Analog VS Digital – FPV RACE SHOOTOUT!

1. Vanover is not human,…….

2. That was some INTENSE flying, But I think Bardwell's mad TIMER skillz stole the show. ?

3. I dont get it, you ask us to comment and fight against the faa and remote id yet you patronize a company that has openly supported it. Stop supporting dji!!!!!

4. Hey… would be great to mount both systems (analog & digital) on a quad, and then compare the DVR from the analog against the digital (split screen) , and try to see in SLO-MO what that "variable latency" feels and looks like…

5. The problem with this test is they both have the same specs and power output but the DJI fpv system is heavier therefore giving the analog system the weight advantage

6. DJI sucks

7. We are living a fantastic time being able to see those technology evolves. Just FPV is already a blast. When I was a kid being a pilot seemed unreachable. When I start flying, digital was just dream. And now I’d love to fly with it but it’s not reachable for my wallet so I hope in 5 or less year they will be better and cheaper digital system. But also my FPV budget will handle all my desire ???

8. Holy shit that boy can fly

9. Great video. It still baffles my mind how Alex flies the way he does. I was on the edge of my seat and ducking through those gates. It is nice to see that digital is getting very close. Looking forward to how it continues.

10. There is no way in hell I'd buy DJI from their link.

11. Besides latency… I wonder about weigh?, What's the difference between analog VS digital?, Does it matter?

12. And it's….. analog for the win!!!! Lol

13. Fricken bardwell cracks me up.

14. Vanover is so fasst

15. Joshua at the end??

16. Great review, fellas! ??

17. Hey alex what do you know about futaba ??? That's old school

18. Thank you for your honesty. I fly both and agree with your findings. DJI looks great but variable latency is bad for racing. It feels like the quad is slowing down and speeding up when the latency changes. The variable latency even bothers me in freestyle because I do a lot of fast proximity freestyle where timing is still really important. I use DJI mainly for cruising and taking in the beautiful scenery. Cheers!

19. The racing videos are gold. Thanks

20. Your sample size was one. One pilot. It would have been interesting to see reactions from a wide range of pilots with different levels of experience. The quads did not look identically built. One had a 3d printed turtle mode fin. That could have changed the performance. The DJI air unit is heavier which could have changed the performance as well. A Vista could have been used in this situation to lower the build weight. It may have not changed the results, but I felt like better scientific method could have been used here.

21. You guys didn’t sell your soul to DJI… just your credibility ?
    I thought you were fair, though.

22. Couldn't be more fair

23. It’s very clear to me that he is way much comfortable using analog because it’s his everyday goggle and transmitter, it’s like Hamilton driving Ayrton Senna’s car or vice versa!

24. How about analog through the DJI goggles?

25. I agree with vanover, there is variable latency and at times it’s bad. It’s not ready yet, it’s getting better but not there yet.

26. abort the test, abort the test, CADDX VISTA with DJI just arrived! it's full 20grams lighter

27. Plot twist:
    It was sponsored by FatShark ?

28. Alex, your cerebral processing speed is so extreme, you at some point, photons may be inadequate….. But there is hope, Musk is working on Neuralink……… skip the use of the fingers and cut those laps down to the mid 8seconds…..
    You are a machine, sheathed in cells.

29. Hey guys, first nice episode. I wanted to ask u guys on how many mw. do u flown with the Dji ? Because I guess the latancy gets better with 1200mw. Thank you, and keep going like this <3

30. You mentioned "variable" latency. Is that because the digital system is constantly modulating its power/packet frequency compared to an analog system that maintains a constant frequency latency? Is that a factor of the VTX power modulation or digital processing? Thanks AWESOME video.

31. DJI Module for the Fatshark would be nice.

32. This was a great episode. I think you should do an indoor shoot out version

33. haha guys remember analog ahhaha… when u payed like 20 bucks on bangoo for that broken camera replacement and were good to go
