As an audio visual technician by trade I was amazed that everyone flew analogue FPV when I started in the hobby 4 years ago. I wondered why digital wasn’t a thing! but I was still hooked on FPV flying. The joy faded quickly but I stuck with the hobby and when the DJI digital system came out, FPV suddenly became everything I wanted from the start. I became much more invested in the hobby than ever. So yes analogue has its merits but digital is the future.

[@LtRyanPYT]

'Oh look, those trees are all jacked up. And thats like super HD gangster trees' This might be the best commentary I've seen in any of your videos. Love it.

[@danimalthefirst]

Guessing you spent a lot of time figuring out how to approach this topic, and think you've handled it incredibly well. Honest, humble with a side of humility :) Don't think you missed a single pro or con. I think for a lot of the younger guys out there getting into (sadly not me) , the price point of Digital is still a pretty hard one to swallow. That will no doubt change the second DJI starts getting some competition on the goggles, then the prices will begin to fall a little more and the technology will really accelerate.

[@MrSteeleFPV]

🙏🏼. This video took a lot of thought. Way more that I’m willing to admit haha

[@joshgoesflying2828]

I can see how much more confident you are on the analogue, there is definitely an application for both, I love digital and I can freestyle it absolutely fine. Will be really interesting to see how you feel about freestyle with digital in 6 months time. It's like everything in life, changing jobs, cars etc, you are most comfortable with what you know the most.

[@filiped7298]

I’m not on digital because.... I can’t afford it. 🤣

[@bfattori01]

First from DJI, soon to be followed. I think that the next success will be a more optimized compression algorithm that isn't limited to focus mode. Oculus did something interesting with distorted rendering that uses less pixels and works with the human optical system to fake things that aren't necessary for quality at speed. If DJI doesn't do it, someone else will because now we've seen what's possible - it'll only get better. And, prices will come down because imitators and licensors will get in on the act. Vista is just a taste of what's possible

[@joeliuscaesar5399]

I enjoyed this video Steele. It's so strange to me that people can be so rude when someone takes a deeper look at something they were opinionated about and decides they were wrong or too harsh, and has integrity enough to say so - I respect that. I can confirm your finishing statement, I started FPV maybe a year before DJI FPV came, and I bought from the cheaper end of goggles for analog. I really liked the idea of getting into the sky and looking around, however with analog it never felt immersive enough with the break-up and the quality of image. If not for DJI FPV I would have left the hobby, for sure.

[@originafreerangechicken]

This video is so damn good on every level. Ive been loving analog. I’m still learning to fly fpv. Literally have the unopened DJI V2 goggles sitting on my lap but I’m in no hurry. Here’s why- tiny whoops are a blast and bad ass basher analog quads are literally half the price of digital.

[@mikebergman1817]

Most people watching this will agree that this sums up the analog vs digital dilemma perfectly. I think a lot of newer people in fpv still wont understand completely, but will still appreciate the honesty. Reason being, is something I heard JB talk about when testing CRSF shot. When going from a latency that you're used to into a faster latency, it doesn't affect your reaction time in a negative way. Going from the latency you're used to, into slower latency will always be noticeably worse. Going from an Frsky radio link to CRSF shot won't have any negative effects on reaction time, but going from a CRSF shot link to an FRsky link messes with your reaction time a LOT, especially when you fly CRSF shot on the daily. They both have their strengths, and I still roll with my HD02's as well as my DJI setup. Nuance is an important thing to understand, in every aspect of daily life.. Unless you're cool with being pissed off all the time.. lol. Thanks for the non fanboy explanation Steele!

You flying this on Kevin's stream made me make the switch haha

[@jonathanp639]

I know. When people asked me why you haven’t switch I always felt confident saying Mr steel still flies analog. Now I have not more valid excuses but to admit that I’m too broke to spend 700$

Your attitude towards consistency is what makes you the badass pilot that you are. I admire that to the fullest. Being open minded enough to try new things without sacrificing your ideals and your rock solid consistency is what makes people admire and look up to you. Great video brother. I would love to see a build video on how to build your quad with the digital air unit. Keep ripping bro! 🤘⚔🚁✈

[@dannydheaton2765]

Very informative man. Especially for me an intermediate pilot who just did his first FPV flight today. For Christmas I got myself a pair of EV800 and binded with my Hubsan H501s which was beyond awesome. If you saw this 11 acre property its full of nooks and crannies with cargo containers all over on a commercially vacant property my boss has us stay on for various reasons. I obviously will be going digital once my feet are fully saterated with analog. But eventually wont everyone be digital once all the limitations are busted with digital? I think so. There's the price tag as well which plainly I'm just not there yet. But I will keep striving and learning and watching yer channel as well as the others I care to watch. You rock dude, but you know that already.... L8R Wikkid

[@adrianglessner5979]

Your flying is bonkers m8. Dji got me hooked on flying drones with my Mini 2. I am totally hooked. I am getting into fpv now all because of Dji, they make it soo easy

[@emmaoliver2024]

For people who have slowly invested in the best analogue equipment its not an option to just swap everything to dji system. Its all expensive. Maybe one day

"I can see that this tree is skechty ... and I'm gonna stay away from the sketchy tree!" faaack sketchy trees lol

[@tried2live]

Very well said. I'm glad you spent some time with digital to see where it does work well, even though it's not perfect for your main type of flying. I started out with analog less than a year ago and I just didn't enjoy it as much. I live in an area with lots of trees like you, and I was constantly hitting branches because I couldn't see them coming. Since I was new, my reactions were slow and I couldn't bail quickly. Because of that, I would fly occasionally, but I never really enjoyed it. I decided to give digital a try because I already had several hundred bucks in gear and really wanted to enjoy using it. It totally changed the hobby for me. While there may be latency, the difference for me was that I could see the branches coming from much further away, and had much more time to react. I think having that confidence ramped up my learning curve substantially, and has made me a MUCH better pilot. Now when I occasionally do go back to analog for some of my smaller quads, I fly them much better just from having gained the confidence from the digital system.

[@MrSteeleFPV]

That’s what counts. If you’re not having fun you won’t fly FPV for long. I’m glad you stuck with it and are happy with digital :)

[@sluj49]

Just bought my first pair of goggles and went analog on Steele's advice in a video from a year ago or whatever and this comes out the next day. Not his fault but still funny. Much love Steele.

[@MrSteeleFPV]

You’ll love analog. Seriously. And you’ll Be able able to interact with more experienced people on average. Most propel that have been doing this for a good while all still fly analog. And racers for sure. HD really brings in the masses. So most flyers are new and have little knowledge about what there are doing.

[@sluj49]

​@@MrSteeleFPV That all makes sense. I totally still feel confident about the analog goggles from everything I've learned so far. Thanks for the encouragement man and your flying is mad. I have been diving in to this hobby fast and I don't know anyone that is in to RC or any electronics hobby so every question I have goes to the web. You taking the time means a lot. Cheers.

[@msulkey]

I agree. To me it’s kind of like the RC airplane flying style differences, you can fly 3D, or just simply fly basic sport, or enjoy both. Each have their technologies that go along with them. Each can be very fun.

[@jman7770]

For newcomers getting into the digital fpv system, with the dji controller... In betaflight CLI, enter “set SBUS_baud_fast = on” followed by “Save”. Ensure your goggles are set to SBUS Fast as well, to take advantage of that juicy 7ms controller-drone response time. note, you must have your battery plugged in for the air unit to get power. If you don’t, nothing on the receiver tab will work since you don’t have power to the Rx/Tx to begin with.

[@MegaTerribleone]

Great way to explain the two systems

If Steel is in im in.

before this video, i was 90% sure of which system to get, now im 100% sure. Thanks Mr Steele

Thanks for finally giving the DJI system an honest try and seeing how much it's improved since initial release, and what it is amazing at. Glad you're enjoying it!

I can hear it now “SELL OUT He’s getting paid!!” Lol. Thanks for your take on it and the flight comparison. 👍🏽. Very useful.

[@MrSteeleFPV]

Lol if I was getting paid that would be great. But haha I’m not. I basically just shot my analog drone gear sales in the foot. Just because I think this tech is great for new pilots and commercial applications. At the end of the day the whole idea is to get people excited about FPV and to “stay excited.” And I think analog discourages a lot of new pilots

@@MrSteeleFPV I've pulled a few FPV friends out of 'rut' by converting them to DJI. Keeping it fun 'stay excited' FTW my dude!

Mad respect Steele. Just got a my set of DJI and can attest to that fact that they are both different beasts. I think it's fair that you were talking bad on it before because it wasn't the greatest when it first came out but with the updates it is getting better.
