Finally, some quality box goggles... Hopefully it becomes a trend.

[@gavinpowell8538]

Great review, just a question. I noticed the line down the middle of the screen, obviously you wouldn't notice it while using the google, but I only have one eye. Can you notice the line when you close one eye. Cheers

[@josephbove7477]

Fantastic review!

[@FilipRadelic]

Thanks for a nice detailed review! These seem pretty great. Sure they are priced a bit higher than your average box goggles, but they seem better in several ways. I am very tempted to sell some ride-along goggles and get these instead.

[@vapearenain-ua9789]

Hello Friend! Great video.! Does Fatshark Scout have a focal length adjustment?

[@madamada31]

Can you compare this to the EV800d?

[@trondyne3513]

Saying it has an auxiliary input tells us nothing... What kind of input from what sources?

[@luisrodrigues1630]

How does the picture quality compares to your HDO's? I'm not expecting miracles but I guess the specs and form factor look awesome for something in this price range.

[@warcub4547]

Does this come with a battery in the box?

[@edman1015]

What good camera drones will the Scout work with? They will not work with my Typhoon 5004k Yuneec.

[@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.

[@BurgerurgerFPV]

Can this output hdmi?

[@11jeopardy11]

what is the aux input for? can these be used with a sim?

[@Cumbrian_mandalorian]

I'm I right in saying you can use glasses with these goggles

[@djs134]

How would u compare them to the recon v2 ? Screen wise I mean. And can that av port be used for a simulator like velocidrone?

[@dronesdirect8617]

In my opinion the screen is way better than the recon v2. I had some issues with getting focus on the screen of the recon and the optics seem to be significantly better in the scouts. I think the scout is probably the nicest box goggle I have tried. The 60FPS dvr is really nice to have as well.

[@djs134]

Drones Direct awesome nice review, any idea if a sim would work on these

[@dronesdirect8617]

@@djs134 I don't see why not as long as you could use one of the input types :)

[@stevejhkhfda]

are you stocking these? I didnt see them on the site...

[@dronesdirect8617]

Hi Stephen yeah we will be stocking them, a link should appear soon :)

[@hcd1504]

Check now. mine just arrived from rotor riot

[@luchomartell3047]

tell about it please

[@DRYbeam2]

AUX input or AUX output?

[@MRsaerdnagnal]

DRYbeam it‘s Input. But I can’t find a cable that can fit inside that module. When anybody know what cable could be fit, then please write it to me.

[@joshmaxwell3112]

Is the image 4:3?

[@andreisopon4615]

16:9

[@luchomartell3047]

good but every video of goggles no one talk about i you wear glasses ah?

[@dronesdirect8617]

I think that depends on the glasses you wear. If they are small I think it would be possible to wear them. If they are large I don't think so. Unfortunately I don't wear glasses so it is hard to say.

[@catsarewaytoocool]

Lucho Martell In the description of these goggles on the fat shark website it says that the goggles have removable foam, allowing you to wear glasses while using them.
