Hi guys

I'm looking for a fpv goggle. I did some Internet research but i'm still not feeling confident to make a decision. 
I've to mention that this is will be my first fpv goggle thus i don't have any experience i could relay on. 

Feld of use
I planning to use the goggles for fpv racing.

Requirements

• Flexibility (receiver modules)
  
• Diversity support
  
• At the moment i only have a quadcopter with analog camera but i'm thinking about buying the connex prosight system to enjoy maximum quality.
  

Currently these are my favourites:

• FS Dominator HD3
  
• FS Dominator V3
  
• Headplay FPV goggles with rho lens
  

Does anyone have some experience with one of these goggles and the connex prosight system? 
In this post there is a link to this  where they using FS goggles. Even if the FS goggles aren't able to make full usage of 720p is it a big difference using them with a prosight system in comparing to an analog signal? 
Which goggle is better suited to use Dominator HD3 or Dominator V3?
Any experience with Headplay goggles?


Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experiences!

As for goggles to start... I got the HD3s and after I had some time with them I think I would have been fine with the V3s. If you get the V3s and you are going to build though keep an eye on aspect ratio because you can get 16:9 ratio to match the goggles. (The V3s have HDMI in also which is a must-have for simulators and the prosight system)

Something I wouldn't rule out since you are considering the prosight system is getting goggles with the receiver built in. Generally having the basic 40 or so channels is going to be the same as any module you buy. If the built in receiver does diversity then you're set. If you switch to the prosight system then the receiver type won't even matter.

As for the Prosight. It does look awesome, and as long as there isn't too much latency I'd say that it's a really great start into next level FPV video. Maybe in a year or two I might even get one myself. I do want to point out that if you are planning to record DVR on the goggles the prosight may not work (at least in the US it won't). I believe that it's against the law to build a recording device that connects to HDMI but doesn't handle DRM (Digital Rights Management). As a result fatshark has elected to not allow recording over HDMI on the goggles. What will happen is it'll record the audio but the screen will be black (I've done it before trying to get footage from simulator)

Yeah, you can't import a device that will record over HDMI unless the device implements the HDCP copy protection system.

Thanks Hollywood!

The Prosight sounds like a nice idea, but I have nowhere on any of my quads to place two video antennas and a transmitter that's 70x36.5x7.2mm and which weighs 32g.

Since i'm living in Europe US law doesn't bother me ^^

In this post is written:
Both goggles are capable of 16:9 aspect display ratio. The Dom V3’s stay in 16:9 all the time, whereas the HD3’s only move to 16:9 when switching to HD. With analog video, the HD3’s are 4:3. What’s important to note is that the HD3’s have a bigger field of view (FOV) in both 16:9 and 4:3. When going to the Dom V3’s from the HD3’s, the Dom V3 screen is noticeably smaller.

Does this mean that the HD3s only support 16:9 when the videolink is fed in via hdmi port?
As it looks like then both goggles HD3s and V3 have a hdmi port.
You wirte that you wouldn't rule out goggles with a built in diversity receiver. Do you have a specific goggle in mind?
Thanks so far for the replies.

For US law, I would guess that it might be illegal elsewhere, but if it's not it'd be interesting to know if they'd create an alternative version of the model to accommodate the looser restrictions!

I don't own domV3s but from what I understand it takes a 4:3 image and stretches it to fit... Many people just get used to it and are fine but you can get cameras that do 19:30 up front.

On the HD3s, mine support 16:9 on HDMI, and 4:3 on the receiver. Not owning a camera set up with 16:9 over the receiver I can't say for sure how that comes out and I don't remember if there is a setting for it or not.

As for goggles with built in diversity receiver, I have been considering getting the Eachine Goggles 2 as a "friend" goggle to loan to others so they can watch as I fly or if they want to try it out as they're learning. Those are bulky box-style though and do not have DVR

If you're willing to pay fatshark money and get some interesting additional capability then the skyzones seem pretty awesome as they're 3d capable (although you lose diversity). I remember one of the kits actually coming with a 3d camera which would be a lot of fun to try... although I don't know how much or little I'd actually use the 3d but the option seems special.

Here is the article that I read repetitively when I was trying to decide. In the end I ignored all of it and just went with the expensive fatsharks kind of blindly really lol... I am happy with them, but I think I overpaid a bit https://oscarliang.com/fpv-goggles-revie...k-skyzone/
