Seems to be a really nice goggle! ORQA is in trouble even before they are on the market.. https://blog.whichfpvkwad.com/wp-content...l-RevC.pdf Posts: 1,312 Threads: 50 Likes Received: 832 in 504 posts Likes Given: 372 Joined: Jul 2018 Reputation: 51 Quote:The HDO2 is shipped in Legacy Mode. If you connect a 7-13V (2S or 3S) power source to the power port the HDO2 will automatically power on and it will power off when the source is removed. With a short press, the Power Buttonwill turn on and off the fan while in this mode.If you hold the button, the HDO2 will continuously beep to remind you the headset is in Legacy Modeand the goggles will not power down. OK, YOU INGRATES. HERE'S YOUR DAMN POWER BUTTON. NO IT ISN'T WORKING BY DEFAULT. ____ YOU ALL. (please don't buy Skyzones) The ground is for dead people.

There are rumours circulating that the HDO2's are going to be released in the next 4-5 weeks. Mr Steele is already testing a pair. There are also rumours that the DVR is the same as that in the immersionRC PowerPlay which is h.264 so way better that the current crappy DVR used in all their other goggles. • Posts: 536 Threads: 19 Likes Received: 261 in 173 posts Likes Given: 168 Joined: Sep 2018 Reputation: 10 Posts: 5,324 Threads: 674 Likes Received: 3,161 in 1,748 posts Likes Given: 2,034 Joined: Jan 2016 Reputation: 139 29-Oct-2019, 02:28 PM (This post was last modified: 29-Oct-2019, 02:33 PM by Oscar.)

Looking at the DVR specs in both the HDO and HDO2 manuals, the DVR is still the same crappy 6Mbps, MJPEG compression (AVI), 30fps DVR that they've used for years, so no improvement there unfortunately.

The new HDO2's have an adjustable fit faceplate for different face curvatures by using insertable "arcs", something similar to the Skyzones.

Likely as close to ideal as anyone has managed so far especialy if the resolution is high. Having had HD2's and having HDO's currently, 46* is like baby bear's porridge. Back to a potential ORQA/Fatshark battle next year? Wonder what SkyZone and AOMWAY are cooking-up to compete? Having just bought HDO's a while ago I'm actually a little pissed-off these things are in the pipeline but Fatshark never ceases to put the "beaten" in their version of "beaten wife syndrome"... Guilty beaten wife here, I love Fatshark products, have always had great luck with them and my Dominators fit like they used my face as a design template. • Posts: 5,324 Threads: 674 Likes Received: 3,161 in 1,748 posts Likes Given: 2,034 Joined: Jan 2016 Reputation: 139 (29-Oct-2019, 03:04 PM)SnowLeopardFPV Wrote: Well it looks like that has turned out to be a mis-informed rumour.

Can't blame them though. • Posts: 4,731 Threads: 392 Likes Received: 3,231 in 1,827 posts Likes Given: 3,214 Joined: Apr 2019 Reputation: 101 While the FOV is super tempting, unless this has some sort of special integration with BF (other than aspect ratio), I think I'll hold off. They should really do some sort of goggle buyback program with such tight release roadmaps. • Posts: 21,345 Threads: 591 Likes Received: 9,009 in 6,669 posts Likes Given: 1,428 Joined: Jun 2018 Reputation: 792 At the moment, unless the HDO2's are going to be $50-100 cheaper than the ORQA's then I say the ORQA's are still the better option because they appear to have the same specs, but at least the ORQA's have a decent DVR. The HDO2's do have adjustable focus which could be a benefit for those who need a focus that is somewhere in between what the off-the-shelf -2, -4 and -6 diopters offer, but for me that is of less value than a decent DVR. Having spent $450 just 15 months ago on the HDO's, I'm not sure I would jump in so soon with another big goggle spend. If FatShark had a trade-in option then it might possibly tempt me. Looking forward to seeing the HDO2 vs ORQA head-to-head test reviews @Oscar - You need to update your FOV tool to include the HDO2's https://oscarliang.com/js/fpvgogglefov.html |
