I just realized that I never SAID that they have USB HDMI output just like the bigger goggles. They do.

It took 2 minutes before you said I was going to learn something today. I was starting to get worried

I haven’t made the jump to Digital HD “yet” so this video is for me. 8:15 Haha, I remember that little fella in a baby carrier (“baby carriers” have a generic name but I don’t rem) at the end of your videos which remains to this day the single cutest thing I’ve ever seen. 😊 Great video. The comparative analysis was super dooper.

[mudkipz]

It’s really exciting to see how this digital system is trying to be more accessible for more people. $600 is quite a hefty chunk of change that definitely left my wallet crying. I’m glad to see that people can enjoy digital at a much cheaper price point.

Joshua, you have processed your spoken word microphone, near perfectly! You're one of the few that cares. And you've done it of so right.

For decades I am made my living, recording and broadcasting, spoken word narratives. Along with producing, tens of thousands of, commercials. For an international, advertising agency. Where you have to make certain. No one misses or misinterprets a single word. And so, that requires some fairly extreme, tonal and dynamic range processing. To fool the listeners. Into thinking it sounds, normal. And just right. And that's the mark of a good audio engineer.

Joshua you definitely get my seal of approval. With an excellent sounding voice track.

JOSHUA BARDWELL you have done an amazing job with these videos and have answered soo many questions and saved soo many people frustration especially me. I was just about to make my purchase before watching this video but then caught the end about you getting a commission, so I started my order process all over by clicking the link. Your time and detail to your videos are GREATLY appreciated.

[annonomus]

Great video as always. That tip on how to remove the lens was awesome. Very out of focus with the lens and no glasses now crystal clear.made ALLthe difference

[OneManUnmanned]

The Scout HDs had foam inserts (that had to be removed) at the corner/edges to accommodate glasses. I wonder if these has them as well since they are somewhat similar shells.

[evanlebaron]

Oh how I wish I could go flying with you one day. I don't have a drone yet but I fly on the sim alot. I'm looking to get a drone as soon as I can afford one. I want to build my first quad but thats probably not going to be the case. I still watch a ton of your build videos because you do such a good job explaining everything 👏 🙌 👌

[capol]

Wait, so your house is the one that's on Lift-off?! Nice!!! And amazing video as always!

[Indpendent]

8:48 haha YouTube makes it 4k50 from your 100fps upload (watching on a 4k120hdr screen) - probably just use it as slow-mo as needed in post next time

[hultaelit]

7:05 "Oh yea, see? It's completely unfocused."
You need a pupil-camera for us to see that one mate, but I'll take your word for it :D

[dominiclapointe]

Feels good to have the exact setup Mr Bardwell suggest at the end! Cobra X+ walksnail vrx!

[RobR]

That means I can use my fatshark Dominator V2 and just plug in the module into the HDMI 😊

[ChrisParayno]

Personally I like the box goggles from fatshark. They're small, light, and I got use to the 16:9 format. My hope is a more non-proprietary HD system comes. The hd side of the house has definitely segregated the community.

[zacayers]

Thanks so much for this video. I've been trying to decide who to choose for weeks now.

[coltonowens]

I flew roughly 20 packs through my newly built setup over the weekend using these goggles and the v2 unit, and talk about absolutely fantastic hardware. SO much less finicky than analog, at a great price.

[TitanFPV]

Nice thorough comparison. The HDZero box goggle solution from Fatshark was actually the Scout HDs. Still similar. They reused some tooling leftover from the original analog versions more than likely.
