Best Value Goggle of 2018 Eachine EV200D Review // Half the Price of a Fatshark HDO

[@jtr918]

Thank you very much. I'm reassured on my ev200d choice. For a canadian a set of hdo and a proper receiver cost between 800$ and 900$. Way too much

[@fpatv7647]

There are two fans, thats why the is an extra switch. One fan is always on.

[@markwestbrook3313]

FPatV absolutely, the one that's always on is a cooling fan for the components I think. :)

[@mtyler2469]

I love the ev200D! I had $40 box goggles b4 which were decent but the separate screens are so much more immersive and the fov being smaller then one big screen was so much less distracting which really improved my flying instantly. If you have blur up and down on the screen you can adjust that with the 3rd top strap and the face foam. I did glue all 3 foams together then covered it with pleather so it's like the after market fat shark plate. I also made a cord to plug into a 5500mah 2s lipo. So I get about 3 hours with the fan on high and recording on the DVR. I use both LHCP and linear whips so I have the receivers setup up with Meance patches and a clover leaf one linear and one LHCP. That way I don't have to switch antennas when going from my 3 inch or less to my 5 inch. DVR quality is good for being recorded from goggles too.

I ordered a pair last week , black ones. And they just shipped yesterday from Banggood .I can't wait ,I'm so excited . I've been using Aomway V1 Commanders for the last 2 years .Actually they are the only goggles I ever owned and all I know are the Aomways. I find it really hard to dish out $500 bucks for Fatsharks plus a receiver. I paid $300 for the Aomways and only $275 for these V200s , so watching your review on them really puts my mind at ease. Definitely look forward to more videos from you on tare down and mods on these goggles. I watch a lot of your videos and I think no one knows better about this shit than you. So thanks for the info and looking forward to seeing more on the Eachine V200. Maybe you can make a list of compatible Fatshark receivers that will work as a option to the Eachine ones not that it needs it but just in case.

[@chewyflies8297]

Hey did they arrive and they better than the aomways? Hope they are great (:

[@sm1340]

@@chewyflies8297 Not yet.. It's drivin me crazy..I hate waiting for shit from China.. When they say "It's commin on a slow boat from China" they ain't kiddin... I'l let you know as soon as I get them which I think will probably be after Xmas..

[@sm1340]

Well today is the 27th of December and my Eachine EV200Ds have arrived. I took them out in the backyard for a flight around , and I have to say I'm really impressed . It was a short flight cause its kinda cold out there today , but I think a like them better than may Commader V1s. Nice and clear and a lot more saturation than the Commanders .I give them 2 thumbs up . Definitely a good buy, I wouldn't hesitate at all to recommend them to anyone who is looking for a reasonable pair goggles. They seen to very well made, they don't feel cheap at all. " Happy as a pig in shit"...... :)) Nice big FOV too..

I told you

[@chewyflies8297]

Monte Mont-ster that’s exactly what I wanted to hear (:

[@1998keagan1]

I used to own the ev800d box goggles (Love them), then a few months ago I bought these ev200d goggles and I HATED them the first day or 2, then I got used to them and now I love them! I bought the diopter lens kit (#2) and now they are EVEN BETTER! So glad I bought them, just make a simple 2s 18650 battery pack and you're good for 3-5 hours.

[@pabkoba]

Hi mate! I have a ev800d and was planning on switching to slim line goggles. How was the change from ev800d to ev200d in regards to immersion? I dont care much about DVR, just want to feel like im flying around, and also prioritize portability.

[@SOLARFPV]

Yeah, that made up my mind. Using your link, as soon as I finish this comment Thanks buddy, I beg that you do some mod videos, or at least try fix the fan, wich should be pretty simple. Great review

[@jlarson42]

Hi. I already bought the ev200d goggles. Very happy overall with them. The image quality, price and being a noob was an easy choice for me. The software interface can be annoying with how slow to do some things but flying no issues so far. I am curious how well other modules work in it. Thanks for your review.

[@DaffyDubzFPV]

What's the max voltage I can use to power the goggles? I prefer to have backup batteries for goggles and I hear the stock battery is not the best. I can't find the voltage range for these anywhere.

[@FPVrare]

Am I just thinking that DM is already planning what to mod on this model🤣 I cannot wait mate👌👍

[@rcsenior8082]

Great video! What four antennas shall we go for if buying the EV200D?

[@JBarzdins]

I have these and I can confirm that it works from USB power. Included battery is to small. Very often I end up powering my googles from USB.

[@ryanbethel6168]

I have the 200's also. I love them. My brother in law has dominators V2's and I will pick the ev200's every day of the week esp for the price. I bought one of those 10000 mAh pocket phone chargers for 20 dollars keep it in my pocket and run the USB cable up to the goggles. Charge lasts 3-4 hours and less weight on your head. Been using them for 3 months now and no complaints at all.

[@NordicBlueRC]

@@ryanbethel6168 Good to know they run direct from the USB. Going to jump up my goggle game next year and these are top contenders for me.

[@Highflyer86]

The lower the frequency the longer the range is generally correct. But other factors might counter this effect, in this case the lower you go the further you are away from the ideal frequency of the antennas which should generally be at 5800Mhz. Or am I wrong?

[@joesegala1856]

If you can get by the dvr/channel/osd quirks these have almost double the penetration and range as my old HD2/Rapid fire setup, using two X-Air , one VAS ion, and a MX-Air antenna is win. I hope some firmware come out in the future. Picture quality and color is also amazing for the price

[@rcfundyer5739]

Hey bro great video love all your videos do you know if the ev100 is any good thanks any info is greatly appreciated

[@gunngin3586]

How does this compare to the aomway commander v1?

[@MCsCreations]

Fantastic, dude. That's a really great option! 😃 About the fan, it have 2. One of them is always on for cooling the internal components and the other you can switch on/off for defogging. 😉

[@airdevil21]

Thanks for this review! Iam sure now that this will be my next goggle after the vr006 mini and ev100. Thanks!

[@doom3crazy]

Hey you should address the DVR recording issue that was wide spread for awhile. The image would be very washed out. They released a firmware update that helped the issue but still didn't quite fix it. You should also test rapidfire module and see how they perform.

[@DroneMesh]

My kinkong Tiny gt8 video was recorded with this goggle I will release recording and tear down in upcoming video.. Dont have the rapid fire module yet.

[@ReptarKingoftheBrozone]

Have you been able to figure out if it switches between receiver modules using hardware or software?

[@claytonbateman]

You mention that the modules can be purchased separately. Where you might you purchase the modules. I have a set of EV200 that for whatever reason only have one of the stock modules. Ive been looking for a second so I can use the dual diversity like it was designed.

[@DroneMesh]

You can get it from here bit.ly/2Ef0i1F

[@dougkresl7538]

Another good option that got some good reviews was the SkyzoneV3 version 2. There were some fitment issues with the first version. Built in receivers and I see them on sale for around the $350 mark.

[@adrianlee30]

Greetings did you ever got the R9M module to work with the Flysky fs-i6 mod?

[@ueigerchaves5726]

Dronemesh the ev200d is easier to focus then the prime1s?

[@someonespotatohmm9513]

the flysight falcon might be an alternative for this one depending on what you prioritize. Other than that they seem good value but i am slightly concerned about longevity of their display. If I understood it correctly they use a projector like tech. That is what the fan is for but they are known to have quite a limited lifespan. They might have dealt with that problem though.

[@emilgabl9069]

So, u like these better than aomway commanders v1?

[@mikesullivan5851]

I'm looking for something that will allow me to fly my inductrix fpv plus around the outside of my house my cheap machine box goggle lose the signal will these work better

[@damiansetunge8463]

are you planning in selling your old fatshark or the aomway goggle?

[@timb7328]

I would have hit the buy button weeks ago if it wasnt for the worry of if something goes bad. I have read of too many people being told really crappy things...2 months old and told well the goggles are made to last only a limited time, people being ignored and told they would get back to them then never heard from again. $300 is still a decent chunk of change and to be blown off is ridiculous, they know they are in China and you cant do squat to make them settle up so they dont seem to care. Anyone actually have issues with their Eachines and have a positive experience?

[@stofffpv3128]

ive had my pair for a year and a half..they are fab and have never let me down..(dont you just hate saying that..lol) but they are slow to get into DVR mode or in search..but i may off heard of software update..will have to look. but id deffo recomend them..as yer man in the street who struggles to find spare money they brill value

I'm having a hard time with my EV200D goggles. They give me Blackouts from time to time. BG already replaced them for another 85 € but with the new ones they started to do the very same thing. Thats painfull and caused me to crash a lot. Even almost lost three quads. I'v no confindence in them any more.

[@DroneMesh]

Blackouts??? We have been using them for 2 weeks and never had the issue. What is your setup and can you send one for debugging on channel which will send back.

[@daslolo]

@dronemesh you need to do a teardown before recommending a pair of goggles because you'd see how poor the quality of construction is and how they're not serviceable. These have the worst quality control and getting them is playing roulette.

[@jordanbass3210]

Most of the modules for fatshark goggles just pop out of their plastic housings so they can be replaced

[@scooterpie1143]

Excellent Review!

[@redlines2535]

No teardown on this video, ok

[@CaribbeanZapatta]

hanging a battery on your head is dumb. sorry. there are ,many powercords available allowing you to put a regular lipo in your pocket ! Better yet the Dock King ! most of us drive to our favorite spot so the Dock King on the roof is perfect ! Combine that with a 5" :LCD Screen with DVR and life is easy....

[@KrotowX]

Nothing dumb actually. If battery or battery case are not heavy and keep firm on googles head strap then it will not annoy you. Plus it will work as counterweight against googles weight on your face.

[@claytonbateman]

I would rather have a battery on my head that I can quickly remove from my head if it caught on fire than have a battery in my pocket that when on fire can set my pants on fire that can not quickly be removed.

[@KrotowX]

@@claytonbateman But you should be completely unlucky to have your head in fire. At least it is the main reason to avoid using completely finished LiPo's - they belong to recyclable battery bin.

[@mshane86]

Dammit, your about a month late. I already bought the Aomway v1, way better than my ev100's, but the DVR is TERRIBLE. I'll probably fly with them for quite a while. I don't care about recording anything but I always do anyway.

[@MBorga]

Hi i don't like Eachine Googles. The ev100 was bad and get tested from the people which buy it. And the ev200 where not available for 2 years. Better buy any other googles in the same price in my Opinion. With the ev100 i had these Blackout Problems Bg don't care about it and a direct e Mail to Eachine do not even answer me.

[@KrotowX]

Initial EV100 revision had serious issues. Third revision however was already pretty nice except only very small picture size. They still are the only googles under 800$ price mark with working independent focus adjusting for each eye.

[@claytonbateman]

The EV200 are a completely different animal than the EV100s.

[@MBorga]

Yes right.... but in my case the service from Bg and Eachine itself was really bad. Sorry never again. When i sell a product with issue it is my Problem to get it to work. not the customer has to solder ic ships to get it to work.

[@KrotowX]

@@MBorga Reality: The price difference between 300$ and 600$ lies in ability to solder. Pay twice if you can't. Although I agree that Eachine could test EV100 better before release. So far they seems started to do that with EV200D.

[@TheGorillawind]

I think you're missing the point with ev100's, for less than £100 (depending on the day at bg) you get a set of immersive goggles that wont break the bank. You wouldn't buy a £1000 guitar just to try guitar, youd buy a cheap one to learn on. Yes the ev100s have issues but for what they are you probably wont get better value

​@@CaribbeanZapatta No they don't have it, that's the point I was making- the ORQA makers are lying when they say they have the most features. Not needing a ground station and saving over $300 makes me happy. I just didn't want something with tiny screens and had to be under 300, having the best reception is just like an added bonus.
