While the AKK may not have stacked up in this test against the others, I can say when upgrading from the original module in my Dominators to the AKK, the improvement was dramatic. It does work, the menu is intuitive, and for $35 is hard to beat.
I use the AKK in an adapter for my DJI goggles. Works fine for flying tinywhoops around the house. I feel like it has better reception than my old furious TruD, but I doubt it. I haven't taken it to any distance though.
The Furious FPV Lite is the TRUE BARGAIN! Update it and be prepared to be blown away to what $40 will get you! It sure doesn't get talked about much! ;)
Really the pro58 should have been in this roundup as the real cheap alternative. That thing is so cheap and with achilles it is so good. It would be nice to see how it fares against the others
@@aldojonathan4367 But I would want to know how this performs relative to the other cheap models shown here. I have yet to see a Pro58+achilles vs expensive receivers (rapidfire) as well
@@fabianisensee3744 I bought the Eachine pro58 around 3 or 4 months ago and recently put the Achilles software on it. wow! what a difference! huge Improvement! In my opinion it beats the socks off of the foxeer wildfire, and it would fall in between the true d and TBS fusion, Rapid Fire.
You can also flash Achillez firmware on the AKK and according to Achillez developer the AKK is a better module compared to the Pro58. I would like to see a test between the 2 running Achillez
I tried several times to write a comment about your intro. They read as very mean. Spoken with inflection they sounded funny and clever. Knowing when to NOT hit send is a special skill that more people should work on. I should take my own advice.
I am just getting back into the hobby after a few years out and am still using Fatshark Dominator V1s with the original 8 channel module that came with it. Just ordered a Furious True D V4 and looking forward to using it in these old goggles. Btw enjoyed building a Tyro 119 using your video guide and it's working well, thanks!
loved your intro ...., ... , and some humour to help contemplate screen rolling, statics, or electric waves noises. I bought a 23$ Eachine module to put on my DjiGoogle and for my personal idea of an ideal day, being outside freestyling in a breathtaking sunny scenic view with friends, it does as good as my skyzone 2 (not even flashed with Achil). Ah and why not full dji, well well most of my drones are analogic Many thanks for your great job.
So far with VAS ant mine works well enough for parks and 2000m and they are next day on amozon in Canada. LOL! Looks a lot like the Furious trueD I had that burned out in 2 years. May add fan to aKK
You get funnier by the upload. At about 5:17 I loved your commentary, "you usually have to flash it with custom firmware and oh my god" followed by silence as the AKK went completely dark for several seconds! Cracked me up.
I used the Fat Shark FSV2445 antenna diversity module for well over 2 years, keeping an eye on various other module reviews and to be honest I couldn't see any real significant difference on the picture quality (regarding interference) between the cheap modules and the more expensive modules, until ClearView & RapidFire turned up with their signal reconstruction from two different receiver modules. The original ClearView too expensive and not goggle friendly, so RapidFire it was, and it was definitely worth spending that much on one.
Thats good question. I saw some live video by steele and swingstorm speaking about DJI and range. Swing was using small FPV watch and show it to the audience, funny was when Steele says that he will not flight at that conditions, on watch it was still good. Anyway ill to buy a TBS shit on my first not box googles.
I've been slowly getting into long range, tried it with dji and can get out to like 3.5 km, put a mini tank on a ar wing, with the foxeer wildfire and my old 13 dbi spironet patch I hit 6.5 km without a hint of breakup or noise before turning around. Landed with 3.5 avg volts on a lion 4s pack. I think ima go for 8km today
Awesome review! This test showed me that maybe the reason I'm getting a lot of breakups with my NexWave RF is because it's not well built. It was an analog module that the seller included extra when I first got my Fatshark Dominator v3 goggles. I'm now using NexWave RF with my DJI goggles via an analog adapter. I will buy URUAV module! Thanks a lot Joshua!
:) fantastic intro! My AKK was pretty solid TBH and my benchmark is the RapidFire. I only had the AKK as a backup and every time i used it was floored by its performance. BUT ... AKK isn't exactly known for QC, so maybe i got lucky, etc...and for the life of my I could barely figure out the menu system. ALSO BUT: there basically aren't any case covers out there for the AKK. They say the TrueD or something cover fits, but i don't think it does. You really end up compressing the screen badly. I found *one* cover on thingiverse that didn't seem to bad though but wasn't ideal. But i've also had 2 RX5808 units and have been really, really happy with them. Especially the one i put achilles on.
Sadly thats all i have is the akk its been over a year of saving just to get back in the air but i agree the akk sucks but its all i have being a cancer survivor twice over but I was left with a brain tumor and a seizure disorder and unable to work so I now live on a very small fixed income so just buyi g a new one is out of the question and with the prices going up on everything i dont even make enough to cover all the bills sadly but thanks JB another great video
Just figured out the best way to figure out which is better than which. Watch on your phone in little screen. Hold the screen close enough they blend together. You're eyes will still be able to tell which side is more blinky while only seeing "1" image. The akk interface looks like the trueD
I use analog! But I just upgraded from nexwave race module to tbs fusion. Picked it up used for £70. And honestly, wouldnt look at another rx. The difference is night and day. Except the day would be on another planet. Amazing
I just bought rapid fire for my attitude v5s, and I'm amazed at how horrible my stock module was. With my mobula6 I can sit in my living room, on the couch and fly my whole property, behind trees, behind a shed, and I have 1.3 acres. I know it's not far, but I end up losing radio signal before I lose video at all.
The beard, new lighting ? and looking smooth and chilled . Damn I’ll take you out 😉🤣. Your looking well Dr B. And as for analog , sorry what’s this historic tech your talking about.
I bought a wildfire as temporary while waiting for my fusion to arrive and i gotta say wildfire gives me cleaner video image but fusion signal is just another lever. for the price of wildfire its really good if youll compare price to performance ratio ill go with wildfire any day.
If you need a budget module just get the pro58, it's cheaper and down the road you can upgrade it with the achilles firmware. Just going from memory but I think it's pretty good.
Soooo.. Last night my AKK module came in from Amazon... The receivers in my Viper goggles died and I’m planning to use the Skystars external modular holder and go AV into my goggles. Yes I’m a cheap dad, and Christmas is next month. Could I get HD3s or HDO on eBay? Probably. I’ll let you know how it goes.
Hey Joshua, most pilots I know just run rapid fire or true d stuff or even DJI and I run races weekly with 5 inchers in summer and whoops through the winter, we do ok with attendance creeping up til covid hit, which led me to a question and your opinion. Do you think the hobby is still growing? Can you tell off your viewer count at all? Maybe lockdowns have led people to CZcams and more pilots will emerge, this vid led me to ask the question lol, even new pilots now seem to just go with "the perceived best"
Eachine Pro58 w/Achilles is freakin' amazing. I used it for a year before I bought RapidFire, and where I fly I can't tell a difference, though I'm not a parking garage guy. I also prefer the OLED interface of the Achilles firmware over the RapidFire menus. Just wish the Pro58 had the 4-way joystick rather than that stupid wheel thing.
I'm using eachine $24 module with free pirx firmware. I don't really see why i'd need a better one. If you look for tests around, pro58 is slightly worse than rapidfire (i don't think it's worth the upgrade, and actually in some tests rapidfire loses signal before pro58, they are using same receiver modules btw) and pro58 is absolutely better than fusion and wildfire. I'd say you only need rapidfire if you are doing competitive racing on long complicated indoors tracks. Rapidfire technology wouldn't give you more range or penetration, it only slightly improves the multipathing interference. If you just need an analog module for your dji or ground station, don't spend more than $25.
you might want to test another AKK and also test it between the pro58, both of them with and without the custom firmware, should get a hell of a lot interested as there is still a lot who just buy cheep, call it best budget RX you can buy in 2020
I honestly can't see that much improvement to justify the most expensive modules. Sure, the rapid fire etc IS better, but is it 2x - 3x the price of improvement? Not to me. However, I'm flying DJI now so that's a moot point. I didn't want to keep making incremental improvement in my image, I just went digital 😊
Too bad you didn't test the Furious FPV Lite...I got one for $39.99 ! When I contacted Tech support they said it's exactly the same as the 4.0, but without the fancy lap timer and in goggles display. I actually like the simple 3 button interface better than the 4.0's trackball! I found it's damn good and when I compared it to other reviewers test flights, similar to yours, against Rapidfire and the others you tested, it performed about 95% as good as Rapidfire, but without the big price. Could it fly in exactly the same places as Rapidfire, YES! Was there a tiny bit more fuzz to the image, YES. Did it effect the ability to fly at all, NO. Was the Rapidfire better, Yes. But it's also about 4 times the price! And, it had barely any more breakup. Don't believe me, Go check out Gal Kremer's and CurryKitten's tests. One's in a parking garage just like this test, and you'll be very surprised what $40 whole dollars gets you. (make sure you upgrade the Lite to the latest firmware).... :)
unless you are always flying in locations where mutli-pathing is a problem I would say I don't see $100 difference between the URUAV and the "better" more expensive modules. That being said I use the Eachine pro58 with Achilles and it has been rock solid, been 3 miles out no issues. I don't fly in multi-path environments. All that being said the user interface looks like it sucks.
I do think the AKK is basic on a old open source project, that included the firmware. It’s the Great grandfather of all modules. I’ve see projects where you can solder on a USB and do your own updates.
How about the Rapid mix or whatever it's called?! Not sure on a price or if you can even buy it without the googles? Might be a good option if it's priced right and available.
@@JoshuaBardwell I watched and was blown away by it's performance, that's why I mentioned it. I've not seen it advertised for sale yet though. Hopefully they don't price it at a similar price to rapidfire and keep it as a good budget option.
It would be interesting to see how the modules perform when you fly with other people. My friend using Wildfire saw my channel when we did a gokart chase in Pattaya a while ago. Never happened on his skyzones. The same wildfire performs fine for him in a solo flying situation 6 km out.
about the uruav, yeah it's a bit confusing: up & down buttons switch between saved channels (by default all the Race band). To me uruav evo has best reception for the price. Interface is a bit confusing and probably can't be upgraded (?).... but still performing great.
Analog won't be dead for a while, 'cause who can afford to get HD video for all their quads and planes? We are not all big shot youtube reviewers... ;). Happy Thanksgiving!
All their RF module (the thing with a tin roof housing) comes out the same RF factory source because 5+ GigaHertz is where the dielectric material matters and digital circuit factory don't do those things. The reason AKK is bad is most likely because it sources the leftover grade B output of the RF factory.
Hey Joshua. I have an idea. Could you add the link to random affiliate links for all of the companies that you have the links for. It would really help when finding the links to support you on unlisted companies.
I have a Eachine Pro58 oled diversity vrx board I wanna use with my DJI goggles v2, using a Uruav adapter. BUT should I get a vtx using NTSC or PAL? I live in Europe, but does that matter regarding what video format that works with my gear?
@@JoshuaBardwell ah okey. Thanks JB. I would say that cheap modules is relevant for dji pilots who want to fly tiny whoops now during winter. So for me these tests are relevant! 👍
Great testing and review, Joshua! 😃 But, hey... Never let your wife go... I have a feeling you wouldn't get along in dating sites. 😬 Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Hi, your videos are always interesting! Could you do a review of the Fatshark Attitude V6, it is in pre-order but no one has reviewed it yet, thank you!
Ive been using the Akk module since I started.. it works...but when it comes to range its no bueno. Think imma go with Rapidfire now that I want to do more long range.
@Joshua Bardwell, how do you think any of these stack up against the stock fatshark attitude v5 module? Are the cheap ones any better? I would try FOXEER, but they dont work with the v5’s😭
Hi Joshua, can I fit and use the rx5808evo on the eachine ev300d? Because banggood send me this module with my goggles, that is eachine ev300d... Thanks 4 answer.
Hey one question, Just got the toothless nano, hooked it up to my fc and now I only get the Foxeer osd („Foxeer, voltage, timer) but not the betaflight osd from my fc. So how do I turn off the Foxeer osd and enable the bf osd? I believe wiring is correct... I am using the mamba mk3 stack;) Thx so much!
I don't do racing, just freestyle and cinematic flying. Do you think I should get the skyzone04x or just go into DJI Goggles already? I have two tinywhoops that I still fly analog with tho so will probably get a analog module if I get DJI. Or wait for V2? Thoughts?
If you have the money, especially if you don't race, then I think DJI is likely to make you insanely happy. You can get an analog module if you still fly some micros and they work ok, with a tiny bit of additional latency compared to analog, but manageable.
Bardwell in his element again, talking dirty tech online :)

All their RF module (the thing with a tin roof housing) comes out the same RF factory source because 5+ GigaHertz is where the dielectric material matters and digital circuit factory don't do those things. The reason AKK is bad is most likely because it sources the leftover grade B output of the RF factory.
Hey Joshua. I have an idea. Could you add the link to random affiliate links for all of the companies that you have the links for. It would really help when finding the links to support you on unlisted companies.

Hello.. Mr Joshua about the pins connection URUAV RX5808 EVO it's possible to tell me where is the 5v, GND, Video and Audio? Best Regards
I have a Eachine Pro58 oled diversity vrx board I wanna use with my DJI goggles v2, using a Uruav adapter. BUT should I get a vtx using NTSC or PAL? I live in Europe, but does that matter regarding what video format that works with my gear?
What would you recommend i fly fixed wing and I live in desert. I also have Crossfire.
Is uruav pronounced "your uav."? Like the old-school SMS text "ur".
When did you do the eachine pro58 in this parking garage test? 🤔 Can't find it
This would be the most recent test of Eachine w/ Achilles czcams.com/video/lH-sUA0vtw4/video.html
@@JoshuaBardwell ah okey. Thanks JB.
I would say that cheap modules is relevant for dji pilots who want to fly tiny whoops now during winter. So for me these tests are relevant! 👍
Maybe double press the button quickly to change bands? Thats odd and sucky for sure
Great testing and review, Joshua! 😃
But, hey... Never let your wife go... I have a feeling you wouldn't get along in dating sites. 😬
Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
My internal skyzone module not bad. I got the rapidfire. Think it be a lot better a lot longer range. its a lil better but its not night and day..
Awesome intro Joshua! Hilarious.
I always thought that URUAV was pronounced as "Your UAV". Cause 'UR' is short for 'your' when texting etc. Anyways, im running the fusion on the DJIs
Hi, your videos are always interesting!
Could you do a review of the Fatshark Attitude V6, it is in pre-order but no one has reviewed it yet, thank you!
Cool I'm from Selmer 👍
Ive been using the Akk module since I started.. it works...but when it comes to range its no bueno. Think imma go with Rapidfire now that I want to do more long range.
@Joshua Bardwell, how do you think any of these stack up against the stock fatshark attitude v5 module? Are the cheap ones any better? I would try FOXEER, but they dont work with the v5’s😭
How did I not now we live in the same town?!
Hey Joshua, I have the fatshark attitude v5 , should I Buy some things like the URUAV? Or the fatshark attitude v5 is good enough as it is?
I wonder if you hold the center and press up and down if that changes the band
Hi Joshua, can I fit and use the rx5808evo on the eachine ev300d? Because banggood send me this module with my goggles, that is eachine ev300d... Thanks 4 answer.
is the AKK on this using stock firmware?
Literally sitting in the middle of a severe cyclone and watching your video..❤️
Hey one question,
Just got the toothless nano, hooked it up to my fc and now I only get the Foxeer osd („Foxeer, voltage, timer) but not the betaflight osd from my fc.
So how do I turn off the Foxeer osd and enable the bf osd?
I believe wiring is correct... I am using the mamba mk3 stack;)
Thx so much!
I bought the Skyzone O4x’s and I bought the AKK just to have quadversity and the AKK won’t turn on. Can anyone help?
I don't do racing, just freestyle and cinematic flying. Do you think I should get the skyzone04x or just go into DJI Goggles already? I have two tinywhoops that I still fly analog with tho so will probably get a analog module if I get DJI. Or wait for V2? Thoughts?
If you have the money, especially if you don't race, then I think DJI is likely to make you insanely happy. You can get an analog module if you still fly some micros and they work ok, with a tiny bit of additional latency compared to analog, but manageable.
Doing the Trent Palmer intro?
