Joshua, would you ever consider a video where you pick a couple of price points ($300, $500, $700, etc.) and put together a complete FPV setup (drone, controller, goggles, batteries, charger, etc.) if you were brand new today?

Thank you for the informative video on the goggles today!

[IAGIC]

you just sent me lightyears ahead on my research as a nooby. thanks. very well made video

The latency numbers for analog and HDZero should be even lower, if a fair comparison to DJI and Walksnail is to be made. The DJI/Walksnail numbers of around 25-35 ms are how long it takes the very first pixel to change on screen. To draw an entire frame is between 8-16ms longer than that. For HDZero and analog, the 14-16 ms number is the whole-frame latency. First-pixel latency for analog and HDZero is between1-3 ms. So a proper (fair) comparison would be to either add 8-16 ms to DJI and Walksnail or subtract about 16 ms from analog and HDZero.

Just your friendly reminder that at 140kmh (90mph) your quad travels 1.5m in 40ms

[geruetzel]

This is such a great video - every system explained in detail to a point where I had no questions left. Thank you!

[MariomasterNSMBHD]

As somebody who mainly flies small quads: HDZero Goggles + Walksnail VRx + Analog VRx is just the most amazing combination you can get. Having all these options in one thing and using/buying whatever quad/VTx you feel like really is great.

[Dyngarynth]

You saved me probably 3-4 hours worth of googling stuff, thank you for making this video!

[CalleyyyC]

HDZero goggles for me. I got the walksnail VRX to try but haven’t taken it out of the box yet. Been too blown away flying nothing but that 90fps HDZero cam. Love what they’re doing and the true fpv community connection

[rzijl]

Coming back into the hobby after a 4 year break, this was of great value to me, so thanks a lot mr. Bardwell!!!

[RizHassan]

I fly fpv planes and I have tested analog 1.3ghz, Dji, and walksnail. By far 1.3Ghz for long range is the king, Dji is good to putt around your flying field, walksnail vrx still in development. My walksnail Osd continue to freeze up within 1 km radius.

[TacticalCastle]

THIS is what I have been wanting to know! Glad I didn't blindly jump into this hobby the first time I saw it like I wanted to. I slowed myself down and this helped me so much!

[rrittenhouse]

1:45 When you left your property I was waiting for liftoff to yell at me 🤣🤣

[JanMusick]

Yesterday I was looking for a comparison of fpv systems, and today you are releasing a video on this topic. Thank you, you are amazing.

[tiwidub]

Great great video, Joshua. Many thanks to you. Regards to everyone in the FPV community !!❤ ❤❤

[dodgydamosfpv]

HD zero all the way gonna be my next goggle👌

[BobBobsta]

The biggest thing that is making me chose walksnail over dji is the longevity of it. Walksnail is aiming for their system to be compatible throughout where as dji you mostly need to buy a whole new set every one or two years to be up to date. And walksnail has a 4K unit now (moonlight)

[dalan]

HDZero goggles with 90hz camera. Having the lowest latency possible is the most important to me. It’s like gaming on a high refresh rate display; the smoothness of the motion and connected feel makes the whole experience of performing quick actions much more predictable.

[cityoftrees]

Been watching you for years. Glad you’re still making videos. Did not know I wasn’t subscribed.

[michaelpichon]

Thank you ever so much for all that knowledge sharing. So if I resume well, in comparison with OS in computing:
DJI = Apple
HDZero = Linux
WalkSnail = Microsoft
Analogue = DOS

:)

[Selph_EU]

HDZero all the way, so much versatility and that 90FPS camera (even for freestyle). <3
