I love the HDO, been using it non stop for nearly 2 years. But then the new Skyzone OLED Goggles showed up a few days ago - the SKY03O, and it totally destroyed my HDO. OLED displays edged out. DVR is better. OSD menu is freaking awesome. You can power it with 2S, 4S, even 6S LiPo the list goes on... And it's cheaper and comes with receiver module... The only downside is probably the lack of module bay. See my full review here, I am speechless right now. https://oscarliang.com/skyzone-sky03o-oled-fpv-goggles/ Here is the OLED display comparison between SKY03O and HDO: You can buy the Skyzone SKY03O from these vendors, buying via these links supports the blog! Thank you.

The Skyzone does not have a module bay. Therefore you cannot change out the VRX like a Fatshark. That is what Oscar meant. So, you are stuck with the built-in VRX.

Performance is comparable to the popular True-D and the Pro58.“ thank you oscar for your review i dont like the outside-colors of oscars version, i guess it could be hidden in the gras x-) i mention about people searching their goggles :-) not the copters. a buzzer needed :-) • Posts: 5,319 Threads: 673 Likes Received: 3,155 in 1,743 posts Likes Given: 2,031 Joined: Jan 2016 Reputation: 139 I see people using the Rapidfire as a ground station and feed the signal via AV input...

They take the "Supply and demand" thing WAYYY too far. It's criminal what they charge for 2 tiny screens a fan and some plastic, without any actual receiver even.... It's criminal.

If Oscar says they are better than the HDOs AND cheaper, it's a no brainer. Once I sell off some parts ( https://intofpv.com/t-fpv-lot-toothpick-quad-batteries-lots-of-stuff), then I'll be able to get them! Thanks so much for doing the reviews! • Posts: 438 Threads: 63 Likes Received: 93 in 70 posts Likes Given: 26 Joined: Jul 2017 Reputation: 1 429.00 AIO not bad..

The HDOs look super choppy. This is the smoothness I have been wishing my HDOs had since I owned them.

I’m actually disappointed in myself for spending 500 on fatsharks now. Also, they released the fatshark attitude v5 I find it ironic my own attitude towards fatsharks is changing, 500 was just bs I’m sorry if you guys get mad it’s just plain bs. The screens are garbage in the HDOs and I felt it from day one.

The screens are garbage in the HDOs and I felt it from day one. HDO is not that bad, the OLED in them are still better than most LCD screens. I remember how excited I was when I first tried them. It is a bit expensive given the short list features compared to the SKY03O though. Look at the bright side, you get the module bay so you can use any receiver module you want, but you can't with the SKY03o Posts: 26 Threads: 1 Likes Received: 7 in 7 posts Likes Given: 0 Joined: Aug 2019 Reputation: 0 31-Aug-2019, 06:13 PM (This post was last modified: 31-Aug-2019, 06:18 PM by VonLudwig.) I have seen enough reviews to point out that the RapidFire is unnecessary. It appears the skyzones have just as good reception to me, at least when people tested them out in the areas they are used to gettting signal lost it looks to me skyzones don't lose any edge regarding when comparing to the HDOs. Even things in the screen look more up front, why is that? I always dislike the distance in which things looked from on HDOs(even with prescription diaopters. This goggles solve my issues I will most likely buy. The ONLY thing I wish it had was 16:9 then it would be perfect. • Posts: 12,099 Threads: 125 Likes Received: 3,739 in 2,836 posts Likes Given: 99 Joined: Feb 2017 Reputation: 388 (28-Aug-2019, 03:26 PM)bLoWsMokE Wrote: I'm not sure I like fat shark.

This point has been made before. If it was possible to make something as good as a Fatshark for significantly less, then the Chinese cloner would have already done it. The reality is, it cost a lot to produce a product like the Fatshark. That is why no one has made anything for half the price with the same quality. If you compare HDO + Achilles = $550 to Sky030 = $420, there is a cost difference. But nothing crazy different. And if you look at ORQA, which will be $650, you do have to say that it cost money to develop and make a pair of goggles. • Posts: 26 Threads: 1 Likes Received: 7 in 7 posts Likes Given: 0 Joined: Aug 2019 Reputation: 0 They are even coming out with Eachine EV800DM! 2019, The goggles war is real!
