As always Joshua brings it home with the best quality content. Thank you for always bringing it home with the quality. Always respected you for that. I’ll be honest I was thrown back a few years ago when I saw you wearing the “not a dress” but yes. I was absolutely wrong and prejuded you. For that I am deeply sorry. You have always been on point with absolute quality content. Thank you again for always striving to give your viewers such absolute legendary quality content. Prejudging someone because they don’t fall inline with your preconceptions is a tragedy. Because you close yourself off to important information because of your preconceived notions. Looking forward to seeing what you have to contribute to the FPV community in the future. You are a legend Joshua. Thank you for the amazing work you have contributed to the FPV community so far 👍🏻

[@stevefox3763]

If your a Fixed wing pilot you cant beat Box Goggles, especially if you fly at altitude! I absolutely love the immersive experience my Skyzone SJ-V01 goggles give with the 7" 1280x800 screen and 72 degrees FOV and they can display 720p in full res but will accept a 1080p signal and scale it down, Open HD Digital HD FPV looks amazing on them :)

[@mauritz1774]

This month is the first month wich I have realy fun with FPV dir the First Time. Becurse I Jumped from EV800D to sky04x I baught for my first selvbuild FPV drone expensive Rush Tank Ultimate + and Foxeer Falkor and now the more expensive Price is now Worth it with absolutly nice Picture. And in this Month i am since Yesterday done with 1Year trubleshooting: SA Power was not working, the Amperemeter was Detective thank you dir the 6Min Interwiev Video from You, And the GPS Work fine. Only the Barometer shoult Show me the Hight of Arming not permanently over 100m. THANK YOU FOR YOUR VIDEOS YOU HELPED ME ALOT. Mission Complete I will Support you Ehen i Have mony after the New FPV Gogglees

[@О.Ш-ь1щ]

I'm sorry for a very stupid question, but with some engineer's misunderstanding: PAL format - is a standard with which all analog video transmitters work. The resolution is 720x576 dots. 576 - is number of lines, which are shown with frequency 50Hz, but for such a high frequency in this standard there is a trick - the picture appears 50 times per second but even and uneven lines alternate 50 times per second, which means that the first picture shows only uneven lines, the second shows even lines. On old tube TV it play no role because our eyes doesn't keep up for how each line is drawing on the screen. But on LCD or oled screen the picture is drown all at once. So to collect the information about the whole 1 picture we need collect first part of picture with uneven lines for 1sec/50Hz=20 milliseconds + second part of picture with even lines 1sec/50Hz=20 milliseconds which equals 40 ms delay+some processing time to things in the drone to add osd for example and etc... So for example in sum we will have about 45-50ms delay... But for real test everybody have a delay about 25-30 ms... The only way to reduce the delay twice is to show on screen only picture with even or uneven lines, so the real resolution in drone fpv system is 720x288 dots (or pixels). That's why I don't see at all any reason to buy any goggles with screen resolution higher than 720p... Unless you wouldn't play games or watch cinema in it... The same thing about TVL numbers in camera... Maybe I'm wrong, would anybody correct my conclusions? Is the higher resolution is just a great Industry cheating or fooling for customers? Are there any real improvements in goggle resolution higher than 720p?

[@matthewwraa7559]

just got my HDO2’s in the mail the other day and they have changed my life. i know you read these and i wanted to credit this video for helping me decide what to buy! safe flying from California!

[@sunsetpark_fpv]

JB this was an amazing review. You were so very non-biased and pointed out so many important aspects of each piece. The Orqa menu screens were frickin amazing! Made me think....."Hmm I think I need this...." :P Happy holidays - and also I hope that you find your way back home.... we need you here.... :P

[@vankogiorgio]

Watched many of your vids, just subbed. Thanks for being the most detailed FPV drone channel. Keep it up!

[@para9111]

I have not ever seen a better goggle review.Wow!Thank you.

[@dirtfpv]

I'm surprised you didn't mention Orqa's customer service. They ship you a box, it goes to Croatia via 2-day DHL, they fix it in a day, and send it back via 2-day DHL. One week turnaround... something Fatshark can't touch. In my experience, Orqa has better customer service than Fatshark. Even battery issues. Fatshark wanted me to send them the bad battery on my own dime. Orqa just ships a new battery.

[@Pile_of_carbon]

That is bloody cool! I haven't had to contact their customer yet, but it's good to know they'll have my back when it happens.

[@stewpidazole]

Skyzone O30 here and have served me quite well for 7+ months.

[@Eff917]

I'm just getting into FPV, and quadcopter flying in general, and have learned so much from your videos, thank you, and keep it up! Here's what I've bought so far: I managed to get my hands on an EV800D for $55 (Ali clearance sale) . As for the radio, I was considering the TX12, but the soldered in 1in1 module steered me away, and went with the TX16S. For the quadcopter, I bought a used custom 1s whoop, and a DE65pro is on the way. Ordered a soldering iron per your recommendation (SQ-D60), and I'm practicing on velocidrone. Do I need anything else? :)

[@spacemandaxx]

I wear glasses. When I saw the SkyZone Sky04X has a focus range of -6 to +6, it was a no brainer. Thanks, I learned something today!

[@markkram8955]

Be careful. The +6 focus range in the goggles does not equate to the same +6 you get in your glasses. My distance prescription is +2 and reading is +3.5. I bought the googles thinking I would be covered. No so. I have the focus range up at +6 and it is not enough.

[@alwayshathbeen3340]

Well... for $99 I freakin’ love my EV100’s. Better than LOS in every way. I appreciate all the insight. I have a hard time with goggles because of the prices. I haven’t had any reason to complain about my cheap goggles, they work just fine. I came here because I wanted one of your hoodies, but now you’ve told me my goggles are trash and I need new ones. Well played sir, well played.

[@JoshuaBardwell]

If you're happy with them more power to you.

[@wingnut3998]

can't wait to see your review of the Cobra!!

[@licensetodrive9930]

I know some people come down hard on Fat Shark for not innovating enough etc. but I've been using my HD2's for 4 years now and they're still going strong and I'm not planning on going to another set anytime soon, one main reason is the 50 degrees FOV. The only downtime they had was when I put the door back on the tracker bay and knocked off a tiny component on the power board, a fault in circuitboard's layout design, I had no problems buying a new power board. When the bearings in the fan wore out & the foam wore out I simply replaced the white faceplate with a black HDO one which looks nicer and its foam will last much longer.

[@JoshuaBardwell]

Thanks for being a subscriber licensetodrive. You always leave really thoughtful comments.

[@licensetodrive9930]

​@@JoshuaBardwell Thanks Joshua, I'm not rich so can't throw out endless superchats in livestreams but I'm more than happy to share my FPV knowledge & related 3D print designs freely. Like my recent designs for the TinyTrainer; a perfect fitting TPU arm guard with built-in reusable zip tie to hold the canopy down www.thingiverse.com/thing:4690939 And a Minimortal-T antenna holder which has a design that nobody has seen before and I hope others copy it for other things www.thingiverse.com/thing:4662724 (see 3rd, 4th & 5th pictures)

[@jp-3dairgunworks152]

DJI comes with a built in HD receiver. None of the others do. So if you plan to go HD later it is the cheapest option. Add $250 for shark byte onto the price of all the others if you want Fat Shark's HD. DJI=$529. HDO2+SharkByte=$750

[@markwalhimer8972]

Dear Joshua, Thank you ! I am new to FPV Freestyle and loved finding your video, great information. Is the Eachine EV800D still the best inexpensive goggle ? Cheers

Welcome to da dark side brother

[@MollydogRadar]

I hope you see this question and have an answer. I had a pair of Skyzone goggle 5 years ago. I bought them because they had an HDMI port. They sell lenses for people that wear glasses, like me. But only for near sighted people. With the use of a Drimal tool, I made my own +3.5 lenses. Did Skyzone ever get wise enough to make - and + lenses for their new goggles?

[@SomewhereSC]

I'm new to FPV, but not R/C and just getting started on this adventure. I have been struggling with the whole analog/digital situation with FPV goggles. I don't have a lot invested in the hobby just yet and I have come to the conclusion that I'm going the DJI digital route right from the start. I don't really have aspirations to race, but I do want to do some freestyle and such and being that I don't have anything invested in analog at the moment, I see no reason to go there...for me and my situation. In fact, my first build (supplies on the way) will be a CADDX VISTA 5" build. I know you can buy ready to fly quads, but I like to build things! I don't have the goggle yet, and it looks like there is a V2 of the DJI goggles on the way, so waiting to see what that brings...not to mention you can't find the current goggles anywhere! Anyway, I'm sold on having the great viewing experience of digital and skipping the analog altogether. I know there are cons to everything, but I would rather deal with the cons of digital rather than both analog and digital. Really looking forward to the whole experience and hobby...have to take it slow...

[@SANDY-FPV]

I bought the scout, and im very happy with it, I also want to note, you will need extra things with almost all goggles!!! Like batteries and anttenas!!!! It will ad up and will cost you more!!! This THE THING that I looked over when I went into fpv!!!!!!!! YOU MUST BE AWARE OF THIS! I also looked over the price of lipos for the drones, they can be expensive, you WILL need a charger for them also, AND an AC to DC! Anyway, I thought it would al cost me around 800 max for the scout, controller, tinywhoop(to practise) and a 5inch, after a new look up for the cost, if I continue ( im now practising whit the whoop for over a year) I would somewhere end up in the 1100, more then calculated before hand...

[@MadDragon75]

I'm so glad you mentioned there is no receiver in those Fatshark goggles. I would have to wait a month to justify spending another $100+. $400 out the door is good for a few years.

there are also dji goggles racing edition capable of both, analog and digital at a very good range and quality ... cause i had been using them on quads and planes and even a sailboat. the dji air unit is a different one than those for the fpv system ... but still all available and incredible quality.

Before I got the FXT Viper II (I wear glasses), I used a Eachine ROTG02 FPV receiver plugged into my phone while I put my phone into cheap VR goggles and duck taped the receiver the goggles. Pretty sketch, but it worked!

[@BowserMG]

A good honest review, puts the goggles into clearer perspective, pun intended. Fatshark goggles not the best for Sharkbyte? That's heresy to the Fatshrk fanbois, I can hear them raging now lol.

I was lucky enough to buy the HDO2s from RR at $399 on Black Friday. I used the money I saved to get a TBS Fusion module! A nice upgrade from the FS V5. Work schedule and bad weather resulted in me not having flown with them yet. I hope tomorrow is the day!

[@alexeyv1503]

Hey! Great video as always! But let me disagree with you on this "DJI availibility - excellent" as it's almost impossible to find them ANYWHERE in stock now... Let's check it right now: DJI Official Store - Out of stock, Banggood - Out of stock, GetFPV - Out of stock, RotorRiot - Out of stock, Amazon - Out of stock, and there's no point to continue, have checked lot's of stores to buy them this week without success. What does it means? Are they dumb to keep it out of stock on the eve of New Year Holidays? I think ofc they are not. Seems like second generation is about to be introduced really soon...

I found Skyzone 03O goggles second hand in mint condition for 170 euros with 3 antenna's. Great deal I think. My first FPV Goggles!

[@ChannelGarrett]

Nothing is future proof, but OLED tv’s are considered the best. Not the QLED knock off from Samsung, which I own trying to save $. Gotta think OLED googles will put you in the driver’s seat for years to come. And if I understand correctly, OLED draws less power. Check out stock symbol EMAN for what USA fighter pilots use.

[@illusionistsam]

Thank you soooo much brother you did the best job in explain things i was looking for budget goggles and you have just made it that much easier for me and many other beginners

[@ArenBrouwer]

Availability from some of the products only applies to the US. Like the Skyzone Sky03O I can get within 6 days here in Europe. In the US it takes a bit longer. I do really like your approach Joshua. Not a fan favourite video but honest opinion etc.

[@JoshuaBardwell]

Availability refers to how widely available it is. The O3O is only available from china direct due to its low dealer margin. So if china direct works for you, it's available. But if you want to support a local dealer, then it's not very available.

[@itaysteklov1241]

Sky04 is better than the eachine equivalent if you plan to use it with shark byte because it can actually display 720p and the eachine doesn't have enough pixels for 720p

[@MJ-bj1gn]

Fantastic video, JB! I just wanted to say that (16:26) the Fatshark scout has an AV in and I can use it with a Rapidfire module, so its the same performance as a 650 $ HDO2 with a rapidfire

[@craigjohnstone87]

I just ordered fat shark HDO2 for £320 from banggood. I honestly believe that is currently the best bang for the buck goggle currently at that price. Think the sale ends Dec 31st and as its Hong Kong warehouse certain areas they wont ship to.

Which fpv goggles that are compatible with non-fpv drones should I get? I have always wanted a drone but the immersion of fpv goggles are just too good to miss out on!

[@georgecrawley767]

Great Video! Just on a side note how much do you think you should spend on goggles relative to the drone I'm flying. (for example if I spend £200 on a drone what price range should I look to spend on goggles?) Thanks!

[@JoshuaBardwell]

The price of the goggle is really independent from the price of the drone. In theory, if you intend to be in the hobby for the long haul, you should buy the best goggle you can afford on day 1.

Hey man I love all your videos basically ive learned all I know about the hobby the most from you! I've watched most of your buddy's videos also but your the best and most likable knowledgeable of you all, so I ended up getting my first fpv drone,goggles,and glasses after waiting for a year due to learning what to get and then saving enough money to buy what I wanted and at the time I was over covid but still dealing with the after effects namely Brain Fog and I got all set up ready to go on my maiden flight I was so stoked and I lost my drone. First flight! It was due to the brain fog I had done enough simulator practice plus I was good at flying regular store bought drones but my reaction time was off for sure idk maybe I was over exited and lost it! It really sucks so now idk which drone I should get to start again its been 6 months and the brain fog is finally over with I thought I was going to be stuck like that forever but now I dont have much money cuz of course I lost my job and so I wanted to see if you'd recommend a drone under 250 I have an analog system

[@sit-and-fly7785]

JB, I can't help but think that you are picking the best bias ply tire for 2021, or the best incandescent bulb, or the best CRT monitor. All great technologies in their day, but that day is past. I use the old Aomway Commander V1S goggles in my avatar when I'm flying whoops around the house. Everything else is digital as will be anything I buy going forward. Great video for those still interested in analog, though.

[@JoshuaBardwell]

I think you would be surprised how many people can't afford DJI and will be flying analog for the forseeable future. The analytics for this video show it trending towards the high end of what I usually get, so that's encouraging.

[@scottmilano2940]

One deal breaker with Analog DJI, was the time it took to sync the incoming video and start streaming. If the quad ever goes out of range for an instant, it’s 3 seconds of black screen and a crash. Never happens with Analog goggles. And with a Rapidfire module, when you change channels, that same 3 second black screen is between each channel making it hard to tune.

Ordered the EV300o to upgrade from my EV800dm yesterday from the link. Hoping the LCD to oled jump is worth it. Thanks for this video.

Joshua, thank you for your devotion to the hobby. I think your spreadsheet is great. It will benefit from additional footnotes. I can think of a first one ... the 'modular' of SKY04X needs an '*'. It's 'Skyzone' modular. Edit: A thesaurus as well ... 'ridiculous' is that a good thing? 😊

I mean you CAN get a 3rd party module into it. Getting a cover to fit is a little trickier.

[@lukeiam0]

Great post! However I am disappointed the EV800DM goggles were not on the list. Yes, the screen is smaller than the EV800D but with the magnification added they look as big. Huge plus is that the DMs are much lighter. Also, I like the full face feel versus the 800Ds cheek pillows. Take a look at KababFPV review of the DMs. I will wait couple of months and if this line up is still the same I will get 04X to upgrade my DMs. Cheers from Canada!

I currently have the Skyzone o2c goggles, after watching this I feel like they are inferior to most goggles now. When I bought them I was in such a rush to get this style of goggles instead of the big clunky box goggles, I had the makerfire equivalent of the 800d. But now I'm rethinking this with the new cobra's coming out. I need to see more and if they have a good DVR I might switch. Do you know anything about the DVR? Better or worse than my skyzones and if I am allowed another question, are they smaller and lighter than the 800d?

[@The-Opium-Den]

Thanks for the video, Joshua! I was wondering when this video would be released. If I was going to enter the hobby this month, I'd definitely use this video as a reference point when shopping around.

First love the channel subbed !! I have an attitude v2 that I’ve had for probably 5 years. The module broke at the antenna attachment. I’m looking at the attitude v6 now. Would I be impressed with the screens on it coming from the v2s ? Or do you think I should just get the older attitude v5s ? (Oled screens) I like Fatshark and would like to stay with them. Or should I just go ⚽️ 🏀 out and get the hdos?

[@RCB0B]

Josh how future-proof are the higher tier goggles (primarily the Orqa or HD02) in terms of how many years they'd be good for? Leaning on the HD02 but just thinkin about how many years of investment we're talkin about before I'd have to buy a new pair. I'm assuming they'd last so long as the receiver unit is upgraded as needed?

[@ExStaticBass]

Do you know of any stereoscopic set-ups? It occurs to me that something like that would be a great benefit because it would add a 3D field of view to the equation. It could be done by having 2 cameras transmitting on different channels in my theory. Im curious to know if you have heard of anyone doing this.

Joshua, I'm a newcomer to FPV and tho I started with a set of 02X goggles I quickly ordered the Skyzone 04X goggles since I needed the focus capability to compensate for my +1.5 reading glasses.. and have had the 04Xs for 2 weeks... The narrow plate would not clip on pressing as hard as I could. I thought it would not Format a microSD .. but it turns out it does work but they deleted all Format progress Success/Fail notices. I was used to seeing this feedback with the 02X but 04X doesn't let you know when it's done. I was then disappointed at the difficulty of decoding the Chinglish 04X manual, and navigating and using the menus. Its full; of grammatical mistakes. Only yesterday did Albert Kim post a video on how to update the firmware properly.. My issues tho were NOT dependant or fixed in the firmware update Ver: 1.3.4? they are all problems using the the GUI which for starters is yes, simple in most cases, but rather complex in some areas since you must hop back and forth between left and right Buttons, scroll wheel, and the wheel's push Button to do almost anything and it's not forgiving if you press one button out of sequence.. There are buttons and a scroll wheel on each side which has it's own internal push button, and the durations you press each is often important. I wish it had more dedicated buttons instead. To select a specific file and Play it back was initially hard, especially since I didn't actually read the manual... :) It took me a week to do this the 1st time.. Its still difficult for me to STOP a Frequency Search once one is started since it gets into an endless loop after it finishes a scan and then re-starts searching the bands again when you touch the RT scroll button.. I really hate to complain like this but although these goggles really are fantastic to fly with.. I found the GUI to be terrible, and to top it off.. if you try to follow the manual and match the indexed diagram to the actual text, you quickly find they use different names in the drawing index that aren't found in the text on how to operate it.. For example, they say to Hit the "OK" button .. but there is no "OK' button on the diagram.. it could be any one of the 4. I still haven't found this "OK" button.. Oh well it's all fixable in s/w so there is hope.. Thanks again for a terrific comparative review of these goggles.. I believe I made the right choice.. mostly because I did not want to to spend so much on DJI cameras..

I have a tight budget, ~350, but I also have rapidfire already, so the Attitude v5s seem like an obvious choice for me. Would you think that the RF performance gain of RF would be worth more to a whoop class racer than the OLED?

[@mirekfpv4267]

I was watching videos about what type of screen is best for eyes and there was OLED is really BAD for you eyes because OLED screen cant adjust its brightness so when you want to lower brightnes it actually starts to flickering at 220hz and dimmer you set it, longer will be the turned off period, its called OLED PWM. (just lower the brightness of oled screen and record it in slow mo). And this flickering is causing headaches and hurting eyes. But that few minutes of flight i think its ok.😊

Yep, some people do get along better with box goggles. I'm one of those people. The Fatshark Scouts are my favorite analog goggles so far. Gal Kraemer has just released a review of the Cobra box goggle. They seem to be even better than the Scouts. It's great to have some excelent, higher-end analog box goggles available.

I know this is not a "budget goggles" review, but any suggestions for non-box goggles for a nearsighted user who is ok with taking off glasses? Budget is $200. No problem going used or "last years model". I've done multiple dozens of searches and just keep going in circles. I'm not a racer, I just slap a Whoop camera on cheap drones to have some fun around the yard I can't buy to try; I really need to zero-in on something with good odds of success. I tried the Eachine 100's, but couldn't quite focus and FOV was a little too narrow. It seems it's either those at $100, or the next option is $400 and up.

[@janoshaas5533]

Hey, thanks for the great video! Perfect timing for me. The EV200d seems like the way to go in my case, but while i was searching for it i stumbled across the EV300d.. Now i am a little bit confused about what to buy, i mean the EV300d would still be in my budget but is it worth it? What's the difference? Would be awesome to get a quick explanation! :) Keep up the good work, it's really helping me getting into the nice hobby!

[@iamshredder3587]

The ev300O are really good if you haven't got some already? More expensive I think but least to me they're really good, especially with the extra module fitted. (But I'm no expert)

[@icecorebaby]

Love my Fatshark HDO2’s and orqa’s! The only thing I don’t like is that if orqa’s need repair I have to ship it to Croatia for repairs from the US. I had to ship my Goggles back to Croatia due to unable to update from 2.5.0 to 2.5.1.

[@Kajedkid]

Very interested in the attitude v6. Especially with sharkbyte. Dont wanna give my money to dji.

[@juanmohedano2216]

Everytime I see this kind of video from you and your website and I dont see my EV300D I feel like I fucked up. At least they are being good enough for me atm. Thanks for your videos anyway, you helped me start in this hobby by A LOT

[@JoshuaBardwell]

The reason I avoid the EV300D is that I feel Eachine really let their customers down with the latency problem. They released a firmware that fixed the latency but it introduced visual glitches for some people and they never fully fixed it and I don't think they intend to. If you are happy with them, they're good goggles. I just don't go out of my way to encourage people to get them.

[@gukobayashi6763]

Hi thanks 🙏 just waiting for the 2022 version

[@natesoilfieldobservations6755]

Attitude V5? My 2nd goggles... They didn't make this list?! Yeah, you can't find them really, but I still got a pair... Also, I am SOOOO happy I saw your review of the EV100's, I canceled my order a son as I saw your review!

[@jimdeangelo9744]

Would you consider providing a link to the spreadsheet?

[@nofreebeer]

So I know I am a little late to this video, but where are you seeing the Eachine 0300o and Skyzone 03o for 390 and 400? Was there a huge price jump over the last month?
