CORRECTION - In the video I said the prescription lenses are not available for the DJI Googles. That is incorrect because DJI and other companies now offer a basic prescription lens option.

I love how you explain every bit of detail to us like we’re 5 year olds. THIS IS WHAT I NEEDED!!! I’m super happy I found your page.... FINALLY someone who can break things down easily.

I want to go digital. I'll go tell the boss to pay me more right now. Its for a good cause boss. I'm going digital.

Thank-you for putting the series together, Cap! This is exactly where I am at. I've been flying Camera drones for a few years, and teaching that and coding with drones to 4th & 5th graders. I've been wanting to try real FPV for a while, and expose my students to it, but had no idea where to start. You're helping Me to understand it much clearer, and that will impact my students as well. Thank-you so much!

Never disappointed, Cap. I’ve already watched several of your vids, then While I’m doing homework on FPV drone, words digital and analog keep popping up, so I just KZread it, guess who’s video came up on top? Thank you, Cap!

I highly recommend to start with analog. Crashes DO happen. Learn to fly first, then about upgrading. These FPV race/freestyle quads do not fly like a DJI mavic, really, they don't... Another thing, do people new to this hobby realize it's the Gopro on top that gives the nice HD footage you see al over youtube? I can imagine no one want a analog system when they think only to have crap footage in the end

Another great episode! Thanks for sharing. peAce

It's gonna be great series! :D looking forward to analague part, since I got my first camera drone i see the limitations now :P

Great video! Very descriptive. One question though. It's 2023 as of the time I'm writing this. I watched another video explaining that with the DJI O3 you can get up to about 14 km of range. That's insane to me. I still only have one drone right now and that's the original dji mavic pro. The range is nothing compared to what I mentioned above. How far does the range go with analog?

@CAPTAINDRONE798

Analog all depends on the antennas and VTX power transmitter and VTX receiver. 20 miles is possible with the right gear. Should be plenty of KZread vids showing and explaining the ANALOG long range gear.

CAPTAIN DRONE I had a similar question. I want to use the DJI FPV Goggles + DJI camera + TBS Tango 2 controller w/Crossfire + Crossfire receiver. Is this still considered all digital? In the video you implied that only the full DJI setup (e.g., goggles, controller, camera) is “digital.” I want to use the Tango 2 controller w/built-in Crossfire because it appears more ergonomic than the DJI controller, cost less, and I believe the Crossfire system has a longer rc range than the DJI controller. I like the DJI goggles and camera because of digital and the longer video range (4K) of OcuSync 2.0. Do I need to buy any other components (modules) other than batteries, blades, etc? Please clarify because I am ready to pull the trigger on this drone and I don’t want to buy the wrong equipment. I am an experienced drone flyer but new to FPV. I like the long range capabilities and GPS of this drone, in addition to the ability to do freestyle stuff. Best of both worlds. BTW, I have watched many of your videos in this series. I love your channel!

Hi Captain, With your Honest Opinion which one is better ROCKET Plus DJI Air Unit HD FPV or TransTec Beetle MINI 2" DJI HD Cinewhoop FPV Drone + Caddx Vista (Free Battery Checker)

I honestly like Captain Quad better! Just bustin' chops, trying to "keep it real"for your audience. Many guys that I race with, can't stand the term "Drone". DRL changed that for some. When I think "Drone", I think of the Predator war drone, or a DJI product. I own 1 Photography drone and 30+ FPV racing quads. multigp.com

Although the DJI goggles are more expensive, they have the extra versatility of being able to use them with some of their camera drones.

Thanks!!! Learning so much with you, I know thats you are establishing the difference between this two aspects of the hobby, but there are some hybrids, were you can experience both worlds, like a mavic air or some models of DJI that can be used with FPV googles, if you like a camera drone but will like to have a more smooth FPV experience without the worries of learning how to fly a real FPV drone, thats seems to be difficult and requires a lot of practice and props. For example I wish that the mavic air 2 could be use with FPV googles, and for me it would be the perfect combination, a good camera drone and the introduction to FPV, and may be in the future enter the racing category, but my budget just let me 1 category at this moment. Excellent video!!!

When you put on the DJI Googles (that large silly looking headset that causes women to cringe) and fly the Mavic Air, you are not experiencing the FPV hobby. Think of it as taking your cell phone and placing it a few inches in front of your eyes. The flight dynamics of the camera drone do not change.

Thanks for your replay, and taking time to write us!!

Analog is what I might go with since it has less latency and I fly planes too and cheaper

I'm loving the series, I'm learning a lot! One thing that I'm slightly confused by after this video is what is the point of the GoPro on the drone? Like if your not a KZreadr or something, why would you need much footage from your flights? And if you do need footage, is there not a way to record from the main drone camera so you wouldn't have to mess with a GoPro?

I’m a complete beginner in the FPS world so please excuse me if I get this wrong but you didn’t mention the fact that you need to (or will end up wanting to) add additional modules and antennas to you analog goggles to try and boost the performance of them. Then you need to add on extras to your analog controller too so doesn’t the overall cost end up being almost similar to the digital option?

DJI's racing goggles can do 7km with ocusync versus 4km for digital version (don't know if 7km is acheived via analog, frequency, antenna, power, or something else). How realistic is going out pass 4km (regardless of legalness)? What's it like going out > 4km What is analog (2.4 GHz) like pass 4km?

@CAPTAINDRONE798

You may be mixing something up. The range on an FPV drone is based on your radio communication system. If you wanted to fly 20 miles you could with the correct setup. Also the DJI racing goggles are your occusync remote control placed on your forehead with your phone display place in front of your eyes. Essentially DJI just took the remote control and display and put it in a head unit. This is why DJI does not refer to those goggles as FPV goggles.
