HDZERO FPV Monitor - 800 Nits With Digital & Analog FPV!

[@MadRC]

Hay Everyone A couple things have been asked after the completion of the review of the HDZero Monitor. Unfortunately there was also a segment not in the final edit that should have been on frame rates. I can confirm the following. HDZero 90fps The monitor can receive the 90fps footage and infact the footage you seen was from the nano 90 in 540p mode. However the display, the DVR and hdmi output all will be 60fps in this mode. The maximum display, DVR and HDMI output is 60fps and regardless of the resolution 720p. Screen Scratches. In the video the monitor is fitted with the factory screen protection film I later removed before installing the screen protector provided as later seen. The scratches you see are on the screen protection film and not the actual screen it’s self. I will add the screen is plastic and is quite soft once removed so you 100% want to use a protector with this display. Soc correction. In the video is been pointed out I said the Hdzero monitor Soc the Star SSD8339D is the same as the Hdzero goggle. This is actually incorrect and I should have said it’s the same as the Hdzero VRX V4. The HDZero Goggles use an Alwinner based chipset running Linux where as the Monitor and VRX use Arm based SOC. Thanks Mad.

[@chrisreece8564]

This is what I was curious about thanks for the update!

[@lightsailfpv]

thanks for clarifying :) does the nano 90 stutter when displaying in 60fps on the lcd display?

[@sebcbien263]

Hi @MadRC. Thanks a lot for those important précisions 🎉

[@mikeselectricstuff]

An integrated snap-on battery with USB-C changing would have been nice, though you could use a USBC powerbank with a USBC-powerjack adapter - just not quite as neat as an integrated/internal one.

[@mikeselectricstuff]

13:20 this is the JTAG port for programming/debugging the FPGA

[@100SteveB]

Brilliant, just what I have been waiting for before switching to HD. For someone like me that can't get on with goggles this is great. And the fact it also receives analog means I don't have to change all my gear at the same time.

[@pr0digy94]

So this means there is no need for goggles in order to fly? Am I correct?

[@theutahgreenhouselearnstofpv]

@@pr0digy94 basically , but the frame rate might not be as good, or as submersive

[@peterschroedl4878]

Curious how many of us went and ordered this while watching the first 30 seconds of the video. *raises hand*

[@rasmus80g]

No hdmi in so NO... the goggles did it. Why why not the monitor...

[@peterschroedl4878]

@@rasmus80g If youre using an external VRX, there are of portable monitors out there with HDMI in - if thats your jam. Definitely not the use-case here. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I've hacked together too many variations of cheap junk, trying to achieve what this AIO monitor/VRX does, that this was a no-brainer purchase for me.

[@rasmus80g]

@@peterschroedl4878 actually no there is not many monitors with hdmi in that can do 100hz with desent nits and resolution atlest no afordable option. (If you look into proffesional camera gear yes but then you pay a prety heafty premium and not any kind of of reciver built into it... so a lot of diy for analog hdzero and caddex in one go...) Please give me some options if so. I have several monitors and al is missing something.... like I said if this monitor was like the goggles then it would be a hit now its a hit and miss...

[@RickJamesFPV]

I watched Botgrinder's video 1st. I ordered from his affiliate link because he rarely uses affiliate links.

[@buddyadkins2432]

WOW!! Yes. Now, this is just what I am looking for. So far, I am all analog. I get really decent video from the gear on my quads and believe the de-interlacer to bring that right up to almost excellent. Plus, I would be able to move up to HD digital (HDZero of course) for some of my builds. As an advantage, I am moving away from actual goggles and going for a tri-pod mounted monitor. Interestingly, this solves a couple of issues, not the least of which, being able to fly (FPV) without a spotter. I have already checked this. No spotter needed if the monitor is not worn on the head (goggles or headset). Thank You and definitely Thank HDZero.

[@BenjiNotknown]

I have an old HeadplayHD headset with hdmi-in and have been waiting for something like this. I'm a screen flyer first, and goggles flyer later, i like to take off and look at my position, orientation, quad view all at the same time to help me get bearings, then once i know where everything is i will put the goggles on, having something like this would be a nice combination of both in one unit just plug a hdmi into my goggles for HD fpv. I'm looking forward to trying this out.

[@gmivisualsjason3729]

Just ordered one....... Great addition to the Hdzero products

[@ArturoEuler]

Thank you for the great video! Can it display a 90fps feed? Does it consume less power than the goggles?

[@GK-dd5ci]

+ the HDMI latency is really important

[@mrityunjay1234]

This is really interesting. Wondering if the HDMI out can be used in the walksnail goggles x as input and this becomes an all in one solution to bring walksnail, analog with recording to those goggles. Not sure how the latency will be and how clunky the contraption will look.

[@DanoFPV]

Have you happen to have tested the hdmi out latency? Say… for plugging into walksnail goggles X?

[@fredio54]

Can you please measure the power consumption at full brightness while recording DVR from an hdzero vtx? Trying to establish the best battery to get for it. Cheers.

[@MadRC]

Will do

[@newbiefpv]

Wonder is that possible hdmi output to goggles X,? And how is latency

[@lightsailfpv]

ooo thanks for doing this video been waiting for this one ever sinze they showed it at IO :)

[@shoofly]

Does the HDMI out allow for 540p90 output? Currently only the goggles have been able to display 540p90 (VRX’s only show it as 540p60)

[@MadRC]

I hdmi like the screen is 60fps max.

[@typxxilps]

I was about to buy an HD Zero but then Avata 2 has been released and I bet I will wait a bit more. DJI sales are slower than back then the avata 1 sales and the whole DJI wholesale volume has decreased in the 3rd biggest market for dji. So I hope that they will release the next airunit soon and then will go for good sales in winter. Meanwhile I will get now a used unit cause they have become really cheap compared to a new HD zero system which is also none used available across the country .

[@MCsCreations]

Awesome flying and review, Ian! 😃 Pretty nice little device! Too bad the analog part doesn't have diversity, but... Well, we can't have everything. Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@skyrotfpv]

Perfect! Thank xpu HDZero! 🔥🙌🔥

[@gonebdg]

Potentially to be developed as HDZ DIY or low budget fpv box goggle. Let see if there will be a 3d print file for the DIY box goggle housing or maybe HDZ will allow the skyzone & eachine to develop & produce of their own.

[@theflyinggrip]

Does the cvsb input benefit from the same upscale that the analog does?

[@sUASNews]

Back to the future

[@BOTGRINDER]

Are we the only people that got this for review? i only see your video and mine lol.

[@chrisreece8564]

Do you know what Hz the monitor is? Is it just 60? Doesn't say on the hd-zero website.

[@smika710]

Can I hook this up to my skyzone goggles x to fly hdzero?

[@gmivisualsjason3729]

This would be great to have for cyclists. The screen could be placed on the handle bars and a rear camera set up for live viewing of what's happening behind.

[@icp-trek]

What if HDZERO was DJI or the reverse. Simply the best of everything.

[@flipfpv]

What's the benefit of deinterlacing in the analog feed? I still see the usual stair-stepping on any straight lines that are not perfectly horizontal/vertical. If I recall, our analog VTXs only send half of the analog video fields, hence the crappy 720x240 resolution we get, instead of the standard NTSC interlaced 720x480 resolution. So what exactly is it "deinterlacing"?

[@nikleiser5888]

Which cameras did you use for analog ? Did I miss that section of the review ?

[@MadRC]

Trex.

[@stinerivera2543]

Is the dvr also 60fps?

[@gregorydahl]

No bind button ?

[@rccosplay3249]

Sorry to go off topic but the Walksnail goggles X are back in stock. Should I get them or keep my Skyzone 03Os and O4X V2 as I have both, with the Walksnail Rx attached to it?? I want the big FOV and OLED, bright basically what everybody else wants. So, Goggles X or use the Skyzones? Again sorry for going off topic but the Goggles won't stay in stock too long and this channel is awesome so I figured I'd ask.

[@lemonsquareFPV]

If you NEED them right now get them… but if you can wait until the new version in August, wait for that.

[@TERBANGFPV]

what if we fly 1080p? the monitor only view and record it in 720p?

[@P.G._FPV]

This doesn't excite me at all but... my brother flys with a monitor sometimes so I sent him this review video. 😁

[@sweetpoison4228]

This is perfect for the goggle haters

[@ottokueng4236]

Why the front is so scrached?

[@kb7yim960]

Why is the screen all scratched up?

[@MadRC]

The screen is not scratched. That’s the screen protection film from the factory, that did come with marks however the screen is fine.

[@kokaytblock]

Did the monitor come that scratchy looking? Is it like that in person or is that a lighting/camera effect?

[@Voyajer.]

Looks like a plastic screen protector or a peel to me

[@MadRC]

That is the screen protector film. It’s not the screen its self.

[@hamlonhamlonsson505]

Will this one work witha Walksnail Moonlight?

[@KidCe.]

this is hdzero not walksnail...

[@andrebullitt7212]

will it allow the 90fps?

[@MadRC]

Yes it’s shows the 90 and plays back at 60fps from the DVR.

[@andrebullitt7212]

Thanks 😊​@@MadRC

[@piotrpaszpor5466]

Caddx should make something like this

[@Quad_Father]

I just wonder if the market size of that little niche is enough to sustain HDZERO.

[@TheCarl1206]

Thanks. HDZero sales is pretty strong if I am honest.

[@IanBeaty]

Do you know if this will be available locally from US distributors, or do we need to order it directly from HDZero?

[@JoshuaBardwell]

Hdzero has a California warehouse although not all products shop from it all the time.

[@IanBeaty]

@@JoshuaBardwell Thank you! I think I saw in Ryan Qullet's video that we can order it from Flite Test.

[@carlosfuhrer]

quick question can i plug this to a fatshark hd3 (via hdmi input) to use it as a hdzero vrx?

[@killingfields5853]

No

[@dr0n3droid]

Why not ​@@killingfields5853? It has HDMI out, goggles have HDMI in...what am I missing here?

[@soeingecko6460]

No DVR playback on the monitor was a huge disappointment on my side, would not even have considered, that it can not play the dvr footage on the device.

[@McShakyFPV]

My hdz goggles format the sd card so my MAC cannot see it. I get eject, initialize or eject. Does this have the same problem?

[@mwhizzler476]

Format it on your Mac

[@benkitesurfs]

I move SD card from my HDZ goggles to my Mac all the time - never had a problem.

[@McShakyFPV]

@@benkitesurfs I can too if I don’t use the goggles to format them.

[@malnasimon7041]

Couldn't you take out the VRX and build a hybrid goggle?

[@malnasimon7041]

Oh nevermind

[@Robert-ug8uu]

Scratch proof screen?

[@MadRC]

No

[@axm2689]

So the lack on an HDMI-IN is a massive disappointment. Can the usb-c accept video in somehow?

[@MadRC]

No

[@ecoaventurasdelistmo]

NO NEED FOR 500$ GOOGLES anymore?? is there a bind a fly with an 85mm a controller and that tiny monitor?? this can bring back drone fly to its prime, no more paywall with bunch of batteries maybe running off the remote control battery , can youcome up with a cheap combo for people who dont like the googles

[@rasmus80g]

Hit and miss... no hdmi input for hi fps. Like to try ruby and also perhaps connect caddx vrx... there is still no rule them all monitor... bought the hdzero goggles just because they work with everything.... why why Why not make the monitor the same. Any company that release a monitor with caddx or hdzero built in and also support the other will have my money...

[@BabyKnxckz]

If you fly with the monitor that would count as flying los right? Also its just nice to have so other ppl can see what ur seeing eithout needing extra goggles and broadcasting and stuff like that

[@killingfields5853]

No

[@RiloFPV]

3d printers....make this a box goggles and we gucciiii🤪🤪🤪🤪

[@technicalsupport6983]

What is nits800 means ??

[@dr0n3droid]

Nits is the standard unit for measuring screen brightness. It is a unit of luminance, equivalent to one candela per square meter (cd/m2).

[@technicalsupport6983]

@@dr0n3droid but we need good resolution. .....and luminance .right 👍

[@PROPVOS]

sadly only 2 antennas like emax goggles.. 4 antennas will make it way better.. but more price

[@catbroh]

When you want to HDZero whoop on the bigscreen TV

[@dstepsfpv]

it dont have menu???so its not possible to watch the DVR records in the field? only pluging the SD card in other device to access the footage, right?????....

[@pr0digy94]

So this means there is no need for goggles in order to fly? Am I correct? I want to fly, but goggles aren’t an option for me

[@Dorff_Meister]

Could that screen be more of a mess? I hope that's just the plastic film.

[@MadRC]

Yes that’s the film.

[@DigitalCruzer]

Mads should review a skyzone m5 monitor.... Wow what a peice of crap!!! Needs hdmi or av out, dvr is as bad as any, and they couldn't even bother to line up the slot in the case for the sd card to go in and out correctly, i had to dig mine out with a tiny screwdriver after inserting it... The case is like 2mm off from lining up with the trey inside. Then it has a power bug... What an awful product!!! Told them my issues and that i wanted to return it and they basically told me to pound sand and stopped replying to my emails, so i opened a PayPal claim cuz i bought it directly from skyzone, they never answered so i had to escalate... These fov companies are so terrible!!! Wish i knew this was coming it would have suited my needs better, people bitched about the price of this, but in reality there is nothing else like it and is worth the extra bones, definitely compared to this skyzone M5 pos!!!

[@MrBornenjap]

Any information about the HDZERO goggles discount? The price is insanely higher than DJI goggles 3🔥🔥🔥

[@schweizerluchs7146]

got mine for 550 and with antennas!
