Additional info, I posted this on Joshua Bardwell's FB page this am. It looks like the V2's have more differences from the V1's than it appears just comparing them roughly side by side:
BTW, there are a couple other changes to the V2's in the specs that probably bear mentioning, or at least I haven't heard anyone say anything about them:
- on the 5.8ghz band, the FCC EIRP rating is now listed as <= 31.5dbm. That translates to around 1400mW maximum (RMS I assume). This might mean the 1200mW "hack" is no longer a hacked output power in the V2's, but is now officially part of the specs. I don't know if the transmitters are actually capable of a full 1.4 watts, but that's what the new spec suggests. That's a lot of power.
- since a 2.4ghz transceiver has been added, aftermarket antennas will now also have to be dual-band. Or at least, I wouldn't dare put single band 5.8ghz antennas on the unit even if the 2.4ghz transmitters aren't keyed until the whatever-it-is product that runs on 2.4ghz is bound to the V2's for use. So folks running aftermarket antennas will have to make sure they support 2.4ghz in addition to 5.8ghz, and/or you'll need new antennas if they don't.
- the 2.4ghz FCC EIRP rating is <= 28.5dbm or around 700mW. That suggests possibly the support for the new DJI FPV drone will be pretty good in terms of range. On the camera aircraft with Ocusync 2.0, the transmitters run only around 26dbm, and you can go 3 miles with good signal strength on both 2.4ghz and 5.8ghz in unobstructed conditions. Maybe this means the idea is really good penetration through objects with the FPV drone especially on 2.4ghz.
Anyway a couple items I noticed in the V2 goggle specs.... |
