Eachine EV300D - Buy Or Goodbye?

[@KremerFPV]

Correct latency test and firmware update: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJyugaWiYpV1fac

[@circleofowls]

I love my EV200D goggles but I was able to fly a pack on a friend's EV300D goggles and thought they were a big upgrade. The screens were amazingly bright and sharp, I saw no latency at all with my 5" acro quad and adjusting the focus for my eyes took only a couple of seconds. I was able to see the screens perfectly, edge to edge, though I can not with my EV200Ds. The software and on screen displays were a big upgrade as well.

[@amirmehler]

Thanks Gal! Please note the points mall link is broken and so is your second bitly link to HDO2

[@KremerFPV]

Thanks, but both links seem to be working fine. Please try again.

[@RADERFPV]

I'm still rocking HD2's from 2015, not to be confused with the HD02's of today. Still love them, no need to upgrade. But, someday the DJI stuff will have to make it's way to my fpv bag, for sure. These look good for newcomers though, nice option for sure.

[@KremerFPV]

If it works well and you're happy, there is no need to spend extra money. Happy flying!

[@Claudineimatosao]

hello, a help please! I bought the vr300d, however, it came without a battery and the ones I have here only last 5 minutes on, which is the right battery model I can buy ??? thanks

[@KremerFPV]

I would recommend to use a battery case with 2 LION 18650 batteries.

[@rob3393]

Are there any other goggles that have both adjustable diopter and take lenses?

[@KremerFPV]

You can get it done on the HDO 2 and similar goggles by 3d printing a pair of adapters: www.thingiverse.com/thing:4163206

[@mishrasubhransu]

Would love to see a test of latency using the 5.8ghz receivers. No one on the internet has shown low latency, so your video will set a solid data point. I am always impressed by your detailed tested and would love to see them for latency test on these. Everyone just claims that they don't feel any latency but no actual video.

[@KremerFPV]

Thanks, I will try to post a separate video about the latency issue.

[@MrSergione75]

Thanks to your review, I purchased 1 pair. Is it just me or after the last Fw update, the picture ( at least on the right Screen, shifted to thr right ? Now I have to move the Ipd knob all the way to the left ???

[@KremerFPV]

Sorry but I no longer have these goggles. Did you try to reach out to Eachine's support team?

[@herphermits]

How does this compare to the FatShark HDO? And whoch one is straight-up hetter, this or the FatShark HDO? I need to know as i wanna buy either one soon.

[@rogueFactor]

I bought and I'm extremely happy with them.

[@KremerFPV]

That's great!

[@rogueFactor]

@@KremerFPV i use the NIDICI MINI FPV DVR module. you have to switch vid/grnd connections on the wire but man does it record nicely from these goggles

[@KremerFPV]

@@rogueFactor Perfect. I might have to try it out.

[@jlarson42]

Great review. I was very happy with my ev200d goggles. My son in law is rocking those now. If Eachine could just step up their quality control a bit, I'd have no problem recommending the ev300d goggles. Hopefully they quickly get a handle on the latency issue. Happy flying. 💖🤓

[@KremerFPV]

Thanks a lot John. Happy flying and have a great weekend!

[@Shauny_D]

Has anyone found a good battery setup for. this? The included 18650 battery case lasts 15minutes tops even with6000mah. A 3s pack will last an hour but the goggles osd battery level only works for 2s so you don't have indication is 3s is low so it drops too low blacks out goggles and you ruin your 3s pack.

[@KremerFPV]

Which 18650 batteries are you using? I think that you might have either fake or defective ones. I need to double check it but you might be able to set the voltage warning level thought the settings of the goggles.

[@Shauny_D]

Gal Kremer can't set voltage in goggles settings. Have tried 4 different sets and brands and mah values of 18650's. Also just a regular 2s lipo. Anything "2s" immediately shows as half battery level. I'm hoping someone found the right combo of 3s/4s and mah capacity that keeps these running for a couple hours. Nice goggles after the latency firmware update but battery killers for sure. And both the little boy stick buttons have broken on mine after a month of use. I have to jam a toothpick in there to use them. Eachine does not support warrenty btw. Spent 3weeks sending videos and pictures showing the issues. Eventually they said, ship them to us in China we MIGHT be able to fix if you aren't lieing but if we can't fix will ship them back at your exspense. Never dealing with Eachine again that's for sure.

Updated title: "Good Buy or Goodbye?"

[@WilkieaSt]

Scrolled to the comments to post the exact same thing hha

[@KremerFPV]

That was my second choice for a title ;-)

[@corneliudoc]

Besides the latency, whose picture is better, EV300D or Skyzone03O?..

[@KremerFPV]

IMHO SKY03O.

[@MCsCreations]

Awesome review, Gal! 😃 Thanks a lot!

[@KremerFPV]

Thanks Mario :-)

[@jakubsmejkal3798]

Which antennas to buy for these goggles? SMA female, male, RP SMA? Thanks for replying.

[@KremerFPV]

SMA :-)

[@ho-xo8my]

Could you please show the test from the VTX in that future videos? That's will be nice cuze until now it's not even one video showing that's 50ms or something similar probably it's just a coincidence than you don't show yours.

[@KremerFPV]

I will try to post it in the next week or so. For now you will have to take my word for it.

[@johncarold]

Hi Gal Great video and review of the Eachine EV-300D, I am looking for a new set of goggles and I am looking at the SKYZONE 030, I started with Eachine EV100 and then I had the 800d and now I have Aomways commander v1 but my problem is that I can't find a set that the with won't go wider to fit me. Thanks again for the information and review

[@KremerFPV]

Hi buddy. The Sky03O is a great option and I'm pretty sure that you will like it. If possible, try to use a pair before purchasing them in order to make sure that it will fit your face.

[@Ale-le1gy]

Do you recommend buying these eachine ev300d or skyzone sky03s?

[@mantisfpv4514]

I have the Sky Zone 03s and love them and it has a great DVR

[@ho-xo8my]

I buy this goggles and as each unit out there they have latency. Don't believe in this guys I'm sure they want to keep they relation with eachine and BG. sellers...

[@KremerFPV]

My unit doesn't have any latency issues. Regardless, if you can afford it - go with the Sky03O. I haven't tried the Sky03s so can't really tell you if to get them or not.

[@kolezka9]

ev300d or sky02x? Which would you choose?

[@KremerFPV]

EV300O ;-) The Sky02x is a better option out of the two in my opinion.

[@lievenvv]

I love my quadversity! I have been running 4 Menace patches, and it totally rocks. After switching to RapidFire I was kind of underwhelmed, to be honest... (I might need more testing / antenna tweaking, but still..)

[@KremerFPV]

Thanks for your input. I will run more tests soon ;-)

[@lievenvv]

​@@KremerFPV There are some great tests by e.g. Bardwell, and RapidFire _should_ definitely beat it. I guess I was just expecting more!! Nevertheless, the ability to fly all around yourself using only patch antennas is pretty sweet! :)

[@peterzingler6221]

@@lievenvv it will not beat it. 4 patches have a massive gain compared to an omni and a patch on rapidfire

[@h2o-fpv623]

Well thank u for the video I know we as consumers should try something that it's going to cost so much money before buying but in my case I don't know anyone or i dont know any hobby stores around a big city like ny city now i bought this googles just because the specks and if is for the reviews and every video that I see anyways I'm happy with mine and thank u for the video

[@KremerFPV]

My pleasure. I am glad you're happy with your new goggles.

[@josephbove7477]

As always one absolutely fantastic review! I think your assessment is spot-on, It's an excellent value for the money but if you can afford the higher price of the SkyZone OLEDS that would be the goggle of choice. Although for me, my next goggle purchase will be DJI. Thank you Gal for this informative video.

[@KremerFPV]

Thanks a lot Joseph. I'm glad you agree with my assessment :-)

[@dr.dougdroneson4239]

Looks like some great options. I only wish I could afford them right now

[@BrunoGomes666]

I bought these goggles and like so many others, I feel the latency pretty heavily. We're trying to get Eachine's attention to this issue and sure hope it's solvable with a firmware update. With the Chinese new year and the corona virus situation, we're still waiting. Banggood simply doesn't care when ppl complain, and some ppl already complained to PayPal to get their money back. Assuming you have a production unit, your latency result came out as a surprise to me, as 100ms (aprox.) has been quite consistent... I've heard that someone tested a pre-production unit and got a really low latency, but as I could not confirm, I will not mention names or values. What I know is that the box claims a low latency display and even with the value you got, these are still some of the goggles with one of the biggest delays on the market today. I'll wait a few more days to get some kind of reaction or solution from Eachine. If they don't provide one, I'll complain to PayPal, as some ppl already did.

[@davidulivelli]

changing the receiving module? Does latency decrease?

[@calv83]

@@davidulivelli no it doesn't change, I own both the EV200D and EV300D, swapped the modules and you get the same issue.

[@BrunoGomes666]

@@davidulivelli from the tests many ppl are doing, it changes nothing. Using the AV in, the same. The only decrease ppl noticed (supposedly) is when using the hdmi in. This makes me believe that the problem might be somewhere in the process when the analog video signal is converted to digital. But this is just my speculation...

[@BrunoGomes666]

@@AndrejVrab I think eachine has released only once a firmware to update some latency issue in the ev800 goggles is I'm not mistaken... Fingers crossed! 🤞😅

[@haydaa3342]

Eachine and firmware update. This is big comedy. It's like dreaming. They have not published a firmware about their products on the Global site. I don't think they will release firmware

@@sganzerlag Are you telling me you like your scout more than your hd3?

[@sganzerlag]

@@justfpv1432 Yes, I like my Scouts much better than my hd3. The Scouts are awesome goggles if they fit you. Also, you can have the local optometrician grind you a regular pair of prescription lenses which you can stick to the Scouts using double sided tape. Nothing beats having your actual prescription on the goggles instead of those plastic fatshark diopters.

Good rewiev, but need to be careful to say something like: "eachine WILL update software to solve so and so issues". They maybe, but will not most probably.

And gess what it not a test on the video :'D between a controversy a guy come out like ehh.. here all it's ok no latency test .. believe me my one a 50ms maybe eachine will come with a update ... it's a joke

[@Steve-O_FPV]

I agree. I started flying with a wizard x220 and it was ok but i have bought other eachine items that were as you say, junk, or quickly died and became junk.
