Yeah, that's gonna cause a real sh** storm if they don't refund some backers....(Which I think they probably will do. They've said since the first major delay that KS backers will be compensated for waiting. This is probably how - free FPV.Connect for everyone (maybe even more ...). I'm guessing the "bundle deals" will be limited in time...

Holy cow!!

I haven't followed Orqa much just cos I'm content (not ecstatic but content) with my FS setup. None of these features in and of themselves are a real wow factor but put together as stock features in a goggle ... wow.

Now I see why FS has completely gone silent on Byte Frost development. They are too busy cleaning their pants LOLLLLLLLLLL

There is no possible way I would spend 150 more for these when they are garanteed not to focus 100% that is absolutely critical feature to have.  I just watched every review orqa and they screwed up by removing that feature and charging us 650. No way I would buy these over FS without that feature that they omitted. These are obsolete to me already. Powerful marking but no thanks.

Orqa decided that the complexity and weight were not worth it.  However, they do have slots for the regular FS as well as custom prescription diopters.  FatShark removed the diopter slots in favor of the adjustable focus on the HDO2.  That makes the HDO2 "obsolete" to me, because I can ONLY use custom diopters.  No amount of adjustable focus will take care of my vision.  OK so maybe the adjustable stuff works for 90% of people.  Orqa's will will work for 100%.

Now this is what you call the "personal touch"

Another tid-bit of information from the Orqa Owner's Lounge FB group:

So much going on all at once now, it's easy to miss some juicy tidbits.  A brief exchange between a FB guest and Orqa (regarding FPV.Connect).


"ordered a few thousand" !!

And another - regarding the new website.

So how have all these FatShark pilots been flying all these years without adjustable eye-relief?  The only goggle that had that feature previously was the Eachine EV100, and I bought a pair of those and they didn't work for me.  (They also left out the diopter slots, which meant those goggles were useless to me as well.)

I don't disagree that it is a nice feature, but FS crippled it (for me) by taking out the diopter slots.

I just bought a fatshark attitude v5 (my first slim googgles).
Before reaching it here, I was so afraid that it will not focus (my old box goggles don’t focus well)
But once reached, it focused very well. No issues it all. Not even blurry edges. So clear.
So I am just saying, focus adjustment may not be a show stopper.

I’ve pre ordered both Orqa and FS for the sake of comparing them of ama guys

Thanks.  I hope you'll do a head-to-head review and post it here when you get them!  Cheers!

Also, new update with their new support team. I reach out to them and it will be interesting how fast they respond. I wanted to make sure that they will ship my rapidfire together with the goggles as i pledged for the rapidfire afterwards

I reached out to ask about the colors (I ordered silver-grey).  If the delay is long, I may switch to black.  No answer yet.  Did you get black?

nope, I went for the silver as well but I dont have that rush to get the goggles as it is freezing here

I am also considering to change to black because the silver ones did not look that good in the photos

according to Ivan on FB you should be able to change color just by sending them an email.

BTW, I got an answer on my email just now. Fast and accurate
