Now this is getting me excited for fpv again!!! Fpv shouldn't be about breaking the bank to have a amazing experience! Thank you for putting the work in to show future possibilities 🎉
i never cease to be amazed at the open source guys who do this kind of work. i remember when gyroflow started up and looked for ways to get free stabilisation for fpv pilots, tonnes of research and various attemtps and today look at it, world class stabilisation. if openipc is anywhere near achieving a result we should all get behind them as much as possible. the hobbies roots are open source, and we must try to inspire that kind of innovation everytime it appears.
Open Source Software and Cheap Hardware made in China is the success formular in this hobby. I fully expect this taking over the freestyle / hobby market.
Kevin - It's So good to see you posting again. Thank you for sharing your experience with OpenIPC so that we all get to learn with you. Goodspeed Stingy. ~S.J. from Sunny Sarasota~
That's so awesome! You're still doing the hobby passion you love. I'm so happy you like open IPC. I feel like the inner tinker in me would like messing with it, but I don't have enough time for what I do love in this hobby
I feel like this is one of those things that will be super awesome and useful in the not too distant future, but its still a little early. Looking forward to seeing it progress. Glad to see you're still ripping. Just trying to get back in the game myself, after a 2-3yr break.
Good to hear! I'm happy with ELRS, Betaflight and SpeedyBee Stacks. The only thing missing is a cost effective, open source VTX product to replace my aging but reliable and cheap analogue VTX.
Just realised I've been watching your video's for 8 years now - time goes too fast. Looking forward to more OpenIPC content, I've held off HD anything and now glad I have done as this is starting to look really good, ordered a Radxa so will start dipping my toes in the water I think.
Thanks for advocating for a truely open system. It feels like we will finally get a good video system without registration bs, high prices and restrictions on where we can or cannot stream to.
I agree. I'm looking forward to using an open source digital FPV system. The progress they have made since I got this working is mind blowing. I'm starting to play catch up again.
It is definitely awesome for that. I've got some other interesting OpenIPC gear that is more geared toward that use. I need to get a fixed wing up with it.
Ive seen some other videos with OPC and they where way worse and not even fly able, yours is amazing...WTH is going on? Why is your video so good clean with almost no breakup? Damn good to see you posting again 👍🏻
Hé use radxa with gstreamer instead of pixelpilot on android. This is way th video is clear. But now the pixelpilot for Android got a New update that fix the weird artefact and laggy feeling and its as good as radxa.
To be fair it requires a bit of tuning and settings changes to achieve what you saw in the video . Though breakups are largely dependent on your ground station setup
Yeah I have been away from the hobby for a while, first COVID and then the stupid fn... regulations. 🤦 BUT I'm thinking of getting back into flying, at least for fun.
It should be a stable latency system from my understanding (I could be wrong) there are no retransmissions in its current form. When you loose too many packets based on your Forward Error Correction (FEC) settings it has breakup. It is weird, you can see an image that is old but has movement of the large objects for a fraction of a second. I believe this occurs until another I frame is received. You can fly through it but I wouldn't want to be in tight proximity when this happens.
Wow, night and day difference compared to the results seen by Bardwell and MadsTech, this looked totally viable, well done. Would love to see your exact configuration in the software side
Tried OpenIPC myself a couple of days ago. I also used the Runcam Wifi Link and mounted it on an RC car. As Vrx I used an rtl8812au ac180 and a radxa zero 3w connected to my Fatshark HDO's. The setup is still not straightforward and took me a couple of evenings but absolutely doable (some basic linux experience definitely helps). Because of the early state of this project I did not expect much - but OpenIPC really surprised me. With more or less default settings I was able to get really good penetration and could even drive my RC car behind two buildings before the image got blocky and then broke up. This made me really excited about FPV again 😁 I think OpenIPC really has potential!
Even as someone that loves flying DJI for the video quality/simplicity and HDZ for the low latency… I’m excited for the future of this even if it’s not ready right now for the mainstream. This is the future of FPV!
I've flown analog since 2015 and gonna be fun to try this new stuff out. I'm really interested in openIPC and think imma make the switch from analog when more gear hits the marked
First of all, so nice to receive Stingy videos notifications ❤. What latency are we talking about? I can see some wobbles that look very much as how I fly when latency is high. Minor corrections caused by the slightly disconnection with the quad. But of course it's a very interesting thing to follow it's evolution.
33 ms latency. It isn’t bad. There were lots of extra wobbles because it was a janky bird. 7” with 5 inch props cg off and not tuned. I’m confident I could fly it well if I put it in a more standard build.
People often say this would go the route of ELRS and I really hope it does but everyone seems to conveniently forget that the moment you were able to flash the first R9 modules, it was already about as good as Crossfire but with lower latency. (I'm flying the Mario module btw, it's pretty good and coming from analog, the quality is excellent)
awesome video , if you can stomach a minor increase in baseline latency RubyHD is far more user friendly than the WFB-NG setup . and also there are plans to release a sort of shield for the radxa that should make the whole ground station building process alot less of a hassle . This space is evolving so fast that just when you think you've caught up they make a new announcement
I've looked into Ruby but I'm not sure it is for me. It seems that OpenIPC is moving to replicate a lot of the upsides of Ruby such as OSD control for channels etc. I just don't want to spend time learning something that looks like it could be obsolete soon.
@@stingersswarm Nice. Yeah when I was messing with OpenIPC on my bench it helped to be a nerd about WiFi and video compression codecs, because you can tweak so many advanced settings in the configs. I was also tweaking the receive side for absolute minimum latency. Disabling all extra processing and buffering to get it as close to the raw stream hitting the display panel as possible. I used mpv for my video player because you can really get in there and dig into the settings.
@@mjodr This was actually just the standard flash of the Radxa ground station firmware. I've messed around with doing it in linux on the Orange Pi 5 Plus.
@@stingersswarm I was bench testing so my "ground station" was my powerful x86 desktop computer. MPV runs fine on all those SBC platforms AFAIK. I looked at how the OpenIPC team was trying to do the receive/decoding side in their premade images and didn't like it mostly because I wasn't familiar with it and couldn't verify if there was extra processing going on in the signal path/chain. I knew I could fully control MPV. It's possible if you do something crazy with ffmpeg or some other special player you can knock off some latency, but on my mpv stats I was at like ridiculously low latency numbers once I tuned it for this application. Then I went a step further and tuned my display driver to reduce any buffering and latency as well. Helps to know the ins and outs of the entire system. All my unnecessary research for years into these topics all of a sudden came together to my advantage! hahaha
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS I have been watching Mario for years, it's so exciting to see how far this project has come. It used to be him trying different chips through an endless set of different stacks, and test flights almost every video. Years of that. Now I could BUY a board that was born from that crucible. I wish I could code, I would contribute.
NICE VID. I believe you are in touch with the devs. Congrats on you all. I'm very excited about this project, despite being a Walksnail user. My only concern is that, for Freestyle a 4:3 screen is way more immersive than a 16:9 screen. Do you believe there will be a possibility to change as in many analogic googles?
Mads tech did a latency comparison and it was super impressive. Pretty much on par with DJI. Considering you can configure it so much it probably actually has lower latency then DJI with your settings. Have you tried flying the radxa using goggles at 60fps. I’m curious how the latency compares with lower frame rate.
i think you proved the system pretty good. They have to come up with some kind of focus mode. Also why are you flying in a monitor instead of hdmi into your goggles?
It can. I've used it like that. But I've had issues. Even using their recommended settings I get dropped frames and weirdness. I think it has to do with a frame rate mismatch.
@@stingersswarm I only flew analog prior to openipc. I have no reference for comparing it to what digital 'should' feel like. I am super interested in your antenna setup. :)
I'm not ready to say my antenna setup is ideal. I used two TBS Triumphs on the drone and one Triumph and one patch on the GCS. It seems to be working well. I know a lot of guys run linear on OpenIPC but I just ran what I'm familiar with and what I believe will work well.
@@stingersswarm I also went for broke trying what I know. I run axii2's right now on GS and foxeer lolipops on the drones, RHCP. I ordered a second wifi adapter and usb hub breakout such that I will be able to run 4 antenna on GS.
I believe there is a dedicated goggle in the works. Not sure about a module like the rapid fire etc. I don't think that will support the higher resolution.
@@stingersswarm Yea i didnt think about that. A new goggle would be nice. its gonna be hard for people to compete with this new DJI stuff thats coming if the prices are legit.
This is a lot better results than Bardwell was getting... Also, $80 (for VTX, camera and VRX) is a lot less than the links he posted. On your links, it's $90 fro the VTX & camera alone, and I couldn't find a link to a VRX...
Ya its promising but for anyone that hates latency not yet. For gentle cruisers sure but even on vista i always hated not seeing myself hit the pole lol. Until anything is better than Vista, I don't want it. Good stuff though. Been going backwards n falling in love with analog
@stingersswarm yes hdzero for racing is great but the loss is a lot my sudden than analog with no warning. How's walksnail compared to O3? I never got into walksnail cause I don't see the point compared to O3. have you found it better in anyway? Also it was long time ago but thanks for that video explaining rates it was 1st Class ;)
Awesome to see cheaper open source firmware systems. No government policies needed, haha And you are still in Perth? Hope you being looked after by a local FPV group here, shown any other great flying spots. Just government wants to big brother you up the wazoo here, caution.😊
Is already cheaper than analog. If box Google are release with tow antenna and cheap LCD 720p screen for 80bucks will be kill analog and everybody will fly hd
Competition breeds innovation. When the corpo giants greed themselves out of the target market, community driven geniuses rise to the occasion. Love to see it, can't wait to watch it evolve 💪
@@stingersswarm I tried my friends rig, he bought the prefab unit (can't remember the brand). I was not impressed. It felt like a videogame rubber band lag, hitching forward. Consistent, every half second.
@@hattrickFPV that's sad to hear , I can understand the sentiment about the Mbps , I've been able to push mine to 10mbps at mcs 3 which wasn't too bad . I'm curious which image of the radxa your friend was running - I recall some earlier images like v1.4 had an issue with memory leak causing micro stutters to increase in frequency. This was rectified a while back though . But yeah all of this is a work in progress, I would say openIPC won't really go mainstream right now, maybe in a year or 2 I could see it happen though
stop the international versions or at least the german which is terrible, the translation is mediocre and your german voice is arteficial and annoying. Title and description have been translated too and they are bad, really bad. Your content is great, but my video is appearing with german titles and description I can not turn back into english. I was only able to change the voice to english united states.
Yeah I'm not selling my DJI gear yet. The main problem I see with this is that it's all WiFi based - DJI used WiFi way, way before, like on Phantom 1. Their Lightbridge was already an SDR solution, and that was 4 generations ago. Unless there's some cheap IP camera SoC that has a hackable 5G modem instead of WiFi chip, I'm not holding my breath on the future of this.
I get what you mean but really openIPC FPV just utilises the WiFi hardware , it's not transmitting data via WiFi , open IPC uses wfb-ng which is a firmware that puts the WiFi module into monitor mode and that allows openIPC to pump out raw data packets . There are of course limitations with using WiFi modules like this , which is why in the future they will most likely be switching to a different transmission system , which is probably soon since caddx has now become an official partner of openIPC and there are some hints that they will be making their video data transmission layer available to openIPC based upon GitHub requests and commits
Do you even know why you say that? Or it's just a catch phrase :) Please do tell what made you scared of Wifi radios? Please do tell what 5g modem gives you for FPV that IEEE 802.11 (aka 5g/2g wifi) does not give you... I'm not saying DJI is not the best, it is, but not necessary because of the radio
Now this is getting me excited for fpv again!!! Fpv shouldn't be about breaking the bank to have a amazing experience! Thank you for putting the work in to show future possibilities 🎉
Yeah I'm stoked to see where it goes too.
I am feeling the same. Breathing new light into fpv. This looked beautiful.
Okay, but walksnail and hdzero aren't that expensive lol and there is still analog
This is the best ive seen openipc yet, thats really getting me excited ive been holding onto analog waiting for an open source digital option
I’m glad to hear it. It’s an interesting system for sure.

I totally get it. I need more time myself. I do find some time to tinker and fly still, but definitely not as much as back in the day.
This reminds me of the early days and the fun we were having... We definitely need more of this
I agree. I have a ton of fun just tinkering with this stuff.
I feel like this is one of those things that will be super awesome and useful in the not too distant future, but its still a little early. Looking forward to seeing it progress.

"That'll do it!" :) Loved that - and your videos in general - thanks for posting as you continue with this system - I'm watching along eagerly!
Haha Thanks.
Seems like you have done a lot of hands on testing no doubt. That's the best test for any system! Thanks...

but sometimes what gives me nothing is the future
opensource fpv is the future indeed
This is a lot better results than Bardwell was getting...
Also, $80 (for VTX, camera and VRX) is a lot less than the links he posted. On your links, it's $90 fro the VTX & camera alone, and I couldn't find a link to a VRX...
That $90 is the VTX, Camera, and radio RX. You just need a phone or Radxa which is $40.
I hope OpenIPC finds similiar success to ELRS.
It certainly went better than your other recent reviews. It's not fair to compare to ELRS as they had a working system to copy.
Claiming ELRS copied Crossfire is pretty silly if you actually look at how it works. Other than using the same LoRA modem, they're nothing alike.
@@JoshuaBardwell I said nothing about Crossfire. ELRS uses the same chipset and has the same performance specs as Flysky's AFHDS3.
There are also working systems for IP video and wifi broadcast for them to base this on. It wasn't started from scratch.
Cutting edge!
Haha. Absolutely.
@@stingersswarm Really appreciate the lets get it to work over this product sucks because it's not plug and play. How we go forward.

Always gotta send it.
This is sick. Seen some other guys testing with this. Open source >>>

Awesome to see cheaper open source firmware systems.
No government policies needed, haha
And you are still in Perth?
Hope you being looked after by a local FPV group here, shown any other great flying spots.
Just government wants to big brother you up the wazoo here, caution.😊
No I got back a month ago. I did make it out to a multigp race and did a meetup. Everyone was super nice and helpful.
Dat stutter tho
Awww man
Stingray swarm beard is very full. He must make good babies. I will buy your open ipc information and give you thumbs up.
Hahaha!! Thank you.
Nice. In 4 years when the tariffs are undone, this will be ready for primetime. Maybe.
Haha!! I hope so.
@@stingersswarm Mee too. Hate tariffs... LOVE Open Source!
I cant wait till they make some goggles for this open ipc shitz,as it is cheaper and has great quality
I've heard there are goggles in the works but I don't have any details.
Been watching from the beginning , very interesting need something cheaper !
Is already cheaper than analog. If box Google are release with tow antenna and cheap LCD 720p screen for 80bucks will be kill analog and everybody will fly hd
This is right up your alley if you are looking for cheaper.
Let's see the state of your quad 🤣
Competition breeds innovation. When the corpo giants greed themselves out of the target market, community driven geniuses rise to the occasion. Love to see it, can't wait to watch it evolve 💪
I agree. I'm glad to see something new from the community in this space.
The video doesn't do justice how bad 3-5mbps feels.
What do you run on OpenIPC?
@@stingersswarm I tried my friends rig, he bought the prefab unit (can't remember the brand). I was not impressed.
It felt like a videogame rubber band lag, hitching forward. Consistent, every half second.
@@hattrickFPV that's sad to hear , I can understand the sentiment about the Mbps , I've been able to push mine to 10mbps at mcs 3 which wasn't too bad . I'm curious which image of the radxa your friend was running - I recall some earlier images like v1.4 had an issue with memory leak causing micro stutters to increase in frequency. This was rectified a while back though . But yeah all of this is a work in progress, I would say openIPC won't really go mainstream right now, maybe in a year or 2 I could see it happen though
stop the international versions or at least the german which is terrible, the translation is mediocre and your german voice is arteficial and annoying.
Title and description have been translated too and they are bad, really bad.
Your content is great, but my video is appearing with german titles and description I can not turn back into english. I was only able to change the voice to english united states.
Interesting. I’ll have to look at how to do that. I must’ve turned that on a decade ago lol.
That's a new feature of TH-cam. They turned it on automatically just recently.
Yeah I'm not selling my DJI gear yet. The main problem I see with this is that it's all WiFi based - DJI used WiFi way, way before, like on Phantom 1. Their Lightbridge was already an SDR solution, and that was 4 generations ago. Unless there's some cheap IP camera SoC that has a hackable 5G modem instead of WiFi chip, I'm not holding my breath on the future of this.
I get what you mean but really openIPC FPV just utilises the WiFi hardware , it's not transmitting data via WiFi , open IPC uses wfb-ng which is a firmware that puts the WiFi module into monitor mode and that allows openIPC to pump out raw data packets . There are of course limitations with using WiFi modules like this , which is why in the future they will most likely be switching to a different transmission system , which is probably soon since caddx has now become an official partner of openIPC and there are some hints that they will be making their video data transmission layer available to openIPC based upon GitHub requests and commits
Do you even know why you say that? Or it's just a catch phrase :)
Please do tell what made you scared of Wifi radios?
Please do tell what 5g modem gives you for FPV that IEEE 802.11 (aka 5g/2g wifi) does not give you...
I'm not saying DJI is not the best, it is, but not necessary because of the radio
@@notsogood4321 Sounds like a smart move if Caddx makes their transmission protocol open source.
It's not wifi based! Yes it uses a Wi-Fi module but it's not running Wi-Fi! Just using the hardware on the module
Low latency (under 200ms) over public 5G Networks? You're smoking something strong 😂 I want some!
Looks like your ripping around lol
For sure.
🤘🤠
👊😎
Nice!
Thanks!
