Foxeer Wildfire $90 / True-D $65 / RapidFire $150 | YOU DECIDE!

[@3eggerfpv397]

Agree with shenanigan, wild fire is a little sharper, and a bit clearer, but the rapid fire has the least amount of break-up of the bunch. My second choice would be the Owlrc. @$90 dollars, that would be my overall choice!

[@JoshuaBardwell]

The RapidFire GoPro was slightly misaligned. The RapidFire image is not blurry in real life. Unfortunately, this is one of the challenges with recording the goggle screens. Please focus on RF signal quality and image breakup, not image quality, which is difficult to capture with the camera.

The foxeer module pairs seamlessly to the DJI goggles with the BDI digidapter mod, no overhanging plastic from the cover. Its perfect for casual analog flying for those who went digital.

[@licensetodrive9930]

RapidFire - sure it costs a bomb compared to the others, but when I upgraded from my Fat Shark antenna diversity module (which served me well for a good 2+ years) there was no way I was picking any other module, because if I bought something cheaper I'd forever be looking at the RapidFire. Sometimes you just have to shell out for the best - Crossfire is expensive, but I don't see many arguments with that one.

[@scootroter4859]

Yeah, I can't believe these other guys debating the results! it isn't really close IMO. Rapidfire is quite a bit better. I'm wondering if these other guys forgot to wear their glasses! lol

[@parker1ray]

Express LRS is a prime example of how good does not to cost a ton. I do have a Rapidfire on the way because as stated earlier, I had the wild fire in the goggles for literally only about and hour testing and setting them up and I turned it off for dinner and then attempted to restart after dinner. That sucker was cold and black. Race Day Quads is going to be replacing it free of charge though. Race Day Quads is one bad ass company who stands behind their customers unlike BangMeGood! I have a quad on order from them from around the first of November and they keep telling me that "It on way, no you worry friend!" I will be buying from in the states from now on. I am finding that prices from them are only slightly lower and in some cases more expensive.

I like you saying which one you like, that’s how we learn things today :)

[@clean1566]

Thanks JB, for continuing analog content. It does still have its place, for now. Maybe not for people who started recently(bought dji). There are a lot of us invested in analog, who haven't been able to transition to digital. I'm slowly transitioning over, and it's due to sharkbyte/HDZero, because the I'm able to use my $400 HD3's, and incrementally go digital. My money, or lack there of, is betting on HDZero. Pretty happy with my $300 transition to digital so far.

[@StacemanFPV]

Personally, I thought the true-D 4.0 did the best. I don't have a dog in this fight. I use a LaForge diversity setup :D

[@itsme-fr5fr]

Agreed

[@Dav2112]

True D 4 was definitely holding onto the signal better than the Wildfire. I'm still running the True D 3 in my goggles, I do want to upgrade it soon though.

[@MUNKYFPV]

STACEY ABSHIRE I actually just switched to rapidfire from true d and have been completely underwhelmed and feel like I’m struggling to get signal as good as I did with true d. I completely lost signal quite close to me the first time I tried it, since then there are occasions where it does seem good but I think I’m going to go back to true d for most flying, rapidfire might be better at holding signal at extreme end of range but seems to glitch out more closer to me.

[@StacemanFPV]

@@MUNKYFPV Interesting...I'll be sticking with my Laforge for the foreseeable future. It functions just fine for my needs

[@DroneShotFPV]

I thought so also. I FOREVER ran a True-D. I had the 2.x versions, then upgraded when 3.4 or 3.5 came out (bought a new module) and was absolutely happy with it. Then for WHATEVER reason I watched some particular video and liked the LaForge V2 results. RMRC had a sale like the next day, and the LaForge V2 Main module and Diversity were like $60 all together. I was like "sold"! Looking at this, I don't know why I ever sold, I loved my True-D back then, so the 4.0 may just be my next purchase!

[@RockTouching]

I wish more reviewers would mention that Clearview Groundstation never messes up sync reconstruction. No shifting of the screen, no screen rolling, ever. It just goes gradually to static. At least I wished I knew before buying Laforge and Rapidfire receivers..

[@charlessampson6389]

In my mind, the CV groundstation is still the best performing video receiver. Whether the cost and inconvenience vs a goggle module are justified is certainly debatable, but in terms of video performance its a beast

Another tip with the finder. Sometimes the image is perfectly clear 300 degrees and unclear/noisy 60 degrees or less. In that case you know the vtx/craft is 180 degrees/opposite of the noisy direction. So sometimes you shouldn't look for the clearest image but the most noisy.

[@scootroter4859]

I don't own any of these, so I'm not partial. Kinda obvious from watching, isn't it? Rapidfire is far and away the best. If I was to give a 1 to 10 score....The Rapidfire would be a 10, and the closest module to it would "maybe if I'm being generous" be a 7. Did you actually think it was close? If so, go watch it again... ;)

[@JoseSierradeLeste]

@@scootroter4859 yeah, but I agree with his position on keeping his opinion to himself: there's more to it than just how it performed. That "7" you awarded cost half as much as the Rapidfire module... And 7 might be good enough (especially if you don't spend a lot of time flying in parking garages, amiright?) If he clearly endorses one over the other, that kinda takes away from his "impartial tester" stance, especially as he has affiliate links. Personally I appreciate that he stays impartial and presents the tests, even if he sometimes lets his opinions leak in (read between the lines, so to speak, and you'll know what he prefers.)

Maybe it would be possible (although I know it would be really time-consuming) to go through the first set, Wildfire vs Rapidfire, and total up how many seconds of USABLE image was on each one, during the test...

And if this were done on multiple flights with the same modules, it would provide an average that could determine real, actual differences in performance.

If they don’t like what you say then they can start their own channel and do their own reviews. People watch you to learn things they don’t know or to grow their knowledge on things that they are already familiar with. There’s no point in a review of at the end you just say “ well there you go, you come up with your own conclusions “. What’s the point of watching your stuff.

You really can't judge image quality from a GoPro stuck in a screen. There are too many variables that are impossible to control, no matter how hard I try. You should use these results to judge the breakup and signal quality only.

It's not the module that is making it blurry it's how the camrea view's the screen hence why every module tested on that set of goggles has the same blurry look to it. Like j.b. said this test is strictly to show how much breakup you get and has nothing to do with image quality

Josh I have a noob question (tech noob that is). So after your reviews of all those I retained a few things. Rf is a huge plus to keep a clear video signal, functionalities as such presented with this Wilfire are a good thing for any user, even if learning curve and needs for those functions can vary among pilots. And of course the price. So as a noob, I want easy to use but with enough functions to help me get the best of it and of course crisp image even far away or behind structures.... The comparative here show clearly that the Rapid fire keeps the best video feed anywhere, but just by maybe 5m further than the wildfire. Is it a huge improvement for a beginner pilot? Because the price range between this emidels Are a huge thing for a beginner. So far I'd say best seems to be Rapid-fire but ouch for the price.... Then comes the Tru-D X but I've read that the can damage your Dominator HD3...... (screen flash and dead screens etc) so....... Is it safe? I just got my HD3 new for a bargain price at 250$ but dropping again a another 150$ for rapid fire so I can have a good receiver? For sure, I can grow with Rapid fire and not have to replace it when I start flying further away. Damn.... Hard to decide at my level..... Best gear or cheaper one but I'll have to later get a better one.... Feel free to give me your opinion guys, it'll be appreciated 🤯

One thing to keep in mind is that this test is intentionally in the worst possible environment: 25 mW with lots of concrete walls. At 800 mW in clear space, the difference between RF and other modules would be exaggerated, but you would have to fly a lot further to demonstrate it. Frankly, I think any of these modules would be fine for a beginner.

I think Joshua from the past wanted to say "if Wildfire is for you" not TBS fusion.

[@DennisSattler]

If I already didn't have the Rapidfire, I would be buying the Wildfire because it definitely had a clearer image. I think a test at a hundred milliwatts would have been a good idea.

[@JoshuaBardwell]

The Rapidfire is only blurry because the GoPro was slightly misaligned. The image is not blurry in real life. But I figured you could still tell which one was having better reception.

[@YKStagram]

The right screen seems to be not in focus or, not as clean as the left one...

[@locksnpropsfpv7255]

The colours look really nice in the wildfire could be a a dirty lense ext but the ones on the right hand hand seem blurry .

[@fpvandgasrc4321]

Signal goes to Rapid Fire but the clarity on the picture to the left is a lot cleaner and it looks almost like the picture on the right is out of focus what's the reasoning behind that

[@flaparoundfpv8632]

Will you be reviewing the Runcam Peoenix 2 vs the micro eagle and falkor? The Eagle is being discontinued.

[@RADERFPV]

Can the true-d 4.0 firmware be installed on older true-d modules, such as those that shipped with version 3.6 a couple years back? Thank you.

[@halflife82]

RADER FPV I don’t think so. I tried on my 3.6 but couldn’t get it to work with anything greater than 3.9. I just switched to Rapidfire last week as multipath was killing me at indoor racing.

[@RADERFPV]

@@halflife82 - Thank you so much. You just saved me some heartache in trying, much appreciated.

[@TERBANGFPV]

Did foxeer bought the OWLRX and developed it ahead? The menu is the same with owl.

[@JoshuaBardwell]

I also noticed the similarity.

[@TERBANGFPV]

@@JoshuaBardwell i.dunno why but i dont see any better reception with wildfire. The i have the early version of owlrx that still had that tiny cap. After removing it perform way better. Now im with the latest fw for my owl. Still rapidfire is the king. But owl is awesome for the price.

[@erikaspausen]

I dont know but the feed on the right is always a bit more blurry then the one on the left

[@donphobos]

How durable is the little joystick on this module? Should I consider a module with the traditional 3-button layout instead? Any news on how durable the True-D X and 4.0 scroll wheel is, please?

[@JoshuaBardwell]

Furious FPV ships the modules with a spare scroll wheel in the package so that seems to indicate to me that they expect it to wear out. Joystick and buttons are pretty durable most of the time.

[@86mld]

I know this video is older. But I having trouble out of my foxeer wildfire. How do you do a firmware update I've look all over the internet please help

[@dirtfpv]

Did you swap the module between the two goggles so that you could see if there was an issue with the way the camera was pointed at the always-blurrier side? Would be interesting to see if the wildfire on the other set of goggles is also blurry.

[@JoshuaBardwell]

The blurriness is 100% definitely NOT the module. The module cannot have this effect on the signal.

[@Dav2112]

Nice testing man, I'm in the market for a new module, it's definitely a toss up between the Fusion or Rapidfire, leaning more towards the Fusion for the Crossfire connectivity.

[@sleepyheadfpv1507]

Fusion 100 percent.

[@Dav2112]

@@sleepyheadfpv1507, like I said it's definitely the one I'm leaning towards because of the Crossfire connectivity stuff.

[@sleepyheadfpv1507]

Like I said.....100 percent Fusion. For that “lean” alone....rapid fire is no different in performance. Besides a little less

[@carlosmartinezlopez3991]

Hey Joshua. Could you do a video comparing the taranis x9d plus se that you have and the tbs tango ?

Do you have an email ? Thanks again :)

[@RossSmith-o5z]

The wildfire has a bit sharper and clearer picture when in full signal
