 What's up guys welcome rotor riot and welcome back to learn to FPV today. We're gonna talk about goggles So goggles can be a really big investment And they're also one of the more important key items that you're gonna need when you're flying So when trying to decide on a set of goggles Aside from the obvious factor, which is gonna be the cost a couple of other important things to look into our the aspect ratio So almost every goggle, I think I think every goggle is either gonna be four by three or sixteen by nine So if you're not sure what that means Four by three is more square. It's kind of like your old tube style TV and 16 by nine is like your modern, you know, computer monitor. It's more of a rectangle so I Wouldn't say one is better than the other but some people are just gonna have a preference for having a wider screen Some people are gonna like the more square screen The other important thing to think about as far as aspect ratio is you really need to match The aspect ratio of the goggles with the camera that you're using if you use Mismatched aspect ratio it can distort the image and it's just not gonna look right So if you go with the 16 by 9 goggle make sure you get a 16 by 9 camera same thing for 4 by 3 The other main factor to think about is the receiver that's in the goggles So it's either gonna be something you can remove and replace and upgrade or it's just gonna be built in and you can't change it So in most cases a goggle that is able to take an external module and be able to upgrade it It's usually gonna be a more expensive option But it's also gonna give you better performance and as new technologies emerge and receivers get better You won't have to rebuy the goggles. You can just buy a new module and upgrade it So the last thing to take into account is the field of view Field of view is essentially how big the screen is gonna appear to you So it's not necessarily always going to be best to just have the biggest field of view Sometimes a big field of view can be too big So if if you notice that you're having to move your eyes around inside the goggle to see everything That can make it a little difficult to focus on what you're trying to see while you're flying But it's gonna depend on personal preference and what you like but it's just definitely something to think about and Really the the best thing you could possibly do is to try the goggles out because it's gonna really depend on your face Your eyes your preferences Not everyone's gonna have the opportunity to go to a hobby shop that has display goggles or go to a race and befriend people and see If you can look through their goggles, but if you do have the opportunity I highly recommend Give them a try and see what works for you in person Okay, so what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna break up the goggles into different price ranges I'm gonna start at the highest most best performance goggle you can get and then all the way down to what's the Cheapest thing that'll just get you going so what I use and what most of the top pilots are gonna use and what's generally Considered to be the best performance thing you can get is Fat shark HDOs with a rapid-fire receiver So the HDOs are a Decent field of view. It's not super huge, but it's large So for me and most people it's gonna fit right in what I want It's it big enough to be impressive and have a nice screen to look at Without being so huge that I find myself looking around inside the goggles and the screens that they use are also OLED displays So it's a higher technology and displays. It's a little more crisp. It's got a little better contrast The goggles themselves are just really nice. It's pretty much considered top-of-the-line goggle And then paired with that is the rapid-fire module So this is also pretty much top-of-the-line the best performance you're gonna get out of a video receiver Now going with the HDO and rapid-fire combo is It's gonna be very expensive. It's five hundred dollars for the goggles It's a hundred fifty dollars for the receiver and then you need to add two antennas onto it Which could be anywhere from twenty to fifty dollars for that So it's definitely not cheap But if you want the best HDL rapid-fire, that's probably as good as it's gonna get So all up in that category you're pushing seven hundred dollars. It's really expensive Luckily the next rung down is quite a bit cheaper. So this is like your three hundred dollar range So for around three hundred dollars, I have two recommendations I would either go for the fat shark attitude v5 or the omway commanders The commanders are I think two seventy The fat shark attitude v5 is two ninety nine even though the attitude are a little more expensive These also come with OLED display. So it's gonna be generally a little bit better display The attitude v5 or a six forty by four hundred resolution and they're a thirty degree field of view They're also four by three whereas the commanders are at eight fifty four by four eighty resolution and thirty two degrees field of view Which on paper is a little bit higher resolution than the attitudes But the attitudes are also an OLED screen. So I would say they're pretty comparable The commanders are also a sixteen by nine goggles. So just take that into account The other thing that makes these two goggles really similar is they both come with receiver built-in and they both have diversity built-in So you're gonna be able to plug two antennas into them right out of the box. I Would say one advantage you're gonna have going with the attitudes is you can actually replace this So you can pop this one out put a rapid-fire in or other upgrade modules so slight edge to the attitudes for that but again For 300 bucks either the attitudes or the commanders are a really good choice Moving down in price a bit at 200 bucks. You've got the fat shark scout I don't have a set of those here with me, but we'll give you a picture So the scout are a box goggle very similar to this one But with a really high resolution and wide field of view display inside of it So the resolution on the scout is 1136 by 640 and it has a 50 degree field of view The scout also has got diversity of receiver built into it So it only you'll only see one antenna on it, but inside of it is also a directional antenna It also has DVR So at 200 bucks the scout is a really good deal if you don't mind having a bigger form factor So moving down in price even more is the fat shark recons These are the recon v3. These are gonna come in at 90 bucks But you can also still get the recon v2's which are almost as good There's just been some slight upgrades to the v3 and those are only 69 dollars So for an entry-level price point the fat shark recons are definitely my favorite pick So both are gonna have DVR both are gonna have a built-in receiver and both are 16 by 9 displays What I really like about the recons is for a box goggle. They're really not that big and they're not that uncomfortable to wear So if you're looking for entry level, that's definitely my favorite one to go for now under that price point There's not a whole lot of goggles that I can think of that I could really recommend that are less than 70 dollars and going to perform Well, so if even 70 is too much for you Then I would just basically recommend get whatever you can get and just get flying and you'll you'll be able to upgrade later On so these goggles are a set of goggles that come with a bundle kit So maybe that's an option for you Maybe you can find a little micro bundle kit where you're gonna get everything and get flying and it'll come with at least Something that you can use I would definitely recommend at least try to get into the recons But if even that is too much money go for a bundle kit use whatever goggles comes with it and you can upgrade later and then especially if you get one that has a Separate screen like this that can be really useful because sometimes you're working on the bench And you need to test out video issues And you don't want to actually have to put the goggles on to test things out You can just have a screen there and check things out I'm maybe keeping this in your bag and just being able to show people what you're doing That's useful. So if you need to get something that's super bare bones cheap That's acceptable. It's not going to be the best performance You're not going to have the greatest time, but you can still FPV with pretty much any screen Another good thing to know about the goggles that you can change the receiver out in is which different receivers are available So I mentioned the rapid fire. That's really kind of top of the line right now But at 150 bucks, it's kind of pricey So some other options that are going to give you better than a built-in performance, but not quite as good You can get there's true D. They have a couple different style of modules So at just a little bit less than a rapid fire, but Pretty close to comparable performance. You've got the true DX. That's 120 bucks So you're going to save $30 if you go with that route true D also has a traditional diversity module That's just going to do basic switching back and forth. That's around $80 and There's also another one called the killies. That's $69 so you can save another 10 bucks if you go with that route Okay, so those are my picks for the different price points Without being able to stick them on your face and see how they work for you It's it's really hard for me to give you much more of a suggestion of what's going to work well for you So again, if you have the chance definitely Try the goggles out and see how they look Again, the things to take a look at and goggles are the aspect ratio Making sure that if you have a 16 by 9 goggle, you get a 16 by 9 camera the resolution of the screen and the type of screen and Whether or not they you can upgrade the receiver module. So with that, I hope this was helpful. Thank you for watching and this has been learned to FPV
