  • The AKK Alpha 10 is one of the most powerful Analog VTX out there with a monster 10W output
    In this video I test it against the Dji O3 Digital system to see how they compare!

      So, yes you can now write that you flew that far... Great!
      But, being up so high in the open sky, what did you actually see or accomplish? Up so high I do not see the enjoyment, fun, excitement of FPV... I see the stress, anxiety, and fear of losing your drone and it's huge cost. That's all. I say that because it's not fun to fly in the open sky so far up, with nothing to fly around, between, through, etc.
      IMO, long range is the most boring way to fly, and gives the most stress and anxiety. That's not fun! It messes with a person's nerves!
      Flying around, through, between trees and objects it's what makes FPV so fun, not open sky way high flying.
      Sure, you can say you did it, but don't try to tell me it's actually fun!

      @KOrnhOliO1 it is fun. I look forward to it. I build and plan it out. I'm standing on a huge hill with nothing but flat ground to my destination. I never have to go higher than 600 ft using 1.3ghz. It's in the open desert so if it goes down no big deal. I just have to ride a dirt bike to get it. It's better at night when I can see the animals using a thermal camera.

    Analog's biggest challenge is rejecting the reflected signal from surrounding. When it can bounce and reach to the video receiver it creates artifacts. IMO best use case for this vtx is using it with long range planes. Thanks for the video Rimzler

    • @KOrnhOliO1
      @KOrnhOliO1 Před 21 dnem +2

      You want really short range and all of that snow of analog, fly with HDZero (analog2).
      That's it's nickname because it's exactly like analog, but slightly sharper. 30m out you'll get that crappy looking analog breakup! Fly around trees or bushes or any objects and it degrades ultra fast. It's soooooooooo far behind Walksnail and DJI it's not even close.
      Watch JB's video testing the range of the 3 systems. He starts in his driveway... DJI goes way, WAY down his country road all the way to the end where the street sign is. It's a long friggin way! 😊
      Walksnail gets about half as far, but looks pretty good getting half way there.
      HDZero barely gets farther than his entry road into his property! Maybe 50m... Not over 75m and it goes to the Rainbow 🌈 screen of Death ☠️💀! Complete loss of signal. It gets "maybe" 1/30 as far as Walksnail. Maybe. Once you watch the video, you'll say it gets no where! Cuz, it really never even gets on his country road!
      It's gotta be why it only has 10% market share... Cuz, to be completely straight forward and honest - it sucks!
      Sure, maybe use HDZero if you're way into racing, but now I hear racers are going back to analog because there's an issue that's come up racing HDZero that makes it undesirable. I'm not into racing so I forget the details.
      HDZero is also the most expensive BY FAR. You can get the DJI V2 goggles on Amazon for $350 refurbished, in brand new condition. My friend bought them and they looked perfect! Not a scratch and 90 day warranty.
      Or, you can buy the DJI Integra for the same $350 anywhere in the USA.
      The V2's will also do analog FPV. Not Integra.
      They both come with antennas and a battery.
      The HDZero goggles sell for $600 and you still have to buy 4 antennas and a battery for around $100 - 150, depending on what you choose. Then, add to that the worlds apart in reliability and durability, with DJI being almost bulletproof, rarely does anything go wrong, if ever! ...
      Where I know people that have had to completely give up on HDZero because they were constantly having to replace burned out VTX's (the part that installs on the drone) all the Friggin' time... Typically over$100 each! Over and over and over, until they finally said they couldn't pay any more to replace them, and quit HDZero! This happened to a prominent reviewer whose been reviewing FPV products on his channel for 10 years!
      Imo, HDZero being so expensive for such a tiny improvement in performance over plain ole analog, is the WORST VALUE in all of FPV! So much money for so little. I'd stick with analog before buying HDZero. And, with only 10% market share, you can see most people agree with me. 🤔😁👍

    is O3 not 2w? anyway maybe for some long range this would be nice but still meh, I mean this probably only good now for some other purposes I dont want to mention here, but we all know what I mean. Anyway what frame would even be able to hold this, probably only AOS cause most other frames are just way too small even the 7 inch ones. Also with Walksnail people do 30km or more so it is possible to go further with digital, just not with DJI. Nice test though

    It would take 5.2w to go twice the distance as 1.3w (DJI O3) and it'd take 20.8w to go twice that. So 10w btw will only get you just over twice the distance at a 1.3w vtx and you have non of the digital benefits.
