In the thrilling world of FPV (First-Person View) drones, the recent release of the DJI O4 air units and the N3 goggles has stirred excitement among enthusiasts. With prices that were once sky-high now becoming more accessible, it seems the digital FPV landscape is entering a golden age. But wait—Caddx is gearing up for a showdown, and they’re not going down without a fight!

Stew from UAV Futures shares some electrifying news about how Caddx is stepping up to the plate, aiming to deliver digital FPV experiences at prices that rival analogue systems. This is a game-changer for those looking to dive into digital FPV without emptying their wallets.

Caddx VTX Overview

As we delve into the details, Caddx is prepping two new VTX (Video Transmitter) models that are stirring up a buzz. The first is a 1S VTX that’s already being tested in the field. The second, even smaller and lighter, is set to launch soon. This new VTX is reported to weigh around 5-6 grams, potentially allowing it to be mounted on 1S quads—something currently unachievable with other systems, except for HD Zero.

What’s particularly exciting is Caddx’s ambition to price their digital systems comparably to traditional analogue systems. Imagine being able to enjoy the benefits of digital technology without the hefty price tag traditionally associated with it. This competitive spirit between DJI and Caddx is a win for consumers, promising more innovations and lower prices.

Comparison of VTX sizes

But there’s more on the horizon! A new racing-focused VTX is also in the works, designed for fixed latency, which is a critical feature for racing pilots who dislike the unpredictable latency often associated with current systems. While Caddx has faced criticism in the past for their communication and updates, their commitment to pushing the envelope in the FPV realm is commendable.

However, it’s important to temper our enthusiasm. While the potential for affordable digital FPV is enticing, Caddx products have sometimes launched with bugs or issues. But with the fierce competition unfolding, both Caddx and DJI are likely to ramp up their innovation and support to win over consumers.

To sum it up, we are at an exhilarating crossroads in the FPV industry, where the prospect of affordable digital systems is becoming a reality. As these two giants battle it out, it’s clear that consumers are the ultimate victors. Whether you’re a seasoned pilot or just starting, now is the time to explore what digital FPV has to offer.
