ExpressLRS Final Review and Flight Tests - Best Control Link For FPV Drones?
Does ExpressLRS live up to the hype? In this video, I recap my experience with setting up ExpressLRS, show you some of my test flights, and give a final verdict on the technology and whether you should have your eye on it.
Questions? Comments? If you have specific questions about setting up ExpressLRS, the Discord community linked below is probably the best source of information, but leave me a comment here and I’ll try to point you in the right direction.
Tired of having to re-add the VTX firmware file every time you update your fleet of HDZero VTXes? There's a faster way to do it.

The HDZero Whoop Lite Bundle lets you convert even the smallest whoops to digital FPV. It includes the 1S-capable Whoop Lite VTX and the new Nano Lite camera, allowing you to bring HDZero to the smallest drones yet. But does it live up to the hype?
Note: HDZero sent me this VTX and camera for review. My opinions are my own and HDZero did not have any editorial control or right of approval for this review.

What are you going to fly this winter? I reviewed the new Happymodel Moblite7 HDZero to evaluate it as a possible winter whoop option.
Thanks to Happymodel for supplying the whoop for this video. They did not have the opportunity to view the video before publishing, and no money changed hands.

This no-brand FPV monitor only costs $32. But is it a good deal or should you skip it? I put it to the test in this video.

This is a new idea for me; I thought it might be fun to occasionally share some quick flight footage with #YoutubeShorts. Let me know in the comments if you'd like to see more of these interspersed with my normal videos.
Short flight of my Diatone Taycan with a Caddx Orca to film. Still getting used to the flight characteristics of the cinewhoop and finding interesting lines to hit for good flowing shots.
I am impressed with the quality of the Orca; at $100 I think it offers a great value for FPV filming. The image quality does not match that of the GoPro, but I find it to be more than acceptable for learning, to keep on a secondary drone, or to use on something you might crash or lose. One bit of advice if you use one: go into the settings and turn off auto white balance. With AWB on, it's much more difficult to edit a video like this to have consistent colors.

The Scout HD is a perhaps under-appreciated goggle option for HDZero. In this review, I cover the pros and cons of these goggles and give you my impressions from testing them.

This installation and setup guide is still current as of 2022! You need to be using at least Betaflight 4.2.9 and you should get the firmware from the HDZero website linked below. But all of the steps in this guide are still current for all HDZero gear.
Ready to install your new HDZero FPV gear, or just curious how hard the setup process is? In this video, I’ll walk you through the process of installing and configuring HDZero from start to finish.
