Review: The truth about ImmersionRC PowerPlay!!! (11.14.2019)

ImmersionRC PowerPlay Review - The internal DVR on FatShark Dominator Goggles is ‘ok’, but it doesn’t come close to the quality that PAL/NTSC can offer. Instead of the MJPEG compression used in the Dominator, the PowerPlay uses x264 (AVC) compression, with a much higher bit-rate. The 30fps frame rate of the Dominator is also doubled to 60fps, which is essential for capturing fluid race footage.
The ImmersionRC PowerPlay - FPV DVR has the following features:
Can power FatShark Goggles (with power switch)
h264 Recording, at up to 60fps
Built-in 6cm LCD display, showing recording + playback
USB-C Charging
2x 18500 Cells (Included)
Accessories for Head, or Pocket Mounting
The Power Part…
ImmersionRC PowerPlay - FPV DVR Power section is a pair of two 18500, Li-ion cells, that can power a Dominator HDO + rapidFIRE + DVR for up to 3 hours *.
To recharge, either use the built-in USB-C port for up to 1.5A charging, or simply pop out the cells, and replace with a freshly charged set.
The ImmersionRC PowerPlay - FPV DVR ships with 1400mAh cells, but larger capacity 2040mAh cells are available from most vape shops, and are the same ones used in the FrSky X-Lite radios, so any decent FPV retailer will stock them. * 3 hours with 2040mAh cells, not shipped with the product
Head Strap
The ImmersionRC PowerPlay - FPV DVR ships with a head-mounting accessory pack. A quick-release clip mounts on the rear of the standard goggle headstrap, and the new included top-strap ensures a comfortable fit.
A short ‘Y’ cable connects power, A/V, and the fan connector.
The rear-mounted DVR has the advantage of letting people standing behind you see what you, the pilot, is seeing.
A longer version of the cable is also supplied, for those who would rather keep their battery/DVR in a pocket, and keep weight off of the head.
Show off your Micro/Whoop footage
Quads which are extremely lightweight do not want the extra weight burden of an HD camera system. High quality SD recordings of these amazing indoor flights are therefore of interest. PowerPlay delivers this quality.
