nice to see the hobby advancing, but it amazes me how heated some get over DJI vs Shark Byte. Interested to see how this progresses in the coming year. Like you said, these are just toys that help us have fun and escape from the daily drama....no need to bring drama into the hobby. Thanks for the "Family Friendly" channel!

[@jordigrau83]

the difference between adults and children is the price of their toys

[@jameslaraia]

The indoor flight is so much nicer holy moly 😳

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Likely why my bias kicks in, I fly daily in the house, recent days, this one has been my pre-bed flyer.

[@jcfpv3454]

This really opens so many doors for us I remember the first analog cameras to what they are now wow.

[@CapungPlastik]

The fact that Shark Byte could be mounted in a whoop is quite a game changer and with combination of using "already had" goggle to most of people giving more added value. I guess it's true that this could be Beginning of the End of Analog :)

[@2warhammer34]

I am extremely happy with the system. The price point is great for those with a significant investment in analog. Like you I bought the HDO2 with the expectation of using it with the Shark byte system. No real complaints.

[@KrotowX]

Seems a reason why purchase HDO2 at all. From other side I'm curious about how SB receiver can fit on Skyzone SKY04X.

[@kkaaii177]

I really like seeing you use your LED gates in your review. It does a good job at showing well the camera will do in darker environments.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Its a nice addition for sure. Do you fly led gates?

[@kwadkrazy6078]

You deserve the Shark Byte system! Thank you DumbThumbs XD

[@Lupinixx]

It's amazing that such a small board can pack this HD footage. For image quality the DJI is just better, but can't beat the small and light board fatshark made. Amazing for those whoop sized quads!

[@MCsCreations]

Awesome flying, Nick! 😃 You know what? I'm starting to like this system! 😂 I hope some company makes a better camera soon! Great review, as always! 😊 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@hrhodes2768]

I'm pleased that fatshark has made the shark byte camera and transmitter technology non-proprietary much better than DJI

[@echobeefpv8530]

I've been waiting for this review !! Excellent work Nick, really gave a good look at this product. My opinion is I'll NEVER buy a DJI product, so I'm really excited to see this. Version 1 of this , I'll wait , and see how it's progressing, but I have a lot more respect for Fatshark's efforts to bring digital to us. Before everyone starts bashing me, remember, it's an opinion. You buy what you want, I'll buy what I want. DJI will get along just fine without me. As for the footage, I would have to see it in the goggles, KZbin is just too hard on HD footage.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

YES! The experience in the goggles is better in my opinion, but this really hard to translate in a video format.

[@Khan-hd5vn]

did DJI kill you father or something ?

[@namr2000]

Honestly, the number of people hating on this system is kind of shocking. I think this looks like a really promising option! Especially because it can be used on whoops.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

At least here the comments have been pretty reasonable, including those that don't like what they see or don't think its for them. I appreciate that. I have read and heard about a fair bit of negativity.

[@KernsJW]

Great review, thanks for not comparing to DJI and instead understanding the aim of the product and the cost to all of us real people that we have to deal with when being part of this hobby.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Not a problem. Having something so different and new on the market is exciting. I am hopeful this encourages others to enter the market as well as push the development of all fpv platforms forward.

[@sjoervanderploeg4340]

[@MeGuess_Adventures]

Well here I am 3 years later finding out my dad has a old shark bite system sitting on the bench since he over a year ago upgraded to the hdzero goggles and i'm still flying analog. He forgot he had it but is now shipping it to me to try out. Thanks for the video. Its most definitely better then what i'm using. Hoping to pair it to a new whoop board and also the new freestyle v2 system. Even your old videos still helping us out! Thanks again.

Looks like a win for whoops. I think I'll wait for more camera options before pulling the trigger on this. Great review 👏

[@GregQuillen]

Yea I want to ask foxeer about their digital. A Hebrew shark byte video had it

[@WSNFPV]

Yeah, OSD in all shark byte videos is cristal clear, but the whole image not perfect. I think better cameras can improve situation significantly!

[@uavtech]

Bagger on a riding mower is like a leaf vacuum. Works like a charm.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Our rider threw a rod or something. It was going to cost $500+ to repair and its 12 years old. Our 15 year old had been borrowing a neighbors pusher mower. I asked him if he preferred the pusher or rider, he wanted a pusher. He might be regretting that now. 😂

[@Mellowdark17]

Sweet. Looks really good in the house and better than I expected in the dark.

[@Desert-edDave]

Any amount of competition with a monopoly (DJI) can only be a good thing, pricing is definitely better and we, the consumers can only benefit from Shark Byte's existence can only be a good thing and hopefully a sign of more good to come! I'm personally quite excited about this whoop-size board and seeing it on a 75mm 2s build. Thanks!

[@t0tobi]

Hmm, this is certainly the most useful video about this system on youtube so far. And its the first one that shows a use case where it can do something better then DJI. This Whoop Board is really interesting.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Thank you. I appreciate the compliment. The two options others that have come up with that I think is also interesting and maybe something that could be done in short order is to separate OSD from the recording, or have the ability to disable it and another to add onboard recording to have the best possible recording.

[@clean1566]

90% of my flying will be a King Kong ET115, and the whoop board is the reason I'll go this route. That, and I also have HD3's, and on Social Security, I'm not starting over with DJI. But it's the whoop board that's won me over. Just need to be able to see those branches and power lines better, and Shark Byte seems to do it well enough. Not DJI quality, but half again better than analog. Thanks for the video!

[@RADERFPV]

Gotta be honest Nick, I'm not too sure about this. When I first started seeing footage of it, I was really impressed initially. But the more footage I see, the less impressed I am. It does look better than anolog, but honestly not by that much. It seems to do better indoors than outside, likely the camera. I know, I know, I need to see it in the goggles to really get a feel for it. But in all fairness, that's not needed for the DJI footage that's out there, it all looks good, goggles or youtube. I do like that we're getting away from analog though, and I think this is a great option for whoop and toothpick pilots. For larger quads or a more polished experience, well, we know what folks should get for that, lol ;)

[@sleepingbearffg5008]

Hey brother💪💪👊👊 I think same line of thought. But never had fataharks..Box to DJI for me. But when used analog adapter on DJI I personally thought this isn't bad... allot better than box. So for cost.. I think great option looks like can see scraggle? If so then that's big.. tree cruises are fun! Range check needed ??

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Sure, I don't think it has that desired GoPro esq look to it and I do think its not as likely to get those flying primarily 5inch quads. I wonder how it would look at 4:3, which could be coming sometime soon....or that is the word on the street. I am hopefull with time we see camera improvements as well as firmware improvements. The tighter "competition" comes the tougher the decision but better for everyone using one system or another.

[@badipaddress]

Totally agree. I was initially impressed, some footages are really good (some more than others) but... 1) it's better than analog, but no SO MUCH. 2) DJI, from what I saw on YT, is on another planet. Still, it is remarkable that we can have a digital fpv system on a 75mm 2s whoop.

[@MrJoris666]

I know what you mean, but honestly I had the same feeling with the DJI system. Much better than analogue, but I didn't have that wow amazing feeling like you see in some YT videos.

[@bwasfpv]

[@allennickles3970]

Its Awesome you got one! Thanks to Dumbthumbs I think it looks good and I'm sure more tweaks will be done over time. Plus more cameras will come out. The biggest thing is the whoop board!😀 Good job Nick

[@DoRC]

This is the first time I've seen shark bite with indoor video. It really shows how good this system can be. The limiting factor is definitely the camera because outdoors it looks like garbage.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

I am hopeful we will see new cameras shortly, as to how quickly they will come to the channel idk.

Will it hopefully get better over time? Yup I'm very happy this is on your channel as I really don't like watching my videos and invite other's opinions in a fair non bias way.

[@TMacFPV]

Well done Nick👍

[@jackmaddox4960]

I'm glad this is out, it's definitely gonna be my X-mas present to myself! DJI's image quality is superior, but I can stick this on my existing goggles, stick the board in my Armattan Tadpole, and Bob's yer uncle, as Andy would say..! Then, with the same goggles, I can easily fly all my analog whoops. Yay! Plus, I just feel good supporting a company that's contributed massively to this hobby's very existence from the beginning, and supported it and the community for years, in numerous ways. No, still no power button (grrr), but their products are good and their customer service is second to none!

[@paco_rider]

I think fatshark is goin in the right direction

[@MrJoris666]

I didn't expect this, I thought that Shark Byte was dead, but it's definitely a step forward for micro's and whoops. That inside flight video of Man Cave Hobbies looked really good. Bu I'll wait for the final version and some good camera options.

Amazing. HD on whoops and it can only get better from here.

[@KrotowX]

For freestyle pilots who doesn't want to mess with DJI by various reasons, SharkByte seems worth to try. Especially ones who have HD resolution googles with OLED and LCOS screens and HDMI input should achieve noticeably good results. You actually convinced me to try SharkByte too. Would like to try that HD whoop build :)

[@kevinmahoney9205]

I've watched lots of reviews of Shark Byte and this is the first I've seen of the whoop board. Thanks Nick. I like what I see with this system. By the time I can afford it, I'm sure lots of improvements will have been made.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

I have been told they are actively working on improvements, I think mainly on the firmware side.

[@DJDevine]

The system is amazing! The picture quality and almost flawless transmission and reception! I’m going to be a late buyer but I will be after winter👍 the flexibility of any compatible goggles and an open source camera incentive for innovation!

[@NickBurnsFPV]

I hope we see even more developments coming soon.

[@attackemartin]

I would like to know more about signal penetration on same mw output compared to analog and dji. Because that signal penetration is what keeps me going with DJI. Image quality is secondary, and I can imagine when Foxeer makes a Shark Byte cam, that would boost image quality for it through the roof

[@jackdowns6122]

The reason DJI has such better penetration isnt that the signal magically has less noise, its that the goggles have a self healing telemetry link that can ask for a retransmission of lost bit

[@bashka_if6525]

​@@jackdowns6122 that is DJI does not have better penetration but it forces you to wait for better image and only god knows where actually you copter is in the meantime ?

[@attackemartin]

@@jackdowns6122 well that doesn't change the fact that I want to know the signal penetration of Shark Byte. No matter how DJI is doing their stuff. I can fly with flyable, non stuttering image, where I would be in snow with analog. For me it's just about the performance, I don't quite care which company releases what, it just has to be the best for my usage, since I do that for a living (I'm one of that 1% Nick talked about :D). So in short: would love to see some examples or hear insights about overall signal penetration. Better than Analog? Worse? I'm open minded about Shark Byte at the moment, so I'm just collecting informations about it :) will test it myself soon(ish)

[@BmoreVisuals]

@@attackemartin worse than analog, i used the sharkbyte and rapid fire in the same location and my rapid fire module performed better. The break up from the sharkbyte system gets really bad when you start going behind objects, with analog you can see through the break up ans have a chance to get out of it. Unfortunately with shark byte it freezes and glitches, its a common thumbnail people are using for sharkbyte vids.

[@andreisopon4615]

@@bashka_if6525 oh, I don't know that (about how DJI gets such pseudo penetration). Nice!

Excellent review as always. I feel like now interested any person might be in this depends on what they fly (size). As someone who doesn't get many wind-free days and not a big enough house to actually fly in, I personally stick to 3 inch and bigger (at least for now). As in regards to price, I'm kinda torn. I think the price is alright for someone who already owns a decent pair of goggles, however if you do not the price is going to end up similar to DJI as for initial buy, anyway. Please do correct me if I'm wrong. In my current situation (and as someone who already owns DJI and my old goggles are the ev800D's) I am happy I picked DJI. That said, I am looking forward to Orqa's open-source digital FPV system too.

I think the beginning of the end of analog was in fpv terms eons ago ( 12 -18 months). Committed $$ already to DJI so I will wait for DJI/Caddx to a make something smaller. BTW: Looks good.

[@keithcarpenter5254]

You don't have to register to get it to work! That's the best thing. You buy,you fly. The way it should be.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

This is also true. Thanks for that.

[@nm90fpv97]

Great video again nick! It will be fairly interesting when there are more camera options. Maybe a great way to step up to HD even I just ordered some ev300o googles. Looking forward to see more ...

[@TheTryzna]

Im definetly geting SB during spring as i fly small quads mainly where even naked vista is bit heavy and dont want to get DJI just for five inches as i dont fly em that often.

[@kmarlow1]

Even though I have dji and analog I still want shark byte too! Definitely benefits of each it seems. Plus I have a problem and just want to buy everything fpv related! I think it's super exciting. Anything new and innovative is good for the hobby in my opinion. Great video! First I've seen of the smaller board.

[@factoryelite]

Buy buy buy!

[@tonymorgan328]

Me too, getting rather expensive but can't seem to help it!

[@antixfpv6653]

Great review 👍🏻....looking forward to its development for those of us who love flying micros & whoops. Thank you 🙏

[@CarbonGlassMan]

If this is $350 this is a great digital option.

[@electroddxful]

Hey Nick I really like that built. 👍👍👍👍👍

[@Gosuminer]

I want Shark Byte so much to succeed and it looks very competitive in relation to analog FPV. But if money and weight are not on the top of your priority list DJI delivers way higher image quality and range.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

We shall see how it develops. Much smaller company with a greater focus could help with development agility. Hope

[@tried2live]

I'm happy to see an alternative to DJI, and I think the picture quality looks fairly similar to that of the Nebula. The part of the Shark Byte I think should be significantly improved is the snow-like pixelization when the signal gets low. I'd love to see better algorithms for what actually gets output to the display when there is picture data missing. Maybe it doesn't have the processing power to do it, but if data is missing from a certain pixel, why not take the data from adjacent pixels and copy it into the missing portions? Kind of like the video upscaling functionality of a lot of TVs. Or at the very least.... If data is missing, don't have the default pixel color be bright white. Make it black, or dark gray, or any other color that isn't a super bright beacon of failed reception!

[@NickBurnsFPV]

I would not be surprised if we see a change similar to what your thinking. My understanding is the VRx hardware is final but software is moving forward with changes on both the VRx and VTx.

[@sixtofive]

I'm still really happy flying with my fxt viper goggles, and the option to integrate through hdmi input has me interested. For that matter, being able to sit down in certain environments with a laptop to use as your flying interface that friends could watch along with you while you fly could be fun. I'm definitely glad to see the whoop style board as an option for the vtx. I could see 3 & 4" builds really taking advantage of that.

[@piefpv3233]

glad to see digital on a micro. I've seen that DJI goes further but I much prefer one latency of the sharkbyte. now if only they will make a box goggle set with hdmi input for my glasses i'll be a customer (currently FS Scout owner)

[@kurtzFPV]

I'm hoping it will work with ftx vipers. I love mine, and they are excellent for glasses. Unfortunately they are only 480p, though viper could make an upgraded screen. Eachine goggles v2 fit some glasses and I think they are 1080. Both goggles have hdmi in

[@spartan-fpv6936]

Gday Nick, wow you got a shark bite system to review, well done not comparing it to dji like everyone else has, mate i love what im seeing so far for micros and whoops, fatshark will refine it and make it even better i cant wait to hopefully get one, quick tip: use the lawnmower to rake the leaves!! more time to fly that way lol, awsome work and great review mate.👍🛸

[@NickBurnsFPV]

I suspect your lawn mower use will need a mulching blade. We started the fire pit this morning and using that to supplement the job.

[@spartan-fpv6936]

@@NickBurnsFPV Yes mate it has mulching blades then we spread it in the garden/veggie beds and work it in for the next spring/summer Nick.👍🛸

[@helmuthuneke1775]

don't have the money to by a Dji system, and what turns me down as a guy who repair and fixing my quads Dji is great but boring, Plug and play, and you got to register eeeww ... l love to see another competitor making for more choices like on the Analog market. great review bro

[@NickBurnsFPV]

competition is good!, Even if we don't "like" the competition.

[@charleswarwick4849]

I feel like the dji definitely has an edge on image quality (hopefully new cameras And firmwares will help), but the fact that the fatshark digital can fit in a 75mm on the first iteration is pretty encouraging. Hopefully subsequent versions will be even smaller since I feel like the dji isn't particularly viable for fun flying sub 2.5"-3".

[@NickBurnsFPV]

In a way, or the back of my mind, I feel like FatShark had to get something out before much more of the market moved into the DJI garden. I don't think this was hurried, but I also feel like we will see firmware changes/improvements very soon.

[@SimonMain]

Uff! Next Level🤩🔥💯

[@SKIDOOSH]

Always appreciate your perspective.

[@RCRitterFPV]

thank you for a very fair report of your experience. I value your experience
