First thing I did is that I activated additional Channels when I saw only 4 channels on powering on. Unlocked a FCC functionality and power from 4 to 8channels now and power to 1200mw which will be better for a long range flights. Only thing I need to address to is heat dissipation that instantly goes even without binding a VTX to them. You just power On the Googles X and top part becomes ultra hot which means only 2 things: bad engineering or bad thermal paste. I've opened them and saw a kilo of paste everywhere which is absurd for a guy who works on that position in Caddx factory so I will have to say that they need much better quality control and obviously much better heat dissipation resolution than adding a cooler that is not doing the job well in every scenario especially if you put too much thermal paste underneath and spread it all over the place like lunatic. I would advise Caddx to take this problem seriously and pay more attention to things like this as I would not expect anything like this on an end-product, maybe in research phase and that's it. Obviously Gelid X Ultimate pads resolve -10/15% heat on the right side where the biggest heat is generated but on the left side you can just use thermal paste, not pads and I guess they need to put it much more careful and thinner layer in order for it to work 100% and dissipate much better. I bet even without changing the paste and just removing a half of it from the left side could do a job but while you are there you want to be sure it's done well and you don't need to get scared after 15min flight that Googles will shut down due to heat alarm and overheating generally.
I guess they will improve this soon as I see many people loves the X googles but this heat problem is killing them and I think before you release a new digital system, you definitely should fix the only problem on the current well made product that you are selling not for 3 bucks right?
Also, hoping that my opinion will be recognized as a favor and positive demand or advice or whatever you want to call it but the critics it's not, trust me. I love those Googles much more than DJI or any other and I do not plan to change them ever again and if I could only have them not burning my hair and front, I would be much more happier Caddx customer than ever. I hope Caddx will appreciate my opinion and at least check if they can improve it on the current batch of google models coming out from the factory, I mean that is something we all expect to be honest, just some customers are quiet about it and some of us are honest. At the end, it's our money we pay for those and we expect you to respect our intelligence at least.
Cheers,
