r/HDZero

Hello everyone,

I’m fairly new to FPV. I started with an Aquila20 HD kit to learn the basics, and recently picked up a Meteor75 Pro P1 (BETAFPV VR04 HD compatible). I’m still in the learning phase and practicing indoor flying.

While I improve, I’m also trying to understand a sensible upgrade path for the future.

Right now I’m considering two possible directions:

1. DJI ecosystem route

Move to DJI goggles (Goggles 3) and eventually fly DJI-compatible drones.

2. HDZero / mixed system route

Go with HDZero goggles (possibly with analog support) and build a more flexible setup that can also work with my current drones using external receivers/VTX solutions.

I’m based in Dubai, so availability and pricing for DJI gear locally is also a factor for me.

My main question is:

Is it still worth committing to the DJI ecosystem for FPV in 2026, or is a more open/multi-system setup like HDZero the better long-term choice for flexibility?

Also, if anyone knows of FPV communities or groups in Dubai/UAE, I’d really appreciate the info.

I have been wondering if these are really the best because my understanding is that they don't even diversity for analog.

I tried streaming video from my goggles using wifi but the stream lagged behind some 2-3 seconds. It also appeared to be dropping frames.

I tried using VLC player that was recommended, but it worked really badly.

Then I found out from a reddit post about "RTSP Player" that worked marginally better but still the video lagged behind some 2 seconds.

Is this normal or should the video stream lag behind?

I recently accidentally cut my xt60 to DC connecter for my hdzero box pros, and I've looked on the hdzero website and it is 17$. Although on amazon i've found a version that looks pretty similar (with a 5.5 x 2.5mm dc connecter) which is only 10$.

The amazon one is better deal, but I'm not exactly sure if I'm getting the right DC connecter size.

Anyone know the exact size?
