Eachine Sphere Link Goggle Test – Range & Video Breakup Review using PixelPilot and OpenIPC

In this video, I put the Eachine Sphere Link digital FPV system to the test — using a DroneMask and Android phone (Samsung Galaxy S20) as a heath Robison goggle setup running Pixel Pilot. I cover the real-world latency, video quality, range, and how the system handles video breakup during flight.

📦 Test Setup:
Eachine Sphere Link TX/RX
Samsung Galaxy S20 running Pixel Pilot
DroneMask V2
Stock dipole antennas
OpenIPC-based system using wfb-ng

🚀 What’s Covered:
In-goggle experience with a phone
How video holds up past 1km
Freezing, artifacting, and LOS vs NLOS
Thoughts on range improvements with better antennas
The state of OpenIPC and why it’s exciting for open-source FPV

💬 Quick Notes:
No, you can’t just plug the USB-C from the receiver into an HDMI port — I explain why in the video.
Yes, you can get great results with modern phones and the right setup.
OpenIPC is open-source and always evolving — this is just the beginning.
