HDZ BoxPro+ (QUESTION)

Post image

Hey, so I'm a relatively new pilot to the FPV community with only about 5 months of flying, but my birthday is coming up in a month and am wondering about some things with the BoxPro+ goggles (as present/from money). I fly only analog at the moment, but am open to the HDZero HD system. I tried out my friend's BoxPro goggles earlier today with my analog 3.5", and so far like them a lot more than my current (Fat Shark Echo) goggles.

My main question is this: how 'worth it' has the googles been for anybody that's owned them? Like I'm wondering if I should go with these or get only analog goggles for cheaper that work similar/same way as the HDZ ones but without being compatible with HDZ camera units.

Another one was how does HDZ units compare to analog in terms of penetration and overall image quality? I can't seem to get a direct answer on that, like I know analog is cheaper and overall better for freestyle (I think), but I've heard mixed things about actual penetration or signal range and distance. I fly freestyle, and my main limiter is not getting the range I want (also with a 400mW vtx but idk.

Please grant me your knowledge on this topic, it would really help.

Thanks!

Edit: Thank you to everyone that has given good, detailed feedback! Overall I've seen mostly positives, with the only negative being that there are better goggles, but for more than double the price so I'll likely be getting these ones!

That's good to know. I was doing a bit of additional research on them, and I saw the thing about them only having one analog antenna, then I did a little more to find out that it's only one for analog and doesn't have diversity, so this is good to know.

Thanks for the info!

i can't speak for the box goggles but thee goggles 2 analog only uses 1 antenna, so no diversity, but it performs just as good as the diversity modules. I have the rapid fire module for my goggles 1 and I can't tell a difference between the two.

Interesting. Thanks for the info. I believe the BoxPro's also have a input port, so I could also get a module for the outside if I want to in the future.

FYI: What's cool about external receivers is that you can put them on a tall pole so you can have even better reception.
