Walksnail fpv is unflyable in this state | Digital fpv

[@BOTGRINDER]

I want caddx and hdzero to do well so i will be waiting for further updates and giving walksnail another chance, im not going to write the system off completely at this early stage but if hdzero can fix the penetration issue it will come out on top imo.

[@parkswreckfpv3547]

Love the honesty! with all the KZbinrs out there praising the system it's good to see more perspectives on things

[@Pgleamy42]

Thanks for this real life review Botgrinder. I’ve been flying my Nazgul5 on analogue since I got into fpv almost 3 years ago and it just works and is fun without any BS. Your vids are honest and have a lot of good info and are entertaining +++. Thanks!

[@mediaoutlaws]

I’ve pretty well decided to wait til this winter to consider an hd option. I’m pulling for hdzero to be the winner. Especially since they’ve already been involved in our tiny trainer winter series races

[@KOrnhOliO1]

Good idea, bad time to buy. Too much still to come.

[@baggszilla]

And with the HDZero Goggles coming out HDZero will be the best option after analog.

[@W113bm]

Totally agree with Botgrinder, analogue is more then enough to fly and enjoy flying without compromises for now.

[@madsinner1737]

I absolutely LOVE my v1 DJI goggles. Never had an issue. But I also don’t do quick twitchy freestyle. It’s perfect for cinematic runs. Plus my $13 URUAV adapter has the same latency as an analog pair of goggles and you get the best of both worlds at half the cost.

[@WickedWaysfpv7087]

never have any of those weird issues with my dji goggles and my Vista but this system is still very new so we will have to see how it turns out. All I know is analog makes its feel less real with all the static no matter what you do and I've never been able to see or feel any extra latency between the two

[@W113bm]

@@WickedWaysfpv7087 You didn't get my point, I'm not taking about advantages or disadvantages of digital, I am just stating that for some people analogue is more then enough. I have flown DJI v1, great image, but for me it is not that important.

[@WickedWaysfpv7087]

@@W113bm I agree analog is plenty to fly for anyone, it just doesn't give me that I'm actually in the drone feeling like the clearer dji system

[@kianfurniture7624]

This what I like about you Bot your honesty, your our blacksheep hero in the FPV world, no BS no clickbate... please do another Edibles review ! man haven't laughed so much in ages.

[@shields-upfpv4873]

There's a cool hack for when you're tired of flying the same place. I tried it a couple years ago and it's a trip! Most fpv cameras have a menu system where you can reverse (mirror) the image. Reverse the camera then in your controller, reverse roll and yaw so your quad flies left when you move sticks right. It will fly like normal under the goggles but the area your flying in is also reversed. Give it a try!

[@franckchaplain3861]

Terrific idea 😳 ==> 👍

[@Alf-Dee]

That feels like “New game +” in videogames! Sick! 😎

[@raddestkidever]

holy shit thats a game changer

[@Kopterheld]

I have the same problems with Walksnail, especially on grass with low flights. The streaks come as soon as the reception gets worse. And the latency increases to over 100ms, unflyable. Last time I flew Walksnail in a parking lot, everything was fine there. It's best to wait another 1 year until the firmware gets better.

[@FalconRadFPV]

Dam Bot, that analog rip in the middle of the video was f@#$ing awesome. And you talked though it like you were just hanging out having a coffee!

[@JoryFPV]

The parody of the Fatshark commercial was unironically better than the actual commercial.

[@hallio111]

yeah, and it will probably let le dribs head explode:) lol

[@MrTechcat]

Seems like a broken antenna (or VTX), as this is exactly how DJI looks after breaking antenna from the drone.

[@nikotttin]

The frozen images yes, but is it also the case for the black out?

[@MrTechcat]

@@nikotttin yeah, DJI even with a broken antenna gets choppy and skips frames but does not black out. As expected, Walksnail is a cheap chinese rip off, similar but worse :D

[@waychunky]

I feel like hdzero is what fatshark would have been if they hadn’t dropped the ball. Carl going off on his own means his progress will be a bit slower but it has been working great. Fatshark is still trying to go forward without Carl and apparently it isn’t going well from what we are seeing.

[@grabejud]

that's CARLma out there for fatshark.

[@bugsy742]

@@grabejud 😅 🤝 🤜🏻🤛🏻

[@CalleyyyC]

From what I observed, it seemed fatshark was slowing things down for HDZero, they’ve been innovating like crazy since the split. Hard to say really tho since Divimath was probably making all the internals all along and fatshark the plastics, maybe the goggles would have been here sooner but they may have been featureless like the avatar goggles with no inputs

Bot, I'm looking at getting into fpv, gotta say your your honesty is exactly what I need, mostly because I don't wanna put money into it if it's not going to make my journey any better, I'm not gonna bother listing them but many are like "gotta have HD forget analog" anyway just wanted to say thanks for not being a show pony and keeping it real.

They shouldn’t have this much bad hardware out there already. This system didn’t see much testing before it’s release. Apparently the first customers are the beta testers.

Well - I'll put off that Avatar purchase for a bit longer. Still not going back to analog though - I putter about through the trees - sometimes moving fast, mainly just cruising - a couple modest dives back down into the trees each flight. I love to look. Digital gives me that, and I love it.

[@seekerfpv]

Damn your analog video feed looks stupid clean, makes me want to try analog and try that low latency but I’m scared that I won’t be able to go back to digital 😂😂

How does analog perform on stock antennas? You have a patch and circular aftermarket for your analog, why would you not use the same setup? Appreciate the work though, make one think about it.

[@ziimez_fpv9715]

The antennas might be shitty, but that's my only quess to why it stuttered and blacked out. But I won't be switching unless it's more reliable, and I still love my analog setup's

[@chrisnewby9771]

I have to agree, as a splendid gentleman I cant understand why people would chose a digital signal where its either video or no video. I want to know the drone I love is losing signal not lost and gone. Am I missing something with digital? like pre warning or signal loss indicator?... never used digital at all, so I don't know how it works in reality. But it doesn't make sense from a point of logic to have signal/no signal as a digital I assume would be.

[@m2kfpv449]

DJI had years of making high definition low latency video links before they came out with the DJI FPV System. What vtx has Caddx ever made? if qc on their analog cameras is any indication … ya, this whole Avatar system seems unnecessary for me now
