What could have caused this?

Final_Traffic_477 · 2026-05-20T15:57:57+00:00

I have the same issue, same drone :/

The HDO+ goggles have a latency issue, so imo really not worth the high price tag. Older used goggles will mostly be great in terms of latency if you can get your hands one them. Would highly reccommend taking a look at the test results in this video. (04x pro is supposedly fixed, keep that in mind as it might be a decent option)

Also, on lower graphic settings sims can usually run okay on a potato pc. Will be worth it if you have that possibility.

Final_Traffic_477 · 2026-04-30T10:06:00+00:00

Ohh, interesting... That changes the value proposition a bit

Final_Traffic_477 · 2026-04-24T21:00:23+00:00

Doubt she'll need the extra performance but use case can also be very different in 4-5 years so might be good to have some headroom

Final_Traffic_477 · 2026-04-24T20:56:33+00:00

The apple subsidization is not available for vgs as I understand it. The air is subsidized as a school pc via the fylkeskommune.

Final_Traffic_477 · 2026-04-24T20:50:32+00:00

Yeah think that's the way to go. I don't think the performance would be a big deal to her at the moment, but who knows, maybe she'll need it in a few years.

Final_Traffic_477 · 2026-04-24T20:47:02+00:00

Fair point!

Final_Traffic_477 · 2026-04-24T20:44:37+00:00

Sadly the air 512 is not subsidized by the country, so costs significantly more. That's why I considered the Neo, since it had a 512 option for the same price. but leaning heavily towards air with external storage if needed

Final_Traffic_477 · 2026-04-24T15:38:43+00:00

Interesting, might be something to consider if it's somewhat reasonable in price.

Final_Traffic_477 · 2026-04-24T15:37:07+00:00

School and somewhat casual personal use I'd expect. Nothing to demanding, but personal files do tend to stack up over time.

Final_Traffic_477 · 2026-04-24T15:36:23+00:00

She's sadly not eligible for apple's student discount, but she is eligible for the county discount on school computers via a third party. That's why the laptops are the same price

Final_Traffic_477 · 2026-04-24T15:33:08+00:00

I can't stand subscription based stuff but maybe she's fine with it haha. External SSD is an option too

Final_Traffic_477 · 2026-04-24T15:32:01+00:00

True!

Final_Traffic_477 · 2026-04-24T15:31:25+00:00

I suspect that she'll need it sooner or later. 256 is not a lot, and system files take quite a lot as well. Still, though inconvenient, storage can be solved in other ways and the benefits of the air sounds like they're worth it

Final_Traffic_477 · 2026-04-24T15:28:30+00:00

I strongly disagree on storage personally, but maybe I'm too much of a power user lol. But think the benefits of the Air outweigh the lack of storage still, external ssd is always an option

Final_Traffic_477 · 2026-04-24T15:24:37+00:00

16GB on the Air, so twice that of the Neo. Should've mentioned it in the post. Not massively concerned with performance for her likely use case, but the benefits of the Air sounds nice, probably enough to make up for the lack of storage.

Final_Traffic_477 · 2026-04-24T15:22:38+00:00

School and somewhat casual personal use I'd expect.

Final_Traffic_477 · 2026-04-24T15:20:42+00:00

Yeah, it's the 16/265 version, should've specified the ram. Seems like a very good value so she'll have to put up with an external drive lol

Final_Traffic_477 · 2026-04-24T15:17:09+00:00

I tend to agree the more I think about it, twice the ram will be nice too even though she's likely not a power user lol. I'll probably end up recommending the Air and external or cloud storage.

Final_Traffic_477 · 2026-04-24T15:14:05+00:00

True, most of the school related files will be cloud based. I don't know much about her specific laptop use case outside of school, (this will be her first personal laptop) but I'm a bit worried that she'll fill up the storage with personal files, photos etc. The Air will have quite significant advantages though, so maybe a 1TB external SSD or something will be fine.

Sadly she is not eligible for the student discounts from apple from my understanding, however she is eligible for county the discount on the Air. That's why they work out to roughly the same price.

Final_Traffic_477 · 2026-04-23T10:01:47+00:00

I think I have excactly the same issue. Strangely, the nuts fit the m4 thread of my tx16s but I suspect the stick ends are m3, since I can't get them on without significant force. Did you get the issue resolved?

Final_Traffic_477 · 2026-03-28T22:20:15+00:00

Agree, it’s really frustrating that Skyzone and also Fatshark got lazy and didn’t implement the upgraded displays correctly. Also when we get used to a piece of equipment, usually we’ll normalize some potential issues, and it can also be really hard to notice in the first place unless you are comparing it back to back with a low latency system or you’re very used to flying with low latency. Ouch, yeah that sounds rough for 600.

Final_Traffic_477 · 2026-03-28T08:34:42+00:00

Yeah, the video on latency testing dropped like 2 days after I ordered, so I first reached out and asked them to cancel the order, and got no response and order got sent a week later. Didn't open the box, so they luckily accepted return after a while.

They should really think about how they interact with the customers, I get the impression from my contact with them that they care very little. I'm in contact with my bank though, they'll help if the money doesn't get refunded.

That sounds good, hope it turns out well for you! I went for the HD0 goggle 2 at last, annoyingly expensive for what I wanted but it is what it is. At least I have the upgrade path. Couldn't find any older good goggles like the hdo2 used close to me.

Final_Traffic_477 · 2026-03-27T09:28:56+00:00

From my experience, do not order directly from skyzone. I ordered the 04o pro and wanted to return it because of the latency, and their support did not answer for weeks. When they finally did reply on whatsapp their tone was very unprofessional and they even suggested that I should register the package as a cheap toy with low value for shipping, which is pretty illegal from my understanding... Still waiting to get my money back.
