Which Cheap/Simple OSD?

[jackheli]

Hi guys,

I use the Eagle Tree on my big bird but was looking for something cheaper and simpler for a quad.

Which one would you recommend?

The options I managed to find so far on the net are the Hornet, EzOSD and Cyclops NOVA.

Please let me know what you think of them or if there are any others out there with GPS and functions such as

Battery monitor
Compass
Altitude
Speed
GPS Location
Locate home

AHI and RTH an asset...

Thanks a lot

Well, got the Feiyu Hornet

Remzibi does almost all the things you listed.
Except compass (but it does GPS and comes with one)
...and what is AHI?

Well, the Hornet does some graphical ladders which look nicer, and for just a couple of dollars more. And can even expand to use an AHI - Artificial Horizon Indicator and RTH - Return To Home

With Remzibi...it looks like this. I've got most of my parts together.
Just need 2 cameras and an ESC for the heli and then I can start
the build. Gonna build it on a breadboard and make it all work before
I mount the gear on the heli.

Information currently available on the OSD (additional hardware may be required):
- Latitude (format DDMM.MMMM or DD.DDDDDD can be choosen)
- Longitude (format DDMM.MMMM or DD.DDDDDD can be choosen)
- Speed (k/m or miles/h can be choosen)
- Altitude (meters or feet)
- Direction home arrow (animated arrow or user definable)
- Distance home (meters or feet)
- Satelite quantity (GPS signal quality)
- Heading (0º to 359º)
- Video battery voltage (individually scaled and calibrated)
- Main (Engine) battery voltage (individually scaled and calibrated)
- Virtual ADC which keeps a running total for use with battery MAH consumption
- Flight timer
- Variometer (meters/s or feet/s)
- UTC Time - UTC Date - Alarms for distance, ADC, atitude, battery voltages (individually scaled and calibrated)
- 32 static displayed independent graphical-character symbols, configurable
- Summary screen - after detection 0 speed for configurable X seconds, shows max values for altitude, distance, speed (function can be disabled)
- 6 ADC channels to use with any additional sensors, each can be individually calibrated and have an alarm set, cooperates with any additional sensors (optionaly scaled by opamp or resistor dividers) with analog output (RSSI, air pressure, current sensor, temperature or anything else with an analog output) - display format as 123 or 123.4 can be chosen
- Frequency meter (RCl input resistor need 220-515ohm or T0 in new board) - can be scaled for any units by gain as Hz or RPM, cooperate with magnetic(halotron) or optical sensor - or can be used as frames counter when connected to RX output directly

All displayed information can be placed anywhere on the screen, can be visible or invisible. Each object can have a definiable leading character(picture) and ending character(picture).
All configuration is done by the PC configuration program written by HappyKillmore.

Happen to have any links to screenshots? I'd like to see the Hornet in action.
Never too late to switch if it's better than a Remzibi for my purposes.
I can't picture "graphical ladders".

This is where I got it from. On the bottom of the page you can see the four display modes.

This gives you an idea of how one of the display modes looks like:

I'd be really interested to know if there is a slot in the side of the unit
to take an SD card. Web page seems to indicate there is.
Looks like a fun thing!
