The FPV Poll Results Are In. Analog, Have a Seat.

Well, it finally happened. The annual FPV poll from Painless360 is in, and the digital takeover is complete. For the first time, pilots flying exclusively on digital HD have overtaken the analog-only purists. The revolution wasn't televised; it was beamed directly to a very expensive pair of goggles. We're sure the one-third of you still flying both are feeling very seen right now.

The breakdown is as predictable as a rainy Tuesday in Manchester. DJI keeps marching users up its O-series ladder, Walksnail holds strong by letting you use new gear with old goggles—a novel concept—and HDZero remains the top choice for people who measure fun in milliseconds. Then there’s the open-source crowd, quietly gaining ground and keeping the big players honest. You love to see it.

So, is analog dead? Not quite. It’s just been gracefully relegated to tiny whoops and budget builds. The main takeaway is that HD isn't the future anymore; it's just the present. You can officially stop pretending your static is 'cinematic'. We all knew.

For a proper dive into the numbers, charts, and all the glorious details, you can read our full breakdown. Or, if you'd rather have the man himself explain it, the video is right below. Go on, you've earned it.
