Skyzone-Fatshark Faceplate Mod
#1
I finally got around to doing the simple Mod of fitting a Fatshark Faceplate with fan to my Skyzone V3 goggles.

I got tired of my goggles always fogging up on the first lipo of the day.

Items you need.

Skyzone V3 goggles
Fatshark Faceplate with built in fan
Skyzone 3D printed V3 clips http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1193286
Some foam

First  print off 4 of the 3D printed clips  (you are stuffed at this stage if you do not have or access to a 3D printer).

Remove the rubber one piece eyecup from the goggles.

Take the clips and clip them over the Fatshark face plate..No need for diagrams..very easy to do. (in other words, if you can build a quadcopter you will figure it out pretty quick.)


Then with a bit of force you push the faceplate into the Goggles until it clips into place.  (It sounds easy but does take a bit of fiddling around.)

So now the faceplate is attached but you have gaps between the faceplate and the goggles, cut some foam strips and push the strips into the gaps with a small screwdriver or similar, until you cannot see any light coming through.

Then attach the provided foam faceplate surround to the faceplate and you are done.

All up including printing the parts took me about 25 minutes.

End Result. Big Grin

Thanks Jimmy, 

For the V2's you need these clips, from here, http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1166387

Note: ( Skyzone did also release a V2 with dvr, which was the first version of the 3D camera series), If yours has the dvr, you need the clips from my First Post.

The faceplate actually fits much better on the V2's, only downside is the front centre button for controlling brightness etc gets covered by the fan, but I have read you can still use the button via a thin plastic slipped under the fan.

Had to give this a try as the eye cups on my goggles don't quite come close enough. No 3d printed clips, just string and bubblegum Big Grin ok, no string nor bubblegum. Some double sided sticky foam tape and a bit of hot glue, super stoked with the outcome. And the case, well, we all have a pair of women's snowboard goggles laying around don't we ?

I have sky zone v2 I think I bought the clips but my goggles have no slots on them at the top and bottom of them. Think I might’ve bought the wrong Clips and I have a fat shark face plate but it looks like you have to grind down the nose piece to get it to fit better
