the HD ZERO goggles, the range is probably gonna be half a mile. Better antennas are needed to increase that.

It is very possible.

i think my fatshark scouts that i got specifically because they fit over my glasses would disagree with you, and they are super small compared to the standard transporter2 goggs i had before, as box goggles the form factor and weight is very comparible to the little shoelace goggles with the tiny screens, i love the huge FOV from the scouts, and they fit my glasses perfectly, i can even wiggle them around with the goggles on their is that much space

[@gmivisualsjason3729]

As I too am a glasses wearer I also chose to buy the scouthds. They are a really nice goggle and the mirror design is much better at reducing the size of them. The only issue I have with them is the LCD screen brightness. It's actually quite dark compared to my cobra X image (which can also be adjusted) The trade off however is the additional weight of the vrx and latency. But that said it's a great goggle.... Maybe skyzone will make their own version 1080p screens

Am sorry but this isn’t cheap. The drone and the goggle is over 600 USD. Analog is still cheaper

You can’t come close to comparing analog to digital. Apples and oranges, the intent is to compare dji vs hd zero.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Unfortunately Analog is becoming less and less which means that in the future when a new POPULAR FPV Drone is released, their may no longer be ANALOG options. However, many smaller companies are committed to keeping ANALOG alive, so there will always be ANALOG FPV Drones.

@@rockscaler99 yes we can’t compare but Hdzero isn’t cheap and it’s not directly comparable to DJI. Walksnail is more direct comparable to DJI as it is variable latency system.
