Skyzone SKY03O

[@AgustinMolini]

Really happy Fatshark is being forced to innovate hard now thanks to DJI. Along with everyone else having to step up their game as well.

[@Kabab]

Skyzone SKYO30: bit.ly/2Lho4gV The SKYO3S version has an LCD screen, not OLED Summary: These goggles easily give you the very best viewing experience of any FPV goggle I've ever tried. The facial fit of them tends to be a little better than others and there are two different size faceplates included. With thick foam, you will get some blurring around the edges of the screen but with thin or no foam the view is gloriously sharp from corner to corner. The screen resolution, contrast, color, brightness and response are all excellent. There is zero ghosting, plenty of resolution, spectacular contrast and color, and the highest level brightness will make your eyes hurt. Other features are; a great on/off button, super powerful fan with speed control, easy access to ports and SD card and a search function that works quite well. The goggles also double as an SD card reader so you don't need to fiddle with the SD card however the DVR isn't any better or worse than Fatsharks. The one main issue with these goggles is the receiver. It's just not as good as Rapidfire in regular mode or any other high end receiver in regular mode. Reception is similarly great but there are noticeably more glitches and blips in the video feed. I'm nitpicking here but it's at least an annoyance for me. Otherwise, this is easily the very best goggle on the market currently and I would not recommend anyone spend more than ~$150 on any other goggle product. The in between priced $150-400 products are just not worth it when you see how glorious the screen is on these. bit.ly/2Lho4gV Orca goggles still have an unknown release date... ▼Join my FB group for more discussion: Kabab FPV facebook.com/groups/379155946182689/ ▼Banggood is having another promotion.

[@kflaps1]

my thoughts exactly but the internal module in my sky02cs is quite decent.

[@SmoothCruizer37]

Bob, add a pogoda on with a cloverleaf on the other side, i think the patch slows the diversity processing down (switching)

Drone mesh compared the experience to DJI as well. Now that you've weighed in on these, I have to believe that they are that good. Always worried about other reviewers over hyping to pad their pockets. Thx for keeping it real. 🤘😁👍

[@ruftime]

I feel your frustration with Fatshark’s lack of innovation Bob! However, I’ve owned dominator v3 from release and logged 1500 + hrs....still working great and I know if I did have a problem, they would fix them in a timely manner. Until the DJI release, no one has made any significant advances:-(

[@jackal9b]

F**k I love it when you get on a rant 🤣😂😅😄🤣!! 👍🏼

[@3eggerfpv397]

Love my Skyzone 02S goggles!! I took me awhile to get use to a 30 degree FOV, but I did! The image quality on the 02’s are fantastic as well, sure, they’re not OLED, but they’re outstanding for a goggle costing under $300! I’ve looked through fellow pilots FS with the fancy modules, and the Skyzones beats them IMO. Many of your followers, sounds like a cult, sorry, many of your readers, may not afford $400, even $200, enter in the SJRG01 a binocular goggle, that is a true dual screen with diversity, DVR, 50 degree FOV, and can be external powered with the supplied cord. The downside, low resolution, but the FOV makes up for it, and @$80 dollars, can’t be beat for that type of goggle, and are made by Skyzone!

[@licensetodrive9930]

I think when people try OLED goggles and say it has a better screen refresh rate, what they're talking about is that OLED pixels change virtually instantly, whilst LCD pixels take a quick, but measurable amount of time to change. You can turn an LED on/off at hundreds of thousands of times a second, an LCD element can't turn on/off nearly that fast. The thing with the balance plug powering the Fat Shark fan is dire, I've had to replace the plug on my original battery 2 times now, they could've easily solved it with spring contacts between the faceplate & goggle body.

[@Kabab]

It's the contrast ratio and brightness that's the big upgrade here. It looks like almost infinite contrast ratio! Like a modern cell phone screen...

[@JamesNot007]

I had same blurry edge problem with my sky03. I ripped off the foam and replaced it with 3mm foam which I got from local hobby store. Just cut it to shape myself and its all good now. I also have tried HDO's and I share your opinion about the sceens not being that good. I even think that my sky03 picture is higher quality than the HDO picture.

[@mongofpv3744]

For one moment i thought i was watching louis rossmann

[@KrotowX]

Bob and Louis share similar traits indeed. Including arguing against lousy manufacturers who can't do their products right.

[@ariafpv]

@@KrotowX thats something that no one will ever understand! Companys should just get feedback from their customers, they could watch 1 video from a youtuber or read forums and that doesnt take more than 1h and boom they would have a finished and innovative product but no almost nobody does this. But I think Skyzone could ve also done it even better and finally kill fatshark

[@KrotowX]

@@ariafpv That is. Many existing FPV google models in both ends of price scale would shine if manufacturers would pay more attention to usability. That doesn't cost much: to read main FPV forums about which features and in which way people expect to see and what they consider comfortable in use. There are even enough info about how these features must work. And even better if google manufacturers are pilots themselves - then they may have knowledge about what must be updated from first hands. Didn't seen Skyzone SKY03O in live yet. Though had to try older SKY02X IRL and these was quite nice and with proper autoscan indication. I believe that SKY03O with OLED screens should be even better. Would like to see power switch and receiver module bay for Rapidfire, True-D, Realacc RX5808 receivers etc. instead of built-in receivers.

[@whiffles]

The best thing about the Topsky F7X is the battery and the charger. The first battery I grabbed to plug into these was the F7X battery. I see you've done the same.

The Reception is great on my Skyzone 03Os Is freakin AWESOME! Image quality is second to none. Yes, I've tried the Fat Shark HDO.

[@Kabab]

Yeah the image is fantastic. Reception not so fantastic but definitely not bad by any standard

[@SneakyB]

Speaking of receivers, will you be reviewing TBS fusion?

[@3eggerfpv397]

Just pulled the trigger on these goggles! Coming from the SZ 02S, which is 16 x 9 display, and for me I got use to that 16 x 9, but I'd rather see more vertically than horizontally. Why? Because, it allows me to not have to pitch back, as soon, to see the top of the object I'm flying over. Sure, you can add more uptilt to remedy that with a 16 x 9, but with a 4:3 display you have more latitude vertically.

[@BaldybynatureFpv]

So glad you said that about the HDO goggles. I bought them and barely noticed a difference over my other Fatsharks. The module thing is why I've never went with Skyzones, wish they would give that option.

[@RcReviewsLt]

FS just say, "we use well tested parts only" =) Button is not one of them, wire to fan (fan is removable from goggles with faceplate), can't be use with simple plug. No normal bec's and power supply. No normal DVR. No wider optic move, no brighten/colorful/more res screens. Even canopy color change is a several year's plan.

[@cosmicfpv6497]

Just an FYI: I spoke with John at Skyzone and they are going to introduce an adapter to allow use of RapidFire with these goggles. They are supposedly going into production next month :)

[@Kabab]

I've heard this from one other person too. That would truly be a gift. What's his contact? Can I talk to him about it please? These goggles are truly a miracle.

[@philthayer4087]

When I first put on the HDO's coming from HD3's I said WOW! Same as when I tried the new Skyzone OLED's compared to HDO's. These Skyzone OLED's with a Cadex Ratel is stunning!

[@BrianMikasa]

I use eachine 800D's and was stoked to try fat sharks. When I got a chance, I tried some dominator V3's and HDOs. I was so surprised how little of a difference there was between the two, and also how it wasn't some big jump up from the box goggle experience.

[@joshkertcher]

Love the time comparison never even thought about how little has changed, I’ll stick with dom v3 for a while for module support

Bob, very well said about FS doing nothing about their products. just ordered my sky03o today, an perhaps permanently replace my HD3. thanks for this review. cheers 👍

[@dividingbyzerofpv6748]

Watching people make DockKing type 5v regulated module holders and outputting analog into their DJI goggles is an interesting trend.

[@dklassen]

I feel the same way. Take the IPD for example. Most goggles including FS go down to 59mm. I need 57 or 58mm. Guess what, Skyzone just did it. These are my next googles.

[@cheolhokim4455]

Great helps to choose the right one for the starter like me. Ordered through Banggood just before....

[@steelrainfpv3383]

I'm still very optimistic and hopeful for the drop of the ORQA goggles set to be released at the end of this month to early next month Bob, until then I'll just stick with my HD3's with the Rapidfire module.

[@DerKrawallkeks]

I have a question, can you set these goggles to receive 2 different channels on the right and left eye? (For a 3D setup. I know it was possible on the sky02 goggles.)

[@Kabab]

I believe you should be able to on these goggles. That skyzone we're the first to implement that in the market as far as I know

[@philthayer4087]

Love the screens...I agree its better than HDO. Also DVR is a noticeable improvement. I get leakage on sides due to narrow skull. Fatsharks fit me better. Going to 3D print side plates to bring in the sides .3"

[@5zero7RC]

I totally agree with you on the lens being too small! I have the same issue. My eyes are too far back compared to my nose/forehead that in most goggles, the small lens is a bottleneck. I even had a similar issue with the Fat Shark Scouts. I was looking through the beveled edge of the lens to see the top and bottom of the screen ( even without the foam at all ). I now have the DJI FPV goggles and even with them, I need to remove the foam from my forehead area in order to get most of the screen in focus. So frustrating. :(

[@ehunter2010ed]

Why would you get the DJI goggles?? I think most should hold off on a big purchase unless you got em for free?? I'm 100% sure the frostbyte will be far superior & less bulky!! Kinda like Kababb said he doesnt see much of a difference between these goggles and the dji system. Maybe orca may come out with something like frostbyte or dji too!! HDO's with a good 1200tvl cam look pretty damn gorgeous IMO!!

[@5zero7RC]

@@ehunter2010ed Funny you should ask :) I wrote this earlier today.... DJI FPV - Why it is the right choice for me but not the right choice for you. I know, I know, you are all sick and tired of hearing about the DJI HD FPV system by now, but I wanted to explain why it was the right choice for me, and why it is probably not the right choice for you. Back in January 2017 I saw some FPV videos on KZbin and I knew I had to try it. However I was not sure how well it would work so like most people I started with some of the cheaper options. I bought a pair of box goggles and the Turnigy Evolution radio. My thought was that if I didn’t like FPV, I would not be out a ton of money and if I did like it I would upgrade the radio and goggles right away. So it turned out that I really really liked FPV and my “beginner” setup worked just fine. I really liked the form factor of the radio and the only real down side is that a 2.4ghz radio does not have great range. And for the goggles, I tried a few others but could never find any that worked better for me. Sure the box goggles were huge and looked funny, but the picture was big, bright, and in focus. I tried some FatShark Dominators and HDO’s and neither of them fit my face. My IPD is too low and the images would not align. I also tried some Scouts when they came out but had other issues with those fitting my face. So I gave up and stuck with my box goggles. Another thing that sets me apart from most others in this hobby is the fact that I only have one working drone. I started with a Diatone Tyrant S, then a year later upgraded to a Chameleon TI and not long after I killed a few components in the Tyrant and it was not worth fixing. So that leaves me with one 5” quad that I fly and only one to add the DJI Air Unit too. So you can see from my history that I have not invested heavily in goggles (like Fat Shark HDOs + rapid-fire ) or radio gear ( like Crossfire ) or drones and I was looking for something that would give me a little more range. So when contemplating what to do I was looking at spending a lot of money on upgrades that would probably not even fit my face very well (or take a chance with Orcas) and that was when DJI came out with their new HD FPV gear. After a few weeks of research I finally decided to dive in and give them a shot and I am very happy I did. There are a few other things that went into my decision that would probably stop someone else from enjoying the DJI system as much as I have. One of those is that I don’t handle static in the analog system very well. I know many of you can fly through some pretty high levels of static but for me I tend to disarm pretty quickly. The other thing is that I fly alone the vast majority of the time. Like I might fly with one or two other people 3-4 times a year at most. That means I don’t ever have someone going on a “ride along” in their goggles and I don’t worry about interfering with others. Though the interference issue can be easily mitigated if necessary. Oh, and one more thing. I barely use the betaflight OSD at all. Basically just the flight timer. I like the way the voltage OSD of my camera looks and works better that the betaflight version ( I like seeing the LIVE voltage when I land, not the summary screen ). Everything else is pretty much unnecessary for me and more distracting than useful. And these two features work just fine in the DJI FPV system. So, for all the reasons I listed, the DJI HD FPV system works really well for me and if you are an average FPV pilot, I am fairly sure there will be many reasons why it would be a very difficult “upgrade” to make. At this point I have not flown very many packs with the new system but I can say that I really do like it. The goggles don’t fit perfectly but I was able to modify the foam to fit my face well enough and shrink the screens down to avoid the blurry sides for the most part. But the HD FPV feed is totally worth it to me and I just can’t see myself going back now that I have tried them. Hopefully DJI does get some competition soon and it would be great if that pushed all the companies to innovate even more. I can’t wait to see what is coming next.

One of my favorite fatshark rants to date & probably one of my most favorite rants of yours 😁 It is fascinating how a company has probably heard the saying " evolve or die" and has somehow found a way to do as little evolving as possible and still survive. Makes me glad I bought my Fatsharks second hand, so they've never received money directly from me.

[@Kabab]

Thankfully I think their market share is dying quickly now that there are definitely better product options.

[@fpvflyriding]

Maybe better colors on the screens but my O2C's have better colors on the plastic! I gotta try the no foam before I try a replacement soft foam since I currently have the soft foam doubled on top of the other foam cause it fits my face better with no light leak but keeps the eyes away from the screens & the corners are blurred too bad. Don't forget, Fatshark has digital coming soon.

[@marcusmckay8120]

Patiently waiting on the Orqa for just 2 things 1) the module bay 2)the larger IPD for my face. I'm just hoping they don't let me down but this is a close second if only it had a module bay ... I'm just hating on FS as they need to improve and as you say just sitting on it.

[@brevbomb]

:) I'm very impressed in the amount of work you make in your videos. Your opinions are very spot on and thought through! Always looking forward to your vids. Is the blurry edges a result of a too narrow IPD? I loved the JB interview with Greg French about the absence of a power button on the fat sharks. They could not add such a big change. It could make the goggles not work correctly any more....

[@5zero7RC]

In my experience, there are a number of things that can cause blurry edges. And IPD that does not adjust enough for your yes is one of them. The other is trying to look through the edges of the lenses. In some goggles if you need to look through the very edge of the lens, you can sort of look through it but the image gets distorted. If the lens were larger, it would work for more people. If the image gets better when you remove the foam and get your eyeball right up next to the lens, then the small lens is the issue.

[@JohnFHendry]

2:42 I agree 99.99%. I had the DOM HD v1 first that Fatshark upgraded to the HDv2 for free because the first pair (first batch) had the 3D reversed and I had to wait on getting the second pair and they had had the same 3D reversed driver issue so had to wait again... 3rd pair were corrected and had a great picture and worked with my eyes really well especially after new face-plate came out to replace the eye cups so I sent them in for the $30 DVR upgrade and got them back with a firmware issue that needed to be returned again and Fatshark stepped in and just replaced them with the DOM HDv2... (RMRC was great BTW paying shipping both ways and Fatshark paid return shipping out of the $30 paid for DVR upgrade as well as direct shipping from the factory so something to think about with other brands) But the HDv1 had a 45 degree FOV and the HDv2 has a 50 degree FOV which is way bigger than a 35 degree FOV.... and since my eyes like the larger FOV I would never go smaller as with 800> TVL cams the picture can be really good... the $12.00 800 TVL 25mw LS AIO which appears to be an Eachine EF-02 AIO 800TVL 25mw clone with a dipole antenna (lookout has reverse polarity) has a great picture. A better picture IN GOOD LIGHTING than the Predator v2 IMO as *I can't stand the shimmer* which is worse that what I see online so may be a compatibility issue with my goggles early version firmware but I'm not going to mess with it as it works so well with CCD cams and non-shimmering newer CMOS cams. Peoples eyes vary greatly and I'd like 55 degrees or more to where I just start to get blurred edges as that's how real eyeballs work. A higher FOV cam works better with a higher FOV screen I've found at least for my eyes. I tried the early 25 degree FOV 320 x 240 LCD low cost Spektrum FS google for a few minutes at a Hobby store and they made me feel claustrophobic;-) Without a doubt the 35 degree FOV on the SKY 030 is suited to majority rule... what works best with most people's eyes. Albert Kim says he has some minor blurring but most people seem to have clear edges for the most part and like the higher resolution over the HDOs so looks like a winner... for most people. I'm going to wait it out for the next 50+ degree FOV goggle FatShark comes out with unless someone does it first...hint;-) Just glad I have the HD2''s to hold me over like you said...

What battery pack are you using on the goggles? I'd like to get one like that but I don't know what power jack size the 030 goggles use or what will work for powering them.

I am waiting for your motif monument chinese case that you purchased. been waiting for a week now. I saw your comment on taboa. still waiting on that buddy.

[@Kabab]

lol it's coming. I gotta wait for a stupid bios update kit from AMD because frikin Asus ships their motherboards with the original firmware they ever made for them. 3700x in't supported without the bios update and no way to update without a compatible CPU

[@ErgoFPV]

Thank you for the review, Bob. Are you running Micro Eagle cameras in 4:3 mode with these goggles? If so, does the FOV reduction bother you compared to 16:9 that is native for the sensor?

[@Kabab]

I always run my FPV cam's in 4:3 regardless of the goggle screen aspect. 16:9 on 16:9 screen is actually worse for me. I don't fully understand why even but I think it has to do with things just looking a lot farther than they are when the horizontal FOV on the camera is a lot wider than the vertical. If we could turn the screen and camera on its side and get that wider horizontal view on the vertical, now that would be something awesome.

[@ErgoFPV]

​@@Kabab Turning the image on its side sounds too innovative for the industry to even think about if you ask me 🤣 I think I know what you mean about the aspect ratio. It's like at 170 degrees FOV in 16:9 the sides of the image are probably of no interest for you as a pilot. Those areas are out of immediate reach of the quad when it is in motion and there's no way anything there can affect you flying by because it is too far away. Like those past light cones in special relativity that determine what can and what cannot influence you at the present. Interesting, I will definitely try that.

So... about November Fatshark finally releases a goggle with these screens and a power switch and a fully functional hdmi port.

[@JT-jy2sy]

Thanks for comments on fatshark. Totally agree!. We know what you should have.

[@gunterb]

I wonder about the difference with the skyzone 02’s, is it worth the upgrade? The on/off button is one of the factors that convinced me to go for those, but then again, it being a push button rather than a switch kind of almost defeats the purpose and I find myself just unplugging 9 times out of 10 because that way at least I’m sure I turned them off. (They only beep when turning on, not when turning off)

[@Kabab]

mmmmm wait a little longer. see what comes out...

[@MindRiderFPV]

I don’t see how they are better than a pair of HDOs pretty much at the same price, minus the RF module? To each its own.

[@Kabab]

If you look at the screens side by side you'll be absolutely shocked how much better the Skyzone is. I would put the Skyzone in the same category as the DJI stuff. The HDO is really not much if at all better than their five+ year old Dom v2

[@woopweep9605]

Those look like 1404 Amax innos. I’m still on Sky02 with no issues..... but whatever, let’s hear about those motors 😉

[@Kabab]

coming probably a week or two

[@woopweep9605]

KababFPV oh, I’m sure. I like the tease, I’m running the 1106 on a build rn, after loosing my 1103 build. I’m Pretty sure Amax makes the best micro motors at the moment

[@jackjohnson5024]

Hi, I have just gotten these goggles. They are very good but I kind of have the same issue as you with the leather being to thick as when I wear it the edges of the screens are blurry so it hurts my eyes a bit. What did you use to replace the leather? The velcro doesn't feel that good on my skin. Thanks.

[@Kabab]

I haven't tried to improve it

[@InvertFPV]

Why didn't you buy the terminator edition hd2s? Same epic screens everything else is upgraded to hdo level. I love mine, I want as much fov as possible.

[@sten6537]

Hi, you removed the plastic screens that used to sit in front of the lenses. Why did you do this?

[@slidog8888]

Hi kabab I was wondering what your opinion on whether i should go with dji digital or get a pair of skyzone 03O. Im coming from a pair off FS attitude v2s which i have flown for last 5 years. I fly mostly quads and some fixed wing. How close is the skyzones to the dji system? what do you reckon? I also currently use a ground station so could use av in on smaller quads with DJI's system

[@Kabab]

I would wait to see what the Orqa are about first.

[@xyic0re714]

@@Kabab I think waiting is never a bad idea, however there is still the point that one is the same of feed that we know the behavior of (analog) and the other is without a doubt a significant improvement visual improvement over this analog feed. Beautiful screens are one thing, but so too is the quality of the picture that you feed into them. I do believe that digital still has significant room for improvement, and so too does the DJI system, but digital is so beautiful.

[@CookeCraft]

I'm loving your content 😊

[@FabMroFpv]

Love Skyzone brand, I use the sky02 from one year now and never had problem, maybe the confort on your face isn't as good as fatshark but for the price .. On the other hand the design is a bit ugly (for the SKYO30) but we don't care ^^ Thanks for the review =)

[@ZSHREDPJ]

@kababfpv I just got a new set of 03O’s and I noticed they have glass diopter inserts inserted in front of the lenses out of the box. Am i supposed to slide these out prior to use or are they to remain in place? It seems you removed them as i dont see them in your goggle lenses. Any help appreciated thanks!

[@Kabab]

They're sort of peotectors if you want to use them. I can't because my lashes hit them

[@yannickg6904]

Still using my second hand HD2s, I could use a rapidfire though.

[@RR123]

I'm guessing Orqa will be similar, but higher res... :)

[@frasersteen]

Do they still have the built in head tracker and 3d capabilities? Always wanted to try 3d FPV and the head tracker could be handy for fixed wing.

[@Kabab]

Oh I forgot I don't think they do 3d? Maybe. But yes they have the tracker

[@frasersteen]

@@Kabab With the old ones you could rig up 2 cameras and 2 vtxs and have a channel for each eye.

[@SueMyChin]

At the very least, we now have genuine competition in this FPV goggle market and it can only be a good thing. Just lacking a module bay.

[@licensetodrive9930]

Further comparing timeframes of progress, our goggle optics still don't have the clarity of video glasses made 20 years ago by Sony & Olympus that use freeform prism lenses (still waiting for a goggle manufacturer to use them). For anyone wondering what I'm talking about, look how close you have to be to Fat Shark goggles to see the screens clearly compared to the freeform prism lenses of 20 year old Olympus glasses kzbin.info/www/bejne/jnmUiJ1vYpqniaM

[@bladerunner30]

Skyzone 03o or spend twice as much and buy DJI fpv system? I'm in doubt, and any advice will be appreciated.

[@Kabab]

I wouldn't go with the DJI system just yet. At least not this version of it. Analog is just too versatile to give up right now. Had DJI included the ability to view analog too it would be a slam dunk recommendation. But they didn't so it's not unfortunately

[@bladerunner30]

@@Kabab thank you man!

[@nicklessticksfpv]

Planning on buying a pair of goggles and hesitate a lot between these and hdo. Coming from dominator v1 and true D, want to know how the reception is compair to a true D 3.5? cause I'm not planning to buy a rapid fire.

[@Kabab]

If you're planning on the HD0, don't buy anything. Just wait for the Orqa or wait till the next wave after.

[@nicklessticksfpv]

@@Kabab really need a new pair cause mine are broken, I do fly with only one screen out of two. So, probably gonna buy skyzone 03O, as for the reception goes I only know how true d's perform. And looks like it perform kind the same.

[@nicklessticksfpv]

And orca's will not be in my budget. 03O are cheaper than hdo. That's a plus too.

[@macelius]

I had to put a thin pad on my EV200Ds to see the whole screen and clearly.

[@jb-fpv7384]

How would you compare the built in receiver of this to the furious TrueD 3.8 version which i am using on my HD2? Rapid fire is just too expensive. Would this be comparable to the True D 3.8?

[@Kabab]

True D 3.8 is similar to Rapidfire in regular mode. Both have a pretty solid signal. The Skyzone isn't bad at all. It just has a slightly higher blip and flash rate than the other good modules.

[@jb-fpv7384]

@@Kabab Flying behind some trees and some obstacles is the blip distracting or good enough if you dont have to compare it would not be a problem. I use HD2 and TrueD 3.8; looking into this except for the built in RX which might be the turn off if my true D 3.8 is much better. I hate struggling with distracting video in flight.

i have the Skyzone V1S . not the V1. i was shocked when i tried HD3s, Dom v3s, nd even HDOs. The screens are 16:9 but they are huge and the resolution and color are at least as good as HDOs. I dont think ill ever buy fat sharks. Im so glad i didnt buy Dom V3s. huge difference. i try to to tell people about the orange skyzone V1"S". they come with eye cups but are very comfortable and there is other faceplate peices you can buy. the only real bad thing is they dont have a fan.
