Why I switched from DJI to Walksnail: Caddx Gofilm 20 + Goggles L

Holy smokes, that dynamic range of that cam is amazing !!! Not blown lights while shadows being properly exposed. Freakin beauty!!

Thanks for the review. I like how you showed that this drone can fly very slowly and fluid and a bit snappy as an fpv. Good clear footage.

great review im brand new in the market for a drone. i have not bought any-yet but i never heard of these 2 products and i likeeee.. I also like how you explain everything very relax and straightforward for me to understand. thank you!.

Hello. Which drone are you leaning towards 2 weeks later?

[@Nordic_Goon]

Nice, I have the moonlight on my 7in quad built using the FC, ESC, and motors you have in your 7in quad build video. negates the need for a gopro just about. I've been really happy with it. I hit 3.32 miles without any issues on the goggles L btw. They are great. I'm excited to push them farther.

[@hoardersam10]

Wow thats far! I've only gone about 200 meters in mine. Good to know it has a lot more range in there

[@Nordic_Goon]

@hoardersam10 indeed, battery was my limiting factor.

[@jamesmichaelcabrera9613]

Is that with the stock antennas on both?

[@Nordic_Goon]

@jamesmichaelcabrera9613 I'm sorry. I should have clarified, I am using the flyfishrc osprey antennas on the VTX. The goggles L are stock.

[@PiDsPagePrototypes]

3.32 mile,.. you go about 4.5km! That's pretty dang decent range for video transmission - I think a Moonlight Kit plus a pair of the VRx units are in my future - one for my HD02's and another for feed to a vMix live stream kit.

[@I2AT]

Man great review. Appreciate you taking time to make this video.

[@Copterlord]

I just sold my g2 and now want to try Walksnail. One main reason which made me do this was the night flight, I was in a locked in a situation to capture fireworks with the O3 unit, damn talk about landing again once the fireworks were over... it was a nightmare... thanks to my phone's flashlight and home turf I was able to land it.

[@dannybullit]

Wow dude. You might have sold me on that set up. I’m super new and I have the FatShark Scout and a BetaFPV Meteor 65 Pro analog right now.

[@sbezialisd]

@11:40 the resolution is not relevant for the image quality during night flights - but reducing the FPS from 60 to 30 or even 24 is relevant and can reduce the grain

[@toneydefreitas5630]

The night time footage is more then acceptable for Flying. For cinema, you could easily fly the camera drone/wing with the Walksnail hardware, while a main camera is set to get the most low noise footage with proper black levels and colours. The daytime footage, would look even more cinematic with a baby 1.33:1 Anamorphic add-on lens out front.

Superb video bro Loved it. Thanks for creating❤

[@MarcinZotowski]

Cool video. I am torn between goggles L and X. I am new to FPV and decided to go with the Walksnail system. I am just hesitant to spend twice as much on goggles X knowing that they have some quality control issues. On the other hand, it seems that goggles X are more future-proof with an option to swap vtx, antennas. They have also hdmi in and out and AV, which can be used to fly analog. Decisions, decisions 😂

[@alexzanatta6572]

Exactly in the same situation. Been into FPV only a couple months but it seems logical to me to upgrade to the X model, even tho the L are great. Being able to flying analog / HDMI are a great plus. I think I'll wait for a nice used deal.

[@KOFPV]

If you plan on flying for a while and are thinking about being future proof. I personally would go with the x. If you If I got the L, I would eventually want to upgrade. That said. The L 's are really nice. You wouldn't be going wrong with either.

[@flighttrain71]

You probably want that hdmi port eventually so get the x...

[@Geriatric_Gaming]

Awesome video and thanks for sharing. Was it mostly the ability to fly at night that made you pick this combo over the DJI Avata?

[@Blizofoz45]

DJI's already released 5 different goggles for their digital FPV along with a chart to explain their compatibility with the different models...I'm done with them.

Its a development or better speaking product enhancement. With the latest updates they fixed a lot of incompatibility. I would not bet Walksnails will always compatible with all they models

[@JasonParham83]

Very weird reason to be "done" with a company. Mad at a company for innovating and continuously coming out with better t3ch while still supporting g older tech and providing backwards compatibility. I've been flying the V1 goggles since the first month they came out and I'm still able to buy receivers and cameras. My V1's aren't compatible with O3 but I look at that as a completely different system. I'm confused on the reason to be mad at DJI for innovating.

[@iamkailong]

@@Blizofoz45 I like how these dji shills literally defending this stupid get you scheme as technology development lol. Releasing new device, that is tech development yes. But gating those new device from using old goggles unnecessarily, or vise versa, that’s evil business doing. Simple as that.

[@boutrosboutrosboutrosboutros]

The daytime footage looks awesome, but the nighttime footage is not high enough quality for videography. I can see this is being a great FPV drone, especially in the daytime. And it would be fun flying at night, but the footage is just not usable for my use case. Also, the five minute flying time for videographers would be a problem. But very cool for just doing FPV. Thanks for the video. Great work.

[@LoVeAmBiEnT]

Not as good as Avata 2 and the 04 system Penetration is worse. Range is worse. You don’t replace you buy this as well. Also, I still think the 03 system is better as well. From experience range penetration everything. This is cool it’s a cheaper. option the than the 03 system. Looks great

Nice advertisement, but I don’t see any compelling reason or comparison that would convince me to switch from my DJI FPV drone to the one you’re promoting. The night flight video quality is poor, and personally, I have no need to shoot footage at night. However, I do appreciate the ready-to-fly (RTF) style, which makes it convenient to use straight out of the box.

25 min flying what? Anything that flies for 25 min isn't going to perform like a true "FPV" build. You might get 25 minutes on an Avata or Mini, but that's just hovering or cruising around-no power loops, punchouts, or fancy tricks. If floating around to film stuff is your thing, you should go for it. Myself, I find that boring as hell.

[@JoshDisher]

@@Hollymountainhwy16 Yeah, hovering or floating around filming stuff. That type of flying, IMHO, is just plain boring. I would absolutely want that if I was trying to track down some Russian grunts, but not if I wanted to fly in a "fun" way. Comparing any stock DJI drone to a custom build (even a BNF) is silly. They're completely different types of flying with radically different power consumption needs.
