Fatshark Dominator V2 - DVR Test

I think these are pretty cool goggles.
Quick specs : Built in DVR / 32 deg FOV / Bright.
Does anybody know when the 2.4 receiver module will be available...?

Bugger that, just ordered 1.3

I just got my laserbgc module. Only done a test in the house and it worked great. Waiting on the weather for a proper test though!

one think I might add though they don't like the stock rubber duckies that come with a lot of 1.2 gear but use good quality skews and you will be amazed...

the 1.3 Bruno...? Bloody hell, I know what's gonna happen - only 3 channels, that means 5.8 will be clear at Mad Dogs FFS :)

Guys last night after ordering my 1.3 from Laser I was informed by someone on this forum that the Dom HD's and the V2's are NOT compatible with 1.3. He gave me a link to FPVLAB where Fatshark themselves say that an IC aboard these goggles for the DVR causes major noise, thus cutting down the sensitivity, thus making them practically unusable past 100m or so.

Please tell me this is bullshit. I'm getting conflicting reports...

A good report is this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5fl_HVwcS4

The bad news is this thread - post number 80 http://fpvlab.com/forums/showthread.php?35421-Fatsharks-new-product-update-thread.....-HD-s/page8

Quote:
Good news and bad news with the 1G3 modules. The good news is we've finally been able to bench test the sensitivity (took awhile to get parts to build a screened box for 1G3). The results were very promising but that didn't correlate to our flight testing (short range on flight testing - very early to snow). The bad news is I found out why; the DVR in the DOMV2 and DOMHD (which we did all the flight testing on) drastically kills the sensitivity. When placed in the DOMV1 it works fine. More testing to continue but we're going ahead with a beta run. It just likely won't work well with the new headsets since the DVR IC is always powered.

So... what's the actual thruth you reckon?

rich there referring to the actual fatshark 1.3 module not laser I repeat not laser

[mark1975]

the module from fatshark will be launched in a couple more months from my source Patrick over there from all accounts upto the last update it will only work with older version of the doms and NOT the newer doms v2/domds hd now that may change but upto presss that's how it stands ..

Wait... so FatShark bring out a 1.2 module for their own goggles, and it screws the DVR up, but a 3rd party module works  (?)

I think FatShark need to do a bit more engineering on this... surely

Sweet Mark, thanks for that!!! I did also order an 8 channel digital receiver for 1.2/3 co's let's face it, goggles module or no module, one does want to go farther with a plane :) I'm just totally excited to be getting 1.3 on my face with no additionals for penetration at least. Shit if I had this in the Kruger National Park my vids would have looked slightly different...

[mark1975]

yeah wayne. was only noticed by greg when he did field tests the dvr screws the range up thing is to make it work you would have to disable the dvr power altogether to get it to work perfect(kind of goes against the dvr addon for me lol)
