Those are hd.
Know anyone ?
Arhhhhh HDMI and analogue input! FFS
If you say so…
Ahhh poop. Well I guess it’s tech world. If we all waited for the next best thing, we’d never buy anything!
Damn I fancy getting a wing …
Example OpenHD flight (not mine), Laptop as ground station. Air unit I believe Raspberry PI.
Just watched Mads video on it, good they getting there, but usual CADDX half arsed release, it’ll get there
Shudda kept that Walksnail VRX
I try and avoid the hype train… I fell for that trap once before and it almost killed the hobby for me. Now I’m just happy to fly what I have because trying to keep up with the latest hype in this hobby is a sure fire way to kill the enjoyment… Moving from analogue to DJI almost killed the hobby for me because I priced myself out it… once I felw HD I found it extremely hard to fly analogue again… So once I smashed my only HD quad at willington power station. I found myself not being able to afford to fix my HD quad but now struggled to find the motivation to fly my analogue quads so therefore just didn’t fly… So now I’ve promised myself to just enjoy what I have and avoid the temptation of the latest hype train
I touched on this the other day, and looks very very interesting
Add whatever camera you like (OK 720p/60fps HDMI output only) to vista/OG… Thermal camera? lol.
Basically HDMI > MIPI convertor
I’d love to know if you could switch multiple inputs. Go Pro as the solo camera. Adds another few ms, so cruising planes or drones, but. Be interesting that video when it comes out!
Now available. 45 quid isn’t bad. If anyone wants to send 720p/60fps from hdmi to any DJI goggles then, well now you can
Try and be serious, but I suspect I will be trolled for picking walksnail.
I either very bad with my walksnail VTX or there are some quality control issues coming out of walksnail or I rolled the dice bad.
Last 6 months…
- Moonlight VTX - fail after 2 flights - warranty (via https://yourfpv.co.uk/)
- Moonlight on GoFilm20, corrupted video files - [Moonlight KIT Guide | WalksnailWiki - the moonlight kit has some QC issues and remaking the thermals inside would solve the problem.] - waiting for warranty fix
- Walksnail Avatar Mini 1S Kit - fail after about 15 flights - dispute with credit card & betaFPV
And yesterday …
- Walksnail Avatar HD Nano Kit V3 - fail after less than 4 power-on - still on bench
- Seeing if this is covered under hobbrc warranty.
Anyone else good Quality control issues or is it just me ?
Is DJI // HD Zero better ?
Don’t worry about being trolled. Everyone has reasons for the choices that they make.
Could be budget, size, availability or use cases.
I’m a fan being an early adopter with some tech but have stayed away from this in the drone world as I don’t really have the technical knowledge and skills if things went wrong.
So I’ve mostly stuck with DJI & TBS crossfire which has been both reliable and given lots of choice in the form of DJI.
The only issues I have had is getting hold of crossfire rx’s but i’ve never had one fail.
With DJI i’ve got several versions from OG air unit (my favourite)Vista to 03 air units and all have been solid and reliable.
I get that for certain applications. particular whoops that DJI can be too heavy but they are solid and reliable with great support.
Good luck with whatever you choose mate, there’s plenty of used dji stuff out there that shouldn’t break the bank.
Wow, that’s bad - Feeling lucky as I have not had any issue till now
(bar when I fried one by plugging the wrong voltage - and when I nipped the Mipi cable on another) - not bought any for a few months now but planning on a GT soon
Bad luck!
I only have a couple of WS bits, but they mostly worked. One camera died after a few days use, but YourFPV replaced it FoC after discussion with WS.
As for HDZero, I’ve been running that for a few years now on a hell of a lot of quads and planes. There have been a couple of issues with antenna connections being ripped off, and I’ve had a couple of cameras die on me. But all have been replaced by HDZero, usually just for the cost of the postage to/from China.
Certainly I’ve not had anything like the issues you have… plus dealing direct with HDZero support has always been good.
Looks like it will be covered by Walksnail under warranty. I guess just one point of data - I just rolled a few double 1s on the dice.
The warranty on DJI, HD Zero and walksnail - all look good - all good reports form customers here.
Question on mixing antenna types on dual antenna Walksnail (Moonlight) units, but I guess would be the same for DJI too…
I’ve just rebuilt my Dart XL wing with digital, using a twin antenna Walksnail VTX. Previously had a TBS analogue vtx running a MenaceRC Aeropod (RHCP unfortunately) under the fuselage which worked well. I now have the two Walksnail antennae poking diagonally out of the top hatch but signal isn’t brilliant. I’m tempted to buy another Aeropod (LHCP this time) and connect that to one of the vtx UFL connectors. Does anyone know if they just work like a simple diversity system, taking the strongest of the two signals? Or is it doing some clever combining of signals and having two antenna with different gain levels is going to mess everything up?
Ideally I’d have one aeropod under the body and a regular omni sticking up out the top of the hatch.
I have not tried myself on the VTX - but running different antennas on the VRX/Goggles is very common (path + omni) so would not expect any issue. Walksnail is not a ‘true diversity’ system (the exact same signal is sent through both VTX antennas).
