Digital FPV.....DJI vs HDZero vs Orqa vs Walksnail vs openhd.....?

Nebula Pro and the DJI camera are best by all accounts so you shouldn’t have any problems there Howard :+1:t2:

Botgrinder has uploaded his thoughts after using them.

What most are commenting on is the reduced FOV over the V1’s. It appears Orqa have changed the optics as it still uses the same OLED panels as the V1, and the HDO2’s and Sky04X’s. I think this is a Marmite thing as most racers will prefer a smaller apparent FOV where as cruisers will most likely want something more immersive. I personally prefer a more immersive experience, my SKY04X’s have remained connected to the PS4 by my bed for the last few weeks for streaming and GT-Sport as I’ve not been able to get out and fly. With there increased field of view they are great for this.

I’m not too sure what Orqa intend to do with the proprietary feature connector on the top of the V2’s. They’ve touted it as an interface for a digital option which maybe a proprietary system as HDZero receivers will still connect via the HDMI port.

Personally I think the Orqa V2’s serve a similar purpose to the DJI V2’s. That is they’ve been released to work with a specific feature while still working with legacy devices, in the same way that the DJI V2’s were released to support the FPV Drone while still working with the Air units.

So they’re more of an update than an upgrade. That’s a little disappointing :confused:

I’ll just leave this here - very interesting feedback from Bardwell

Might be a worthwhile upgrade for all you Sharkbyte users :ok_hand:t2:

I actually modded my vrx with 2 vas crosshair extremes. But the range difference wasn’t really noticeable. I’m saving my dosh for the 1 watt vtx’s and 1080p goggles

Just watched this JB interview with CEO of Orqa. Mainly about the Oqua goggles but some interesting info about their new 5.8 HD vtx system around the 21 minute mark

Carl off of HDZero reckons the new VRX is in production now and due to be shipping around the 15th March. Sounds good.

Some interesting features linked to ELRS by the sounds of it, such as being able to start and stop DVR recording via an aux channel or arm switch.

Hmmm. Interesting. I believe the caa monitor this site. So 400m. Not 30km round trip as my li-ions would permit.

Theoretically of course.

Just seen this from Carl on HDZero group. If this is right then that makes the 1W VTX basically a chunky, heavy 200mW VTX for the majority of users :grimacing: Do you actually need it to download the firmware or is it just a warning covering their arse?
