I’ve got the BetaFPV Metor75 in Walksnail. You definitely feel the extra weight. Hover at 50% throttle, it’s no hot rod. But the penetration performance is spectacular. I fly at work in a metal and concrete building. And can traverse three floors and from one end of the building to the other without any worry of signal loss. I go through the building and open as many doors as possible. And spend hours on end running circuits through the building.
awesome review as always JB

About time somebody got some FPV goat drifting.
Got my 1s nano avatar VTX in the mail today. Gonna put it on a Rekon4fr to have a sub 250 with digital. That quad has a micro size analog cam now, so maybe I'll order the micro avatar cam later or just keep the nano cam but in a 19x19 converter mount. Vtx will be powered by the 5v pad I guess. Also received my Fatshark Dominator bundle yesterday and kinda like it. Unlock and firmware was easy, image is great. This is my first ever experience with digital and wow... Good on caddx for developing the Avatar module, these are interesting times to be in the hobby and that VRX module is such a smart move! I wanted to get the HDzero goggles but that's just taking to long and really wanted to try the Walksnail system. Might switch to HDzero goggles later for my race quad and wait out what the Walksnail module is gonna do in the long run and get that later. Dominator goggles could always be sold, but for now I'm impressed. Still need to do a first digital flight, but rain is saying no..
A lot of good things are happening nowadays on fpv fields. Very interesting times. But .. the goats beat everything else :) Thanks Joshua, I've learned some good things since I had started watching you.

Great review! I'm really happy to see how fast Walksnail is improving this system.

This was mostly a range & break-up test though

HDZero can look better, but we are comparing the Whoop vTX bundle to the Aatar Mini bundle. You could buy the Whoop vTX separately, use a heavier camera, and then get a little better image quality at about the same weight, I suppose. That's just not an option I tested -- mostly because my HDZero whoop is ready to go and I don't want to gut it just to increase the weight and make it fly worse.

Nice review. I know you say it is not a back to back comparision but it does seem pretty unfair on HDZero to try that distance with an video antenna that is basically a bit of wire. Not even a straight bit if wire at that.
Nice! But please make the same comparison walksnail vs. HDZero with flipped antennas! This would show: 1. If you can spare the 1,5g for a walksnail tiny whoop 2. What could really be expected from HDZero on a small toothpick Thank you in advance!

I am very impressed with the speed at which Avatar has grown into a relatively mature and usable system. I do prefer the quicker and more consistent frame rate of analog/HDz, but digital systems like DJI/WS are amazing for their image quality.

Would be awesome is they made something like a 200mw vtx properly designed and scaled down for a tiny whoop.
So can we just build normal sized 3, 4, 5" drones and put this thing off a 3.3v pad of the fc 🤔 I wouldn't see why not provided the pad can handle the 2 amps. Can make your quad lighter and if it's cheaper than a vista or air unit I'm in especially for cinewhoops
Really struggling to decide between DJI and Walksnail. Just getting into FPV and want definitely a fun tinywhoop because that's what I will be able to fly most often with. I want to build a larger 3" - 5" later too, but don't have that many spaces here to fly that compared to the tinywhoop. My thoughts about DJI so far: + seems to be the mature digital system + prices for the DJI Googles seem to be way more attractive than WalkSnail setups - not such a big friend of closed systems - doesn't seem to have a lightweight unit for TinyWhoops and Toothpicks - not sure how they're future will be with the embargo and sanctions going on. I'm from Europe, but still it might have an impact on their focus and Investements into FPV if the US market should break away Walksnail: + lightweight units + i like that it's more open and we've more options - doesn't seem to be as mature - looks like good googles + antenna + receiver are quite a bit more expensive than just buying v2 goggles for the DJI system
You radio is going nuts. Is that the telemetry lost notification? Please follow up on the baud rate thing for on your previous video. What is the appropriate baud rate? I get errors in almost every setting. Some more than others.
in reference to the connecting to VBAT instead of the 5v regulator. Were you able to run a 1s battery low and do some punchouts near the end of the pack to see if you would get a blackout? I remember playing with this on one of my HD / splitcam whoops where betafpv actually recommended switching from 5vpad to the vbat and it resolved the issue, but I still would grey out on occasion on those tiny 300mah batteries when I'd torture them down to 2.8v in a punchout, i'd still get a grey screen and have to just get lucky do a blind landing.

The vTX maxes out around 7 watts. At 5v that would be 7/5 = 1.4 amps. I would want at least a 2 amp voltage regulator to really trust that it was going to handle that load (and the rest of the things running off 5v) without browning out.

@@JoshuaBardwell Thanks a lot Joshua. The Matek F411-WSE has a 2A reg with 3A peak performance. Only having a 50mA GPS and a 150mA R9mm in it + the MCU should be fine then.

You should make sure you're buying the DJI system and not HDZero, which is also digital.

For DJI, the vTX will probably be Vista. If you have the DJI black box remote, it binds directly to the Vista vTX and you don't need another receiver.
Can you post a link to a video about the goggles you used?

It's the Walksnail Avatar / Fat Shark Dominator (same goggle different name). It's the only goggle that works with this video transmitter.
