Good to see some content popping up on KZread about analog gear. Like you said: a lot of people dont’t have the money or fly tiny whoops or micro’s. And often digital is to expensive and to heavy still

I took my eachine 800D and made them in that format with my own 3d printed body all the electronics can fit. Retro fit it to run off 2 18650 cells and has modified usb charging.

Did the same with the cheapo Emax goggle that comes with rtf kits 👌

loooot of people still use analog, this is really good to see

60 fps dvr and steadyview. That's really nice.

I feel like this is like when the Iomega zip drive came out in a world of CD-RWs. Too little, too late. If you dont have money for digital you probably dont have money for this. But always love the videos and reviews!

I have analog on land tank. For 3w. And wanted in car but 3w and 5w vtx out stock. Thought about 5w vtx analog in 10" long range too. Not sure I'd ever use a monitor though. I use Google just look inside without putting them on

@streetzfpv right. I fly micros occasionally but it's not worth a set of analog goggles. The BDI adapter is enough and they've worked out most of the bugs now. I don't think I'm good enough of a pilot to notice the extra 10ms latency or so.

Skyzone out there being great, just living in the past.

I use the wifi module on the HDZero goggles. It streams to any VLC player app on your phone or computer. It can send the HDZero/WSAvatar/Analog feeds. Whatever you see in the goggle gets sent to the phone/pc/tv. However you can't fly using the module feed, the delay is a few seconds. It's really convenient for camera angle adjustment and OSD alignment from the bench. And of course sharing with others.

I have hd zero too. But the delay is great... 10/15 seconds. Just boring spectators immediately.

Looks great. I use an aomway monitor with an internal 5.8gz analog receiver and it's been working fine for years as part of my land station. 😊

Looks like a good backup screen for long range

Funny, i built my own years ago. Compact and uses 18560. Also i can set mine up on a tripod and connect to external power source like a larger battery pack or 12v car connection. When i did fly fpv publicly i’d set it up for the curious people.

Thanks for the review, Joshua! 😊 Some of us still only fly analog! Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

I bought used 7" TV for 15$ and receiver for more 15$. Yes, it's not so convenient but useful enough and 3 times cheaper. But also I have HDMI input and can play with Openipc devices. And sound as well 😊

Analog is my jam. I think my old transporter 2 screen still does this for me, but why not know about things.

Great product, i will buy it

This is great if you’re on a budget. I still have analog quads, vtx’s are lighter and less bulky than the digital units.

Thanks for the video JB. It is late but still relevant to me. I'm one of those odd ducks that doesn't really like goggles. I like to be able to see what is going on around me when I fly especially when I'm flying alone in an unfamiliar area. I recently finished an analog 7" build and bought the eachine 7" diversity fpv monitor with the goal of attaching the monitor to my radio and using it sort of like the DJI controller with monitor built in. It works great but the 7" monitor is a bit cumbersome since the radio I've attached it to is the small RadioMaster Pocket. Ive found I prefer putting the monitor on a tripod but it's not ideal since I sometimes like to walk around while flying in an attempt to improve video reception. I think that 5" monitor would be just about perfect to attach to the Pocket. I might just pick one up. The better reception technology would be a bonus. I am going digital with my next build (3.5" Cinewhoop) but I intend to keep the 7" analog. Thanks for your review. Still relevant for a few of us lol. Happy flying amigo.

So it's true!!!, Analog system is refused to die 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I’ve been using something similar that came from MJX (D43) like 5 or 6 years ago. That unit has built in battery and antennas, no DVR, but it works amazingly well, and the battery runtime is still great.

Have a nice day JB.

Joshua, could you give a look into openIPC fpv? would like to know your opinion on them...

Nice to have one of these for the work bench, if you still fly analog like I do

Long live the Black Pearl monitor!!! And it WAS out 4+ years ago 😄 Still working great today

Analog certainly isn’t dead

Do not forget the Fixed Wings. People will love this gadget if is bright enough in open air

pretty cool. i have the fxt vipers, the detachable screen has come in handy on the bench. it's also got hdmi. the downside is, it has a micro usb power input, which by some miracle hasn't broken over the past four years! there's no mount on it either. i always thought it would be cool for guerilla whooping with it somehow mounted to the tx. a little more low key than some wacky headgear on your face.

Thank's for review. It looks like Viper FXT googles monitor. Very interest, are they compatiable?

i'm still 100% analog, and will be for the foreseeable future, it has unique advantages over any currently available digital system for my purposes

As someone who flies analog with a screen mounted to the radio, this is amazing. I just don’t enjoy using goggles inside the house flying my whoops. Wish HD also had monitor options without having to plug in the goggles.

I have had something exactly like this since a little after I started a few years ago. Mine are called a Black Pearl and also has HDMI input. They have built in batteries as well and are a little more polished than these. I just bought a cheap amazon camera tripod for it's built in mount and never looked back. I thought this was totally common, but I've always flown alone as well. Hmmmm

Yep I used an old car cam screen with a 32 ch receiver and my transmitter has mono sound so headphones, done.

I would have totally bought one a couple of years ago. Yep a few years too late. Now I’m waiting for a Walksnail HD version.

Best thing is you can try out yourmix modes and leave your goggles on diversity if you dont trust mix mode, like me, but now you can test the modes with the device for rolling, dark screen

Analog 4 life. Nice screen

3:43 you can use this to connect a thumb sized camera or similar to program using this monitor.

I would like to see the 7 inch version for the far flyers. Thnx for the review!

Good job, nice video !!! i use an cheaper solution, my old eachine EV 800 D. you can take off the part who hold the EV 800 D on your head and use it as this monitor. I am not sure that they have both the same range capacity, but it could be a good idea to test it. still tuned and fly safe

It does all the things lol. I’ll put in a bid of 22.00 I have the old spectrum screen and yes it’s ALWAYS plugged in

For recration or GoPro-careers I still love analog. So simple, no bullshit, no daily updates, bugs, bugfixes, overheating, stutters, freezing OSDs, pumping exposure, low contrast, poor low light.... And all of this with cheap reliable hardware and a smooth breakup-behaviour that gives you a ton of feedback on how far you can push it. BUT.. Eachine made such a display years ago. Only diversity, but that's really the only thing it lacks in comparison. :D

I have a cheap analog input for android and run a spare analog module into a 10" tablet. I can pic my analog module but also use the tablet for digiview. It works great and only 1 device. I can even wirelessly transmit my mavic image to it! So 1 single client monitor for everything.

My skyzone x box googles have steadyview. I like them

Moving toward Walksnail.

omg, steadyview is so tempting... but i still like the display on my Eachine Moneagle...

Eachine Moneagle is what I use and its been perfectly awesome.

Does it have HDMI in? I'd love a monitor with an analog receiver that I could slap a digital receiver on the back of

I always used a cheap box google for the bench. Face plate slides off. Been using it for years.

Yeah, I was looking for an analog FPV monitor about a year ago, and all the available options were Ass, so I just snagged some $30 no name thing from Amazon

For people using analog groudstations this could be really usefull if the DVR is good. So far the options for separate DVR units are very poor, with the Immersion Powerplay being the best, but that one is no longer available. I use a FXT DVR, also very good but also discontinued. It would be great if this Skyzone screen is similar in recording quality.

I'd have a couple uses for it. Analog aint dead yet.

I have hdzero dji and analog and i still mainly fly analog cause it has low consistent latency and it has better penetration than hdzero.

i will make my own goggles with that screen !

A little late though, I am currently using the HDzero goggles with the WIFI expansion module to enable people to livestream my goggle view. If I want to fly without wearing the goggles, I connect an HDMI to my goggles and use any screen/phone I have around to avoid latency. Still, it's a nice gadget.

i still use my old eachine 800d when working with analog drones, the front part of the box google can be taken off and even put on a tripod

Interesting, does the skyzone monitor run steadyview receiver modules then or does it run ISM ones like the older skyzone stuff? :)

I've had a similar product about 4 years. I think it's in my attic.

Ah. I was looking for a monitor 2 years ago. This I would have gotten immediately. Might still do, as I fly Tinywhoops most of the time analog, and when I have spectators, it is usually a whole group of friends that then have to hand the goggles over currently. $99 also seems a super good price! Still, it feels like skyzone woke up after a super long winter sleep. The Sky04x were amazing, but I was expecting them to come out either with something innovative or modern, and not this or the new analog goggles. I love my Sky04x and will not upgrade for another year for sure, but it is weird..

Looks very similar, and use, as my over 4 years old Eachine EV800D, Box Goggles, which could act as either Goggles or seperate stand alone Monitor.

This right here 100%. Has been my bench monitor for years.

Please do a build with this 🙏🙏🙏🙏

But I had this same design with my FXT display with DVR as well with AV inputs as well as HDMI inputs.

People who have bought a house: "Apartments are dead, does anyone use those any more?" Still can't beat the size, weight and cost of analog ba-by!

Stull use my spektrum screen all the time haha. Also, i kiss when things came with antenna. 😔

@JoshuaBardwell I had another FPV monitor but purchased this one based on your recommendation. The problem I am having with it is the receiver module does not record the audio at all. There seem to be no way to adjust the sound output. Do you have the same issue with on the module you have? Thanks.

They could add an HDMI and USB-C input with support for displaying images from Walksnail and DJI, it would be a hit.

Luckily your video on the Emax tinyhawk got me into this game so I have the Emax transporter goggles/screen.

I have just sold my rarely used BlackPearl monitor. In the rare cases where I'll still need an analog monitor I am meanwhile using my mobile phone with a Skydroid USB receiver plugged in. Cheaper and even more useage possibilities compared to such a monitor.

The one thing that would've sold this to me is an HDMI port. The $40 el cheapo screen that Sologood cooked up does almost as good, and I rarely need a spectator screen.

Did Skyzone not get the memo about digital systems? I’d love to have a screen that has some way of getting both analog and HDzero on the screen in some way, that’s what we need this day and age!

I’m building my first fpv drone and wanted to go cheap, likely analog. Maybe I get this.

I'm new to the FPV, and now thinking how to make the box googles of them :) 10 years ago saw some box, where you could put the smartphone for VR staff, maybe it's will work for 5" by cheap) Tryed googles once, don't wanna it, 2 screens, too close to the eyes, so the box googles is my way)

Could I use the receivers on this and port the signal to my old fatshark attitudes with no module bay? Think it has the old video input jack. Getting tired of crap reception and this could possibly kill two (or three?) birds with one stone.

Can you plug a hdzero goggle Into this for bench testing so you don’t need to have the goggles on ?

Do you know what the range of this monitor is? My Viper goggles only go a few miles. The Eachine EV800Ds go much, much farther. Also, what about the HDZero de-interlacing module?

I have been using the Eachine 5802D 7" inch screen for years. It has no switchable battery and no "Steadyview unicorn magic" (bad experience with that !) but quite good regular diversity. It is slightly cheaper, at 80-85 euro, than the M5 screen but you get 2" extra screen for that lower price. Consider the 5806D an option if you are looking for an analog-screen and do not care for the Steadyview.

I use the EV800D's for clients actually lol

How about a direct comparison of the quality of the analog video between this monitor and the HDZero monitor. How does the steady view image quality compare to the image quality of the de-interlacing feature of HDZero?

How does this compare to the Eachine moneagle? I love the screen and battery life but I get no range. I think the receivers in it are quite lacking. Is this any better?

It would be cool if someone took one and modded it to their transmitter to make something similar to my tbs tango OG where I can fly my drone just by Watching the transmitter. Seeing this in some of the newer transmitters would be slick 3d printed to fit.

WISH LIST: an analog transmitter that connects to the video output of my digital goggles. Then, when I'm flying, others can monitor me on something like this device.

truly made for watching LOTR and the destruction of Sauron’s army with your trench buddy

Please change battery in that watch-type FPV monitor. You could make a video about it :D

This is enough to flight analog midrange 4inch lr quad in good condition ? So no need Google ?

I thought about switching back to analog for the range however I have no receiver at all !

Memory lane right here

can the 18650 cell easily be switched ? what about reverse polarity (protection) ?

Seems worth the $100 for analog pilots JB - the affiliate link wasn't working for me

As someone who has been using HDO2s since they were released, the potential to get a 60hz DVR with a clock without having to buy new goggles is pretty awesome (please tell me that the DVR files have an accurate time/date on them).

No antenna on receiver is fine. Transmitter can be an issue.

My first set if box goggles was 100$ its screen came out like this. Had it all the time with analog until I fully switched to hd zero.

Early in @0:30, I thought to myself. "I have a 10" Aomway monitor that is 1920x1080 has diversity. Its a bit like using Windows 3.1 but it works." Wondering if size is the only advantage. Hoping so, because it was literally the best option you could get at the time I got it.

I use my ev800d for that. Almost the same.

The big advantage of Anlagoge for me: If you want to stay cheap and want to try more different Drones or Fixed Wing, you have the Option to change any VTX and Cam together, and it is easy to setup and if you buy gooD VTX, and Cam and try to elimate Noise in the Video, you can have extreme clear And good Looking Image too!. For me I will Stay Analog for the Price, for the Price of 2 Digital Drones, you can Buy 3 Analog Drones. And I Fly Ficed Wings and Crash alot there is the Adwantage if you want do put an Analoge AIO Cam into an ZOHD Drift. You may have more Possibilitys to ralaise different Projects. If you crash an Airplane and have an new Different Airplane, you can individualy Choose the VTX Chape and size for the Airframe. And on Airplane somtimes you have to travel 400mm of Wideo wire into the front back to the rear. Yes the Image is not so good like digital, but in the Past the TOP Anlage Goggles had more Comfort to fitting into the face or if you wear glasses. I recoment for Beginners who interestet to try many Different Drones, Robottic and Fixed Wing, go to Analogue becurse you want to try many different Crafts you need the Construktion Andavantage to can Buy this amont of stuff.

Are you going to review the cetus x hd?

Kind of expensive for what it is but I guess that is because of the steadyview receiver.

I like this a lot. That 18650 is a big deal for me. I have a handful of small screens that have worn out batteries that are built in. Sure I could take them apart and put a new battery in but none of them were great screens anyway.

Did they really miss on the NR 1 Opportunity to have an analog output so this could act as an analog RX for HDZero/Walksnail Goggles X?

I still race analogue. I'm not good enough for the low latency hdzero cost to be worthwhile. I have a similar screen without diversity and this would be amazing.
