There's also Hobbyist: RubyHD, OpenHD (make your own system using raspberrypi zero/jetson nano etc..) and get a decent connection by using off the shelf wifi hardware in monitor mode. Can cost up to $100 - $150. (2 raspberrypis, 1 camera, wifi dongles) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFGsZ_d3KBw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFGsZ_d3KBw Commercial: HDZero (proprietary low latency HD system that is fairly popular with FPV quadcopter racers these days). Can cost up to $300. ($50 for camera, $50 for vtx, $150-250 for receiver with hdmi out).: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHa08sdKoGs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHa08sdKoGs . They recently released a 1Watt vtx that costs about $100, and can give you a fairly good range.

If analog is potato, then those systems look more like yams. Their effective resolution, in the optical sense rather than the image size sense, seems to be really low, compared to DJI: https://youtu.be/llRaTs3bVuE?t=12 https://youtu.be/llRaTs3bVuE?t=12 Definitely cheaper though! disclaimer: I just bought a DJI headset. I may be biased and trying to justify my purchase to myself. ;)

  Yeah on paper HDZero and DJI both do 720p, but i think that's just the number of pixels. HDZero does seem to lose more quality than DJI due to the way it encodes data. There's also 1080p30 mode on HDZero - but there don't seem to be any cameras that make use of it. For now I am disappointed with my HDZero system: I still can't see ghost branches and electric cables in time. The video you linked doesn't represent HDZero fairly though, because they're 2 different cameras - with different settings. Here's a more accurate representation: https://youtu.be/SmfbMTe80Uc?t=126 https://youtu.be/SmfbMTe80Uc?t=126 . (So far, of all the HDZero cameras I have tested, I liked Digisight V3 the best) RubyHD seems pretty good - except for latency. On a better hardware I think RubyHD would be as good as DJI. Also do check out the recent root exploit for DJI goggles. It will soon bring you "Canvas mode" (OSD like we had on Analog systems). Happy Flying! I am still waiting for Orqa to come out with their HD system.
