How about a video about your Mini Crossbow antenna tracker? A good video about your set-up would be very interesting. I am not only interested in how it's set-up, but I would like to understand how it works. I fly with an Frsky X18 transmitter and I have the GPS coordinates on the transmitter, and I was able to feed the GPS coordinates via bluetooth to my iPad. I am hoping to figure out how to feed it to the Mini Crossbow via bluethooth, if that's possible at all.

It's very simple though, just drop a couple of txt files on the SD card and boot the goggles. You should then get options for more power output, bitrate, and channels.

The only reason I am still on Dji v2 system is actually because live audio is possible with that system via a special WTFOS-hack. It works great! No latency to talk about.

The O3 just does not have the greatest low lighting capability, but the image is actually much much clearer. My GT doesn't want to change output power so IDK if there's something wrong with it.. but otherwise it seems to hold up with great signal until it starts meeting its first set of real obstruction. Then it severely drops to the point where any analog 5.8G vtx at about 1.5W for me is easier to navigate. In comparison, the O3 does it without even complaining and gives me perfect image the entire time. The processing power is just superior and it doesn't even get as hot.

Moonlight Pros: 4K, excellent results from Gyroflow with minimal effort, as much power/range as the other 1200mW VTXs which is adequate for most. Moonlight Cons: Gets pretty warm, even in standby, like most of the Walksnail VTXs. Costs a few dollars more than the GT/Pro Kit. GT Pros: Super low power standby lets it run cooler, especially with the fan, and quicker GPS locks. More power for a slight increase in range. Costs a few dollars less than the Moonlight, slightly better low light performance with the Pro camera than the Moonlight GT Cons: Low power standby has limited range, 1080p max vs 4K, Pro camera doesn't stabilize as good with Gyroflow, even with a fair amount of tweaking trying to get things synced and working well.

@@awerks12 Its actually feels quite good in a wing setup... with the 5inch , its also ok if you are not flying hardcore bando style. Even in my whoop its ok although if im doing fast rounds with hard turns on my living room track im getting somewhat seasick after the 4th lipo if i make no pause in between lol I dont want to shell out good money for them crappy goggles from walksnail. Waiting for a proper version 2 / next gen model goggles & hope they get their shit together finally xD

Testing a fpv product on a fixed wing... where penetration is not a factor. No wonder you got a review copy 😂

@@bonafidepirate fixed wing fpv undoubtedly came first, but it doesn't represent the use case for the core consumers in their market. If anything, you posting this review first just gaslights consumers into thinking the solution to their failed gogglesx launch is buying more products that just mask the flaws in the core of their current gen platform.

@@robjackson2731I don't think the GT would fit on a whoop....or are you assuming that 5inch freestyle is the core consumer use? I think it's been clear from the beginning that walksnail are trying to cater for more than just generic quad use.

Penetration an long range? Have you ever been farther than 5km? No line of sight, no range dude?
