I felt it important to say that I put a pair of reader's glasses with the ear stems removed in to these quite easily. They stay in the nearby area but lay perfectly on my nose. I've seen other do the same. Worked well on my Furibee VR01 goggles too but required two tiny bits of Velcro on ends. Please don't make glasses wearers think these goggles won't work for them. This solution is not at all inconvenient. Very good review otherwise. Thank you.
Bought them for 89$ i think it's best you ever get! DVR, true diversity, quality display, comfortable pads, lightweight. Minor issue is little gap near your nose but you can diy fix it easy
Now available with an expander where it slides apart. Easy to place a 4s cell battery pack in a shirt pocket for extended time. The micro drones I use have a short flight time and I am done after 45 minutes and still lots of battery in the Eachine EV800D. I am not a everyday flyer and this is a very good hobby goggle for occasional use. Finding AWOL drones is easier if you place a tile synced to your phone. Finds lost keys, so unclip it from your key chain and tape it under the drone. It beeps with a 120 m range. Eachine is a good company that builds on it's products to make them better. E58 has had a number of upgrades in cameras and now available with 4K. The expander is another great upgrade for better visibility.
Dear Andy, I enjoy and learn a lot from you, i need your advise, I am going to get a nice goggle like fatshark HDO later, but for my first goggle , do you recommend these ev800 ones? or your experience says that i'll be better if i start with fatshark and skip these cheap goggle ? bare in mind the HDO is not available now and i really like to start fpv asap, thank a lot by the way do you know if eachine pro dvr (external one ) is going to work with ev800 ?
I'm coming back very late to this review to point out a minor miracle. When I decided to FPV a toy RC truck I bought a set of these _on the basis of this review_ so I could use the monitor myself (wonky eyes) and have goggles for other drivers. That worked well for a couple of days and I even used the goggles as goggles to give a very "fuzzy" attempt at FPV driving. It turns out however that a 'surplus to requirements' set of 6x magnifying glasses (supplied free by a friendly optician) not only fit perfectly into the appropriate gap (just in front of the faceplate) but with the fixed fresnel lens almost exactly match the focal length of my infamously wonky eyes. I am now, finally, a proper fpv-er!
Hi! thanks for the review! I'm looking for my first fpv goggles and I'm trying to decide between this two. My concern is that I use glasses for miopy. I tried the Skyzone v01 from a friend and I can see perfectly with them. Do you think that I can use any of this? which one would be better? thanks!!
Andy, does it feel nose heavy with the battery built into the front of the goggle compared to the VRd2? Coz the one thing the VRd2 got spot on was the smaller size and light weight. Does that extra heft from the built-in battery get uncomfortable after some time?
The HD resolution from the HM-DVR just plays with interpolation from the native D1 PAL or D1 NTSC format .... For me the EV800D builtin DVR is far better ....and simple to use.... Cheers Andy :)
Most standard reading glasses will fit on inside edge of view opening which will compensate for near sighted folks. It seems to close for healthy eye use even though you may adjust hold goggles at distance to see differennce and use reading glasses glued in with silicone if req' Good dvr compared to v2 fatshark doms
hi there, i just got my ev800d, i noticed that your antennas are in different position with the antennas pictured in the box of the goggles, thus this mean it can be mounted either way? thanks
To record on the D2 you don't need to go into the menu. In your normal fpv feed the record button works aswell, you just don't see that it is recording unless you check or keep track.
Great video. Not knowing and completely new to FPV I ordered the LS-008D goggles as they were cheaper and I will be flying the eachine e013 inductrix clone with them. I hope they work well enough for a newbie.
Hi Andy could you help me with a problem that I'm running into with SD cards that I'm trying to use with the Eachine VR D2 Pro 5 Inches 800*480 40CH 5.8G Diversity FPV Goggles DVR . I keep getting a "card full" notice when I plug in my cards? Everything from a 16GB up to 64GB cards???? Help!
What type of SD card is required? I have a Class 10 64gb, and goggles either keep turning off, or will say CARD ERROR, THEN POWER OFF.... PLEASE help us, I see im not the only one with this issue.
Hi Andy, love your videos :) I have a quick question : I have a Fatshark Teleporter V3 (really old, bad qvga quality, etc..). Should I replace it with a 800D ? Will the range really be better ?
I bought some HD3s, they were faulty like yours and I sent them back to be repaired but they were still totally crap so they went back to the store. I'm now looking for the best "box style" I can buy and price isn't an option even though these cheap goggles seem to work great. Do you have any recommendations for box style? Have you seen the eyebox fpv5 race?
I've got some similar from Shinehalo and the viewing angle from the right eye gives aus dark inverted image. Also the antennas have no effect in receiving quality. So BEWARE! I hope it is not the case with the original Eachine?
Hi,.. I’m having an issue getting the DVR to work properly,... should the red recording light in top right stay solid red when recording? Should it blink? How do I know it’s recording?
Can i see anything on the EV800D googles if the eachine EV006 display is too near for me? I had to glue a reading glasses there with hot glue before I could fly with EV006 Its the hell to fly with that, now i need a alternative. I dont want to scrap 80€ if its the same with EV800D. Thanks :=)
Andy Rc do you think it's worth me upgrading from my Ev800 without diversity? I find them very comfortable and brightness and resolution to be great. My current set do not have diversity and I get great reception even better then friends with fat sharks. I can only imagine the diversity would be even better
I am running a set of aomways and sometimes pagodas on the quad with the aomway on the goggles. My buddies can't believe how bright the screen is and the reception quality over their fatsharks with diversity!
After watching your review on the Eachine 800D here. I'm gonna go with it! Thanks for the great comparison video! I have one question!! Will these goggles work with the Kingkong ET 115 that I just ordered??
don ashfield it depends I would say u should go with the same company when buying googles. I bot a x220 and it seemed to be able open to more options on another eachine device, if I was u I would buy a aomway commander
Those or the eachine goggles 2? Which is the better one?
6 років тому
I'm having real trouble to put it on my head, they don't feel comfortable at all, somehow they are slipping off at the back of my head, I'm used to the Eachine V007 which are like glued to the face but they don't have all the other good features like diversity, screen resolution, DVR etc.
I have the original ev800's and I've been very happy with them, however the charging jack has recently started to give up, its so tiny and weak and to me its the only bad thing about the goggles. This would be a concern with the 800D's as if/when this plug fails you can't use the goggles, I would choose the other one. Thanks for the review
Johnus Johnson So the EV800 or EV800D? How does it feel on your head and is it easy to use? Is it worth it, or should I save for the ~100-150$ USD goggles?
Hi andy thanks for your professional review, can you measure of the inside the goggles please because I wearing small glasses so i appreciate if you do that. thank you
hello i just got a pair of eachine ev800 goggles and i can not get the to work on my Visou sx809w quadcpter. iy cant find the frequency, any ideas, its fully charged up. i hope i can use these with this drone. any help would be appreciated. keep up the good reviews. Sincerely, Wayne D. Greenlee
Which cameras are compatible with EV800D? I want to buy this system but I do not know which camera should I buy. Does AIO 5.8G 40CH 25MW VTX 800TVL 1/3 Cmos FPV Camera work?
It would be great if you setup a camera when you review goggles and monitors, so we can see what video looks like instead of static the whole time. Thanks for the review.
uavfutures did a full review of the VRD2 pro and siad they were horrible bad reception , have you seen the video ? is he right or maybe he got a bad unite , am in the uk manchester and want to get into FPV but i want the right goggles as am on a budget thanks andy
Hi Andy Just getting started with race quads and got a wizard x220 as intro to the hobby will be flying with app on smart phone to begin but obviously I'm in the market for some fpv goggles. I wear glasses so am limited to the box type. I'm on a budget so as many do not want to waste money but also can't really justify spending a huge amount of money. I've done a bit of looking into different makes and came across a company called Crazepony who have a set of goggles that seem to be supplied with better antennas so no need to buy extra parts to get them do the job they are meant to do unlike most budget products where you end up buying extra or swapping out parts to make them work properly. Have you ever reviewed any products from this company as there isn't many reviews for these goggles. Any comments/opinions would be greatly appreciated Thanks in advance Clive
received mine today, and it was DOA... just my luck haha. The power button is broken (as in, the actual switch bit soldered to the board). More than likely getting a replacement sent out. Looks good not powered on :P
great review as always, just wanted to say thank you for mentioning that you can't wear glasses with either of these goggles since I do wear glasses, do you happen to know of a goggle that I can wear my glasses with. Thanks
Eachine just released a pair that they say is specifically designed for people with glasses. www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?2901757-Eachine-VR011-5-Inches-800x480-Diversity-FPV-Goggles-5-8G-40CH-Raceband
Kigai11 Quanum Cyclops V1 or V2 from HobbyKing. I have the V1's and they are very good, and the V2's are a lot better and with a lot more features including a even better picture quality.
Andy: An outstanding presentation, videography, and comparison. Told me almost everything I needed to know! What kind of wall plug does the charger come with? I need a USA style 110-120 Volt AC type. Jim
Great Review, Thanks, Have you tried to connect then to a PCthru a HDMI2AV converter?, it works with other goggles but may not work this these ones REPLY
Anyone has a black screen problem on these goggles? I struggle a lot to get them connected to my drone frequency because they frequently just show a flat black screen instead of the image. I have to change frequency on the drone and keep searching on the goggles until finally I can see the image. It's annoying because sometimes it takes five or ten minutes of me changing channels to finally have an image. Any help?
Eachine EV800D DVR problem When inserting micro SD card in goggles (not drone), a vision signal is losing after 10sec. In fact, power is automatically shut down. Then I need to press a power button to turn on. Without using a microSD card, the vision signal seems to be stable. My friend bought the same, and had same issue. He asked Eachine to send new one due to initial failure. In conclusion, please tell me how to fix a problem if anyone had same issue. I use beta flight, Beta65X HD, Frsky. Otherwise I may need to ask Eachine company to send me new one!!
I am forced to buy the EV800D because the other vr008 and those bunch's AV input is compatible with no receivers in the market. But I need the AV input from receiver on the car roof so that I can hide inside my car while the deed is done. Real pros always hide in the car. Look up Mark Spencer Blackpool .
Started to make a small comment and it turned into a book detailing my decision.. so it would be documented for me somewhere if needed or in case a stupid amount of research helps out some other poor bastard like myself look in the sub 100 dollar range: I've researched until I'm about to pass out.. (If I told you how long you would not believe me anyway... what I do to save 10 bucks is ridiculous). I think I will go with these 800d's for my first pair. RC is getting better and cheaper all the time, if later I decide I like other tech. Not a good move for me to go with something expensive now. Diversity and DVR were important and the DVR is easy to use here vs other offerings. Lots of people liked the screen. If for some reason I am too farsighted, ebay sells extensions for these. Down the line these are easiest for others to use as both a goggle or monitor (as a spectator, _guaranteed_ to work one way or the other for any sight challenged person). Monitor mode is also great for reviewing the dvr while looking for your lost aircraft (..ya know... for... a "friend") ｡(*^▽^*)ゞ I found that to be a big plus none others really offered. You can watch through others but you pretty much need to put them on and can't show others while you do it. You can walk and search while you watch. The battery in front seems like the big downside to something already long and large.. "and BLACK! (ﾉ^∇^)ﾉﾟ ....No? (๑•́ ₃ •̀๑) .... Tough crowd, tough crowd. I'll show myself out." But no one seems to realize you can simply *remove* it and _use the cable it came with for this purpose,_ to mount the battery in the back or in your pocket or wherever you like... or use a larger battery too! If for some reason I am incorrect and it needs the forward battery to work, there is no reason you could not extend the wires to wherever you like if you are handy. If you are not handy or rich? Stop... step away, slowly, from RC right now. So this model is clearly the most practical choice.. without being able to actually put a bunch of pairs on in person and try them.. (who knows maybe they will make me sick haha.) This was my roundup: -EV800d: see above. -ev100: very narrow FOV (28-30). more expensive. No DVR. -ev800: no diversity or dvr. -VRD2 pro: The benefit of a battery in the back is because (for reasons already stated)...not a benefit the 800d's _don't also_ have... Unless you are a moron. (Morons would not read this far so you're good... probably). Don't come apart for other types of viewing. The diopter adjustment sounds like most people almost always adjusted it all the way to the same distance the 800d are anyway. Crappy dvr navigation. Overall only a slightly lower choice for me, even if I sound like I'm ripping them. Both VRD2 and 800d were reported in many different places to have very good reception for a cheap goggle. If I had to guess, these two would tie for top place on my list for reception, and probably have identical guts. Both were reported by many who have since upgraded to still be a favorite they bring along, and a no regret buy. I think the non pro version or some earlier version had fake diversity but I'm stretching my memory now. (2 antenna but only one receiver.) -VRD3: Adjustment almost always all the way out for people.. which is about the same length or comfort level as these 800d's from what I gathered. Smaller 3 inch screen. Lighter though. Was the runner up for me. (advertised 900x600).. lies, actual is 960x480. (which is not terrible, just sayin). -Topsky prime 1s: Company completely lies about specs... I mean, I think like all these china goggles do.. (which pisses me off).. but these guys went way out there. Never buy from Topsky. They need to die slowly in a fire for the sake of our species, thank you for your service. -Some DIY goggles that people liked I don't remember. Quanum?: very cheap, but discontinued it seems or I likely would have done that. -Hacking up some cheap model to have it all for way less: I'm good with this kind of thing and this made sense for who I am the best, but even I backed out here. It is probably best to know more about the tech first. Following along with vague suggestions people explained, about terms I was just learning had me quit that route. Your mileage may vary. More power to ya. -fatshark recon: non diversity and apparently garbage... plus I hate group-think-crazes, I'm pissed at Fatshark for taking such a huge advantage of this temporary monopoly they have and charging probably 8 times what they need to so some jerk can drive the newest Jaguar. ( ︶︿︶)_╭∩╮ I'll wait till tech jumps more and prices come down until somebody offers something that can take them down... and I'll support them instead. * These are all between like 45 and 110 US dollars. Even cheap ass me thought for those numbers, it was important to just choose whichever was best for me with no regard to price, so I'll just leave the prices out. You will make a better decision not looking at them. I'm likely cheaper than you are.. so take that for what it is worth. I also probably forgot some points by this time, but the overall should be there. Last point: I did see a comment or two about NON Eachine ev800d's being sub-par, which you can find cheaper. I don't know it if is true that those are sub-par.. I would usually chance it.. but not this time. (grats, your the one guy who made it through all that). (•̀ᴗ•́)و ̑̑ (￣^￣)ゞ
Yes, but I connected them to a HDMI2AV converter, and then to a PC using an HDMI cable, but I can't see the PC image on the goggles even as the PC identify the converter as a 720P monitor REPLY
Thanks for your reply, I have check everything twice, in addition in this video about the EV100, by DroneRacer101 ua-cam.com/video/9TDz9HK99YE/v-deo.html he mention that he was able to do it with the EV100 but not with the EV800D
ev800 is more comfy and perfect for my eyes, screens seems more smooth. vr d2 screen is alittle too close to the eyes, had to double up the sponge of better material to make it good even the lens was all the way back. images are abit rough. i think ev800d wins just by a point.... more comfy.
I felt it important to say that I put a pair of reader's glasses with the ear stems removed in to these quite easily. They stay in the nearby area but lay perfectly on my nose. I've seen other do the same. Worked well on my Furibee VR01 goggles too but required two tiny bits of Velcro on ends. Please don't make glasses wearers think these goggles won't work for them. This solution is not at all inconvenient. Very good review otherwise. Thank you.
That track at the end was ROCKIN'!!!
Do you know the name?
Anyone?

can you try the eachine goggles two, please? Thanks.
AndyRC Which is the best if you wear glasses?
Do these work with the antenna backwards or in wrong spots?
My box goggles broke. I was looking into these goggles and am very glad you posted a review. thank you !
Bought them for 89$ i think it's best you ever get! DVR, true diversity, quality display, comfortable pads, lightweight. Minor issue is little gap near your nose but you can diy fix it easy
Were were you able to get them for $89.00.. great buy
God bless banggood :)
So easy to watch, and you explain things so well to someone like myself just learning about fpv, thanks mate, greetings from Australia.
I just ordered myself one! Thanks !! You're the best, Andy! That's you playing at the end eh? Rock it!!!
Now available with an expander where it slides apart. Easy to place a 4s cell battery pack in a shirt pocket for extended time. The micro drones I use have a short flight time and I am done after 45 minutes and still lots of battery in the Eachine EV800D. I am not a everyday flyer and this is a very good hobby goggle for occasional use. Finding AWOL drones is easier if you place a tile synced to your phone.

hey Andy, just wanted to say that I love your videos. I just purchased some 800Ds. Also, lucky you with that nice field to fly in :)
Now I'm curious... what are your most reccomended goggles for under 150 dollars?
Hi! thanks for the review! I'm looking for my first fpv goggles and I'm trying to decide between this two. My concern is that I use glasses for miopy. I tried the Skyzone v01 from a friend and I can see perfectly with them. Do you think that I can use any of this? which one would be better? thanks!!
You CAN wear glasses with these. Requires a bit of tweaking, other reviews can help you.
Andy, does it feel nose heavy with the battery built into the front of the goggle compared to the VRd2? Coz the one thing the VRd2 got spot on was the smaller size and light weight.
Does that extra heft from the built-in battery get uncomfortable after some time?

SeBy DocKy thanks for the info
Not mentioned is how you format the SD card? I see no way to do that internally? Perhaps I’m missing something?
Do you reckon they still worth it in early 2020?
Excellent non biased review friend👍
Questions: what quad are you flying with/recommend & Camera?
Do you recommend this google over the Fatshark Recon v3 or the fatshark is a better overall googles?
Most standard reading glasses will fit on inside edge of view opening which will compensate for near sighted folks. It seems to close for healthy eye use even though you may adjust hold goggles at distance to see differennce and use reading glasses glued in with silicone if req' Good dvr compared to v2 fatshark doms
Great review. That might just be all I need to purchase one. I have an RC glider that uses a 7.2v battery. What camera set up would you suggest?
Thanks for the review, Andy! You do great work!
hi there, i just got my ev800d, i noticed that your antennas are in different position with the antennas pictured in the box of the goggles, thus this mean it can be mounted either way? thanks
To record on the D2 you don't need to go into the menu. In your normal fpv feed the record button works aswell, you just don't see that it is recording unless you check or keep track.
Bas M. Very astute! I figured that out as well- does your dvr ever refuse to boot up? Mine is tempermental- pita
Almost ready to buy the 800d
Great video. Not knowing and completely new to FPV I ordered the LS-008D goggles as they were cheaper and I will be flying the eachine e013 inductrix clone with them. I hope they work well enough for a newbie.
Thanks, only con I would say is the SMA style connector....
What's wrong with SMA?
hi there, what size is a standard fpv flight (3-4min)? how big should your sd card be?
Hi Andy could you help me with a problem that I'm running into with SD cards that I'm trying to use with the Eachine VR D2 Pro 5 Inches 800*480 40CH 5.8G Diversity FPV Goggles DVR . I keep getting a "card full" notice when I plug in my cards? Everything from a 16GB up to 64GB cards???? Help!
hi Andy. what would be the best antenna combination for a diversity Rx? I have the aomway Commander and the patch seems to be crap... thanks.
Yeah, went with the Quanum Diversity...Mo bettah.
Thanks a lot for the review. Are they more comfy for the eyes then VR D2 Pro? Because i have the VR D2 Pro and they strain my eyes. Thank's!
i think they are more comfy yes
He what do you recommend for + - 60 euros, brushless drone? (3s possible)
good vid as always :)
What type of SD card is required? I have a Class 10 64gb, and goggles either keep turning off, or will say CARD ERROR, THEN POWER OFF.... PLEASE help us, I see im not the only one with this issue.
Hi Andy, love your videos :) I have a quick question : I have a Fatshark Teleporter V3 (really old, bad qvga quality, etc..). Should I replace it with a 800D ? Will the range really be better ?
what would be a good upgrade in terms of antennas for the Eachine EV800D goggle?
I bought some HD3s, they were faulty like yours and I sent them back to be repaired but they were still totally crap so they went back to the store. I'm now looking for the best "box style" I can buy and price isn't an option even though these cheap goggles seem to work great. Do you have any recommendations for box style? Have you seen the eyebox fpv5 race?
David Miller havent used the headplays but check out the headplay SE its has dvr and seems good on paper
I've got some similar from Shinehalo and the viewing angle from the right eye gives aus dark inverted image. Also the antennas have no effect in receiving quality. So BEWARE! I hope it is not the case with the original Eachine?
Hi,.. I’m having an issue getting the DVR to work properly,... should the red recording light in top right stay solid red when recording? Should it blink? How do I know it’s recording?
Stay solid red
Can i see anything on the EV800D googles if the eachine EV006 display is too near for me?
I had to glue a reading glasses there with hot glue before I could fly with EV006
Its the hell to fly with that, now i need a alternative.
I dont want to scrap 80€ if its the same with EV800D.
Thanks :=)
Andy Rc do you think it's worth me upgrading from my Ev800 without diversity? I find them very comfortable and brightness and resolution to be great. My current set do not have diversity and I get great reception even better then friends with fat sharks. I can only imagine the diversity would be even better
I moved from the original to the D's, I can tell you the reception gets a lot better, may I ask what antennas you run on the goggles and copter?
I am running a set of aomways and sometimes pagodas on the quad with the aomway on the goggles. My buddies can't believe how bright the screen is and the reception quality over their fatsharks with diversity!
After watching your review on the Eachine 800D here. I'm gonna go with it! Thanks for the great comparison video! I have one question!! Will these goggles work with the Kingkong ET 115 that I just ordered??
Please anyone!?
Yes
I have an Aomway camera on the way for my Traxxas Aton. Will these goggles work with that camera?
don ashfield it depends I would say u should go with the same company when buying googles. I bot a x220 and it seemed to be able open to more options on another eachine device, if I was u I would buy a aomway commander
Thanks for the review, I have question regarding reception quality, is it better than the vrd2 or is it similar? Thanks for your answer
they are both the same in that regards and both very good
Cool so I don't have to trade my vrd2 for the ev800d ;-)
EV800D or VR D2 Pro, which one is better? I've heard that vr d2 pro has poor range even having diversity
Is the Battery to Chance with the EV800D? Greets! (:
Those or the eachine goggles 2? Which is the better one?
I'm having real trouble to put it on my head, they don't feel comfortable at all, somehow they are slipping off at the back of my head, I'm used to the Eachine V007 which are like glued to the face but they don't have all the other good features like diversity, screen resolution, DVR etc.

Johnus Johnson So the EV800 or EV800D? How does it feel on your head and is it easy to use? Is it worth it, or should I save for the ~100-150$ USD goggles?
Andy do you think these would be okay for people who wear reading glasses?
You will have to go with fatsharks for far sighted. Cheers
Nice bit of flying
Hi andy thanks for your professional review, can you measure of the inside the goggles please because I wearing small glasses so i appreciate if you do that. thank you
hello i just got a pair of eachine ev800 goggles and i can not get the to work on my Visou sx809w quadcpter. iy cant find the frequency, any ideas, its fully charged up. i hope i can use these with this drone. any help would be appreciated.
keep up the good reviews. Sincerely, Wayne D. Greenlee
Which cameras are compatible with EV800D? I want to buy this system but I do not know which camera should I buy. Does AIO 5.8G 40CH 25MW VTX 800TVL 1/3 Cmos FPV Camera work?
All analog 40 channel VTX chips should be good for EV800D because it supports both NTSC and PAL and allows switching between 16:9 and 4:3.
I wish I would've had DVR playback when I lost my Lizard95 in long grass on it's maiden. Hello EV800Deeeeeeeeeeeeezzzz....nu.... ;P
How does the DVR playback work? I use mine to find lost quads. Is it possible to change playback speed and play backwards? Is this awkward?
It would be great if you setup a camera when you review goggles and monitors, so we can see what video looks like instead of static the whole time. Thanks for the review.
+leorleorleorleor made that mistake before and burnt out vtx's it's not always as straight forward as you think ;-)
andyRC be honest are these better then the vrd2 pro ???? ive seen the vdr2 pro have bad reception
the reception is same on both on mine and both great
uavfutures did a full review of the VRD2 pro and siad they were horrible bad reception , have you seen the video ? is he right or maybe he got a bad unite , am in the uk manchester and want to get into FPV but i want the right goggles as am on a budget thanks andy
Would u recommend cobra X over ev800d?
AndyRC why did you switch the antenna location? on the original box its the other way around.
its specific to my flying field thx
hi, eachine ev800(D or M) + syma w 1 pro is it good combination? will it work?
Hi Andy
Just getting started with race quads and got a wizard x220 as intro to the hobby will be flying with app on smart phone to begin but obviously I'm in the market for some fpv goggles. I wear glasses so am limited to the box type. I'm on a budget so as many do not want to waste money but also can't really justify spending a huge amount of money. I've done a bit of looking into different makes and came across a company called Crazepony who have a set of goggles that seem to be supplied with better antennas so no need to buy extra parts to get them do the job they are meant to do unlike most budget products where you end up buying extra or swapping out parts to make them work properly.
Have you ever reviewed any products from this company as there isn't many reviews for these goggles. Any comments/opinions would be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance Clive
Andy rc would these be a decent upgrade from the 007 pros??
Yes thx
received mine today, and it was DOA... just my luck haha. The power button is broken (as in, the actual switch bit soldered to the board). More than likely getting a replacement sent out. Looks good not powered on :P
Is this only for drone?
is it still worth to buy?
great review as always, just wanted to say thank you for mentioning that you can't wear glasses with either of these goggles since I do wear glasses, do you happen to know of a goggle that I can wear my glasses with. Thanks
This is a great question. I would like to know what brand of goggles a wearer of glasses can use, also
Eachine just released a pair that they say is specifically designed for people with glasses.

Kigai11 Quanum Cyclops V1 or V2 from HobbyKing. I have the V1's and they are very good, and the V2's are a lot better and with a lot more features including a even better picture quality.
Thanks for the replies they are greatly appreciated.
13:35 How do you do that...turning upside down/twisting? do you need to turn hard and also come off the accelerator?
Tou can do it with acro/air mode
Which glasses are better the eachine 800d or the Eachine VR D2 Pro?
+Alx Menendez I think I prefer the 800d
Very nice review, I like these. Have to save up and get them.
I have a pair. They're good for box goggles.
Andy:
An outstanding presentation, videography, and comparison. Told me almost everything I needed to know!
What kind of wall plug does the charger come with? I need a USA style 110-120 Volt AC type.
Jim
+James C Eastep mine came with us plug cheers
How do you switch these out of Avi mode back to diversity or vice versa
Is there a way to plug this into your computer for sims?
Does the dvr only record the fpv.
Do you know what the range is for these?
EV800D or VrD2 Pro which is better ? I undecided
800d for me
But why. Is 800d better for range or what ?
More simple buttons
Great review, thanks! Very helpful.
awesome! was hoping for a good review bc mine come in tomorrow lol
is this basically the LS - 800D?
He mentions that you can't wear glasses with these, why not? Isn't that the point of this style of goggle?
Thanks for the review!!
Great Review, Thanks, Have you tried to connect then to a PCthru a HDMI2AV converter?, it works with other goggles but may not work this these ones

Anyone has a black screen problem on these goggles? I struggle a lot to get them connected to my drone frequency because they frequently just show a flat black screen instead of the image. I have to change frequency on the drone and keep searching on the goggles until finally I can see the image. It's annoying because sometimes it takes five or ten minutes of me changing channels to finally have an image. Any help?
Eachine EV800D DVR problem
When inserting micro SD card in goggles (not drone), a vision signal is losing after 10sec. In fact, power is automatically shut down. Then I need to press a power button to turn on. Without using a microSD card, the vision signal seems to be stable.
My friend bought the same, and had same issue. He asked Eachine to send new one due to initial failure.
In conclusion, please tell me how to fix a problem if anyone had same issue. I use beta flight, Beta65X HD, Frsky. Otherwise I may need to ask Eachine company to send me new one!!
How to change the aspect ratio?
Andy I left a comment at your qx90c video.
How do i change it?
I am forced to buy the EV800D because the other vr008 and those bunch's AV input is compatible with no receivers in the market. But I need the AV input from receiver on the car roof so that I can hide inside my car while the deed is done. Real pros always hide in the car. Look up Mark Spencer Blackpool .
look up marc getting fined for flying over alton towers ;)
Started to make a small comment and it turned into a book detailing my decision.. so it would be documented for me somewhere if needed or in case a stupid amount of research helps out some other poor bastard like myself look in the sub 100 dollar range: I've researched until I'm about to pass out.. (If I told you how long you would not believe me anyway... what I do to save 10 bucks is ridiculous). I think I will go with these 800d's for my first pair. RC is getting better and cheaper all the time, if later I decide I like other tech. Not a good move for me to go with something expensive now. Diversity and DVR were important and the DVR is easy to use here vs other offerings. Lots of people liked the screen. If for some reason I am too farsighted, ebay sells extensions for these. Down the line these are easiest for others to use as both a goggle or monitor (as a spectator, _guaranteed_ to work one way or the other for any sight challenged person). Monitor mode is also great for reviewing the dvr while looking for your lost aircraft (..ya know... for... a "friend") ｡(*^▽^*)ゞ
I found that to be a big plus none others really offered. You can watch through others but you pretty much need to put them on and can't show others while you do it. You can walk and search while you watch. The battery in front seems like the big downside to something already long and large.. "and BLACK! (ﾉ^∇^)ﾉﾟ ....No? (๑•́ ₃ •̀๑) .... Tough crowd, tough crowd. I'll show myself out." But no one seems to realize you can simply *remove* it and _use the cable it came with for this purpose,_ to mount the battery in the back or in your pocket or wherever you like... or use a larger battery too! If for some reason I am incorrect and it needs the forward battery to work, there is no reason you could not extend the wires to wherever you like if you are handy. If you are not handy or rich? Stop... step away, slowly, from RC right now. So this model is clearly the most practical choice.. without being able to actually put a bunch of pairs on in person and try them.. (who knows maybe they will make me sick haha.)
This was my roundup:
-EV800d: see above.
-ev100: very narrow FOV (28-30). more expensive. No DVR.
-ev800: no diversity or dvr.
-VRD2 pro: The benefit of a battery in the back is because (for reasons already stated)...not a benefit the 800d's _don't also_ have... Unless you are a moron. (Morons would not read this far so you're good... probably). Don't come apart for other types of viewing. The diopter adjustment sounds like most people almost always adjusted it all the way to the same distance the 800d are anyway. Crappy dvr navigation. Overall only a slightly lower choice for me, even if I sound like I'm ripping them. Both VRD2 and 800d were reported in many different places to have very good reception for a cheap goggle. If I had to guess, these two would tie for top place on my list for reception, and probably have identical guts. Both were reported by many who have since upgraded to still be a favorite they bring along, and a no regret buy. I think the non pro version or some earlier version had fake diversity but I'm stretching my memory now. (2 antenna but only one receiver.)
-VRD3: Adjustment almost always all the way out for people.. which is about the same length or comfort level as these 800d's from what I gathered. Smaller 3 inch screen. Lighter though. Was the runner up for me. (advertised 900x600).. lies, actual is 960x480. (which is not terrible, just sayin).
-Topsky prime 1s: Company completely lies about specs... I mean, I think like all these china goggles do.. (which pisses me off).. but these guys went way out there. Never buy from Topsky. They need to die slowly in a fire for the sake of our species, thank you for your service.
-Some DIY goggles that people liked I don't remember. Quanum?: very cheap, but discontinued it seems or I likely would have done that.
-Hacking up some cheap model to have it all for way less: I'm good with this kind of thing and this made sense for who I am the best, but even I backed out here. It is probably best to know more about the tech first. Following along with vague suggestions people explained, about terms I was just learning had me quit that route. Your mileage may vary. More power to ya.
-fatshark recon: non diversity and apparently garbage... plus I hate group-think-crazes, I'm pissed at Fatshark for taking such a huge advantage of this temporary monopoly they have and charging probably 8 times what they need to so some jerk can drive the newest Jaguar. ( ︶︿︶)_╭∩╮ I'll wait till tech jumps more and prices come down until somebody offers something that can take them down... and I'll support them instead.
* These are all between like 45 and 110 US dollars. Even cheap ass me thought for those numbers, it was important to just choose whichever was best for me with no regard to price, so I'll just leave the prices out. You will make a better decision not looking at them. I'm likely cheaper than you are.. so take that for what it is worth. I also probably forgot some points by this time, but the overall should be there.
Last point: I did see a comment or two about NON Eachine ev800d's being sub-par, which you can find cheaper. I don't know it if is true that those are sub-par.. I would usually chance it.. but not this time. (grats, your the one guy who made it through all that). (•̀ᴗ•́)و ̑̑ (￣^￣)ゞ
Hi,Andy..can you do review of a TOPSKY PRIME 1S FPV GOOGLES?
So... do they have a video in?
Yes, but I connected them to a HDMI2AV converter, and then to a PC using an HDMI cable, but I can't see the PC image on the goggles even as the PC identify the converter as a 720P monitor
REPLY
Jose Veiras I dont have a hdmi2AV but have you plugged everything correctly? And does it have a in or out option?
Jose Veiras AND also did you switch to "AV" in the goggles by pressing the "SRC /MENU" button?
Thanks for your reply, I have check everything twice, in addition in this video about the EV100, by DroneRacer101 ua-cam.com/video/9TDz9HK99YE/v-deo.html he mention that he was able to do it with the EV100 but not with the EV800D
Yes, I did. Actually I have ordered the EV800 to be sure, I will need two googles anyway. Thanks
Great review! I ordered ev800d and I was thinking about paying 250~$ for commanders, but for the price these seems to be just great deal
andy can you do range test on both ??????????
worrior4ever what has the range to do with the goggle?
Joe Gonzales depends on the sensitivity of the reciever.
has everything , if the reciver is crap then you get crap range
ev800 is more comfy and perfect for my eyes, screens seems more smooth. vr d2 screen is alittle too close to the eyes, had to double up the sponge of better material to make it good even the lens was all the way back. images are abit rough. i think ev800d wins just by a point.... more comfy.
vr d2 diversity is good for me... well compared to the ev800 not pro... idk how good the ev800d diversity are.
I got mine today, for some reason the Plug of the charger was a US type.. i live in Europe, now i have to buy an adapter, cheers banggood
check the packaging sometimes they tape an adapter to the box, mine had one!
AndyRC holy crap you're right, I just fished mine out of the trash, thanks a lot!
yeah that happened with me too
Very nice.
Have u recieved the x220s
no still not been shipped thanks
k thx
HumzaPlayz received
wow i thought the vrd2's are more expensive. that seem like better goggles to me, vrd2 feels a thousand times better on the face.
mine are ordered
Can anyone tell me why I cannot use these if I wear glasses please...thanks.
I think it is just the amount of room "inside" the googles that may be a problem if your glasses are too big
