Switching from DJI to Walksnail Avatar - My setup, tweaks and range / penetration test

DJI are the kind of company who want to sell you something every year or two, and that bugs me, i also recently discovered whoops and you just cant do it with DJI, so i was cautious and got myself a set of Caddx Walksnail Avatar goggles, a BetaFPV Meteor 75 and three pro v2 VTXs for my 5 inch kwads.
Taken me a long time to switch things over but man am i happy. For me in every way its better than my v1 DJI, same latency, way better video, and super comfy so its i'm chuffed.
Made a lot of changes to the goggles including antennas, straps, foam and more so i made a video along the way. Hope you can put up with my dull voice rambling but any questions let me know.
I'm not a Walksnail fanboy i still think o3 is better video quality - not by much, and i get why lot of people will stick with them, i also have no intention of stopping using my GoPro, so for me this is my weapon of choice!

But....many people talk it bad range and penetration power...how you do for avoid it???🤔

[@genericfpv]

It’s a fair question and I was very nervous as well, that’s why I didn’t sell my dji until I’d had them for a bit. I think the penetration on WS at 1200 is better than dji at 700 def, so I have upped my power, but at 1200 and the trueRC patch and omnis I fly everything the same as I have before. I don’t know but I think the old ws firmware was crap 🙃 I love it as it is today. What are you currently using?

[@humbertocortes68]

@@genericfpv Thanks...I currently use dji at 1200mw with the latest mjolnir antennas, but I'm not satisfied with the penetration and range in certain structures and areas with trees. I congratulate you on your courage to experiment. It is a good reference and contribution for others in this complicated world of FPV

[@genericfpv]

Complicated is the right word, if you are already on dji and using mjolnir nothing to gain stick as you are, o3 may do better with goggles 2 but real world all 3 are really close. The mjolnir looks AWESOME thanks again for the watch!

[@KrotowX]

During collecting info about Walksnail I came to conclusion that stock omni antennas bundled with first Avatar google batches, was the largest reason of bad penetration. Recently Avatar googles started to came with new omni antennas named "Red Bird". These perform much better. Red Bird antennas are also available separately in RC shops. Also you can use another better LHCP omni antenas instead of stock ones. And I'm pretty sure that DJI Mjolnir antennas will perform much better than stock ones on Avatar googles as well.

[@humbertocortes68]

@@KrotowX thx. Very good info for begining on this new fpv system.

[@NathansHVAC]

I converted to dji o3. I previously used V1 and V2. O3 is amazing detail. Even at the edge of signal, the detail is true HD crisp clear compared to highly compressed blur.

[@genericfpv]

Good stuff 🤘

[@sunsetpark_fpv]

"highly compressed blur" 🤣

[@babc142]

And when you go over the edge, you'll never recover your video link, because O3 drops into low power mode upon link loss 💩

​@@babc142I found that out the hard way. big turn off .. does WS suffer the same fate?

[@genericfpv]

It def recovers in bandos, or if someone plugs in on you as I found out this weekend 😒 you can turn standby off which is like pit mode

[@BMFPV]

Great review! Very informative! Think I'm going to go for the scout HD goggles at some point, those Walksnail whoops are getting irresistible 👍

[@kingkieck]

I'm still running analogue, but feel its almost time for me to upgrade. I continue to be heavily undecided on which system to choose over the 3 upgrades. Thanks for shedding a lil light on the matter.

It’s so tough, because Im mad on whoops it was the only option, if I only flew 5” would be much tougher choice 😬

[@batmojuice5704]

Nice tip about the tape on the SD card. That was my biggest gripe about the goggles.

[@genericfpv]

I’d love to take the credit but someone I stole it from someone else, no idea why WS didn’t improve that but hope they do on the next version! Cheers

[@KrotowX]

Thanks about Walksnail capability demonstration. I'm now in switching from DJI to Walksnail due to lighter VTX, 1S VTX availability for my whoops, better compatibility with Betaflight and less fear to become kicked out when DJI will replace their ecosystem to something new and incompatible again. Seen few Avatar HD Pro camera videos with evening flying - that is exactly what I want :) Visibility seems better than Vista Polar camera have.

[@genericfpv]

Yeah since this video my love for WS has only got more! Cheers

[@DrFrantic77]

Welcome bro, still love Walksnail

[@genericfpv]

It’s ace, def happy 👍 cheers for the watch!

[@Magneticitist]

Yea.. I think the O3 maybe has the best handling of penetration but when it comes to low lighting situations it doesn't much matter cause you can't hardly see anything.

[@ogpennywise]

I also think O3 has the best aperture for night time. I get decent video out of it at night. But my Cat camera still is better.

[@crazicat]

Went with Walksnail system with Fatshark goggles as my first digital after flying analog for years. Am very happy I picked WS. Have NewBeeDrone HD02 foam and Foxeer antennas on goggles and factory antennas on VTXs, works great for me.

[@genericfpv]

Ooh I’ll checkout the NBD foam thanks, only think not quite right currently thanks

[@mrmagoo600]

How did the latency effect you when you went from analogue on the fat sharks to walksnail

[@genericfpv]

@@mrmagoo600 I still have my fat sharks and fly analog weekly (whoops), I’m lucky I cannot tell the difference with latency between any digital vs analog. In the goggles it shows you latency and between 22-30 I cannot feel it even when fast and proxy, above 35 it’s horrible but in the same way you feel a spot for signal you do the same on digital and you know where the bad spots are and don’t fly there. Dji/walksnail range in a bando is infinitely better and the thing I struggled with going to digital was not being able to hear the motor/throttle and getting that feedback I missed it but have adjusted now. Still love putting on my fat sharks but digital is crazy good and hard to come back from!

[@mrmagoo600]

@@genericfpv wicked thanks man I’ve only every flown anlog, HDO2s, foxeer T-Rex with 1500tv, 3ms screen to screen (so the specs say) the image is really good. Unify Evo as I like the audio, on 800mw. Im generally happy with it. Considering and searching considering again if I want to switch, it’s between HDZ or Walksnail. Walksnail wins I think for image and penetration, HDZ for low latency feel which will be closer to what I currently fly, but because I’ve never flown a digital system of any type apart from a couple minutes once of DJI out in front of myself in a car park different rates etc the image looked as good as anlog I wasn’t able to get good enough perspective for it so I can’t speak how digital truly feels. IDK 🤷‍♂️ I’ll keep investigating 😂 Thanks again man appreciate the feedback

Makes me happy to see someone converting FROM DJI instead of TO DJI 😎 Very good advertisement for the power of the Walksnail system.

[@genericfpv]

yeah still no regrets switching, cant see me going back, had some issues but they have all been me and soldering, i do think the vistas are bombproof but i love the goggles and 1s and it simply not being dji, getting a v3 1s vtx in next few days and sounds like will be more sturdy, cheers!

I have put all of my WS stuff on the shelf and am converting everything to O3. It's that much better.

[@matthacker2043]

thanks for the solid review/comparison.

[@FATSNAIL-FPV]

On the vtx: lollipop 4+ Goggles: TrueRC stubbies/ the set of patches you had on and TrueRC stubbies on top. Happy with WS so far, but the v1 vtx's sometimes just die. Still have to instal a v2 with pro cam and use the solder pads, as the v1 plug connection sometimes bends the prongs if you're not carefull. Also the usb u can ad to the v2 is a smart idea, to bad they didn't have it built in but maybe they'll come up with a V3 vtx that is internal usbc. Ditched analog for Walksnail first, and got HDzero fir racing and whoops, happy with both so far. Only flying for 2 years now lol.

[@genericfpv]

WS and HDzero - dream team 🤤 def gonna get some lollipops def sound much better!

Really thinking about switching as well

[@Simofly]

Switched too from dji to avatar one year ago! Subscribed 👍 I don’t like dji commercial policies even if the system is better ( but it’s not night and day lately ) , O3 is still a compromise if you want to use it as an action cam to record footage or you are flying in dark spots imo

[@genericfpv]

Maybe new WS goggles tomorrow 👀 - the vtx they announced last week is marked as 4k compatible, the gap for WS and o3 getting smaller! Cheers

[@FS_Performance]

Do you like DJI or Walksnail more? I am thinking about switching from Walksnail to DJI...

[@genericfpv]

its personal preference and what you fly, DJI is great, i have no intentions of going back and i love all the new stuff walksnail bring out, i have WS whoops, up to 2w long range VTXs and they are half the price of o3. That said vistas are bomb proof and o3 is super pretty so its just different🤷‍♀

[@derivas007]

for me the only one reason i didint buy walksnail is that is not inclued with rx protocol like dji 03 did!!so you need to add extra tx...i priest they are going to integrate elrs protocole directly

[@genericfpv]

I’ve recently switched to elrs, if they did integrate I would go mental, would be amazing!

[@Braincho]

Nice video. Are those old goggles of Walksnail - the dominator if I remember correctly? What would you say about goggles X? Also is it possible to have analog module on Walksnail so i can use my old whoops with them(don't want to keep analog goggles and have 2 pairs - I want to have just one to fit all my needs)

[@genericfpv]

thanks! yes these are the original fatshark/walksnail googles and i still love them and had no issues since making this video, i have a friend with the X and hes very happy and had no problems, being transparent the internet has videos of people saying they have issues - but i haven't met one in the flesh, so im sure no smoke without fire but i "think" it was more on the early release, they changed the heat sink on ones they have been shipping recently. Analog yes you can get a module for the X but there are def some downsides to it, biggest is no DVR recording :( personally i still have a dedicated goggles for whoops, while its good you can - its too compromised for me. No analog at all possible on my version of the goggles - only the X. thanks

[@Braincho]

@@genericfpv Thank you for quick respond and honest opinion! Would like to ask you what type of analog goggles you use and what would you recommend me to get or better to switch to Walksnail and keep(use) old crap box for analog? I'm currently using EV800D Eachine box goggles. they are kind of nice, but I have some link(range/penetration) issues, at least i think so. If you have 15-20sec spare to look at my video to see what kind of video signal I have from how far(I'm next to the car) kzbin.info/www/bejne/hqu9dqOZbZyVnKssi=z5yZfJNVNd2pwjUn&t=24 ( at around 0:40 you can see how far I was flying) (Eachine TX526 VTX), and help me out with advice on how to fix my problem, make better connection or new goggles I guess( not the top end... budget is a bit of a factor here) Thanks!

[@genericfpv]

@@Braincho very tough to answer, for me i fly bandos so penetration is first. So walksnail and DJI are 1st choice for me, but ive really got into whoops so i need lightweight and range isnt a issue so analog/hdz is perfect. so for me i have just got the HDZ goggles but you can pickup any skyzone or fatsharks for great prices now. it doesn't look like your setup is bad, not sure buying high end analog goggles and antennas would change it much - trees would do the same on my hdz - but digital wouldn't be a issue and keep going. It would be wrong for me to say x/y/z but it could boil down to how far do you want to fly away from yourself, i never go far as im gonna crash doing flippy flops 😅 a lot of my choices have been more about comfort/enjoyment. would it make you a better pilot etc. you seem like your having fun, and a lot of pilots going back to analog. Good problems to have and wish i could say "just buy this"

[@Braincho]

​@@genericfpvThank you for your time to stay here and explain it all! When I just fly around, I don't need to go far, but sometimes I want to go into some wild beautiful nature - low hills, lakes, rivers, forest, etc... there I will need some range and penetration. That's why I was wondering if I should go Walksnail system for 3.5"-5" to have good video performance and better look of what you actually see to enjoy it more, but have some module foe analog so I don't buy separate expensive goggles just for whoops(or use my old box for whoops). The plan B was to get at high side of analog for everything... so still didn't decide it(not sure which way worth it). Or DJI goggles V2 with analog module, but they don't sell it anymore , hard to find, and not sure if I want them second hand... Thanks again! Have a good one!

[@yaronskp]

You are a great pilot! What about lag? You seem to fly very fast without an issue... Do you change rates for it or just adjusted over time?

@@genericfpv ahhh just anything better than my avata really. About 500m goggles start to lose signal quickly. Really just after 2km if that.

500m should be no problems, most standard 5” kwads will do 1-2km easily in open spaces easily. Trees kill range so maybe try flying but higher? Search on YT for “dji o3 long Range” some guy does 7km up a mountain! So I think your issue may be more environment/quad than goggles

[@Vousie]

Where did you do the range/penetration test? I only saw a low-light test. And on the goggle DVR I saw no breakup at all, which is a bit odd too.

[@genericfpv]

it was the same time as the low light, i went up 3 floors and about 100m, as comparison my friend on analog cannot fly past floor 1 and about 75m. 5:20 & 5:55 is where the signal drops. The way walksnail and dji record the footage is there is no breakup but you get latency and then it catches up on its self, in the goggles we see it as a stutter/lag. on the dvr it records all the frames in order so there is no lag/anything to see. the only way to actually see what i see is it i recorded it with a capture card. the bad spot happened on both dji and ws so neither did better or worse. and it was flyable because i was expecting it, thats the area i go to to stress test stuff, it fail safes on tracer in the same spot. Crossfire handles it no problems and yet to try ELRS there. I have a capture card so i will try and record it soon as now you mentioned it, thats good to see/compare, thanks

[@Vousie]

@@genericfpv I've seen recordings from DJI & Walksnail. They don't just "stutter and lag". They also get digital break up - like the bitrate has suddenly dropped to less than KZbin's 240p mode. Then some streaking too. Your video has none of that, which was really strange.

@@Vousienot too sure what to say, i don't get that.

It was the same for DJI pilots. I got a capture card recently and im going to use that on the goggle in the next few weeks to do a video on race mode.

I've seen more videos in the last two months about people switching to WS from DJI, but haven't seen an increase in actual WS videos. Is that because everyone is just saying that because they are getting free stuff to review? Or are they just forgetting to record when they go out flying with all this WS gear? I find it strange that so many people have "switched" yet we have very few videos backing up these "actions". I find it more plausible that you are all eating crow after touting such an inferior product as good. WS should still be under testing, it is alpha at best. HDZ is closer to beta than WS but still under development. The image and range are horrible, especially on WS. But I do look forward to seeing some quality images come out of WS, I have yet to do so, and I have 5 WS quads. Just finished watching your video, and like all WS videos, mine included, it is barely better than almost all analog offerings. And analog has better penetration.

the more videos you watch on a subject the more YT recommends them to you 😐glad you have setups you like, happy flying

Don't believe these reviews! JI on Vichy's head, I bought myself a new G and an avatar - an avatar of shit with a bunch of problems. The picture will be liked only by those who have just switched from analogue .. the quality of communication even with third-party antennas is nonsense. Barely sold them.

[@genericfpv]

Not a review, load of friends asked me how I got on so made this video. Walksnail not for everyone but glad you found right system for you, cheers

[@jimmytheriot8978]

You must of got a bad set , I own all three systems and only fly walksnail now , I've been out 7miles so far with walksnail no problem

[@zuldanfpv4634]

My Walksnail system (using Goggles) works perfectly.

[@kanaposd]

@@jimmytheriot8978 the fact is that this is not an isolated case, the units burn out, the connection is hoarse .. if you are satisfied that the freeze is where the ji has a clear picture - use it, I know that I hardly sold this shit. And many of my acquaintances, having played, also got rid of them. Perhaps you fly in the fields and forests, but where there is even the slightest radio interference, they hoot.

[@jimmytheriot8978]

Yeah!

[@OneLovePsych]

Bro you should’ve upgraded to the V2 or integra. Never seen ANYONE move from DJI to Walksnail in my life, that’s insanity.

[@genericfpv]

🤷‍♂️ can’t get o3 whoops, not ones I can freestyle. I’m happy with it and fly all same spots as mates on o3. Cheers for the watch ❤

[@fpvsmurf]

I'm another. I dropped DJI for walksnail ...long ago! Initially walksnail was lackluster..has gotten waaay better.

[@zuldanfpv4634]

I’ve seen a ton of people move from DJI to Walksnail. It’s more common than you think.

[@Kaz-ni5ym]

Two words: tiny whoops

[@genericfpv]

@@Kaz-ni5ym 100% - im doing IGOW and learning so much (and in crunch HD) thanks bud!

[@JaydenLawson]

Awesome. Also on the Walksnail train and won't be buying DJI

[@siniestrorave]

DHI sucks!!! walksnail is awesome and 4 all!!!

[@genericfpv]

i don't wanna get tribal - but yeahhhhhhhhhhh :D

[@siniestrorave]

Walksnail is awesome, DJI sucks!

[@genericfpv]

😁i do agree - but i think its still an awesome system, any of us are lucky to be flying any of the systems! i put my mates v2 goggles on again the other day and i had forgotten how big the screens are like imax, but then i put mine back on and forgot about it right away again :P cheers

[@siniestrorave]

@@genericfpv DJI es muy caro y no tienen 1S, no vale la pena. Walksnail esta creciendo y les va a abarcar todo el mercado, es cuestion de tiempo...nadie compra DJI ya salvo que no sepa nada
