On goggles...

I have had Fatshark HD2's, HD3's, and HDO's and the original Aomway Commanders.


The HD3's I sold to one FPV buddy not on DRP Forum so I can't tag him, the HD2's are now with [USER=965]@Futuramille[/USER], and I am keeping the HDO's as my new backups.

The original (and still best model of Aomway's) the Commanders, [USER=2025]@rtkDarling[/USER] is rocking those now.

I am awaiting my new Orqa FPV.One that will be my new daily flyer.


I think you have a number of great choices at this time, so many new things have hit the market, and turned this part especially, on its ear.


DJI came out with something groundbreaking, it is proprietary, and has some big issues, so I wouldn't buy it even if I had the money for it  Nonetheless it is helping to cause prices to tumble on new and used alike.  Good deals are out there to be had.


Fatshark has released ByteFrost, and others will follow now.  This is another thing helping to usher in new top of the line, making TODAYS top of the line ever cheaper... GREAT DEAL!


The Orqa FPV.One is dropping to original backers on Kickstarter, and for sale on pre-order at GetFPV and other retailers around the world.  Its specs should make it the best "open source" option that is a current reality, and that is the third leg causing a tumble in what you can get for your money today.


While the Skyzone 03O (OLED version) is a hair nicer picture than the HDO's, they don't save you much (HDO's are down to $449), and they don't have Fatsharks LEGENDARY customer service and (often free) repair services.


When it comes to your goggles, I would suggest you get the very best you can possibly afford with an eye towards versatility in the hobby.  If you want to get the hot new video RX, or run something with 2.4G video, you can't do that with the Skyzone models.  Until the Orqa's actually land, Fatshark is STILL the best, industry leaders by far (75+% of the world market), and legendary versatility and customer service/repair.  Even after the Orqa's land, at $650, I think Fatshark will still be the leader for the foreseeable future.
