Rubyfpv and openipc going to be the next elrs. I start with openipc 1.5 years ago when it was just security cameras and mostlly 2.4ghz. now with configuratir and easy rubyfpv setup. It is really nice
OpenIPC has given me great results on my FPV RC car so far. I also own DJI for my quads which also works great out of the box. But with OpenIPC I have something to tinker around and improve. And that's a big part of this hobby for me
Putting a video about openIPC (which is a super project, i'm using it and loving it BTW) while the other paid youtubers are all chilling about dji new system ... You are the best man 😂
I'm a hobbyist radio tech, and work with radios in other applications. For other purposes, I have looked at these radios and it has led me into delving into drones. They've done everyone wrong in the Drone world, open source definitely will save the day if nothing else does.
OpenIPC is awesome! I used to fly analog, but after switching to OpenIPC a couple of months ago I'm not looking back. Sure, the performance might not be as good as DJI yet, but it's mind blowing than I can make a DIY air unit (camera+VTX) for just £30 with a ssc30kq camera and bl-m8812eu2 wifi module. I know there are ready products from Runcam and Emax that are easier to set up and designed from the ground-up to be mounted on a quad, but I love how I have the FREEDOM to make the system work just as well (actually, a bit better since the imx335 sensor is better than imx415) for the price of a low-end analog camera and VTX. There is also the freedom to choose how much tinkering you want to do: RubyFPV is easier to use, WFB-ng has more hands-on customisation. Also, I didn't have to spend hundreds of £ for goggles, due to the multitude of receiving hardware options... Personally I use my Android phone with some 3D-printed goggles.
I flew acro mode successfully for the first time today. Super happy about it!! Just a whoop. I had no sim time as I don’t have a computer but finally got it
The answer to the title question is for sure: yes! Not sure what "saving" means, but there are Open Source digital FPV systems out there that are as easy to use as DJI,WS, HDZero. Just buy, plug and play. One example is: RubyFPV In terms of performance, it's a can of worms to open this subject, as people are passionate and have different needs, but it's somewhere similar with WS in terms of quality, latency, etc. In terms of functionalities that are offered, one can say that it's above all comercial ones :)
And just to add some basic details, for reference: it works on existing hardware from Emax, Runcam (openIPC ones), OpenIPC cameras and others. In terms of functionalities, today, besides the usual stuff expected of a digital system (retransmissions, adaptive video, multiple models, high fps modes (up to 120FPS), etc) it also has: * Audio; * Relaying (using another drone itself as relay, not just a fixed, somewhat expensive, relay like WS); *MAVLink OSD support built in, not just MSP; *Multiple concurent radio links, not just one; suport for lower bands (433,868,915) and SiK and ELRS modules; *OTA updates of air units; *HDMI cameras too; And more... So it's not really an overstatement that it offers more than the other systems combined. And it's open source and still developing new features. Check it on github or on the Ruby website. So yea, Open Source could make a difference.
Everything I have ever wanted from a fpv solutions either commercial or open-source ruby met all of them and without any hair pulling just flash SD cards connect some stuff and boom it's like those Lego builds with electronics....
Community innovation is the biggest reason the RC hobbies are so freaking awesome. It is also one of the big reasons much of the tech we take for granted even exists at all.
I would 100% switch to full open source! I keep thinking that we should bring you out here to Abaco Bahamas. I could tour you around so you don't have to rent a car, and I’ve got some friends down the street that’ll give me friends and family rates on a nice room for you. We should chat if you’re interested! This would be a tough place (and kinda expensive) to try and do on your own, but I’m confident we can create a workable budget. Bandos and beaches baby!
I've stood my ground and not gave a penny to DJI, HDZero was the only one that interested me because of Carl and his way of working, I'm mid>long range however so HDZero seemed a poor fit. I bought a Radxa after watching Stingerswarms video, waiting for a 2nd gen release from Emax or Runcam and will go from there, it looks good, very useable as it is now but would like some more consistent info about range etc - if it gets close to DJI for recording and Gyroflow footage I think it'll be brilliant for the hobby.
Bro love the vids thank you for your comment a couple weeks back means a lot to me I’ll play with the expo and tightin it up hella love bro thank you🙏🔥 keep up your hard work
most platforms only let u upload 720p videos or they compress them to 720 so if its anything like dji to 1080p and a shit ton cheaper id gladly switch because im a broke ass and id rather support the people over a billion dollar corporation, id like to keep the hobby within the hobby.
"Open Source", My two favourite words in the TECH community 🔥 DJI is hard to compete with, they're in the technology capital of the world, have access to the cheapest electronics, and their R and D building is a 50 stories or so, right across from their other 50 story building. It's hard to compete with money...
Open source baby!! You know i think everything is moving in this direction. You know sharing is caring, and we still need industry to build hardware and even improve on the software. If everything is monopolized there is no reason to advance!!
Openipc is something I am eager to try. The video broadcast only instead of a 2 way link is what I have been wanting in digital video, like digital version of analog.
I'm just getting into the hobby. I chose a tinywhoop with analog because I come from the 3D Printing community where things are mostly open source. I chose to build a Voron instead of buying a BambuLab exactly for that sole reason, open source. I'll probably upgrade to digital at some point, and I would really love to have an open source option.
I currently fly dji for its awesome image quality and ease of use. But I am keeping an eye on openipc, there will come a day when I'll give it a try. I did for the most part switch from crossfire to elrs. So, switching from dji to openipc is not out of the question. 👍😎
Watching Stinger rip was promising. I work with a lot of open source software for work (and have developed some of my own) so I have seen first hand what doors this can open. I have high confidence the community will continually improve this link, and hope (optimistically skeptical) that it’ll be as good or better than mass market FPV systems. LETS GOOOO 🎉
Even as someone that flies DJI, HDZ and analog I’m looking forward to an open source option so I don’t have to carry around different sets of goggles depending on who I’m flying with and what I’m doing. Even if in two years it’s where current digital systems are today but low cost and lightweight then I would switch
I would love to switch to opensource but my sticking point is the battery duration. FPV drones only get about 5 - 7 minutes, the DJI neo does twice that. Not saying that the Neo even comes close to the FPV world, but for just a guy out flying on a Saturday morning for fun it works.
I'm curious to know what's driving that huge difference in endurance... Genuinely interested in real-world experiences from the community. Like according to my high-school science education, the fundamentals can't change (weight, battery capacity, power draw, aerodynamicslol) so is this huge gulf down to tuning or what? DJI etc can probably bring down weight and improve component efficiency somewhat, but most of your energy is always going to be spent on staying airborne. So I would have thought that kind of design integration would only improve things by 10 or 20 %, not 50... Although I've been hovering around the edge of FPV for years, I'm still a noob with regard to all aspects so I hope this isn't an especially stupid line of query. P.S. I'm rocking DIY analogue kit exclusively, and I'm growing ever more allergic to closed ecosystems - Open Source Forever!
@@KristovMars The long life don't fly like the high powered short life, they lack the power to perform and this don't achieve the same high current draw. You're highschool physics is right. If you hover and cruise a 3 min acro quad can do at least double. Fly lion not lipo and run a smaller efficient motor you can't access the acro power and can only cruise but then hit those 15-20 min times.
I found that RubyFPV is very robust. Easy to setup and use or if you wanna go deeper it still offers a ton of modification. The founder and community is very active. It's somehow in the same roof with OpenIPC that is not a competitor but try to pushing open source FPV forward together.
Even compared to early ELRS the open IPC seems pretty alpha status. Kudos to Emax for releaseing hardware to play around. I really hope that, this will liberate the competition.
@@unixoid33 tbh I dont care about 10 or 100km. It should work as easy as analog. It should be as inexpensive as ELRS compared to TBS/Ghost/... It shouldn't brake down behind a few buildings. It should show me scraggle and ninja branches. It should have a letency as low as possible and as consistant as possible. To make it clear: I dont expect this of a product in pre alpha status. I hope this all to be true in 2026-2027.
@@rakr9334 I don't think that openipc will ever come close to dji. And that's not really the goal. It will always be in development. Personally, I don't care about latency. I fly on airplanes. However, it works pretty well now. Proof is a video from Greg. He flies a quad very fast behind trees and houses. Break ups happen sometimes, but not critical.
@@unixoid33 yes tbh I think the best openIPC can reach is being on par or better than Walksnail , beating DJI is more of an aspirational goal imo . I do think it's what's going to make digital FPV cheap though and probably by the start of 2027 it should be quite mature if not comparable to walksnail (for the most part )
Open source is a way to go for DIY community. It just makes easier to experiment, make custom fun things which are hard or impossible with commercial systems. So yeah, this is the future. And the important thing is that you have choice. Want easy user-friendly setup? Go RubyFPV. Want hardcore tuning etc? Go OpenIPC. However OpenIPC is not fully open source (no source for majestic) and that’s sad.
Unfortunately, once I experienced the max penetration and "below" LoS ability of DJI especially in a high multipath environment I just cant't go back. I still haven't seen anything else I'd consider "half as good", but fingers crossed. It doesn't help that DJI also makes really good cameras. I like to fly fast and I don't have super fast reflexes but I don't need em when I can see those ghost branches and thin powerlines and such from a long way out.
I'm a software engineer by trade who has worked on a variety of open source projects and benefitted from countless others, I'll be trying to use an open source video link even if it sucks 😂
I'm on DJI. I'm brand agnostic. I don't record my flights for posting later, so i just want the clearest picture in my goggles. If OpenIPC keeps going it will be hard for me not to justify the switch. Would love for them to find a way to use the DJI goggles but totally understand why that might not be possible with DJI outlook to open source.
If your wondering about the emax wyvern system I contacted their support before launch and the latency info I got was a fair bit better than DJI so do with that information what you want for now I'm sticking to analog
I would def switch, I think. If I could do it for about the cost of analog, I would be really pleased. Although it’s important to me to be able to have observer mode and I’m not sure if the digital open source stuff can do that- it would be cool though.
I'm still Analog on everything i fly. I think OpenIPC will take the lead at some point. And that point don't look far off. But currently, i'm thinking about going Walksnail Moonlight. I think the Goggles X would still be useful with OpenIPC.
opensource must be present to balance dji products that have begun to dominate digital fpv and will soon monopolize the fpv market. and well-known brands such as caddx, runcam, emax, radiomaster, jumperrc, foxeer, rushfpv, betafpv, and others must support the sustainability of the fpv world if they do not want to be displaced like flysky and frsky by elrs
I love open source. My first interaction with open source was installing walnut creek Linux on my Packard Bell 486sx2 using floppy disk sets. I see openipc as a competitor to HDZero which is cool for what it is, but unless they can get it to work using 4g or 5g modems, they'll never compete with DJI (beause that's what they use, cell phone modem chips using technology they basically stole... but to the Chinese they don't have the same idea of stealing being a bad thing like we do.) So until we get an open source 4g modem system, which I could see TBS doing it but they would not open source it or if they did, it would be like HDZero is "open source" lol. Always appreciate your interviews and diving into stuff. Pretty much if you're interested in it enough to make a video, I'm interested enough to watch... keep sucking
Havent gotten my hands on the 04 single board but if its as solid as their other systems, then it almost becomes whats the point. By the time you purchase the ipc parts......feel me. I can see it as a learnig tool for sure and thats why id get involved.
I wonder how much of the community is still running analog. It's just too easy to use and interoperable with everyththing. I think for me to switch to digital, I wouldn't just need an open source protocol with similar range/latency to analog, but also the same kind of market share so I'm confident that I'll be able to buy reasonably priced parts for it without needing to order them in specially. That's whats keeping me from switching to HD zero, knowing that if anything breaks I've got a month or so of waiting for replacement parts to ship.
I hope so, but it relies on the user base. Some people are okay with using proprietary stuff, some people wanna tinker... FPV for ME is all about the tinkering though
Open source offers a practical example of how collaboration and shared resources, principles often associated with socialism, can thrive within existing systems. It demonstrates the power of collective effort, where individuals contribute for the greater good, creating something valuable and accessible to all. While socialism seeks systemic change to prioritize collective ownership and equality, open source shows how these ideals can be applied in practice, blending cooperation with the flexibility of current economic frameworks.
I still use Analog, not a digital hater just not enough money to convert right now. I've used Elrs since it started by flashing frsky modules and receivers. I would go open source HD video, if it gets a little better and cheaper
Brother i need some help, i have the goggles n3 and fpv 3. Problem is i really want to fly tiny whoops now, but i dont really like the fov or price of the o4 whoops, id totally be cool with analog but the only googles i see worth getting are 300$+ dollars and i feel i might as well go hd zero at that point. But then the price of the quards and fixing them goes up. Plus with staying dji I dont need goggles or transmitter. The fov is just not my cup of tea, flight time is worse, weight is worse. What would you do?
i will just say i had the option to fly any system and i chose hdzero and do not regret it one bit, it's the most flexible for my needs and the owner is a great guy.
I love open source. I usually pick it over other options. But elrs still feels DIY and not complete. I will switch when elrs has matured. When all the hardware works together, firmware and updating OTA and binding are easy. Until then, xfire is still my preferred control link.
Open source frames, open source goggles, open source GPS, open source radio controllers, open source battery chemistry, open source FC hardware designs, open source esc hardware designs? But DJI is closed source = big and bad
Check out my patreon for cool stuff! patreon.com/botgrinder
My whole fleet is still analog. I have been waiting a long time for open source digital video! This is exciting news. Thanks!!!
Analog for the win
Really hoping that OpenIPC can be the ELRS of video transmitting.

And just to add some basic details, for reference: it works on existing hardware from Emax, Runcam (openIPC ones), OpenIPC cameras and others.
In terms of functionalities, today, besides the usual stuff expected of a digital system (retransmissions, adaptive video, multiple models, high fps modes (up to 120FPS), etc) it also has:
* Audio;
* Relaying (using another drone itself as relay, not just a fixed, somewhat expensive, relay like WS);
*MAVLink OSD support built in, not just MSP;
*Multiple concurent radio links, not just one; suport for lower bands (433,868,915) and SiK and ELRS modules;
*OTA updates of air units;
*HDMI cameras too;
And more... So it's not really an overstatement that it offers more than the other systems combined.
And it's open source and still developing new features. Check it on github or on the Ruby website.

opensource must be present to balance dji products that have begun to dominate digital fpv and will soon monopolize the fpv market. and well-known brands such as caddx, runcam, emax, radiomaster, jumperrc, foxeer, rushfpv, betafpv, and others must support the sustainability of the fpv world if they do not want to be displaced like flysky and frsky by elrs
I love open source. My first interaction with open source was installing walnut creek Linux on my Packard Bell 486sx2 using floppy disk sets. I see openipc as a competitor to HDZero which is cool for what it is, but unless they can get it to work using 4g or 5g modems, they'll never compete with DJI (beause that's what they use, cell phone modem chips using technology they basically stole... but to the Chinese they don't have the same idea of stealing being a bad thing like we do.) So until we get an open source 4g modem system, which I could see TBS doing it but they would not open source it or if they did, it would be like HDZero is "open source" lol. Always appreciate your interviews and diving into stuff. Pretty much if you're interested in it enough to make a video, I'm interested enough to watch... keep sucking
I'd switch, waiting for goggle modules and VTX with normal form factors and similar power output to walksnail.
I have 1s openipc and 5 in openipc, its great
Also I raced open ipc in racegow
Ease of use is up there amoungst things people are looking for
im looking to leave the vista behind tbh
Havent gotten my hands on the 04 single board but if its as solid as their other systems, then it almost becomes whats the point. By the time you purchase the ipc parts......feel me. I can see it as a learnig tool for sure and thats why id get involved.
i dont think the point is video quality, its more to get away form the monopoly that is dji.
Wonder if tbs will make a version of this
I am on dji I would 100% switch if it's usable. I still love analog btw
I wonder how much of the community is still running analog. It's just too easy to use and interoperable with everyththing. I think for me to switch to digital, I wouldn't just need an open source protocol with similar range/latency to analog, but also the same kind of market share so I'm confident that I'll be able to buy reasonably priced parts for it without needing to order them in specially. That's whats keeping me from switching to HD zero, knowing that if anything breaks I've got a month or so of waiting for replacement parts to ship.
as an early adopter of ELRS and near daily user of Betaflight, I'm very happy :)
Adorei a versão em português. 🤘🏻🇧🇷
I hope so, but it relies on the user base. Some people are okay with using proprietary stuff, some people wanna tinker... FPV for ME is all about the tinkering though
Open source offers a practical example of how collaboration and shared resources, principles often associated with socialism, can thrive within existing systems. It demonstrates the power of collective effort, where individuals contribute for the greater good, creating something valuable and accessible to all. While socialism seeks systemic change to prioritize collective ownership and equality, open source shows how these ideals can be applied in practice, blending cooperation with the flexibility of current economic frameworks.

@@electronicGRLmost likely chatgpt
@@electronicGRL Yes. F**k crapitalism, it's time to move on. Thank you for your service, but people are ready for something better.
Elrs analog for the win
Good video, good discussion.. at least to me.
I still use Analog, not a digital hater just not enough money to convert right now. I've used Elrs since it started by flashing frsky modules and receivers. I would go open source HD video, if it gets a little better and cheaper
Thanks for the getting the stats for us commie nerds! Solidarity brother.
Sounds like my fatshark hdo2 goggles just went up in value 😅
I hope RTR Cars comes with ELRS in the future
no more shelf full of radios haha, wouldn't that be nice.
@@BOTGRINDER Would be the dream outcome for real! 😍😍
If I could get openipc into a clover cage, and have it hold up to my less than delicate flying skills, I’d be happy. I just wanna fly not sell houses
Brother i need some help, i have the goggles n3 and fpv 3. Problem is i really want to fly tiny whoops now, but i dont really like the fov or price of the o4 whoops, id totally be cool with analog but the only googles i see worth getting are 300$+ dollars and i feel i might as well go hd zero at that point. But then the price of the quards and fixing them goes up. Plus with staying dji I dont need goggles or transmitter. The fov is just not my cup of tea, flight time is worse, weight is worse. What would you do?
i will just say i had the option to fly any system and i chose hdzero and do not regret it one bit, it's the most flexible for my needs and the owner is a great guy.
@BOTGRINDER Yeah I'm with you, that's what my heart is telling me to do 😅 buy once cry once. Thanks Bot!
Open source openipc goggles would be a game changer
watched from Bryan Texas
I love open source. I usually pick it over other options. But elrs still feels DIY and not complete. I will switch when elrs has matured. When all the hardware works together, firmware and updating OTA and binding are easy. Until then, xfire is still my preferred control link.
Much rather watch this for insight buddy you don’t bullshit on about shit you cut to the chase. Keep em coming sir.
Cheaper sounds good 👍
I have 2 frsky whoops and the rest of my drones will have elrs
Im in for open ic.
hey, where has all the cool music gone?
Every quad i have runs elrs
My bad, you were taking about open ipc…
Open source frames, open source goggles, open source GPS, open source radio controllers, open source battery chemistry, open source FC hardware designs, open source esc hardware designs? But DJI is closed source = big and bad
What does FPV need saving from?
Yes
You forgot to mention OpenHD, which os similar to OpenIPC and Ruby.
whoops!
dji = the empire
i like that hat
miss playing magic with yall we should play some spelltable again soon!
any time homie!
