What do you think of the goggles? Need more DVR input please. Also, I should have been more clear, I was actually making an argument against green screen, it would take a big out pouring of "yes" for green screen to make an appearance.

[@sirroger1]

that micro you're flying is sick mate, 10% throttle hover, the punch outs are incredible! really interested in your video on it, I'd even offer to buy it off you if you would consider that! cheers!

[@noahreinhart3555]

the dvr footage you are showing is better from the 03o's. no one really notices the small breakup you are getting since we are all quite used to it lol. I would prefer the higher quality dvr of the skyzones . there is a lot to be said for being comfortable as well Nick. I tend to fly better when Im cozy and can see lol. hell worst case grab a dock king and add a eachine dvr to do recordings and fly the skyzones.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

@sirroger1 I bought this back in feb and the frame has since been updated, I broke the frame I have. He is sending me the updated version, but is thinking about shutting down after getting a new job. I hope he continues to sell at least the motors.

[@muteFPV]

Hey Nick. If you do enjoy how the Skyzones look, you can just use your RapidFire as a ground station for your DVR - absolutely no reason to compromise on comfort and (live video feed) image quality. The out of sync DVR is an issue I have noticed on the DVR footage of many brands, not just Fatsharks. The DVR of the Skyzones skips frames at least twice in your example footage but I am not sure if it is because of the actual footage or your editing timeline. Looking forward to trying the Sky03O myself, great to finally see some competition.

[@theflyingfish7338]

Never heard the word fitment so many times. You love the image, they are comfortable, they have an OSD and the dvr looks solid and captured a steady 30fps. I don't understand what the dilemma is here. Switch. :)

[@propwash6880]

I'm a video professional, believe it or not, and I can honestly say a green screen would distract more. Your audio is great and your signal is fine. The info is what we want. I'm assuming nobody cares what is behind you. Keep pumping out the great reviews and awesome backyard flights.

[@TexasWaters]

What he said.

[@anxietyfpv6072]

Agreed. We like the i for and how u put it. You and ur drone room is good enough background. Don’t get to fancy

[@xXxCHUBBxXx]

Use the the Skyzone and add a dock king for the rapid fire if needed.

[@Kabab]

I concur. Easily the very best analog Goggles on the market. No competition. I actually think the rapidfire is a bit better but the screen on these goggles is such a huge leap up from even the HDO, it's actually worth any degree of minor reception hit for them.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Thank you. Did you review them as well?

[@Kabab]

@@NickBurnsFPV my computer is currently broken...working on it. Can't get anything rendered at the moment 😔

[@NickBurnsFPV]

oh, thats rough. I have thought about getting something new, but this old one does work for most videos.

[@lisastrom9134]

I have rapid fire already but my domv3 broke. So do I buy these or hdo?

[@Kabab]

@@lisastrom9134 wait a month to see what the Orqa are about

[@sganzerlag]

Regarding the studio background, I like the view of the workshop. It's nice to be able to see what your workshop is like. I also enjoy the views of your neighborhood and house. What a beautiful house, by the way.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Thank you.

[@SemteVruchte]

Please no green screen or whatever, you be you and thats what we like and why we are subscribed

[@mathewatkinson5723]

I think the video was much clearer from the Skyzone goggles. Thanks for another great vid Nick.

[@dcvshambhu]

Hi Nick ..you are real hero of fpv world ...the way you reveiw is unique and super pointed....by honest reviews u are earnings love faith of thousands of subscribers.... I m one of them...and you looks like HERO ....may u live thousands of years.. Thanks

[@pksteffen]

DVR does look better. You do what you think. Good to hear your opinion. Background doesn’t matter, your research does. Thanks!

[@doodlesdeluxe]

Your backdrop is great. As someone who works in video prouduction, I wouldn't use a green screen unless you absolutely need it. In addition to setup it's a post production pain.

[@stevedelp4067]

Everything looks good , looks like a real shop area. Thats what i like about your stuff . U keep it real.

[@Eurisko1975]

Skyzone has always given better products than fs. I say make the switch. And your background is perfect. Makes you closer to us as you are like us. Don't change anything.

[@sixtofive]

Skyzone dvr looks great, I'd say go forward with that. If your testing isn't vtx related necessarily you could add a diamond vtx and eliminate the usual dvr noise with onboard recording.

[@MCsCreations]

Well... All I can say is that if I had the money, those are the goggles I would buy. And red! I LOVE that color! 😂 Yeah, it would be great if we could use RapidFire in them, but... Nah, who cares! 😂 Great review, Nick! Great flying as well!!! 😃

[@Roblamont1]

keep the background the way it was. makes you come across as honest regular guy just showing people about cool new products. the skyzone dvr looks fine. at a glance you cant tell the difference . i prefer you vids. straight to the point and informative. keep up the good work.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Thank you.

[@RCDevotee]

Skyzones look best in all situations. I never thought much of Fatshark DVR quality in any of their goggles. I may need to sell my HDOs with Rapidfire now. Thanks for the info Nick!

[@circleofowls]

The Skyzone DVR looks great, the reception is too similar to make a difference but no dropouts and consistent FPS seems like the way to go. I don't really notice backgrounds, it's your content that keeps me coming back.

[@reisfpv638]

I definitely think you should switch to the sky Zone! And I love seeing all the quadcopters and parts behind you. I see the t-shirts every time you wear them on the Channel! Thanks for all your hard work and research!

[@joshmobley263]

Since you have been in front of the camera I have always like the background!!

[@therealmikief1]

Great review. Thanks. We like the 'stuff' because it's stuff we like! Quad stuff! No need to hide it.

[@heliharris69]

For the price of these at Bangood right now...these are a no brainer. Good review...Great flying ...and a lovely house you have..

[@noahreinhart3555]

Ill tell ya I made the switch from HD3 with rapidfire to these 03o's super easy decision for me. the picture quality wasnt even close and they are super comfy as well.

[@daneboy34]

Another great video! The two DVRs looked the same to me, also we're watching dvr, it is what it is. I watch your channel to see how things fly.

[@gregwalden1503]

I really couldn't see a difference between the skyzones and hdos. Go with what works best for you. Please keep the studio as is, I like it

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Gotcha, Thank you

[@charleswarwick4849]

To me, the DVR looks identical. The lack of dropped frames makes the skyzones a clear win for me. Eh, the shirts are whatever you feel like. I don't mind clutter and I'm always amused seeing the shirt designs. Definitely one of thr strongest opinions I've heard on this channel in a while! I'm still flying Dom V2s with an eachine module so I've certainly got a bit of an upgrade itch unfortunately for my wallet...😂

[@elusive.firstname.lastname]

NICK!!! love the videos, especially this one. i love the new background. i love how technical your videos are. I think you should make the decision of what hardware you're using. i did want to mention, though, that you should stay with the setup you always have. nine times out of ten when i watch a youtuber and they get more money because theyre good at what they do they upgrade their camera and studio to like an actual studio instead of their room or basement or something i'll actually tune out and stop watching just because i love the grittyness of the og setup. keep it real for us man, again, love the info you give us!!!

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Thank you. I appreciate all the feedback, really valuable to me!

[@stevemann6082]

i like the sky zones their just easy to use and even my skyzone 01's are crystal clear..

[@shirdiali]

Skyzone for the win

[@1LittleTinker]

Yes, switch, but don't be afraid to switch back. Also if we get new fatshark modules you'll need the hdo to test, that might even cause you to switch back. I thought in general skyzone dvr image was slightly better. In higher signal areas rapidfire looked to have less breakup but very marginal. Finally consistent 30fps is a real bonus. No green screen needed :)

[@quadfather504fpv9]

I soo wanna try n save up for a pair of those goggles in my opinion the dvr looks great considering and the range and reception looks good to , they look like some all around good goggles , the only thing i don't like is the inability to change the reciever module but as long as they continue to preform good or have the option to do a firmware update in the future thats all that matters 👍👍

[@900spada]

Skyzone for the win.

[@D3V170]

I just ordered a pair of these recently. Should arrive tomorrow. I'm looking forward to them, having been using box goggles for the last couple years ( EV800Ds). Great video. 👍🏼

[@NickBurnsFPV]

I think you will enjoy these. I continue to use them as my daily goggles.

[@D3V170]

I was surprised to discover actually arrived today, when I got home from work this evening. They're amazing & really comfortable. I got the Iron Man red ones. I actually believe I'm gonna use the front camera quite a bit, actually. This goggle rocks. 🤘🏼😎

[@ChrisM-yr5tt]

Just had my first two flights in the house with the tiny hawk s and these goggles. I am blown away how good the video is during flying. Still havent figured out how to record. Must have not done it properly. I will figure it out. If the recording is anywhere near the quality of the goggles live feed, its way better than anything that ive seen before.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Good to hear your enjoying them. To record, press the rec button once quickly to bring the top osd down then press it again when you see the osd at the top. You should see red now on the left....its recording. If you press the rec button again it will only bring down the osd, press it again while the osd is down to stop recording.

[@ChrisM-yr5tt]

@@NickBurnsFPV Thanks. I got it set up to auto record a few minutes before you replied. Thanks for the quick response. I cant say im surprised by fatshark trying to shut down skyzone with the preoders on the new hdos. I dont lose one second of sleep wondering if I should have waited. The 030s were a great improvement from my previous goggles albeit a little pricey but well worth it.

[@vidi3266]

Clutter in the background was definitely the first thing I noticed, maybe just show the desk , like you used to, if you need the access to all of the shelfs in the back?

[@thegrafxguy1]

never paid attention to the background. every now and then i'll take a peak to see what you've got, but it's not a big deal to put stuff back there. mostly i'm watching and listening to you. i do like seeing the quad collection though!

[@daFexKM]

Sky Zone DVR looks just fine, go for it!

[@sharkey5150]

Hey Nick, I’ve been a subscriber and fan for quite a while now. I was hooked after only a couple seconds into the first video I saw of yours. The way that you get straight to the point on each feature clearly and quickly right from the start , works SUPER for Me. (Is there a such thing as KZbin induced A.D.D.?) Probably just from all of the reviews I watch. Other tubers drone on and on about the same feature too long.....yada yada... I can say, since I discovered your channel and subscribed, I’ve learned more in half the time as I did before. You do excellent work and I for one look forward to getting home from work to see what you have been up to.. As far as which goggles to use, I would have to agree with you. I don’t like it that the HDO’s aren’t as good as the Skyzone. We’ve come to depend on Fatshark as being THE BEST. It’s about time Fatshark has some competition. When I look at my Fatsharks they look OLD kinda out dated and stupid expensive . The only thing they did was add OLED monitors. That’s it.? What about all the other improvements they could’ve made? What about the stupid design of plugging in the balance lead into the fan deal? That’s pitiful. Then of course NO POWER SWITCH? Les we forget the Fatshark has the worst DVR on the market stuck in the most expensive goggle on the market. Either Fatshark can get on it and catch up with the quality and THE PRICE of sky zones or I don’t expect to see them surviving much longer. As far as your quad space you record from? I dig it! The parts, frames, tools, shirts, etc. in background. 1) looks cool 2) makes me feel much better about how messy my quad area is. Ha ha ha ha . Hey, but I know where everything is.🤔. You’ve done it again. Great work Mr. Burns.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

I really appreciate all the kind words. As I digested these googles I did have to ask myself why have the fatshark improvements been so slow and minor. He skyzone in really one version makes several small but major impact changes. I do see where fatshark must change their ways, but I am not sure we will see it in short order, how many editions have they made over the years and small changes all the way. Tide could be shifting, I would prefer we have the ability to change modules.

[@planetpower6686]

Thank you for your honesty. Great video

[@ched999uk]

DVR consistently running at 30fps without dropouts seems best too me.

[@neojeets]

I'd go with the Skyzone based on this comparison. Reception was very similar but the better DVR on the Skyzone seems like a nice improvement.

[@charleshenshaw9099]

For me the video from the Skyzones looked really good, and I could see more details. As for the stuff in the background, I don't pay attention to it. Thanks for the great reviews.

[@ChrisM-yr5tt]

Thanks NIck! Great review . Been waiting for a head to head of these two. I will be picking up the skyzones cause I dont fly in bandos. The dvr looked equal or better on the o3s given some good antennas. that extra 150 will buy me a good toothpick or 2 or some good parts for the quads. Picture looks awesome and cant imagine what the oled look like after 3 years of aomway cammaders v1s. Don't even think about a blue screen or whatever it is behind you. People tune in for the content, your flying and honest reviews. I like the workshop, some encompass rooms, some are well organized in a small space. Awesome job.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Thank you. The screens on these are so nice. They are my current daily fliers. I did find the low battery buzzer extra loud, just about crashed the first time I heard it. And the aluminum cover to the fan is a really smart move, it stays cool even in 95F heat bringing in cooler air to the goggle lenses.

[@28daballa]

If they had a module bay I would buy one just to try them out. I love my Rapidfire and I wanna try the TBS module.

[@BengalCatChilli]

Only thing the TBS version does better is work with crossfire telemetry better

[@MrBumbles2]

nick still have red paws lol, picked up viper there good ,, been scared to go FS , SZ, one is budget, two is fitment but SZ has been on my radar ... FS just too much then buy tx too.. SZ i may just do it.. as for you use what you feel is better... even 400 is ge a new quad , gas motor for my p51 build etc. fyi red paws dvr isn't bad but the settings to get there are odd but it shuts off randomly so i got the viper.. i would love to try some FS< SZ goggles to see how they fit etc.

[@slackerinmotion]

1) Based on your flying environment (low interference), the 03O seems better suited in reception, display, and recording than the HDO/RF combo. Subjectively, 03O fits comfortably on you, then I would recommend using 03O for a month and try HDO/RF again. Bet you would stay with 03O. You did say "these are the best goggles on the market...for analog FPV." For the rest of us, the price difference between HDO/RF and 03O of about $230 is the cost of an insurance policy on product/tech support. 2) Don't care about the background; content is more substantive. 3) Thanks for your review, Nick.

[@dronereviewman9580]

Another great review Nick!!!! I love fpv!!!! 👍😀👍

[@spcfa]

Regarding the DVR, I like the Skyzone 03O's better. Regarding your background, I like it the way it is now. This is your hobby room, it's a fine sight for me at least. Keep the videos coming, really useful stuff!

[@FlyingFun.]

DVR looks similar enough to not be an issue imho. Background is fine as it is. I'd get these in a heartbeat but I'm now thinking about digital lol...might stick with what I've got for now.

[@SilverTopFlyer]

Nick I got to say the skyzones do look quite a bit better...just my take ...im not seeing as much motion lag in the sky zone also the reception is also a bit less broken up on the skyzones....

[@rickinjax2330]

I'm glad you like these. I was on the fence, but finally gave in and ordered a pair yesterday. I ordered from Makerfire since they have a $25 off code (AUG25), and don't charge for shipping. I didn't see a significant difference in the DVR, and unless you plan to add trips around the house as a mainstay of your testing, I think the reception was fine.

[@biglouinorlando]

I've been looking at all the reviews on these, they are very appealing at that pricepoint. I have a set of Dom SE that serve me ok but I could see myself snagging a pair of these to upgrade my experience. I think I can live with out the replaceable module.

[@unofpv]

Skyzone FTW! Clearer picture

[@nm90fpv97]

In my opinion the skyzone dvr looks a little sharper and the consistent framerate makes it easier to edit

[@LourieJacobs79]

We'll, You've helped me make my mind up on the skyzones, definitely better.

[@brodog5734]

I vote the Skyzone

[@VideoBoat]

Being a video junkie myself, I think the video color saturation on the Skyzone/(SZ) looks better than the Fatsharks/(FS). Also, I've noticed on the outdoor flight, the FS has more break-ups lines across the screen, than the SZ (they were close, but the SZ had less). Also, that full cut-out, on the FS didn't help its rating either. A lesser experienced pilot could easily find himself wrapped around a tree, from 2 seconds of signal loss. Great flying BTW. Also, keep in mind, we, as consumers, normally base how good or "Forgivable", a product is, based on how much we've paid for it. If a product cost $100.00 but is worth $50, we naturally give it a less sparkling review. With that said, if we paid $100.00 for a product that's worth $400.00, we tend to give it a much better review. If the FS cost over $500.00 plus another $100 for a module ($600.00+), and is being compared to a $430.00 SZ, that doesn't use a module (or no apparent need for one), and is showing equal or better results, the savvy consumer would go for the most bang for his buck. Of course customer support plays a roll in decision making also. With that said, if a product doesn't have a huge history of break-downs, this may be a mute point. IMHO, with the video you provided, the SZ out-preformed the FS at a lesser cost.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

you make very good observations and points, especially about support and price/bang. Thank you

[@kirkrollins5591]

i say go with the skyzone 030 for sure .

[@JulianKent]

Skyzone DVR looks like it has a higher bitrate. Also it has deeper blacks. Skyzone all the way!

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Gotcha, thank you

[@SmoothCruizer37]

Nick, I'm going to say these Skyzone 030 look way better through my eyes than the DVR

[@fpvnme4845]

I honestly believe what makes YOU happy is what matters be in a $50 set of goggles or a $500 set of goggles what make you happy flying is what counts .. me I have the HD3 thy work there comfy and fit my stupid head .. great great review nick

[@whiffles]

How about the FatShark Scout DVR? It's far superior to any other DVR I've used. The contrast and silky 60fps really stand out. That's what I'm going to use to demo micros from now on.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

dvr records at 60fpv, boy that is something.

[@SunspotFPV]

The skyzone DVR looks great!

[@johnshropshire3399]

Thank you for the honest review! 👍👍

[@BengalCatChilli]

Can't wait to see your review on the new ev800dm's

[@Faith_Family_Firearms_Freedom]

In my opinion, the skyzone had slightly better clarity and saturation. The reception looked locked in. Of course we dont see what you see, but as far as DVR footage , I thought the skyzone edges out the fatsharks. And I don't have a dog in the hunt, I have neither , I'm still using aomway commanders.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Thank you

[@johncarold]

Hi Nick Great video, sounds like a good set of googles to look at, l hope to get a new set of googles soon , by the way I prefer the video recording of the Skyzone. Thanks again

[@Funcentric]

No, don't switch. I know nothing about this stuff (hence, I'm watching your videos), but I'm hearing you say that this is critical for your work, your KZbin channel and b/c of that alone, I'd think you would want to stick with what you have that works. For me, a newb, I'd gladly take the SkyZone due to the price and I don't know enough to know the difference. I know this is an older video. Curious what you ended up doing. Don't do the green screen. Form follows function. Not the other way around. I feel like KZbin viewers do care about how the set looks, but when it comes down to it, it's more about the content and how you present it vs how it looks or even how you look. It would be cool to clean things up a bit though. You have plenty of space in your basement which could maybe be an alternative.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

I did switch, I liked the dvr and image in the googles, more than my hdo goggles. Then I switched again to the Orca FPV One goggles because they have a 60fps dvr and larger screens in the googles.

[@papadronefresno8563]

Regarding the video background or "Shirts thing" question you had, I'd like to contribute. It's a late contribution as I use your videos at different times. Anyways.. My oppinion over time is that it (background) works for me. It keeps my hobby attention and also satisfies my personal need to know your human. lol Personal effects like tshirts help that. Tshirts could yield a lot of creative ideas for future shows. Who knows but tshirts seem like a nice addition to a set background. A working man's cave if you will. Hope that helps

[@Andre_M_3D]

I like the Skyzone DVR more than the Fatshark. I also wish I would have waited to get a pair of the 03C's instead of the Commander V1's. I think skyzone has stepped up their game and have finally made a contender to the HDO's. Nice video sir.

[@MBrulla]

Finally built a Duece!! Floaters are incredible, right? Skyzone really has learned from the mistakes of other goggles, so these definitely will gain traction. Blacks on the Skyzone seem significantly better, but is that something you could adjust with the HDO? Maybe. I'm curious as to how they'd perform with the same rx module... As for the background? Not much of an issue either way, but if you must know...a green screen on a retractable projector screen (simple to do) is convenient and would make chromakey, if you wanted to do it, easy. I wouldn't spend any time/energy on it, personally.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

The floaters and deuce are really fun, a bit sad to hear he is shutting down his shop. I wonder if he will continue to sell the motors through TBS. I did tinker with the chromakey, it looked only okay, I think its the resolution of the cam I am using. I think the background will stay organic, many prefer it that way.

[@AlexanderSlash]

Thanks for the review, Nick - awesome job. Regarding the crowded background, I would buy a new lens for your recording camera, maybe a F/1.4 (Sigma 35mm F/1.4 would do the trick), and the background would melt out in the blur.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

I wish I had a camera that would take a lens :(

[@AlexanderSlash]

Nick Burns anyway, I love your background!

[@alexyip]

1) switch. 2) i think we like to see all the quads in your background ;)

[@h2o-fpv623]

Good video skyzone definitely.

[@cedlouis]

Hi Nick!! I literally bought these skyzones because of this video!! I love 'em!! Quick question. Are the diopters removable? They don't seem to budge...thanks in advance, Nick. And keep up with the amazing content!!

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Good to hear your enjoying them. They do come out and they are very stubborn. I put mine back into to protect the screens as I didn't see a difference in the picture. They lenses are a different size than fatshark, so if you get Rx diopters they would need to be for the skyzone googles.

[@cedlouis]

Ahh ok gotcha! Thanks for helping me out!

[@ivanradfpv.4823]

Nice goggles! And shiny

[@electroddxful]

Yeah use the skyzone they sure look better and about the shirts it don't matter to me. I really enjoy your channel regardless of shirts or not. I would of love to see the shirt you had on. I love tiny whoops. Great review Nick. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@Pyrolassist]

Hey Nick! Great work you're doing for the FPV community. I live in Canada and the class of drones you review is a big deal to me. I, like many, have been frustrated over certain quirks that the Fatsharks have. One problem that not every reviewer talks about is the lack of a time stamp on the MOV files. I know in JB's interview with the founder of Fatshark he said the board would need a battery and clock putting the DVR into another price range. Do the 03O's have a timestamp in the DVR or are they just an improvement over bitrate?

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Thank you. The 03O dvr files are all based on a date of 6/6/2018 the time of my files are all based on AM, so it doesn't look like the file timestamps are based on reality, like the power on starters at some time of 6/6/0218

I just bought sky 02 X last month.. I am very happy with it. The DVR isn't comparable to the live view but I don't want to miss it. The reception also is very good on my big quad even on only 50mW setting. (On my small 2inch the RC and vtx antennas are to close to each other which limits range massively) Anyway, is it worth upgrading? There are nearly no ppl near me that fly fpv, so I can only buy them without testing

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Its hard hard position to be in. If you have the money and those funds aren't targeted for something else, I do think its worth it. Its such a better experience in the googles over anything I have tried.

[@vonster22]

i like all the gear in the background..

[@djs134]

I’d say slight edge in dvr to skyzones. Seeing as there are no real groups or hobby stores in my area I’m struggling to grasp how fov would relate to how large the screen would appear in the googles. I get how fov works in side by side comparisons. My recon v2s have a 55degree fov and the single screen seems absolutely massive and I quite enjoy the immersive feel. And when I read about 30-35 fov people compare it to post stamps which leads to my confusion. I mean the recons feel like The screen is even larger than my iPhone XS Max then I glance over at my mail and see the post stamp lol. I get that there probably larger than a actual post stamp but I guess without trying a pair on I’m scratching my head. Wish there was a way to rent a pair with a large deposit just so the company felt comfortable loaning them out. I’m headed to Florida in November and I’ve been desperately trying to find a hobby store that carry’s them along the way. I even contacted rdq and they said they couldn’t help me out

[@NickBurnsFPV]

There is a balance to fov and matching that to flight style. With box goggles and big fov I find it difficult to be precise and hit lines and gaps. I would expect the larger fov is more desirable to smooth cruising flight.

[@Auld_Moaner]

Skyzone for me Nick, and also leave the room as it is, no need for green screen 👍

[@ktmjay9920]

Looks good 👍

[@JerryCalverley]

Shirts are a good backdrop. I super cool lamp of some kind would look awesome in the back ground. Lol!

[@FlyingBuzzard]

I must say IF that is the DVR footage flying outside and inside , that is amazingly clear and bright.....would appear to me ( someone who has NOT used any goggle but a boxed one ) as I have been watching many vids and reviews trying to get info on which one I want to invest in......so far I believe this video sort of pushes it over the edge that the new Skyzone 030's would be the way to go.....or one could not go wrong going with the skyzone 02C's or x's and save even more money And whether or not one uses a particular goggle is a decision only the person flying can make as the rest of us can not see the true experience in the goggle . Now I know the whole module debate, I believe that boils down to what sort of flying is going to be done...IF these skyzones do this well with built in modules and we all know the Rapid-fire module was designed for what it does...IF fatshark came with a RF module at it's price I would say that may be worth it, BUT to spend $600 plus dollars and then also still have to buy a $150-$200 dollar module well that is just ridiculous in my opinion....But again depends on one wants and how and where they fly.....would appear if someone was doing something with longer range and through and around obstacles/bando's , perhaps a fatshark with a rapid fire module would be best and lets not forget that fatshark is coming out with a HD set up bite frost or something that perhaps will be able to fit ALL fatshark goggles that need a module....but I do not think analog will be replaced entirely ....and I also assume skyzone also may jump into that and update or something or an attachment that would allow HD Seems some have mentioned using some sort of docking set up that can use a rapid fire module and if so, they could as easily create a set up for HD which seems to be the current hype since DJI came out with a $1000+ HD system...just spit balling as they say.... Personally I am looking to invest in a pair of goggles to step up from box style ones...and will do so probably in the spring....but watching reviews such as yours that are honest and show the experience you as a reviewer are having, not a paid or fan boy style as so many tend to be . so with that I will subscribe and be watching to see what you decide. And maybe at some point I will let you know which ones I get and why . So Thank you for the video...helps 100% . Ed.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Thank you. At this time, I have switched to the 03O goggles. The overall opinion is the dvr is equal, better or to close to call and therefore wouldn't hurt the value or quality of the videos I have been making.

[@echobeefpv8530]

The only reason to go with the HDO's over the Skyzones may be the coming of digital FPV. When a Fat Shark compatible digital module becomes available, Skyzone won't be compatible. Using a cable to input HDMI into the port may be a future option as well, but not one that a lot of people are going to like, IMO. I own HDO's, but I think if I was buying today, these are what I'd buy. Great review !!

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Thank you. We shall see how digital develops, second go around about a year apart. :)

[@JosephDawson]

Update your rapid-fire and you get your OSD inside now and the DVR is much better with the updated and it fixed the sync issue as well. So let's compare once you get your fatshark and rapid-fire updated. Because the fatshark with all the firmware updates is much better.

[@HuntAndFishExchange]

The break up between the two seemed very similar. The sky zones seem to have a clearer, more crisp image or they show more contrast or detail. I’m thinking The sky zones win in this comparison

[@heroflying]

Nick, did you upgrade the Rapidfire firmware yet? If not, that's another potential not apples to apples comparison. You've probably got the latest firmware on the 03O's module since they're new goggles. The Rapidfire firmware has added multiple features including better signal locking. Also, allegedly Skyzone will release something to allow you to use Rapidfire, rumor has it.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

I have not updated the rapidfire firmware or dvr firmware yet. I plan to now that I have these to use. Skyzone did release two firmware updates, I applied the dvr to solve the stutter which can occur but the other seemed to be specifically for the inability to record with the goggles.

[@marekgrapiniak5361]

Great video! Here is the quick one for you... I had literally received sky02s goggles today and sadly they fit terrible on my face. I love the rest about the goggles but I have a sybstantial light leaks from the bottom of faceplate (both sides) and since my nose is fairly big its uncomfortable to wear Sky02s which is shame. I would like you to express your personal opinion whether Sky03Oled have a different form factor and shape in compare to Sky02s? I know its kinda personal as each head/face is different but just wanted to know if the mould is different somehow. I have a giant head too ;)

[@NickBurnsFPV]

The 03O shape is different, and better too. With the two different face plates I would hope there is an opportunity to fit better.

[@thads6192]

Is the IPD really 57.5 narrow or is that marketing hype (to be better than HDO “on paper”)? I currently have HDO and a narrow IPD. HDO has a fair amount of blur around edges b/c I’m outside the HDO IPD range. I’d gladly give up the RapidFire module for a better/clearer image experience when I fly. Any way to measure your goggles to verify a smaller 57.5 IPD? Thanks for all the work you put into producing this channel. 👍👍

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Wouldn't we need to disassemble to effectively measure it?

[@pierrefpv]

He Nick, nice review. Pitty I've got HDO's in the mail :-D I was just wondering what whoop are you flying at the end of this video? It looks like it flies well and has a nice camera.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Its a big of a frakenwhoop. trashcan frame, happymodel motors 1102 10000kv, gemfan triblades and the m7 camera from the mobula7.

[@pierrefpv]

@@NickBurnsFPV :-D ok thanks for your reply

[@mikajarvinen4695]

The 03O DVR is noticeably better. Definitely worth making the switch. TBH I wouldn't bother with the green screen. Seems like it would only be an unnecessary distraction, and even the shirts just made it look like you had been banished to the laundry room. Embrace the clutter - it's the natural habitat of the hobbyist, and you see the same or worse on practically every channel worth watching. You've got a good authentic vibe going with the channel, and it's easy to ruin that sort of thing by trying to get too technical with your presentation.

[@brknpropfpv3899]

Like 200 thanks for help on the goggles. I think you should fly what you enjoy. Lots of choices for goggles right now! I enjoy the random items you display All good sir😎🎮🤙🏻stay up

[@lozomex]

Go Skyzone!!! Better screen, better menu and user interface, better DVR recordings, UPDATABLE, excellent receiver sensitivity and ........they're coming out with external receiver option that attaches to goggle and is plug and play so you can run your Rapid Fire if you want. Also, customer service is great. I have three goggles and they are my faves!

[@pooljunki1]

i liked the skyzone

[@Tump2010]

I tended to find myself watching the skyzone dvr more and ignoring the fatshark dvr when I was watching it, it just looked a little better. As far as reception they were pretty even, when one was clear and the other wasn't then in a moment that was reversed so for that it was about t tie.

[@thebigrooster]

Use the Skyzones if you like them. Reception is a marginal difference. Something I wouldn't have noticed if I wasn't told about it. I like the workshop. Take the shirts down and just show off your shirts occasionally. Your "stuff" filled workshop is something many of us aspire to build up to!

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Thank you. I appreciate the input.

[@jebrc]

I love them I could never afforded them or the regular 02s for that matter but awesome thanks Nick

[@m.s.aviation7065]

happy 13th anniversary bangers!

[@aarongamata4955]

hey nick. this 03o vs the fatshark hdo or hdo2 with rapidfire or trudx module... your inputs on this? what worries me is the after-sales support. hmm. considering this also and price and features especially

[@NickBurnsFPV]

I don't have the hdo2 or the trudx module. I can only compare as I did in the video.
