It seems that the Artosyn SoC is more than capable of good things but unfortunately the Walksnail developers don't seem to know how to tune it for optimal / best performance. So while it should all be fixable in firmware, the developers don't appear to have the know-how. While I hate to say it, the original 3.5 year old DJI FPV System still has better performance and better image quality than the current Walksnail Avatar HD system. Walksnail just need to try and poach some of the DJI developers.

Hi all. I bought a Walksnail Avatar HD Pro Starvis II camera, and connected it to an old (how time flies) VTX V1 video transmitter with 8 GB of memory and two antennas. I received two files from the air unit: a video file and an OSD data file. I do not have a third file with gyroscope data that the camera should issue. How to set up gyroscope data acquisition?

Got the new firmware loaded up yet?

Yes, V32.37.10

I'm not sure that the gyro in the Pro camera is actually supported on the V1 VTX's or VTX's that only have 8GB of onboard memory. When the Starvis II camera was first released all the Caddx marketing information seemed to indicate that gyro data was only available when used with the 32GB VTX. I have no idea why that would be.

I just checked on Discord and some others are complaining about the same issue even when using the latest firmware. No gyro data from the Starvis II camera when connected to a V1 VTX. So if there is no setting in the goggle menus to switch gyro data on or off then you might be out of luck. If that is the case, Caddx should be clearly stating in the product listing for the camera which VTX's it's actually compatible with.

It would probably be worth sending an email to Caddx support to get a definitive answer. If you do find out, can you please post the official answer back here for the benefit of others who may be facing the same issue.

Thanks for your attention to my problem. I wrote an email to Caddx support. I will report their answer.

I’m about to install the starlight pro camera on my Cineon which has the V1 air unit. Very interested in what Caddx says …

I got a response from Caddx, they advise to install firmware 33.39.10.

Has anyone here done testing with these new single antenna VTXs for range or know of anyone who has? Im curious if they are similar, but my experience tells me that diversity is going to be better.

Hey c2v2, I've been sharing my experiences here:

Hmmmm



So ... a milliwatt is not a milliwatt. Interesting.

This is some really good analytical testing by Chris. So Walksnail was lying to us with the V1 system as to the actual power levels, and both the V1 and V2 systems might not actually be capable of outputting more than 500mW. I will wait with baited breath to hear what response Walksnail have to this  

I hope Chris does the same testing on the DJI FPV System (the original V1 system which has settable power levels unlike the new O3 system which doesn't) so we can see if DJI have also been lying to us about the actual power level their system is outputting to.

Wouldn't it be nice if payment was made after the receipt and evaluation of goods?
Then the amount paid could be adjusted accordingly as well.

Not really knowing much about rf power, but is digital and analog an apples to apples comparison? Seems digital is using up a lot more bandwidth and transmitting over a broader spectrum of frequencies, so does that need to be factored into the testing? And also WS V1 has two transmission antennas so even if the power is not double maybe it needs to be considered in the comparison?

I guess in the end though the performance is key regardless of the numbers. Guess DJI is still the master of the game, deliver the best penetration with O3 and don't bother disclosing the power specs.
