This one has a little bit of video shot at the OLED near the end.

The HDO's apparently had a very slight edge mainly due to more control over the image settings but not enough to warrant ditching the HDO's and spending $500 on a pair of HDO2's I understood a totally different thing: HDO2 have significant better image. From other reviewers: Also the Skyzone o3o have a much better picture then HDOs ... I personally switched from EV200 to o3o and was soooo impressed by the image... Of course I cant compare to HDOs but If Orqas are even slightly better then o3o... oh man really good for analog • Posts: 2,416 Threads: 51 Likes Received: 1,861 in 1,175 posts Likes Given: 3,315 Joined: Mar 2016 Reputation: 74 21-Nov-2019, 02:37 PM (This post was last modified: 21-Nov-2019, 07:13 PM by sloscotty.)

I just went and re-watched the part of the video where JB made the statement I was referring to and his exact words are... Joshua Bardwell Wrote:But I really don't think you can judge the difference in resolution. The higher resolution of the HDO2 - the GoPro isn't really going to be able to pick that up, and even when you're flying with it [the HDO2], I don't think you're going to see a difference if you're flying with a standard definition camera between the 960 resolution of the HDO and the 1280 resolution of the HDO2. He then goes on to make some statements about Skyzone 03O screen which in fairness he does say look better than the HDO's [on analog]. Anyway, I think you might have missed my point. I'm not defending the HDO's over the other newer generation of OLED goggles whether that be the Skyzone's 03O's, HDO2's, or ORQA's. I was just highlighting that for those people who own HDO's, spending $500 on HDO2's may not be a sensible option at this moment in time with all the stuff currently going on in the VTX and goggle world. Unless of course you have too much money and need to get rid of some. Best to wait it out a few months and see what happens. Even if Skyzone 03O's have slightly better screens that the HDOs I wouldn't buy them because Skyzone dropped the ball when they didn't include a module bay which is a deal breaker for me. That clunky after thought of a box module they designed to be velcro'd to the outside is no way an acceptable solution IMO and just shows that they realised too late that they'd made a huge mistake in not designing a module bay into those goggles. Most of the reviewers are lucky enough to get their goggles for free so they don't even have to think about whether to spend that sort of money or not. If I had money to burn on the HDO2's I would just dig deeper and get the ORQA's instead. The Skyzones's wouldn't even get a look-in.

I cant see the pics either. Thanks for the updates Sloscotty! And thanks for the feedback on the HDO2s, Snow ... I had actually considered it briefly if it meant better Byte Frost image. Sloscotty, if you have time, would you mind putting your Orqa side by side with your Fat Shark I just want to get a sense of size comaprison. For example, does that pointy front stick out that much more than the Fat Sharks. Also it almost appears thicker at the eye side but that might be strap in the background cant quite tell from Snow's repost. I know it's not practical but I am huge on looks and one of the main reasons I won't do DJI. Also is that just a battery case or ... gulp ... a proprietary battery?? For something that looks so cool, I'd hate to strap a bare lipo onto that thing. Man I still can't get over the design of this thing. The sick logo - and how it's placed small but prominent. The classy lines remind me of an Audi of FPV goggles. And that module integration into those lines. Sick dude. • Posts: 2,416 Threads: 51 Likes Received: 1,861 in 1,175 posts Likes Given: 3,315 Joined: Mar 2016 Reputation: 74 21-Nov-2019, 07:15 PM (This post was last modified: 22-Nov-2019, 01:12 PM by sloscotty.)

For something that looks so cool, I'd hate to strap a bare lipo onto that thing. Don't have any FatShark to compare to. However, I think the front does stick out a little farther... It's a battery case containing two 18500 Li-ion batteries. The balance cable is detachable and is only used for charging. (18500 is a shorter vesion of the 18650. The capacity in the orqa pack is 2000mAh.) The batteries can be swapped, but not easily - have to remove 4 screws.
