Here’s my question: In your experience what is the best set of goggles for analog fpv? (Although I’m not planning on running digital any time soon, I’m wondering if anyone races dji with the analog mod, and if it contends with goggles designed for analog?) ![[-]](https://intofpv.com/images/collapse.png) • Posts: 168 Threads: 6 Likes Received: 36 in 34 posts Likes Given: 16 Joined: Mar 2020 Reputation: 6 SKYZONE SKY04X is the best bang for the buck in top tier analog goggle range. It comes with a built in receiver. It is ready to use out of the box without any modification or mod. • Posts: 21,245 Threads: 586 Likes Received: 8,962 in 6,632 posts Likes Given: 1,425 Joined: Jun 2018 Reputation: 787 I would probably hold fire on Skyzone SKY04X goggles at this point in time because there seem to be some issues with them which is detailed in another thread ( HERE) and also on Skyzone's own Facebook page, some of them hardware related. I'm sure Skyzone will get the issues sorted but if you can't wait for that to happen then pick something else. Any of the high-end analogue goggles are decent these days. If you would rather spend a bit less then wait for Joshua Bardwell's review of the FatShark Attitude V6 goggles which he will be putting together shortly. Those have identical features to the HDO2's with the only real difference being is that they use LCOS screens instead of OLED screens,, and the FOV is a bit smaller. The Attitude V6's do however come with a module, unlike the HDO2's. The Attitude V6's come in at $350.

Thanks, I have looked in to the V6’s the price is amazing, although I’m waiting for the reviews to surface... • Posts: 359 Threads: 14 Likes Received: 163 in 126 posts Likes Given: 1 Joined: Jul 2020 Reputation: 12 With the dji v2 goggles coming out soon there may be some used v1 available or discounted new ones.
I like my hdo but myself if I was looking now I'd seriously look into orqa if I was set on buying the best analog on the market. Quality receiver and antennas are equally as imporant for the full experience. Rapid fire or tbs fusion are currently the most popular. • Posts: 168 Threads: 6 Likes Received: 36 in 34 posts Likes Given: 16 Joined: Mar 2020 Reputation: 6 14-Dec-2020, 06:56 PM (This post was last modified: 14-Dec-2020, 06:58 PM by johnwhip.)

They are still usable and serve well.I can't see huge reason to move from HDO to higher end goggles like HDO2 etc. You should consider DJI FPV system in that price range. • Posts: 21,245 Threads: 586 Likes Received: 8,962 in 6,632 posts Likes Given: 1,425 Joined: Jun 2018 Reputation: 787 (14-Dec-2020, 06:09 PM)Joshua_A Wrote: Thanks, I have looked in to the V6’s the price is amazing, although I’m waiting for the reviews to surface... Joshua Bardwell's review of the FatShark Attitude V6 is due out on Wednesday. He said all of the content is already recorded and it just needs to be edited. • Posts: 21,245 Threads: 586 Likes Received: 8,962 in 6,632 posts Likes Given: 1,425 Joined: Jun 2018 Reputation: 787 I put a link to JB's review of the FatShark Attitude V6 goggles in the following post... https://intofpv.com/t-fatshark-attitude-...#pid122058 • Posts: 67 Threads: 6 Likes Received: 37 in 28 posts Likes Given: 56 Joined: Nov 2020 Reputation: 1 17-Dec-2020, 12:06 PM (This post was last modified: 17-Dec-2020, 12:07 PM by nuxnik.) I am relatively new to FPV - only going on a year, so you're probably better off taking the advise of a veteran. But I figured I would throw in my two cents: I love my Fatshark HDOs. They work great, look great and are 100% reliable. However, I got caught up in the black Friday hype and ended up buying the Eachine EV300O a week or two ago. It is a branding clone of the Skyzone SKY04X. The main difference (correct me if I am wrong) is the screen resolution being smaller with the EV300Os. I am very happy with them and the RapidMix module (which is included in the package) is also extremely good. The view is crystal clear, the lens adjustment great and they fit to my face very well. There was some previous discussion about the module bay not fitting external third party modules for the EV300O/SKY04X. However, with some minor modification, it is possible. This depends, of course, on your level of comfort with electronics and 3D-printing. I am currently working on a model to extend the module bays to allow third party "standard size" modules with 3D printed parts and some male/female header pins. If I get a satisfactory result, I'll post it in a separate thread. • Posts: 219 Threads: 42 Likes Received: 74 in 60 posts Likes Given: 120 Joined: Aug 2020 Reputation: 2 Just because the 040 has been released doesn't mean the Skyzone 030 is not an outstanding goggle. You get a lot of performance and a very good price, and they continue to pummel the Fat Shark goggles for value. • Posts: 254 Threads: 14 Likes Received: 47 in 41 posts Likes Given: 10 Joined: Aug 2019 Reputation: 2 depending on your eyesight or age, consider a focus adjustment. Its really helpful and otherwise you may need to spend extra money for some lenses. And the cheap lenses are crap (imho) • Posts: 117 Threads: 18 Likes Received: 23 in 18 posts Likes Given: 4 Joined: Sep 2020 Reputation: 0 Watch out for my mini review on the 04X soon. Just got them and will fly with them this weekend. • Posts: 164 Threads: 10 Likes Received: 95 in 71 posts Likes Given: 172 Joined: Dec 2020 Reputation: 4 Wow, quite a few reply’s... amazing, thanks.
So from the knowledge I’ve gathered so far, I think, the following points are important for my setups...
• support for external modules (I have a 3D printer and am comfortable working in CAD, so designing covers ( if needed) isn’t a concern.
•I fly LOS IRL, although I fly in the sim often, so I’m itching to start racing FPV, and as I’ve been told analog is used on the racing meet ups.
• My eye sight is good (LOS I guess), so lenses aren’t needed...
• For and great analog setup, a good rx and axii are need, so a included rx isn’t important. • Posts: 932 Threads: 49 Likes Received: 192 in 157 posts Likes Given: 186 Joined: Jul 2020 Reputation: 11 It really comes down to how much you want to spend. I have the HDO2’s and rapid fire combo and get really good results with the long axil11 and a large patch. The quad will fly further than I want to go get in case of a crash on an 800mw Tx.
