I'm shopping for my first goggles and everyones seems to go mad over diversity, how important is it? I ask because I've got an offer to buy some attitude V3's for $175USD. and I'm trying to decide if I should spring the extra 100 bucks and get some commander V1's because they have Diversity. What do you guys think? Do I really need diversity as a beginner who's only flying one quad by himself?

Thanks

diversity is always nice, but there is always something better or will come. after simple diversity comes the rapidfire diversity, use single lines of each antenna and craft it to the best picture of both...
some single vrx are even better than bad diversity modules...
about your question, sure you dont need, it will be a pleasure anyway... i beleive there is a „av in“ you can do a mod, add any diversity module you like, even the rapidfire to any goggle with a videoin.
i added a single fatsharkvrx to my boxgoggle in the past, because the builtin diversity was complety trash ;-)

if you like to fly longrange, there comes importance. if you like to win a race there comes importance aswell... if you like to have shortrange fun, i beleive a good single vrx will work very very well!

Okay thanks! I think if I go for the commanders I'll have a goggle that will grow with me instead of holding me back.
One thing I couldnt find online though, does the Attitude V3 have hdmi? Because I'd love to havea goggle I can hook up to my sim and practice with.

i dont know it, but i thougt the same, until i try it the first time, for me the display on my notebook is fareway better than the goggle to play sim. now it wouldnt have importance for me.
probably not hdmi, but the most goggles has a videoin.

Goggles that allows you to grow is one that let's you upgrade the receiver module. Consider an Attitude V5.

The Attitude V3's have a module bay, so if you feel the need to upgrade to diversity you can later.

Yeah i took that into consideration. What's the chances of a beginner needing diversity though, like does diversity only come into play when you're far away? or behind rocks/walls?

I never fly more than about 150m, and I still find diversity handy.

Diversity is probably most useful around trees. Those big water-filled oxygenators are a bugger for blocking RF, and the ability to put a directional antenna alongside an omni means that you get better signal penetration if you point the directional antenna at an obstacles you may be flying behind. If you're flying close in an open field then you won't see any benefits, but put a couple of trees between you and your quad and it starts to pay dividends.

Behind any obstacle diversity already comes into play, even flying behind yourself it comes into play!
It's the simple fact of having two different antennas and always getting the best of the combo and almost never the bad.

Thanks guys! that settles that for me then. Diversity it is! 
is the diversity on the commander v1's good? or is it worth getting the attitude v3's and pick up a seperate receiver?

I had and am still having the same dilemma. I ended up getting a pair of cheap but good goggles until I figured out what I wanted and always had in the back of my mind it can always be a spare or for another person to watch me fly when I get the proper ones.

Reviews on these are good.

What I have finally figured is how I now want to see things when flying. For me this means a large FOV and 16.9 aspect ratio and it must be able to take a 2.4gHz receiver. Now all I need is a point in time where I can justify the cost and would also have to have tried a pair first.

because i had such bad experience with my first diversity module, i told a single one should be fine aswell. the question bother me and i will try my trued module with a single antenna as a single vrx, to have a side by side comparison x-D
