I did a range test with Walksnail and it went like ...
Ойын-сауық
As promised it has been time to test the range on a regular setup with Walksnail. I will tell about how it went, what I found for me and the feeling of frozen fingers ... :)
Nice things to know:
- If Walksnail looses the connection it will restart the recording again after it gets data from the VTX
- The break-ups are pretty predictable and will first happen at about below 1Mbps
- You will need to aim good with the patch antennas to get a better reception
We used a T1 Ranger as rig this time. Wanna have a T1? Look here: www.heewing.com/?ref=justfpv

Awesome footage you've got there! Are there any issues in binding with other walksnail Avatar air unit incase you want to build another ? DJI has a lot of issues esp binding from the 03 air unit to a Caddx vista with the DJI goggles v2

None… absolutely none! Simply hit the binding button on the unit and the same on the goggles/vrx… done! That’s my experience

Hi. thanks for sharing. Do you swap top and bottom antenna port of the goggles or keep original position? Does it much improve compare with stock combo( 2 stubby and 2 patch from walksnail)?

Currently I’ve got 2x tripple feed on top and the trueRc x2 on the bottom ports- the effect is that you won’t worry anymore for anything. Just play head-tracker and look into the direction you assume to fly and all is fine
Any landing right side up is a good landing. ;) Thanks for suffering so we don't have too. Quality even a lower bit rates still looks amazing. If have another pair of goggles with HDMI input, then the Walksnail VRX may be way to go (for winter flying), and could position VRX on tripod (or vehicle roof), and fly from a warmer cockpit (in vehicle). Using HDMI (out) on Walksnail goggles to a video screen probably possible, but more awkward to mount externally.

hahaha ... so true ... let the canopy ripp off, let the wings detacht ... fuselage not capsized? well perfect landing ... #goodjob The fingers are warm again ... and willing to catch such a spectacular winter sunrise :) just need the time. The VRX external (like on a tracker ... and I got one in my classifieds) is an absolut good idea ... only wire out would be hdmi but that's no problem. turn on the heater in the seat and go for #sticktime :)
Would my old 5.8 ghz 13dbi patch antenna work with this digital system ? Just plannimg ahead for when i order my digital system. Ive flown over 12k with my patch 5.8 ghz antenna on analog n hoping i can use it in the walksnail system.

Can you set the VTX power to the six position buttons like you can with analogue transmitters?
@JustFPV-net

Currently Not- but there is a feature request that describes exactly that. Perhaps it may come in future firmware updates. By now you’ll have to do it in the goggles in flight
Why why do they make these video systems in such high frequencies when we want a solid signal? Because of latency?

Are you missing Crossfire ? How's ELRS performing for you nowadays? I'm curious ....as I am thinking of ditching all my Crossfire gear,and flying pureley ELRS on my Caipi2, and AR Wing Pro long rangers🤗🤔

I was missing a Feature : the working connection to a antenna tracker. Others than that I never looked back. Give it a go, figure out how ExpressLRS wants to be maintained and then get a taste of so many benefits like various cheap hardware and new innovations coming along in the upcoming versions. 30+ hardware brands are currently producing Tx and Rx for the system. Currently it’s like it’s unstoppable! I’m still a big fan of ExpressLRS #yougottaayyestoexpresslrs

hard to say from here. But perhaps STOP recording DVR and VTX at the same time. Record only DVR (Goggles) and the flickering might be gone as far as I've heard. It's a bug in the firmware which isnt solved. Hope it helps

Nope … These are the original that ships with the walksnail firmware. I’ve set it to use INAV in the goggle.
The footage of flights above the clouds always looks pretty cool. I'm a bit afraid, that you are interfering with the airspace/flighlevels of man carrying airplanes. Do you have any kind of transponder in your aircraft?

I guess its better to be realistic (or even pessimitic) when the topic is range. No doubt, there is more in store but I think this a good indication on what is possible with simple gear like a google on the face and not looking to much like MEN-IN-BLACK-NERDY :) Thanks for your words

(Already got 1.3ghz setup in a albabird and a reptile v2 with 10000mah, but in reality i enjoy flying my nano goblin "close range" even more mostly because its stealthy. I can almost fly inbetween horses legs without them even notice it haha ) My walksnail vrx will arrive today, will be installing it directly to my old trusty nano talon evo and hopefully try a flight this weekend if weather clear up.
