If I were to dedicate a YouTube video to an issue or challenge in FPV you’re dealing with right now, what would it be?

$495 for HD-Zero Goggles in Thanks Giving deals
$100 Freestyle V2 Kit!
🔗 www.hd-zero.com/?AffCode=B3A6C0F0A8

From Carl:
Huge HDZero black Friday sale starts at 10pm EST! Goggles for $495, Freestyle kit for $100, and more...

My first thanksgiving in the US was in 2001, when I had just immigrated. Since then, I have always reflected on this time of the year and expressed my gratitude to those who have helped me along the way.


HDZero has been a remarkable journey from the start. It has been the favorite option for many of the best racing pilots until now. It is hard to convey the true experience of HDZero through Youtube videos, which can only show the visuals, but not the feelings. Pilots today are fortunate to have multiple choices, but HDZero is the only one that can make you feel more while others see more.


I owe a lot to many pilots who have supported me immensely. HDZero would not exist without them. Thank you very much.


Happy thanksgiving @everyone !
-Carl

There are somethings, which I didn't get into the video about AOS Supernova 2207 Motors.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4O1KD...

My measurements indicate they're closer to a 2308 than a 2207.
But Chris already told us they're not 2207 but "2207 Class".

Chris states they are quantifiably better performing in terms of thrust, torque and efficiency than the average of the 2207 motors he's tested. But 2308 is a bigger stator and produces more power than a 2207. Therefore, of course they will be higher performing, that's how engineering works.

Before I get into this, you may think, well isn't Chris one of the "Good Guys". Chris was contributor in the community who was recovering some of the cost by his frame and some products. We could all get behind and support that.

However, Chris has/is moved/moving away from "I'm just helping out the community and being reimbursed for the efforts" to a full on commercial business in FPV. So he's due the same scrutiny that we'd give any other company.

Here are the several issues with these motors:

Science & engineering is supposed to be able to discern truth and define fact. Having a motors that are closer to 2308, but calling them "2207" and using the term "2207 class" is disingenuous.

Chris has built his authority in FPV based upon applying an engineering approach to define truth and fact from his testing. This profile was based upon a companies sending him their motors to test for marketing purposes (and yes he's bought some himself).

To then use the motors provided by companies to create a competing product doesn't exactly exemplify integrity.

If the companies who produced the motors were also in the UK or even in the USA, it sounds like Chris would have a lawsuit on his hands.

Chris states his motors perform quantifiably better than the average 2207 motor. I don't have any issues with taking the average as a benchmark for marketing reasons, that's acceptable. But, with the stators being closer to a 2308, Chris calling them a 2207, then comparing them to 2207 motors doesn't show whether they genuinely perform better because of the engineering he's put into them, or if it's simply because you have more stator volume on a 2308 than a 2207.

Why didn't he just call them 2308's and use his platform and science to say that the best motor size for 5" Freestyle is a 2308? I actually wish he did, even if they are a few points of a mm smaller than 2308, representing them in their true size would have been better.

But calling them 2308's and saying this is why its the right size, opens him up to competition. You can't charge $29 for a motor that's performance is derived from its stator size and its marginal improvements over the competition are because of its engineering.

Everyone would make 2308's and Chris's competitive advantage is suddenly gone.

As I said in my video my measurements shouldn't be taken as 100% accurate, but if you give the manufacturer the courtesy of not having to be accurate, and allowing them to be misleading in their product - well, same applies here.

Could Walksnail support Remote ID through the new Goggles X?

DJI’s Avata requires a wired connection from your phone to the goggles for Remote ID, with the same functionality possible with the O3 Air Unit as a RID module through firmware update.

Walksnail VTX is hardware capable of becoming a broadcast module via a software update.

So could the Goggles X and the Mobile app support RID?

Caddx announced new Walksnail Goggles X!

But the most exciting feature is the removable Digital VRX so that when they release their next generation of the System you can upgrade your goggles making Walksnail a safer long term investment than DJI!
