How To Firmware Update HDzero Goggles | Step-By-Step

[@PropsOff]

Update July 16, 2023 2:00am: The new firmware release (Rev 26062023) is good, real good. Definitely recommend updating. I dropped the update in before IO2023 and had no foul issues. The wifi module is much better than the ModuleV1.. www.hd-zero.com/document

[@turboomni848]

Nice job as I always enjoy your videos. Happy to see your channel grow and get more popular. You deserve it man.

[@PropsOff]

I appreciate your support...👍🏻🍻👊🏻

[@MrBumbles2]

yea the vifly has been awesome on my whoop batteries, been debating hdzero goggles , have skyzone 04x now

[@PropsOff]

I got to fly the Sky zone goggle, they're very nice. This V3 has everything I wanted and is much more intuitive, the menu is very simple to understand at a quick glance during a race. Now, is it as accurate as my three V2s...🤔

[@M0nkphish]

this video may have saved me some early heartbreak when my goggles get here! thank you

[@PropsOff]

So far, the most current update is working pretty good...🍻

[@TheCarl1206]

Thank you for making such a great video for HDZero. Much appreciated.

[@PropsOff]

My pleasure. Enjoy the Breeze...👍🏻🍻👊🏻

[@para9111]

Thank you very much for all the hard work you do.Its greatly appreciated.

[@PropsOff]

I appreciate your support and very valued encouragement...👍🏻🍻👊🏻

[@MCsCreations]

Thanks for the tutorial, dude! 😊 I feel like I'm going to need it until the end of the year... If everything works out. 😬 Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@PropsOff]

Yeah, I imagine not that many people will need the info, till the new release drops.. Enjoy the Breeze...🍻

[@CustomFPV]

Great video as always!! Very useful tutorial coming from the man himself who walked me through this update process on the phone!! lol! Just updated mine to 9.0.27 myself. Analog is certainly better, but I definitely have my reservations... I am interested to hear your thoughts on it!! Happy flying!

[@PropsOff]

As you know, I've had a very dark and grim cloud over my home for a few weeks. That cloud is moving on and I'm super stoked to pick back up the hobby. I will definitely update my thoughts here in comments. Get 100 packs in and I'll call ya...🍻

[@CustomFPV]

@@PropsOff Yeah, I’m glad the cloud is beginning to pass and you are starting to fly more again! I’ll be back in town soon and we will have to rip some packs for sure! I’ll keep you posted on my findings as well. Take care!

[@danjensen9425]

Hi I just got my new HDZero goggles a week ago and building the skyhunter 1800 for my first digital setup . I’ll have to do what is necessary to get 1000 from the vtx . The red one. I bought 3 along with the runcam HD cameras. I was wondering in the future if you will be working on the little breakups in proximity flying I see on KZbin videos and if you would use AI to create better firmware . Just a thought. Finally went digital. Oh what got me to buy these instead of dji was the ability to use analog. Thanks great video

[@PropsOff]

I do wonder how involved I'll get with HDzero. I only own 2 whooplites. I have the goggles for analog reasons due to racing. My freestyle days are limited and just lost interest in it. It really depends on Carl and if he will have me involved in future products. I just don't have the hobby dollars to convert my analog rilpers to digital. Possibly, after bad crashes that take out my analog gear, I may update then...🤔 Enjoy the Breeze...👍🏻🍻👊🏻

[@alexbringhurst8881]

Thank you for the video! I was nervous about updating the FW but you explained it all very well. Can I ask, what is the make and model of your display that you connected your goggles to?

[@PropsOff]

Had a race today and just got done working on quads for a race tomorrow...🥵 The 9" FPV monitor I'm using is discontinued (Hieee-9-inch-hd-fpv-monitor). However, there are still some options out there. You just need to look for one that has an HDMI input. I had a listing for it, but the company went out of business a while back.. If you need help finding one, let me know. The one I have retailed for $199us...🍻

[@cheesepizza33]

Thanks for the helpful info i just got my goggles, also are those foxeer lollipops good?

[@PropsOff]

My pleasure...🍻 I really like them. I've had all my buddy's antennas on my goggles and just thought the Lollipop did a great job. I have not tried the doubled-long AxII, but I can't foresee myself shelling out that much cash for an antenna.

[@ludofevrier5593]

Nice i don t speak english very well and i understand with your rewiew!!🙌 Is it the same for fatshark scout hdzero ?

[@PropsOff]

Not sure, this video is for "Batch 2" HDzero goggle users. Since I don't own the Scout goggles, I don't have the knowledge to help with that question. I appreciate your feedback, I have a lot of non-English speaking subscribers, I try and show it...🍻

[@Lowbattery_fpv]

Nice and detailed. Thanks

[@PropsOff]

My pleasure...🍻

[@Flyrc27]

Thanks, It still has a white screen at startup, then the right side is split into two halves, unreadable at the top and dots at the bottom .When HD vtx come on pic shakes in right lens

[@PropsOff]

That's after reflashing?

[@Flyrc27]

@@PropsOff yes

[@PropsOff]

@@Flyrc27 Perhaps the ribbon cable needs readjusting...🤔

[@Flyrc27]

@@PropsOff I will do this next. Where can I get the lens if needed

[@garris2428]

Hi nice video thanks. Do you have a link where we can buy the Hiee HDMI monitor?

[@PropsOff]

My pleasure, glad you liked it. Unfortunately, I don't have a link, the business where I received it isn't around.

[@mikerich32]

Thanks for the tutorial! Sorry if this is a stupid question, but now that I've completed the update process, is it okay to delete the bin file from the SD card?

[@PropsOff]

Yes, I cleared my SD card a month later and reformatted it in the goggles. No question is stupid...🍻

[@methodsofmeyhem]

Hey bud I got some questions on the mobula6 I watched ur videos on it but mine is acting crazy only flew it once think I may have messed up in betaflight.

[@PropsOff]

Ask away...🍻

[@methodsofmeyhem]

@@PropsOff so I think I fixed it last night I went happy model website downloaded factory settings firmware and dump file and installed seems to be working now lol

[@PropsOff]

@@methodsofmeyhem Sounds good... Enjoy the Breeze...👍🏻🍻👊🏻

[@jdonez8347]

What battery to recommend for the hdzero?

[@PropsOff]

@@jdonez8347 I use a 7200mah 2S to run my goggles and radio. I like having the battery in my pocket and no on my head. Most guys that don't, seem to run the dual 18650 goggle pack...🧐

[@mysterb_33-13]

So how do you fix the SD card if you did formatnit?

[@PropsOff]

I apologize, I'm unclear of your question, could you elaborate just a bit more?

[@Inertia888]

I hope I can help. Not sure if it's related to your experience, but I found that after formatting the sdCard in the Goggles, and looking at the contents of the sdCard by inserting it into my laptop's sdCard slot, there was no "movies" file. It had nothing on it at all. > I then put the sdCard back into the Goggles, and instead of re-formatting it, I selected 'Repair SDcard'. After dong this, the correct files were on the sdCard, and updating firmware was a success.

[@Flyrc27]

Hey my HD goggles have a white screen in the right eye during startup, and left eye has the HDZERO emblem at an angle and it takes about 4 minutes to view anything. Suggestions

[@PropsOff]

I had this happen too, I reflashed them again, and it was fine. Thinking of the importance of following the steps, perhaps, I then made this video. I'm not sure what it was, but it's not happened again. Could you reflash to the newest and let me know? I think if a step is missing, or you power them down too soon, the flash gets wacked...🤔

[@MattBalder]

Where do I go to download the beta firmware you are using?

[@PropsOff]

I'm not sure where or if it's available. My crew got it from Carl. Are you on Divimath's FB group? I could have sworn there was a link there...

[@BabyDahl28]

SO i was able to unlock my freestyle VTX, but whenever I try to update the firmware, I get a "verification failed" code. Have you ever seen this or heard of it?

[@PropsOff]

I have not? Unfortunately, it may be difficult for me to help you on this one, I don't own the freestyle VTX... Did you get the bin file from the same version as what your goggles are running? I'd have to dig a bit to find what this mean...🧐

[@PropsOff]

Also, did you do the update "Rev 26062023" to your goggles and the VTX? www.hd-zero.com/document

[@BabyDahl28]

It's all updated to the latest firmware and the goggles were batch 2 with version 9x on them so I was able to do simple update. I have 2 freestyles. The first wouldn't let me unlock or update firmware. So I swapped it out for the 2nd one. It let me unlock it, but gave me same verification error when trying to update firmware. Used the cable to update my whoop lit vtx and it was a success so I know it's not the cable.

[@PropsOff]

@@BabyDahl28 Very interesting, I'll have to do some digging.. If I don't get back before you solve, please let me know...👍🏻

[@BabyDahl28]

Will do.

[@mfrfpv9079]

Hdzero is your new favorite 😍 💕?

[@PropsOff]

🤣

[@PropsOff]

Update 5/17/23: So far, way better than any firmware versions before. There was a strange white screen that happened, but was able to fly out of it. I will report this to Carl. I didn't have the stuttering or rolling as before and the menu finally looks and functions well. More updates to come. Enjoy the Breeze...👍🏻🍻👊🏻

[@MrJarrod]

Hi Props off we really need a phoenix card recovery video next. thanks

[@PropsOff]

@MrJarrod I most likely won't do a flashcard data recovery video. Did you lose your contents?

[@PowderMill]

Thanks! I’m using the HDZero goggles with my DJI Mavic-3 w/HDMI output from the RC-Pro controller. It’s quite nice, with the exception of a problem with video via the HDMI in. Anyone else see the following? When viewing the HDMI output of the DJI RC-Pro controller, the video displayed in the goggles seems to be “slow”. Difficult to explain, but essentially… the video appears and is gorgeous.. when sitting on the ground or hovering. But, when the video image changes, like during flight, it starts to do something I can only describe as “stuttering” or “glitching”. Almost like the goggles cannot keep up with the video being inputted. Anyone else? Thanks.

[@PropsOff]

You're experiencing latency, it can be as bad as 60ms+, between frames. This would look like stuttering. Personally, I don't know how to remedy this other than lowering resolution...🤔

[@PowderMill]

@@PropsOff thanks ! I will give that a try. I’m pretty sure the RC-Pro has resolution controls in “settings”/“display”. I had to lower it when using the Orqa FPV One goggles with the HDMI output connector.
