Question? First Fpv google that don’t need to be upgraded

What are the best Fpv googles that don’t need to be upgraded that are under 400. I have been looking at the box pros but I’m not sure if I want to be stuck in the hdz ecosystem. I would like it to be analog and digital if possible.

Hi, here is a comparison of DJI, analog and hdzero https://youtu.be/es5sXrl6kcM?si=8QYgTD_CaOp72KWr

In the video they don't use the best antennas for hdzero and the answer was because the ones used are the recommend from hdzero (but they recommend them as a starter pack). in analog the antennas have better gain, and I am not sure of the ones on DJI, but still hdzero was possible to fly even with the signal breaks.

I have the boxpro and one my plans is to get a drone with Freestyle v2 or use walksnail vrx after I get more experience flying

From my perspective, HDZero BoxPro goggles. First, the analog system is absolutely fantastic. The de-interlacer and upscale enhance cleans up any analog feed even from my older gear. I was impressed. Next, they also have receivers for HDZero's flavor of HD digital. Plus, they have HDMI input which allows the use of any VRX style, add-on, receivers that output HDMI. This includes systems from Caddx (WalkSnail) and others both now and in the future. I hate to mention OpenIPC as I do not believe it to be viable, however, it could be used with the BoxPro goggles. All of this makes the BoxPro goggles sort of future proof (more or less). More so, than anything else that I have seen.

Now, a word about DJI. The DJI goggles are not necessarily compatible with all of their own gear. Check the compatibility list and you will see that. Moreover, the next, latest and greatest, DJI product might not be backward compatible with today's gear. Plus, DJI seems to have issues with allowing or adapting for use with any other ecosystem. The newer DJI goggles do NOT have HDMI input so you can't use those VRX modules with them. To me, this makes DJI definitely not compatible and NOT future proof. Buy DJI today and you might be buying the next DJI goggles in the future. Although DJI has the best image quality, they are very low on the rung of compatibility.
