HPI GUY | CONNEX PROSIGHT Vs Anologue - True side by side.

[@dannydietze]

Thanks for the review, it really looks amazing and for you to do a real side by side was exactly what the FPV community needed, thanks again.

[@Phiqtional]

Best side by side comparison for this setup so far. Lovin' the edit! Lookin forward to the next vid mate.

[@ChrisPrefect]

Real glass to glass latency check please! And a range check and demo on how the image breaks down and recovers. Thanks!

[@quadflyingmedic7988]

that is mind blowing how good that video looks, and it held up well no drop outs or bad pixelastion. I would like to see it fly around trees and behind structures

[@sgabyss]

I felt this was a very useful and well documented test. Thank you very much from all of us.

[@dr.erelevant9204]

This comparison video makes the Prosight look rather impressive. Thanks for putting in the effort!

[@connormullan]

that quality is insaneee!

[@connormullan]

would love to see a range test also

[@Desrtfox71]

I'd like to see a range check as well as what happens when the video does fail. how long does it take to come back, etc.

[@21wilks]

Fantastic video Richard deffo be getting that setup so much clearer I was wondering when hd fpv would come ! Cheers

[@jester3265]

It actually lives up to the hype! Amazing quality.

[@morganwollman5794]

Was honestly very skeptical of Prosight before this video but that looked really good. Great video! All they would need now to completely win me over would be a Fatshark goggle receiver module.

That's not happening though. Even putting the size restraints aside, the module bay only has analog inputs, so yeah....

[@morganwollman5794]

+Jay Anderson yeah that's true, but down the road hopefully. The portability of just grabbing my goggles and going is hard to give up...

[@UAVfutures]

Thanks for doing this mate. A latency test please. also would be great if next time you take it out fly behind some things that would cause significant snow on the standard set up. Long distance, stuff. behind thick far away trees.

[@AlexMageethefirst]

agreed, a range test would also be nice. Its rated for 100mw, so I'm having a hard time imagining that it will out range my unify pro 800mw... I pre ordered one anyway, so fingers crossed it works as hoped!

[@ambivalentone]

Was in the comments to ask the same.

[@cj2006sd]

Lightbridge is a great system, but its latency is 150ms. Foxtech did a latency test of this Connex system with a timer running and the Connex sytem shows between .05-.06 sec or 50-60ms delay. This is still not as fast as analog, BUT this is the first HD system that is actually fast enough to race. Racing quad are capable of approaching 100mph, while Lightbridge is great for photo/videography, its not quite fast enough to race. For example, at 100mph, with Lightbridge, your quad will actually be 21.64 ft ahead of where you perceive it through goggles at 150ms delay. With this Connex system, at 100mph, your quad will only be 6.86ft ahead of where you perceive it through goggles at 50-60ms delay. The Connex system to me is the first viable HD race system.

[@AlexMageethefirst]

cj2006sd I got a connex, and stuck it on my armattan f1-6. Its not race ready imo. The system works very well (aside from the crazy pixelation when signal drops) but its kinda stuttery.... like playing counterstrike at 20 fps. I think that this system is best used for chilled cruising where you can admire the pretty picture, for racing I will stick to my good old 5.8 200mw vtx and la forge diversity receiver for now. It works much better, and I'm not throwing hundreds of $ worth of gear at a race gate. I think V2 could be pretty special though, i've not given up.

[@AlexMageethefirst]

mPky1 indirectly yes. There are no spare parts available yet, and as the antenna is kinda vulnerable I think it is more likely to get hurt in a crash. Having said that the main reasons i say its not going to take off in the race world are the low frame rate, extra weight of gear and unpredictable break up. I think the reasons it could work for racing are the digital signal is paired to the receiver, like an RX, so no more messing with dip switches between heats, and the carrier signal allows for way more pilots to be in the air. I'm waiting for a firmware update or something, The connex system has the potential to change everything, but I think its only 70% of the way there. I've left it at home the last couple of times i've gone out, put it that way.

[@floriantennapel6908]

woow! that's amazing! not a single breakup in the video.

[@MatthewEvansFPV]

Nice comparison - are you going to do any fast outdoor flying? That's my main concern!

[@garyolson3315]

Impressive! Thanks for a great video. I'm back into the rc hobby for 6 months, from years ago flying nitro helis. I am up to the Eachine EV800 goggles and Eachine Racer, impressive for 80.00, and 130.00 USD. Thinking about the Fatshark HD goggles and this setup.

[@matthewcoleman8267]

wow it's night and day better! would love to see it perform around trees and the range of it. Great video!

[@MadMarcWinnipeg]

Great review, very nicely edited. Thanx man. This is new news to me.

[@goncaloareias98]

How about the latency? On the previous wasn't clear. Thanks

[@ulwur]

Is there any video stabilization applied in the DVR? In the analogue video there was lots of pitch and ail movements that just wasn't there in the digital video. Just like a video stablilizer or something.

[@LIFEOFSTUFFEDANIMALS]

REALLY impressive. Thanks so for the video!

[@David__]

Looking very nice... how does it fee for delay?

[@chulian1819]

better than a review is a comparison test, thank you!

[@LemberTheMember]

Very nice that is the next big step for FPV

[@bazathome2002]

Awesome video. I'd love to see some flying behind large trees - the sort where the analog goes fairly snowy but you can still fly through OK. If the Connex is also flyable around large trees then I'm in for one! I wonder if this system can connect to the Fatshark Attitude V3s via an HDMI-RCA connector?

[@TonyFong_NorcoT]

awesome video. like many others I'd like to know about range, not the range itself but how the video cuts out or degrades when. a big fear from moving from analogue is the video just cutting out without warning when signal is weak.

[@caramba10]

Nice indoor comparison but would have been nice to also see some outdoor footage and see the difference under dull overcast conditions and also bright sunshine, especially flying towards the sun.

[@sportbilly74]

Great comparison, would like some range tests please, I think I am already sold on it though

[@WanderinWizard]

that looks amazing!! what's the weight in grams of just the hd stuff that goes on the quad and much $$$??

[@robwhite2282]

Excellent video! You win a new subscriber! Thank you sir.

[@BlackPixxelDE]

Awesome! Is the 16:9 image streched back to 4:3 inside the HD2 googles or are there black bars on top and bottom or does it have a 4:3 mode?

[@digitalmojofpv6217]

i have been hoping hd would be possible some day... looks like it us here... cant wait to see the development of this become cheaper and a smaller format.

[@CodeChief]

What about flight time and flight characteristics? Do we really need that big T/fairing style antenna for HD? Can it be simplified/made aerodynamic? Looks like it will break easily, then what do Connex charge for replacements or can we make/3D print ourselves. Carbon fibre antenna comes to mind.

[@jonathandahood]

that video quality is amazing, I wish it had audio from the quad!

[@BMSWEB]

You're the man!! Fantastic video. What was it like flying with the HD feed in the Goggles? I'm assuming way clearer? Would that be correct?

[@1Hippo]

Watch/hear at 4:04

[@ken-kamm]

What DVR did you use to record the ProSight footage? Brand and model please? Thanks for the video, looking forward to seeing more.

[@harrysmythers6815]

This is a game changer, amazing.

[@IzakGt]

What a great test. Like others I was skeptical, but wow that was impressive. Still a little on the large size for me. But I'm sure with time it will shrink some more. Thanks for sharing

[@CalHallows]

Really great quality and break up (or lack of...) compared to usual 5.8. Does it only work with their supplied camera or will there be a way of adapting it to other HDMI or SDI devices?

[@ken-kamm]

Amimon says it only works with their camera for now. It uses a MIPI digital interface to the Tx.

[@markborrmannjr]

Nice.... Would love to see the same test in the middle of a city neighborhood so see how it holds up....

[@israstar1]

great video, is it possible to do a video in the woods?

[@AndreasNeubauerAN]

great review thank you for that. This looks very promising would love to see this system on real race conditions with more pilots racing on the same time with much more speed.

[@brendanprice9825]

Hi mate, great review as always, slightly off topic but i have the connex also and the hauppauge rocket but i cant use Sony Vagas to edit (wont alloe it) very odd as if i record footage from the pc it accepts the file no problems, what edit software do you use?

[@droner5423]

Tiz the future of fpv

[@justinmartindale1057]

Do you have a web link to check out the DVR you are using?

[@chrisbewrx]

wow I wasn't a believer until now.. thanks. Do you know how it goes when flying with other pilots?

[@ThatHPIGUY]

I will find out

[@CurtisBHertz]

I believe it was mentioned up to 6 people at once on the Connex system with no interference with regular 5.8Ghz systems :)

[@DorsetSaferRoads]

does it interfere with other people's traditional video.

[@DG4ever92]

+Curtis .B Hertz I think they mentioned 32 channels and there should be at least one channel between two pilots. That would mean 16 pilots should be able to fly together.

[@blubberking100]

What was the song you used in this?

[@neo39wfpv72]

ive ordered connex prosight , cant wait to test it :D esspecially hp mode with the latest firmware :)

[@hartrockets]

Great video. Would also love range test. Also details of the DVR.

[@orphanpixels]

Hauppauge HD Rocket

[@TheBeastFPV]

that's a dvr unit I love it how much and do u have to run that big unit on quads

[@fsarfino]

Thanks for the side by side comparison. Cant wait till the price goes way down and the system gets smaller including the antenna. At this price point though I can't see it really gaining much market share.

[@AsySatya]

Man that's sick, i should get one of these thing. By the way You should try how the hd camera handle the sun directly and fly outdoor

[@UniversalPioneer]

Great review test vid! I would like to know flight times with the Connex alone and compared to flight times with Standard definition with 5.8. Still on the fence with this. I've read from a few people that it drains the batteries like crazy. Which means the battery industry needs to step the game up. Can I get the name of that HD DVR?

[@djsiuk]

The clarity is amazing. Certainly give you an edge when racing. How well will the antenna standup, it has to be bullet proof. Is this the case. Great review.

[@djonegloveTV]

Easy guys. Thats all youtuber outhere is all about. Just keep another content for next video. Hahahah. Thanks hpi. You rocks !!!

[@nathanh0423]

Does the Connex ever have video interference? I didn't see the video blip even once!

[@Raptor50aus]

Do you think I could run this setup on a Vortex 250 Pro?? Looks excellent

[@46449771]

Do you know if the prosight can output in 4:3 aspect ratio? (I'm wondering if it would work ok on Dominator v2s)

[@animatedlim]

Could you fly to check the distance before video signal loss.

[@Tech2C]

Great video! It'd be great to fly at a park, between trees, and general proximity flying/bashing around playgrounds and such. Cheers ;)

[@bigpops74]

Wow. I can't wait until it's smaller and cheaper.

[@MicroRCFiend]

Yeah, 20% size and cost, i'm in. Maybe a year? HD 3D FPV please

[@jussa101]

+MicroRCFiend yea hopefully the Chinese get their hand on it

[@MicroRCFiend]

jussa101 No way it's made in the West so they already do, just a matter of time. That DVR is massive though, shrink that too please and stick it inside a screen China

[@jussa101]

+MicroRCFiend there's a diff between just blindly manufacturing and having a Chinese company like aomway take it apart and have a serious look at all the parts

[@MicroRCFiend]

jussa101 If hobbyking have bought it then it's usually an OEM of something else anyway. It's very rare they fund something from the start, they just have massive buying power and people on the ball in China.

[@Pintosonic]

You should try it in a park with partial tree coverage too see if you can fly behind some foliage.

[@RType2966]

How do you do spectator mode it's says it has. Someone said he was using his mobile phone to record video. Can this be done.

[@21wilks]

What goggles are they u use

[@JakeBullit123]

good test rich.why does the receiver need all those identical antennae?

[@ThatHPIGUY]

To help catch the magic! Haha I don't know

[@FPVSteve]

bandwidth. It uses multiple channels.

[@FearlessHobbyProduct]

It uses a state of the art antenna setup called MIMO where having the signal split up between several Tx and Rx antennae allows multiple paths. Yes, multipathing is a good thing in the digital world.

[@richlees6503]

Oh that really changes things, nice

[@chris-wp3bo]

great video! thanks for the test. the image looks awesome compared to analog. what about if you fly behind walls or large trees?

[@ThatHPIGUY]

I'll try that soon

[@DorsetSaferRoads]

defo trees, get some stuff between you and the model.

[@DG4ever92]

Some tree diving would be great as that's what I like to fly most.

[@antdx316]

1080p60! Not 1080p30

[@calcifiedbonecollector3222]

you do see how he flys? you think he can dive trees? lol

[@protofpv]

very cool man. thanks for sharing. this should be a game changer for the sport.

[@etiennehubert1102]

Thanks for this great video! I'd like to know, what DVR device are you using?

[@orphanpixels]

Hauppauge HD Rocket

[@redpinelabs]

I thought I saw there is 2 quality modes, a slightly higher latency/high quality mode, or a lower latency mode. Which one were you running?

[@MassiveDE]

What happens when you connect this system to the Dom HD2´s? Will the image get streched or will blackbars appear?

[@Mcdonaldt001]

Man that's incredible!

[@antoinevanderstraeten1315]

the quality of the sd camera is way poorer than what I usually got. Have you concider that the HD signal might interfer with the sd one?

[@zeefpv4763]

Looks amazing! Accurate latency test against a HS1177 though! There has to be higher latency for that quality surely?!

[@43shawn43]

Awesome video. But what about the range?

[@ThatHPIGUY]

Coming soon

[@mungo8849]

Was not expecting to be impressed can't wait to see what the RR guys think of it, cheers for the good review, hope part 2 is out soon man

[@imacracker515]

Agree. I really want to see what happens when this system is pushed to the limits. I impressed so far.

[@SvoyakD]

And latency in digits please.

[@ab2tract]

www.getfpv.com/the-connex-prosight-hd-vision-kit.html says 26ms

[@AustinChopra]

do so high speed tests with it, and maybe try do a race with it, after seeing this video know what fpv setup i am getting next.

[@devinviable]

what kind of analog cam is that?

[@TimJC513]

The next test needs to be outside. I'd like to see how the camera adjusts to changes in lighting conditions (in and out of shadows). The main reason the HS1177 and PZ0420 have been the standard is due to the DWDR feature, which makes it possible to see details in both bright and dark portions of the screen. Can the Connex system do the same?

[@ken-kamm]

Amimon says the camera is WDR.

[@FPVWillDirtDobbins]

It looks like you were in HQ mode not performance mode, can you do the same thing in Performance mode?

[@blackmennewstyle]

Pretty nice :) I wish it was more easy to put everything on a mini quad actually! Happy sunday

[@WanderinWizard]

and yes what is the latency in digits?

[@peterkjellstrom3100]

I want to know what happens when it does experience lower signal levels. does it warn you before? does it stutter? Pixelate? blur? freeze?

[@nemorotatory]

Hi, can any one Please tell me the name of the HD recorder in this video? Is it DH DVR? Thanks

[@orphanpixels]

Hauppauge HD Rocket

[@jackhammell1926]

There might be a problem with your 5.8 system. Check antenna and frequency. Thanx for the video

[@marcusmckay8120]

what are your thoughts running the CPS vs AnGL and would you recommend the switch taking cost out of it

[@randylachman5273]

Thanks Mate

[@LuckyLe13]

what fatshark system do you have?

[@terrybrooks395]

Yep, great stuff, when they're giving them away I'll have one too :) Question: Would you pay full price for one ?

[@oenta83]

looks verry good! You noticed any latency from the Connex?

[@ThatHPIGUY]

Not yet

[@JohnVHRC]

Lucky man. Looks good

[@philthayer4087]

waiting for the Eachine unit, half price and size.

[@billclark5943]

HPI Guy or others, is this still the best option in the price range going from analog to digital?

[@CurtisBHertz]

The Connex system seems to have some sort of video stabilization, is there a way to turn that off? Seems so strange is all.

[@TimBass]

I saw that too, pretty sure there isn't any stabilization though. I think there's just so much information to look at it just looks smoother.

[@ken-kamm]

No stabilization. Maybe it's the soft rubber camera mount they provide?

[@kitesurfjerry]

At what power settings were you running the HD? In your last video I think you said it had 25mW and 100mW

[@DG4ever92]

It has an indoor and an outdoor mode. In Europe only 25mw is allowed outdoor. For indoor 200mw is possible. Max power is 200mw. You can change the output power with an android app connected to the ground unit via Bluetooth.

[@daemn42]

1. Please try performance mode in same env. 2. Please please please do this prosight v. analog comparison flying around in a forest.

[@ken-kamm]

I figured out what DVR this is by doing a bunch of google image searches, since no answer from HPI GUY. It's the Hauppauge PVR Rocket Portable. You can find it on Amazon. $140 Amazon Prime.

[@oliviertf]

Which DVR do you use for recording?

[@orphanpixels]

Hauppauge HD Rocket

[@mota_brix]

please make a range check outdoor

[@TheRCAddict]

Are you sure you didn't strap a Mobius on there! Dang!

[@cinedynamicFPV]

YES, I'm decide !!! thanks

[@AndreyAndyAG]

SuperCooooool!!! Thank You For Video!!!

[@BlumFPV]

footage looks great but Id like to see you go to the park and get some speed going and do some acro. Its hard to tell if there is lag because you are flying rather safe. Maybe voice over while you fly :)
