I Should have LISTENED to XJET - Caddx walksnail Avatar goggle L update

[@UAVfutures]

If you havent see it, This is the full breakdown review of the Avatar Goggles L - kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHWbo4muobpnhsUsi=10aIUPKrtFO8wU1J who agrees Bruce is a legend in the review game. Thanks buddy

[@tity4100]

Hey man! Is there any HD FPV system with live audio feed?

[@PiDsPagePrototypes]

What level of optical focus adjustment do they have, for those who have good eyesight but are old enough to need help focusing under 20cm from our faces? A good screen is one thing, but when it's under minimum distance, even normal analog will be clearer if it's got di-opter adjustment.

[@DemonsFPV]

Hey stu. Thanks for wearing the hellfire shirt. Im the 'captain' the boys were stoked. Legend. Thanks again buddy.

[@DanZfpv]

Hey Stu. I'm really happy you've found a way to better your mindstate and that you're back to consistently making videos again. I think entry level HD goggles are going to be a big step forward for the new folks that are getting into the hobby.

[@tmc-fpv]

Glad you like the foam. Our early test units had thinner foam making the goggles unwearable. Thicker foam was the only rhing all the testing guys suggested they change.

[@farisnazeri9841]

i hope that walksnail can make tiny whoop vtx v2 . it would be great for beginner and sold like combo kit for starter . it would be game changer for whoop community

[@UAVfutures]

I 100% agree. this on a whoop,. like a real whoop, not just a small drone, would be epic. just out of interest? any paticular whoop build you love. i want to build another one and keen to try something new

[@farisnazeri9841]

[@lievenvv]

I've got a 68mm on 2S with 35mm props on Walksnail Not as light as a real whoop, but just as small Flies amazing

[@Foremi]

Yeeup. Caddx has a good enough product with by far the widest range of flexibility in what size drones you can put a digital system in, but they keep releasing new products that are half baked and not finishing the last round of products. If they actually stopped and finished baking what’s already out today they could be the best option for most with hdzero getting the racers and dji getting the ones who have a reason or want to spend for it in larger drones. Still, I wish avatar hd was open source or open to others making hardware. That’s the one drawback is that it’s entirely reliant on caddx existing and choosing to support it.

[@peterlee5087]

what does the air unit cost - give us the TOTAL cost please.

[@clean1566]

Me, if I only got one, I would stick with my HDZero goggles. Yes they’re expensive, but I have both analog and digital quads. Love my goggles! Nice vid Stu.

[@UAVfutures]

heres the question, do you already have a nice set of goggles though for analog?

[@MolokaiBoy_808]

I love my GL. It's been performing well and I'm impressed just how well they have been performing for me.

[@georgeaura]

Can you do a range test video with them?

[@UAVfutures]

yep sure. how long is too long though? like I can do how far I feel like flying, but I bet these could GO MUCH FURTHER but that may not be wise on my end

[@gregorydahl]

Do they take a minute to reboot if the power cuts off or you get signal loss ?

I tried 3 different times to update the firmware. I mean 3 different pair of brand new Fatshark Recon hd 's, and 3 times I sent them back. I would buy the "L"s today if it came with the firmware- updated to the firmware that the quad ( I bought 3 months ago)

As far as I've seen you can get inserts from caddx directly that get made for your prescriptions.

[@shakysugars]

Do you think that since the Avatar HD Googles X released in October 2023, we are going to see a new and improved version releasing soon from walksnail for their flagship? I'm looking at entering FPV and would rather buy the best and hold till it's actually worth upgrading. So, I am thinking about going with these for now until i get my feet wet. Would like to hear your opinion on this.

[@artifixprime]

Does the cover at the top open? e.g. to upgrade the reciever in the future

[@ConStantEdits]

Do you have a mod video for your headset.. id love to know what you did i have that same headset

[@powersv2]

Minimum viable product on the firmware front?

[@Bitathisandthat]

Tiss not often you come accross something in the fpv hobby that seams to good to be true,, but i have to agree with everything you have said stew.

[@Truth.Love.Liberty]

Whats the max transmission distance with those budget 200$ goggles and the walksnail avatar hd cam?

[@UAVfutures]

i would guess 40km on perfect conditions. but thats high planes within direct lines of sight

[@andresrestrepo6039]

Would you recommend for long-ish range... 4 to 8k. Knowing that would be a game changer for me as I start a new build and haven't decided on analog or this system.

[@Rocketman0407]

Can it do analogue as well 5.8 ghz? Want to be able to use my analogue drones as well with it

[@manorotti]

If its somehow possible to support analog also i will buy them right now

[@smika710]

I have the goggles X, would you recommend these over the avatar vrx

[@jojomajo]

True

[@smika710]

Vrx would work with my headset, let me change antennas, and work on hdzero goggles if I went that way.

[@UAVfutures]

yep, steve talks about this exact thing in my full review. he would use these over the VRX. he has a vrx and skyzones and prefers this.

[@MrOrangeman18]

the foam on mine at the top is to thick, foam at the bottom near and around the nose needs moving outwards. basicly the goggles for my face need tilting upwards, shame there is no different foam kits around.

[@chulian1819]

[@gregory63412]

What is the DVR resolution and fps on these?

[@josiahmos5880]

I already have a Walksnail VRX, but no goggles yet. Should I buy the Walksnail Avatar HD Goggles L or should I buy other goggles and connect it to the VRX? (Low price is a priority for me)

[@NotShuba]

you can probably sell the vrx for $100-150, after selling buy these for +$50-100.

[@RicardoSilva-lm4hb]

Hye thanks for the videos! I'm new in the hobbie and bought the Goggles, but now I wonder, can they connect to any HD vtx system? Of just the avatar hd systems? Thanks!

[@yusufariffin2212]

can you compare it with the emax transporter 2? i thought that the new hdzero eco is such a bargain.. im going back to tiny whoops XD

[@LovesM855A1]

You can get integras for not much more and way better

[@nielsB_FPV]

That was my first thought. I think the DJI Integra's are the best bang for your buck digital goggles

[@ElChingonFPV]

I own two pairs of Integras and Walksnail Goggles X and you are correct. However, 150 bucks might make a difference for some entering the hobby. Not for me fortunately, but for some. Great entry goggles.

[@mplouis]

Depends where you live. In germany, the Integra's cost about 250€ more then the Goggles L

[@nielsB_FPV]

@@mplouis I live in the Netherlands and got the integras for 459, while the avatar L will probably cost 245 euro

[@mplouis]

@@nielsB_FPV I saw it in a shop in the netherlands for around 240€. This would be a good price

[@soky157]

In previous you said that you wouldnt use this Goggle with Tiny Whoops. Why is that please?

[@UAVfutures]

because the actual air unit is too large for an actual "tiny whoop" you can still build very very small indorr crafts but and actual tiny whoop I think this is just a tad too heavy for the drone to carry. Did I explain that well?

[@lightbulbjim]

Can you do a walkthrough on Walksnail share mode and any caveats? Right now I use an old pair of analog goggles with an HDMI cable for passengers (Walksnail v1 goggles for the pilot) but presumably the share feature is a better way to do it.

[@UAVfutures]

sure I can make that video for you, I have a few oither to film, but if you dont see it in a week can you please remind me again?

[@lightbulbjim]

@@UAVfutures well hopefully other people find it useful too. Thanks!

[@johncarold]

Hi Stew, I happen to love my EV-800D, what's not to like. Diversity, dvr, big screen, and you can mount it on a tripod for people can watch my flying. Yeah, I know they are heavy, and they were better than the EV-100 you reviewed, and I purchased. But back to the Caddx Walksnail googles. If I was starting out, they are the only googles I would get.

[@JP-qq2kn]

I started with the EV800D's. They were great. I actually regret selling them. When I upgraded to the Skyzone 02c goggles, I was a little let down because I was actually getting better reception with the EV800D's.

[@gregorydahl]

I painted the front spray epoxy white and put my extra fatshark sticker on it . Much better for me i think .

[@kmieciu4ever]

I like to tinker so I removed the battery from my EV800D and installed a 5.5/2.1 DC plug, just like most FPV goggles use.

[@BreeZieDoesiT]

Hi. This vs the walksnail vrx for my hdzero goggles?. Which way is a better path to get into walksnail of the 2

[@ngk330]

im wanting to add fpv to my aeroscout s2, Any know what all i would need? Goggles camera and some sort of transponder? i'm a noob

[@automaton450]

I’m wondering what the apparent FOV of these is like compared to the Recon HDs 3.5” (44°) and the Goggles X (50°). The Recon screen is so small that 1080P is kinda wasted, I can barely read the OSD. The Goggles X is still too small for me, I'm ruined by the Headplay HD IMAX like experience, but it’s 7” LCD is only 1280 x 800.

[@k1ortia]

What's better, paying $179 for a brand new pair of these, or $220 for a second hand pair of DJI googles?.. cheers

[@Magneticitist]

DJI vs Walksnail is easy.. If you absolutely require the most penetration then it's the O3. The Walksnail is not going to go beyond DJI's hard distance limit if the flying is done behind a lot of obstruction. When obstruction is involved, the O3 will always outperform Walksnail. If that's not an issue then Walksnail is just easier to set up.

[@_Brando_69]

Wish i could put on my own antennas

[@FPV420.]

I own the goggles X and although I haven't tried the Goggle L I still believe the overall experience with the L will be better. Prior to buying the Goggles X I had Skyzone Cobra. I still prefer box goggles although I sold the Cobra because of the 720p.

[@UAVfutures]

you just prefer the one large screen? very interesting take, usually most pilots say the opp. what is it about the box style you like?

[@FPV420.]

@@UAVfutures Yes, I do prefer the box goggles for a few reasons. Firstly, the goggles X don't allow me to see the OSD corners unless I completely remove the face plate, but then light gets in. The IPD adjustment is just a tad short for me and it takes my eyes some time to adjust (I don't wear glasses). The only down side of the box goggles is that they are bulky.

[@GuilhermeSacon96]

this goggles or vrx? or used goggles v2?

[@UAVfutures]

which goggles v2? caddx ones? this is better than the VRX IMO

[@GuilhermeSacon96]

After sale the goggles is going to be 343 dollars and vrx with moonlight kit, buying from caddx, 326. if you have already a analog goggles with HDMI input i think vrx with a transmiter might be better, even thought analog goggles screens are not that high resolution. broke analog guy here lol

There is something wrong with them: no input or output options They are meant to get you invested into the Cadex system, and then you will probably want to upgrade to better goggles.

isnt this like all systems. Dji, hdzero and caddx. once you get into a system, its expensive to switch. do you mean analog and HDzero so you can still fly that system and analog?

Kind of a redundant argument to say that you would rather have those goggles over any analog setup because you would be stuck using caddx products and good luck with that mess.

[@UAVfutures]

that is kind of the way with a lot of digital systems though. DJI, HDZERO and walksnail all use their own system and cant interchange. each has their pros and cons, I have been really enjoying my caddx setup actually

[@dronemagicnl4986]

I don't get it. Why are you comparing to analog? That's setting the bar very low and that way I do think get your getting way to excited:) Maybe you can see it as a super cheap to get into FPV if your set on buying something new. But I would just get a used DJI V2. Since the O3 is out my personal new standard as a content maker is:"Can I use the footage for jobs or do I need to mount a gopro to get useful footage". This falls in the latter category and therefor doesn't make sense to me. For me this systems are just useful for racers and freestylers

[@UAVfutures]

because Xjet specifically asked for the comparison between that analog style of goggles and this headset. if you are using DJI or considering a gopro and its for for work, you could do the flying with any system, even analog if you strap a gopro to it, then you are not locked into ANY system etc

Still not a digital tiny whoop that comes close in performance to analog. I have integras and 2 sets of v2, but still prefer analog for racing and tiny whoops. Much easier to watch others while racing as well. Plus it hurts a lot less to break an analog camera or vtx on a race gate.
