Nice Quality Box Goggles! Hope other Companies start making Quality Goggles as well. R.I.P. Tinyhawk S 😢

[@birdman316]

nice goggles! i have the recons and theyre really nice... im sure these will be on my list in the future....top of the list lol!

[@sleepingbearffg5008]

Hey my friend..look close to dr3..on my list too..lol love ya

[@djs134]

Wonder if you can plug this thing into a computer and use the googles as a screen for a simulator like velocidrone

[@josephbove7477]

Great review. My heart felt sympathy for Tinyhawk. My he rest in peace! Lol

[@TerminatorDuo]

Is there any mechanism to focus the lens on them? Cause with every box style google I had this problem.. my face was either too close to the screen or too far.

[@uksewingmachineservice7030]

Looking good mate nice one don 🤠🇬🇧👌👌👌👌👌👌

[@pilototodidak]

I have scout and this is my first google

[@rckyfpv]

So if I have glasses and I put it on top of the goggles than the focus will be right?

[@MariusFBU]

In specs DVR records at 60fps, would be nice to see that

[@caspertheghost6084]

You should get modular v7 hd best drone by far

[@FilipRadelic]

Surprised these aren't getting more attention today, they do seem like the best new box goggles with 60fps dvr, some clever design features, integrated patch with true diversity... Sorry about your TinyHawk S :(

[@HalfChrome]

Thanks. I agree. They are quite nice

[@sirrocky13]

Hey dude... thanks for the video. I'm trying to get into this hobby. I need some help.

[@veek2767]

I'm just starting out and I was going to splurge on DJI FPV but I don't know if those work with TinyHawks and stuff. Was considering the Scouts to save a little money. What do you think?

[@HalfChrome]

DJI FPV will only with DJI stuff. Scouts are good option for Tinyhawks

[@dklassen]

Missed a point. In the specs they mention you can wear glasses with these? You may not wear glasses but have you tried that? How does it work out? I wear readers and 99% of the non box goggles don't have an IPD that goes below 59mm thus box goggles are the only choice for some of us... especially that need readers as well. Thanks for the review!

[@HalfChrome]

I typically wear contacts. I did grab my glasses and they do fit inside. However it’s a tight fit and if they were bigger they would not fit. It will depend on how big your glasses are.

[@filiped7298]

I was actually wondering when you were going to crash a drone in the water. Sorry about that 😐. Thanks for the review I wish the goggles were cheaper to make them a real contender.

[@HalfChrome]

I agree. They are nice but not cheap

[@Loft54]

Nice video, can't format SD card!

[@Bill-NM]

Will reading glasses work with the Scouts? Thanks.

[@HalfChrome]

Probably, depends on the glasses.

[@SkyPodp]

No HDMI ☹️

[@Alfredovommaro]

How far can you go with the original 10dB patched setup? Thanks friend

[@HalfChrome]

Depends on a lot of factors

[@JaydenLawson]

Nice review. Bummer about the Tinyhawk!

[@HalfChrome]

I was sad

[@WilliamHorsley1962]

Hi. Will these work with Walkeras LHCP antanea? Just subbed.

[@HalfChrome]

I would assume the internal patch is RHCP. It will work but you’ll basically be running one antenna

[@WilliamHorsley1962]

Good to know. Ill try Walkera goggles 4. Thank you.

[@davidlee50]

is there ant range issues, like what is safe for max distance?

[@HalfChrome]

That is more dependent on the drone not the goggles

[@project_98]

Hey great video man! But I just purchased a fpv drone so how do I pair the goggles to it?

[@HalfChrome]

Change the channels until they match. Most goggles can scan

[@project_98]

@@HalfChrome will do ! Tku

[@tpwman801]

that sucks about the tinyhawk. did you try drying it out and then powering it up?

[@HalfChrome]

I haven’t found it yet

[@tpwman801]

@@HalfChrome oh no

[@ChrisParayno]

Would you still recommend these in 2022? Are you using digital now a days?

[@HalfChrome]

I do still like them. They are my sons goggle of choice but I’m going the digital route myself.

[@skirmich]

What about compared to actual good EACHINE ala EV800D?

[@HalfChrome]

These scouts are better

[@undoubt1540]

Do they work in both 4:3 and 16:9 then? I assume the Tinyhawk is 4:3

[@HalfChrome]

4:3 only

[@undoubt1540]

@@HalfChrome Cheers man.

[@fekix222]

True diversity Rx?

[@blacksheep5339]

It has a 10dB patch from what i read on the website.

[@HalfChrome]

Yes. 10 I stand corrected. Thanks

[@TheMadmacs]

really weirdly poor idea to have patch mounted inside, everybody looks down with goggles on,

[@HalfChrome]

I would say most people look forward but some look down

[@TheMadmacs]

@@HalfChrome hehe, man, more people look left and down than look forward lol

[@MarshallBishop]

Anyone having a range issue with these? I'm only getting less than 200 meters with 3 different VTX's.

[@HalfChrome]

Are you on the correct channel? If you use auto search that is likely the problem. It also could be drone related. What drone? What VTX? What power output?

[@MarshallBishop]

Half Chrome yeah correct channel. I set the channel in Betaflight and triple checked at this point. I have 2 drones with iflight VTXs. One is a micro Succex. My 3rd VTX is the standard Mamba setup that comes on the Taycan BnF. I have the 2 iFlights set to 200mW and the Mamba set to 400. The Mamba will fly slightly farther but still not past the 200 or so meters. I contacted RDQ and they told me to upgrade my goggles because the Diversity patch is garbage and I shouldn’t expect it to fly farther that it is without losing signal.

[@gabrielramos7081]

better than vr d2 eachine?

[@HalfChrome]

Absolutely.

[@joshmaxwell3112]

Are they 4:3? Looks like it.

[@HalfChrome]

Yes. They are 4:3

[@williamon9]

@@HalfChrome 1136 x 640 should be 16:9

[@pnkru_9909]

Nice gargles..

[@iforce2d]

I think it's spelled "gaaaaaahhgles"

[@ryanhart9219]

These or ev200d?

[@HalfChrome]

I’m going to do a full comparison soon. Stay tuned.

[@MariusFBU]

ev200d has hdmi imput and dual module bay. So its nice if you want tu hooke up to computer or try 3D FPV (talking about setup with two cameras and VTX). But for best fpv experience in my opinion Scouts should much better (build quality, customer support and immersing view).

[@ryanhart9219]

Thanks!

[@bikerxxuk]

Bax Gaggles?

[@HalfChrome]

In NY absolutely

[@JukenFlaj]

I have lost one also. Regards.

[@HalfChrome]

It happens.

[@uacl028]

My glasses fit in there?

[@HalfChrome]

They built this set so people could wear glasses but they can’t be huge.

[@HalfChrome]

I just put my glasses on and tried them on. They fit but it’s definitely going to depend on what glasses you wear.

[@uacl028]

@@HalfChrome thank you, sir

Come on man. Don't fly directly over people's heads.
