HD Zero FPV Goggles - After 79 Days Of Flying

[@RyanQuellet]

Great video! I recommend using the new sleep shortcut in firmware 9.3.1 - takes 3sec to wake up. It's too bad the foam is flimsy - i highly recommend the skyzone 04x leather foam. Looking forward to more hdzero videos from you 😉

[@Yanshuf812]

Not actually related to this video. I found your channel a couple days ago as I am starting my FPV journey, and I must say you deserve more recognition. Not just in the FPV space, but generally in KZbin. Your videos are incredible, content wise, production wise, literally everything is top notch.

Thanks my dude! Appreciate that support a ton ✌️

Right? DJI G2 are awful.

[@randall8686]

Most comfortable goggle for me. Prefer the V2's for OSD etc but comfort the G2's are awesome for me

Same to you my friend!!

[@GustoyleFPV]

hey, man! great video. Thanks. I'm really looking forward for the day I'll get my hands and eyes in one of these. These goggles are the most stylish for my liking hahah

Thanks mate ✌️

[@IanFitty]

Dji for freestyle and hdz for racing and micros is probably the best gear bag to build. I love ripping my 5” and can’t imagine flying one that isn’t dji, but I also love building and flying little toothpicks and tinywhoops around the yard. Really need to add hdz to my kit.

[@brentonasmith]

Could’t agree more

[@IggyBiggy]

never had the issue with the foam. I did eventually buy the blue foam because its just more comfortable. I love my hdzero googles. Works awesome with walksnail VRX as well.

[@BrodieReed]

Awesome to know it works well with Walksnail ✌️

[@IggyBiggy]

​@@BrodieReedit's my go to setup. I do still run dji, something about the quality and range is pretty unbeatable still. I am really hoping to completely drop dji eventually though

[@CaptainCandycorn]

I've tried multiple goggles and I still prefer a controller mounted monitor. But I fly fixed wing

[@Outdoorandfpv]

Understandable, I would go with HDZERO if I had the money.

[@guytas]

My god I wish I could like my hdzero like you guys. I’m far from a racer but I like flying around my 1.5 acre property. With the hdzero, I cannot get half way and I loose signal. I tried changing antennas with no luck. Then I switch to dji O3 with the goggle 3 and wow… it’s clear clear clear perfectly. Of course, in an open field, the hdzero works but… very expensive for that..

[@BadRavenFPV]

When you get the std goggles foam there's a cut out centre section you have to remove. Don't throw it............ THAT forms the lens cover, easy push fit, stays put, fuzzy side to lens to protect. Why 3D print, etc, something else? I'm not using the normal padded surround, it still fits fine.

[@jdonez8347]

What battery do you run with your hdzero? New to hobby looking into buying these

[@Mr.Squidi]

I picked these up on black friday, and they have been great so far. Also the center cut out foam piece works pretty well as a free lens cover.

[@arichagy6208]

Is there a good website or video for how to setup HDzero? I am saving up for an HD system. Looked at HDZ and was intimidated by the price and complexity. Also DJI integra is half the price of HDZ now in the USA. I also not super interested in racing but more freestyle and long range. Currently have the tiny hawk freestyle 2 rtf.

[@TheCivildecay]

I really want to love HDzero (currently using the VRX with my skyzone 03O''s). The sad reality is that I want to switch from VRX to a HD goggle and the HDzero goggles will cost me 680 euro while the DJI Integra cost me 450 Euro... I find it really hard to justify HDzero goggles over DJI Integra for my FPV style (A bit of freestyle, cruising and racing) when I can just use my Skyzones for racing and DJI for everything else.

[@BrodieReed]

Yeah, that's totally understandable! I can only imagine HD Zero Goggles getting cheaper as time goes on (Hopefully haha)

[@KOrnhOliO1]

And the HDZero system performance isn't in the same ballpark as DJI's is! Not even close! And, HDZero VTX's burn out like matches in a matchbook! Seriously all the Friggin' time! People have stopped using HDZero because of that reason! SERIOUSLY. That, and the fact that the image quality is barely better that the best analog gear! Go buy the best analog camera and the best analog VTX and compare it to HDZero. HDZero will be slightly sharper, but THATS IT! NO better distance you can fly to. No better penetration, heck there's virtually none... Especially when compared to DJI! Can't fly into a forest, a tree, or around any objects. You get 3 trees out 30 meters in front of you and you get snow! It's a joke! All for the most money of any FPV product! Goggles $600, antennas, about $100, a battery for goggles about $25, analog adapter?, etc, etc. Nearly $800 for a slightly sharper image than the best analog gear! Nah. Too much for too damn little! All hype and no delivering! I'd stick with great analog gear. Hardly any difference! FACT. It's why it's called ANALOG2! 😂🤷🤦

[@carlosr.2027]

@@KOrnhOliO1I hear the best analog goggles like skyzone o4x v2 has better penetration and long range distance then hdzero goggles

[@MichaelRyannz]

If you get the Pyrodrone foam for HDZERO .... grab a couple of sets etc as I am looking for that item.. Hit me up.if you do otherwise I will order direct myself. NZ TGA

[@leonardocastaneda904]

~$600 for goggles that wouldn't wreck your bank, but other cheaper options would? idk, that first statement took me flabbergasted lol. Great video though, just like the others

[@BrodieReed]

I mean hey, there are always going to be cheaper options, just depends on what features and future-proofness you are after ✌️ Thanks my friend!

[@Kylemestyle]

honestly, I hate the dji goggles 2. the focus spot is so small and the face plate was made for ony wide faces. I had to 3d print a part to get all the light leaks out. still waiting for spring to use my hdzero Googles more.

[@KOrnhOliO1]

Of course, you won't be able to fly 1/10 as far with clarity when flying near the ground. Won't be able to penetrate objects anymore, so no flying around buildings, heck you won't be able to fly around the first corner of a building! Won't be able to fly into a forest or up in the canopy of a tree and out the other side. Won't have even close to the resolution, even with a Vista on DJI, but especially with 03. All those performance things, but you also will have VTX's burn out like matches in a matchbook! Crazy unreliable! People have quit using HDZero all together because they got sick of buying VTX's over and over and over and them all burning out! Seriously, it's bad. 😫 And, all that for the most expensive price of any goggle on the FPV market! And, the least improvement over analog.... Analog2!

[@carlosr.2027]

⁠@@KOrnhOliO1wow didn’t know vtx are burning out so quick is hdzero aware of this defects and plans to fix ?

[@gartsworld-RC]

Hdzero for the win. I fly it with the 90fps cam and love it all day. But everything has pro's and cons so buy what you like and have fun.

[@BrodieReed]

Totally, I'm stoked that the cons aren't as large as the pros ✌️

[@gartsworld-RC]

I agree with that. And the feeling how dialed in you get with the system especially with the 90fps is insane. So enjoy the system it's has some big benefits depending on what you're wanting to do. And I like you channel so keep uploading 😉💪🏻

I have to use prescription inserts on all my goggles. I’d suggest RHO lens, i use them and love them. Price is terrible on these. No antennas and no hard case, wth! I know they are the Swiss Army knife of goggles currently, but so are some of the analog ones. I like them but I don’t love them yet and have had them a while now. Using the analog and ws vrx with them has been meh for me. The ws vrx has had hit or miss hdmi issues in which sucks (just on the hdz). My skyzone 03o’s have no problem with them. And I actually prefer them over my hdz goggles for both analog and ws. They are heavier than the skyzone and ws vrx combined. Battery life is utterly terrible. The video quality is meh outside for me. Inside is fine though. That could be the whoop cams or just me. Idk yet. Overall, for the cost, it’s iffy. I have all 4 systems, and it’s not my go to yet. They are one of the most expensive goggles and their vtx/combos are above some ws and most analog. Oh and don’t get me started on the 900mhz reboot issue. That irks me a ton. It actually has made me not want to use hdz on anything I use crsf on. I could go on and on. I really am hopeful they mature more and become super reliable. I still use them often, but not as much as my dji v2’s and my skyzone 03o’s. I hope the eco changes that a little more for me.

My advice for any beginner is to just stick with analog until OpenIPC gets traction. Analog can look nearly as good as hdzero with the right camera/antenna setup

HDZero like a Samsung QLED TV? That's hilarious! LOL! You're joking, right? Haahaa! Damn, that's is very, Very funny! 🤣 BRO, HDZero has the crappiest image quality for the most amount of money! 💰💸 Least quality upgrade over plain ole analog for approx. $800 - goggles $600, antennas $100, battery for goggles, $25, analog adapter?, etc, etc. That's why they have the nickname of ANALOG2... Because, quite frankly, it's a slight sharper ANALOG! That's it! Can HDZero fly farther, near the ground, with clarity? Nope. Can HDZero penetrate objects better than Analog? Nope. Can it fly around a building better than Analog? Hell, it can't even fly around the first corner of a building! Lol So, Nope. Can it fly through a woods or up into a tree and out the other side? Nope. Are the VTX's more reliable than Analog? No Friggin' Way... In fact they're way, Way less reliable... There's a prominent FPV reviewer, been doing it over 10 years, very popular, who said on his channel, that he had to stop using HDZero because he'd replaced VTX after VTX so many times when they burned out, that he simply couldn't afford to buy them anymore! Sounded like he was up close to a dozen replacements! 🤦 He's not the only one complaining about them burning out like a paper match! With the smallest amount of improvements over plain ole Analog, Analog2 (HDZero) is THE WORST VALUE FOR YOUR DOLLAR OF ANY PRODUCT IN FPV! You get so little improvements over Analog it's a Friggin' amazement that people will actually pay nearly $800 for the goggles and then you don't even have a VTX! Probably why Fat shark have up on the technology! 🤷😂... And why they only have about 10% market share! Even racers have gone back to Analog because HDZero is having issues with the screen going black in the middle of a Friggin' race! 😟

[@snyq-yj6lo]

This seems like the actual review. I have the dji v1 - and now I want to get more into whoops/toothpicks, I rarely have time to deal with 5 inch anymore. There are walksnail and hdzero 1s boards for whoops, but honestly I'm quite apprehensive about going that route - I bought dji when I first got into fpv and feel slightly burnt in a way, the development of that tech is moving so fast that there is always something new to replace your existing stuff. I'm honestly considering switching to analog, I'm not a racer, just and enjoyer. Not to mention the price, analog is still a little cheaper - which to me matters, I can buy more quads with the money I save, and not feel so bad when I crash or lose a quad. FPV is about pushing the limits, so these things can happen. What are your thoughts?
