I made this little test because when I flown with Scout I felt very difficult to hold my whoop horizontally. I've always overcontrolled with pitch and yaw sticks. When I did fast turns at gaps I usually hit the corners. After Scout I switched back to EV800D and the feeling and problems ceased. So I decided to test it together with a simple stopwatch test to compare. I started a stopwatch on my 144Hz monitor, I put my Mobula6 in front of the monitor and I switched both goggles to the whoop's channel.

On the video you can see the Eachine EV800D on the top and the FatShark Scout at the bottom.

Scout has around 50-60ms delay while the EV800D has 10-20ms.
Yes I know this numbers are not perfectly accurate because the VTX and camara maybe add some latency too. BUT both tested in the same conditions at the same time. So the difference value (~40ms) is true and accurate. If the EV800D is the base (zero) the Scout has 40ms and over we have to add the EV800D's real latency (which is not known).

I made a post about this issue in "tinywhoop micro pilots in the world" group on facebook and according some Scout owners who made this test has the same huge latency. So I rule out the possibility that mine is faulty one.
Although it is interesting that other owners don't feel this delay despite being detectable.



I contacted with Fatshark's support and they answer was "We have had no issues reported about latency with the Scout and I have flown using the Scout myself with no issues"


I had high hopes for it because I prefer box goggles. It's compact and has amazing 60fps dvr. I'm very disappointed. :(



What do you think? Is there anyone else with this issue?
