Thank you for your testing. As a developer and tester of OpenIPC please allow me to help you tackle your issue with the latency. Firstly, you should stop using Android phones for VRX. Instead, use Radxa Zero 3w like everyone else does and you will have normal low latency. Secondly, use 2 or maybe 3 compatible WiFi receivers with 4 or 6 antennas. Use 2-3 patch directional antennas and 2-3 dipole for surrounding reception. More than 2 antennas will improve the reception and the latency. DJI, WS and HDZERO are using the same method. Cheers mate!😊🍻
Yes, I'm going to abandon the phone soon. I have a Radxa now and will build a proper ground station with good antennas. Just testing what I have for now. People should definitely NOT fly a quadcopter with the phone. A ground vehicle or plane will be OK just not something as fast as a quadcopter.
@@marblekitfpv Since you will have the hardware, you could give RubyFPV a try and compare. You might have a pleasant surprise. Works on exactly the same hardware, just change firmware.
@@frankcastillo8869OpenIPC is the cheapest fpv system in the world. You can use a device you already have for VRX. No need to buy additional hardware unless you want the maximum performance of our system.
Yeah clearly my fault for not using a Radxa, hopefully this failure will show that no one should ever fly a quadcopter on this system with their Android app... Just not for something this fast.
Awesome flying and testing, Albert! 😃 But yeah, I bet it's transmission issues. Lost packs and stuff like that. I think the devs should take a look at it next. Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
This system isn't cheap. You need more gear and expensive antennas to take advantage of this cheap hardware. Out of the box, DJI will still be cheaper.
It's all placebo effect or confirmation bias: The default OpenIPC system is a one way broadcast link, just like analog. Latency does not increase with distance. Only noise and breakups (if any).
I suspect it's something inside the phone causing the slow down. I thought using my best Android phone would solve the issue but apparently NOT. While the packets might have been received right away as you have suggested, the image was not presented right away to me in this flight when I went further away. I thought it was very strange. Anyways, I recommend anyone flying a fast quadcopter to avoid using an Android phone to fly through. It's VERY SKETCHY!!!
@@marblekitfpv Yes. If you experience variable latency, it's from the phone. No matter how fast, Android still runs a ton of processes and the scheduler will not prioritize the user's silly FPV app, but it's spyware :P Distance is just random data point.
Thanks for testing and the feedback. Increase in latency and the breakup is scary. But great to see the beta version is working.
Looking forward to your testing with the Radxa VRX. We know your results will be the most honest ones.
Look forward to more videos and testing.. Whispers say there's more brands getting involved soon 👍🏻
Thanks for sharing your observations. This system seems to be pretty worthless without goggles to fly with.
There's no way to measure that when you are far away. You just have to make a good guess.
Wow.... Stack on stack 😊

@mariofpv I thought this system was supposed to be cheap. Getting all this gear and expensive antennas makes DJI a better option.

@@mariofpv That's not true. You said to stop using a phone and getting all that extra stuff above. You are contradicting yourself.
Osd looks great. If you're able to use the Radxa Zero 3w like MarioFPV suggests, would be a very interesting and cool video. 👍😎

Without proper goggles, this is only half a system. If goggles don't ever show up, no one should buy these parts.

Exactly. And as everyone knows the WiFi packets are transmitted with the speed of light (in space) as the laws of physics about frequencies suggest.

Funny how you guys dismiss his test results but not Bardwell's. I guess you can't afford to piss off his audience.
This comment is total BS. You did not fly it, but claim its placebo effect. You are a TROLL.
