The best FPV goggle in 2022 comes with compromises. ORQA FPV.ONE PILOT REVIEW

[@JoshuaBardwell]

Orqa = $570. RapidFire = $150. Antennas = $30. Battery cable = $10. Total cost is $760 for analog goggles (with HD capability if you spend ANOTHER $100+ on a module). Is that reasonable in 2022?

[@samsam18200]

Good question. I'm asking myself the same. I have Dom v3s but I want to get in on the OLED sweetness. Torn between the ORQA, the HDO2, or just waiting a bit longer for something new to come out. I'll be sticking to analog for a good while.

Great analysis Joshua. More than a year ago I made a move to DJI. I've never regretted that decision. I would like canvas mode support (which maybe I'll never see) but all in all I love the goggles and the system. It's what really got me to be passionate about FPV again.

I would happily pick up another set *of V1s* as a backup.

Thanks for the honest review. Orqa definitely disappointed us with the FOV. I guess I’ll wait for the HD Zero goggles for a couple of months and decide my HD FPV system.

"I think we've got to start this review by saying" these Porqa pilot goggles are $569 and most people will add a Rapidfire analog module ($150) to them, and 2 antennas for at least $30, so these goggles cost $749 ... FOR PLAIN OLE ANALOG! 😳 Secondly, THAT'S INSANE TO SPEND $749 for friggin' analog FPV!!! 🥴😭 Of course, you still have to outfit you're quad with a top quality VTX (~$50), a great camera (~$40), and a receiver (~$25). You're not gonna use low end gear with this category of goggle, right?! So, your 1st quad is ready to fly for approx. $865 ! That doesn't get you a quad, that just gets one you already own, ready to fly analog with these goggles... Nope, haven't even begun to bring digital FPV into the conversation! Ridiculous! 🙃😲🤯😰

My Orqa v1's have taken two vacations to Croatia in the year I've had them. First for a dead fan, and most recently to have Orqa look at noisy video input. They're on their way back to me having been declared "absolutely nothing wrong with them". If that's true, I don't understand AT ALL why the Orqa is considered a contender. I recently picked up a pair of HDO 2's and they blow my Orqa's out of the water in terms of visual clarity and lack of video noise from the VRX (I have both RapidFire and Fusion). It's not even close. When my Orqa's get back I'll post a video to show what I mean. Also, did they fix the buzzing issue when recording with an external microphone? Would you be willing to post a DVR clip using a TBS Fusion and an external microphone so we can hear it?

[@MadRC]

This is a very good review, I have only see one better 😉😂. Price has become an bit of the elephant in the room for these goggles. I was luckily I got to spend a few weeks with them and frankly they are fantastic. As you say the menus, the local audio and ability to record the HDMI is fantastic as a creator too. The IQ improvements remain questionable but the FOV is Ok overall and 99% will be happy imo. These are with out question a premium set of goggles with premium features but they are not an upgrade for current users and they remain a giggle for people who are currently not using O4X or HDO2s. The real issue with the Pilots and is the pricing and how that’s perceived, there has just been some complains over the review where in AU they said they are over $1000 au that does not quite align with other pricing however the fact remains these goggles are a expensive purchase and you will need to spend more after the main outlay in many cases and this is putting people off. Many people they may not be upgrading from goggles that has a rapidfire or a quality external module so it’s additional cost to them. Then you have the connect module, this IMO should be standard part of the product but no it’s an additional $65+ on the price. In the end users can be spending $200 on top of the cost of the goggles to get a premium setup. And before it’s said yes I know Fat Shark don’t include module but Fat Shark should not be the benchmark here. Skyzone should be. I know Orqas costs and pricing will be higher being an European manufacture and having to fund their support ect but they need to do something here with some of this. My $150 Radio has WiFi, as does my $12 ELRS receiver. so why is is costing $65+ for the Orqas as an extra. I loved the goggles tbh but I could just not justify the additional £200 in the U.K. over the 04X. I would loved to have had those premium features but they were not worth $ £200 to me personally. Great review, great product. But a hard sell.

Also, I set my Orqas up for HDZero and struggled to find a low-profile HDMI cable. I also did not like the stock strap and found the Ethos fits, however, I spoke to Steele at Ethos and apparently there was a recent design change and they shortened the attachment point. Depending on which rev Ethos strap you get it could fit, maybe not. Either way, Steele made this right and is sending me an older strap that will fit.

Why is it never mentioned in any review that the 04X and ORQA V2 has MUUUCH BETTER screen than HDO2? The FatShark is not as crisp and has weird noisy and reddish screen compared the Skyzone and ORQA. I have all three in my hand for a review and I can't believe anyone who has ever tried the other two flasghip goggles would prefer Fatshark. The Skyzone 04X and ORQA V2 screen has almost the same image quality. It's hard to see any difference. 04X has bigger FOV without any distorsion so in my opinion the Skyzone has the best goggles if you want the BEST image. In addition the light emitted by the ORQA V2 display illuminates parts of the optics which bothers me because It's like when you looking into a tube.

⚠️ QUESTION .. HDMI ONLY GOGGLES. (No RF or analog anything required) Hi Joshua and KZbin world. I am NOT a legit FPV pilot. I am more of DJI camera drone hobbyist. (Air 2s and Mavic 2 zoom and soon a Mavic-3) I do have a DJI FPV Racer drone and Goggles v2. The dilemma is…. I want to use the Goggles v2 with the Mavic drones but they have locked out that feature and probably do not plan on development. I have the DJI Goggles RE and used to use them and was very happy with the performance and picture. (bound to the Mavic-2 and with the Air-2s using both the original Smart Controller and now the RC-Pro to feed HDMI out from th controller to the micro HDMI input on the Goggles RE. Problem - I have a pretty severe form of spondyloarthritis (ankylosing spondylitis) which has fused my entire spine. I just cannot tolerate the weight of the Goggles RE but CAN easily handle the Goggles v2. As a “workaround”, I tried taking the HDMI output of the smart controller (and RC-Pro) and sent through an HDMI to A/V converter and fed that signal through the 3.5mm A/V input on the goggles. The picture quality was horrible ! And the aspect ratio all messed up. So.. I am thinking of going with a lightweight set of goggles fed directly from the HDMI output of either smart controller. What would you recommend? I do not need analog at all. I don’t need any receivers or anything on the RF side of things either. I just want the best quality picture as I can achieve at a low weight. (While cost is not terribly important at this point… i WOULD like to stay below $700 or so.) Any recommendations? THANK YOU !!! (and thanks to you / Ken Heron / Originaldobo for getting me somewhat into a hobby that has made me incredibly happy and frees me from my decrepit and failing body. LOL )

I can't find what the FOV of DJI av in is. So when I'm using my Fusion via BDI into the Av in, the FOV is much smaller than Digital. What is that FOV? is that 40 degrees? if I scale the AV in to 70% would that be close to Orqa FOV ?

[@neale3]

Scale down to 10% so you can barely read the osd then it's the same

[@KOrnhOliO1]

The FOV of the DJI goggles is 54%. You can adjust it down, by 10% increments, to 90%, 80%, etc. The thing that is not equal, is the VAST SIZE of the screens in the DJI goggles VS. the tiny little screens of the Porqa's. The DJI's are very immersive, where the Porqa goggles are really tiny, and not nearly as immersive. Hard to compare FOV. The other commenter is not totally correct, but is close, because the screens on the DJI would have to be super small to give you a similar SCREEN SIZE to the Porqa goggles. The BIG ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM is that by the time you get the Porqa goggles to where they can actually fly analog, you are $569 + $120 - 150 for an analog module most use + about $30 for two antennas = $719 to $749, and you still don't have a battery to run the Porqa goggles! DJI comes with everything you need to fly for $569 ... antennas and a battery. Then just add a Caddx Vista for $139 and up, add that to an existing quad, and you are in the air! :) Such a better value, because for that amount, you also get the very best image quality FPV has ever seen - by a wide margin! Example: I took a 2.5" quad I have that is DJI digital equipped. I flew it in a park 3 minutes from my house. It probably has 100+ oak trees to fly through, around, over, etc. In analog, I simply fly around the tree trunks. Fun as hell, because every single pass can be a different route! DJI digital opened up an entirely new aspect! I can now fly about 20 feet up, through the MIDDLE of the trees canopy! I can see every single tiny little scraggle of ghost branches I never would have even attempted with analog. In fact, there are several "TAKE DOWN" lower hanging scraggle ghost branches that if you don't know where they are, will take you down in an instant with analog - you simply can't see them coming up on you in time! I have crashed so many times I can't count on these several ghost branches that come down to about 6 - 7 feet from the ground. With digital, these stand out like a soar thumb, and I can see them far ahead of hitting them. In fact, when flying through the 20' up canopy of small branches, I can see the smallest of the tiny scraggle - the 1/8" thick scraggle, and fly right between them, slowly maneuvering right through a tiny hole about 1' x 1' and out the other side - without crashing or even hitting a single branch! It's exhilarating! Imagine exploring a cave, coming across a passageway that is barely big enough to squeeze through, and making it through to the other side and being amazed you made it! It's Hella Co0ol! =(:^)-

@@JoshuaBardwell And this Rapidfire would go directly on the goggles? Also, does the ImmersionRC RapidFire module make the goggles incompatible with a TBS Unify Pro32 HV?

@@ivanjelusic1730 Nice catch! I only thought Nick Burns since he uses his phone to capture ambient audio and this seems like it would be a big workflow improvement for him. I quess at the time JB was not using as many cameras/dedicated audio recorder as he does now.

Great review - its a pity you could not include FPV.Connect because that's a really differentiating capability. Sharing, streaming DVR in real time, I don't see me being able to do that with a Skyzone or Fatshark.

[@JoshuaBardwell]

That's true, but as it's a $79 add-on, I felt ok just mentioning the capabilities and not including it in the review.

There came a point there was a goggle war where around the corner of every month there was someone trying to beat the last goggle released. Feels like it's been 6 months before a Google was announced. Strange

[@KOrnhOliO1]

Not really. It's because analog's days are numbered. Manufacturers don't want to spend all of the R & D, manufacturing, and testing money on a product that is on it's way out. You really think analog will survive another 2 years? If it does, there won't be hardly any new products coming out for analog. I really don't think we'll see any, or almost no more analog goggles come to market. Not unless they are really a low price.

[@odyss160]

@@KOrnhOliO1 alright but let's say for an example I'm super surprised that skyzone hasn't tried to come out with a goggle for hdzero since skyzone was literally killing it against other market price points and competitors. Allthey need is good goggles with built in HD reciever.

[@KOrnhOliO1]

@@odyss160 Question is, with HDZero saying they will come out with their own HDZero built in goggle later this year, would they license SkyZone to come out with a goggle to compete with their own soon to be available HD goggle? I doubt they would welcome the competition to something that will be the 1st HDZero built in goggle.

[@imu4869]

Thanks for the video, ive been considering the new Orqa goggles, do you know if the Foxxer Wildfire mod will fit, without a 3dprinted frame? this is the mod that i have on hand, if it needs a new frame to fit in the goggle bay, then thats a easy fix ig.

[@JoshuaBardwell]

It should fit, as the bay is quite accommodating, but you need a custom cover.

[@ezalku]

thanks for the review , i was waiting for the distortion image is it from gopro or not, sadly it's not from gopro,and orqa next time you need to share some data before the release date ,and fire the term that selecting lower fov:) anyway keep up the good work orqa ,for digital system you need to stay away from hdzero cus it's f###ed up and reaching there limits, so either you crack dji or crack dji otherwise it won't work and it's easy to crack dji just start a company in china let them copying dji system and you'll have the hardware and software to make whatever you want, lol that was long

[@KOrnhOliO1]

@@_Brando_69 Yeah, but just like Blunty said in today's FPV news segment, the DJI goggles latency is highly over blown. Your brain is very powerful!!! Your mind play's tricks on you, making you "think" you feel more latency, because you know there is more there because you know you are flying DJI. I'll bet you $50 that if there were a way to give you a blind test of the latency of DJI goggles vs. the latency of analog, you wouldn't be able to accurately tell the difference. Just look at JB's video with Stingy, a pro pilot, and neither JB nor Stingy could tell the difference in latency between 50hz and 500hz latency.

Much like the world's best floppy drive, it's still niche. Divimath is still garbage, DJI will guide Russian missiles onto your head and all of the OS FPV solutions are either janky wifi or dead. Guess it's up to us to build the next gen FPV ASIC?

And they'd probably sell for $399 if made in China, maybe even less! It's funny that when the DJI goggles came out, everyone was saying oh, "they're way too expensive!" ... Now, fast forward to today, and these same GOOF BALLS that said DJI googles are too much, are thinking about buying Porqa's, Skyzone's, or HDO2's!
