Yeah but they are overpriced and nobody recommends them anymore. Plus they are huge for no reason and have no adjustable screens. Orqa goggles were a failure. Sky04x, HDO2, are far better choices. Those firmware updates are just gimmicky and useless.

so i am a nobody reccomands the orqa fpv.one :-)
"gimmicky and usless" you might missed my previous post where i named a benefit like lifestream to a smartphone or the internet.... sure the scam are the other goggles without any improvements in years ;-)

the firmware isnt the special thing on the orca, its the hardware which allow new firmware possibilities.

like the title says, orqa fpv.one is still the best goggle on the market.

Hardware/firmware wise the Orqa goggles are a very future proof analog goggle.

Skyzone does offer firmware updates but Fatshark firmware updates are unheard off especially since the HD02 has not received a single firmware update since release.

The optics on the HDO2 and Orqa’s are fairly different even though they are using the same Sony Oled screens. Everyone has a different opinion on what they prefer in terms of FOV and Barrel vs Pincushion distortion.

Some claim Skyzones offer a better fit due to the different faceplates included in the package and the cost savings with the included VRX.

DVR on HDO2 is the worst amongst them.

I ordered my HD02’s in Jan 2020 and they have served me well.

But does any of this even matter now in 2021 where I think no one should be investing in analog gear.

But no really one cares about that gimmicky feature. The title is obviously false. Most people don’t even recommend orqas on their channel anymore. Ciotti called it unfinished overpriced product and that’s what it actually is. They are a very bad buy.

no one can tell something against ciotti xD
its just the best analog goggle on the market, it even doesnt look like there cone other flagships from any brand for analog. probably it will stay as the best analog goggle forever :-)

Ok friend, Orqas are the best goggle of 2018 when they were designed with those who huge oblong bulges meant for the adjustable lenses they gave up on because they don’t know how to make a goggle... they kept advertising them adjustable lenses though even though they made the design decision to remove the adjustable lenses in late 2018. They kept the huge stupid design and sold you “firmware updates” ... useless.


Orqas one of those companies that’s all marketing and no worthy product. Orqas most impressive feat is using their army of backers to promote them 2 years later. And now they wanted fatsharks HD tech too... we all have companies we like but orqas a waste of money and their HD system is non existent. They really have no engineering backend.

Anyways I’m done bashing orqa, they get enough hate due to their lack of any good products and all marketing. All the info is out there for all to read and avoid them. There’s already enough info telling people orqas are a bad buy for many reasons.

i have many buddies fly orqa fpv.one, no one dislike it. all of them would just switch to another goggle :-)
you got that "review of someone knowledge", i flew it a few times and have access to various longterm impressions :-)

orca fpv.one is just an awesome nice product, at the point i throw in an unbeatable feater "livestreaming" you jump into this discussion and speak about xD usless updates xD

"adjustable lenses" thats a goggle-invention from eachine ;-) not something difficult.

your bashing is useless, there was never a pricedrop and there are no used ones available... your ciotti review knowledge doesnt match the reality.

I’m not offended but Ciotti might be if you live-streamed that. Do you have a YouTube channel since you mentioned live streaming?


The bat has spoken, and so has the bulb.

You have a nice day my dude.

By the way, can we have a link to this infamous livestream review of the Orqa's by Ciotti?

5-6 live streams back have fun.

Some one asks a question as they were dissatisfied they spent the most money for the highly marketed goggles he(ciotti) calls it a unfinished product and oversized for no reason which true

The bulb has spoken

In that case I guess we shouldn't mention the 80's DVR technology in the top of the line FatShark HDO2 goggles, or the badly fitting Skyzone SKY04X goggles with a bespoke sized module bay and half baked Rapidmix module firmware. The bottom line is that all of the premium analogue goggles in this hobby are overpriced because of the small market and tiny profit margins. You just have to choose what you feel is right for you and pay your money. One thing that both the Orqas and Skyzones do have going for them is that at least they are partly future-proof by being firmware upgradable, and the Orqas do have hardware expansion capabilities for future hardware module options.

I get your point on the DVR but who it truly matters to is a mystery to me. I don’t think anyone expects a HD DVR on the orqas. DVR is mainly use to retrieve a lost quad, I don’t use for it anything else. Regarding the processing power/firmware updates, that’s also another gimmick, so far nothing useful has come out and I don’t think streaming flights is very interesting. If you really care about that. When I buy goggles, I buy them to fly. Without adjustable lenses the orqas are an old design to me.

Not everyone flies a quad that can take an HD camera. Most of the pilots who fly micro quads and whoops have to rely on the DVR if they want footage, and for that they want the best DVR quality possible. You're only thinking of your own use case and not considering the wider picture. There are also a lot of pilots out there who don't need focal adjustment on the lenses (I am currently fortunate enough to be one that doesn't) or who are happy to use slide in diopters. Again, everyone has their own use case and budget. We should be grateful that there is at least some competition in the analogue goggle space to choose from and not just a complete monopoly from a single supplier like DJI have in the digital space.

I have a off topic question about 040 diopter adjustment.
The 040 advertise -6 to +6 diopter adjustment but how do they adjust?
Do they adjust by moving screens in/out or do they have a movable lens and fixed screens.
