Perhaps things have improved since then. Captain Drone's video shows .32 seconds latency. I suppose another video showing the latency through the Skyview goggles would be in order to see if there is additional latency through the HDMI connection.
So that's 320 ms right? In audio that's an echo and would be impossible to work with. Sitting at launch with goggles on, you'd hear it take off then see it go on the goggles. FPV flying is already tricky as you do have to ignore many senses warning you of danger like directional hearing. I've logged 1000s of hours on goggles and have cameras and transmitters on drones and have all versions of Fat Shark goggles and while I'm not at the level of my racing friends, I feel pretty confident in my goggle skills. I can assure you that without a spotter, flying solo FPV on the H is a recipe for a crash. Plus proprietary goggles are useless to a lot of us.
I'm thinking after warranty, I'll tap the video feed and a power feed from H and install a sweet little 600 mw transmitter and little camera on the nose of the H for a pilot to FPV while second runs camera. The price of the lowest H right now is great and I'd get parts, second camera to modify lens, and extra ST to create reliable team mode (anyone want an untouched wizard?) and a back up bird for training or multi camera shoots.
I will say that adding an actual radio video link would give me more range as VLOS becomes a non factor. I can't imagine what would happen with collision avoidance and FPV flying. I also think since you are often not in charge of the sticks with the H that covering your eyes to not see any screen is bad. And yes I know you can get OSD with the HDMI out but again, the latency? I'll pick a day and get my intern and plug up a pair of fat shark via the HDMI and try it somewhere safe where I know the ground terrain by heart and report back. If nothing else, giving my assistant goggles to see the shot closer may be something?
From experience, my first film gig with the whole Chroma set up, I went out with two monitors and 3 goggles as immersion RC transmission does not care how many receivers there are. As soon as I got over the talent the director starts yelling "shadow" because he can see everything with goggles on and I'm too busy flying and fighting the wind I should never have launched in. It ended badly. I learned a lot. I got the shot a year later in a better location with the H on first attempt.
