Thanks for this comparison! I currently own the EV800D and I like it, but for longer range it really sucks, I find that the breakup while flying is very sudden. I don't feel to safe with it.
That was actually one of the reasons why I upgraded to the Rapidfire module. Nice side effect, the clearer and smaller picture made my flying somewhat more precise.Only downside is the less immersive feeling, but it's not worth thinking about. Happy flying Andrés!
Likewise. Had to disarm 3 times already due to complete video loss just all of a sudden. They are great box goggles and actually i like the immersion... just got Sky04l and sofar I don't love them and the binocular vibe looking thru them... apparently i will get used to them... lets see.
Hi! nice video. I loved my ev800 till recently that they have seen abruptely reduced their range! its very strange, i've tried everything (antenas, several quads/vtxs, battery...) and nothing. Range is muuuch reduced than before. Any ideas? now I have the ofer for a pair of HDO's with rapidfire at 300usd. Do you say that today, at 2022 its still a good bet?
Absolutely, get them! I'm still not convinced to get another set of goggles, got the immersionrc powerplay for better dvr recording and soon I'll upgrade to hdzero and I'm good for another year or so. I guess that the receiver is going bad in your 800's, keep them for testing Video or betaflight settings on your workbench, way more convenient then to put goggles on and off all the time. Appreciate your comment mate, Happy flying!
I’m struggling with the same decision. I found a set of hd3’s for 180 .. or EV800D for 75. Sounds like the ev’s are better quality but bad range and not for racing. Sucks that Fatshark didn’t use nicer screens for analog
Hey, I used two rhcp pagoda on both goggles at the same time. Still my setup today when I fly close proximity, when I fly through buildings or further away I switch one Pagoda for a patch antenna.
I know u uploaded this quite a while ago, but how much difference is there in screen size... like how would you compare the two? is the hdo way smaller?
Hey Mitx, thanks for your question. I was very afraid to switch from the EV800D to fatshark of the very same reason. I had no chance testing goggles before purchasing them, so I just placed the order knowing that HDO'S sell pretty well. If you compare the two within a pack you can definitely feel that the Fatshark screens are smaller, BUT I am way more focused and after just some flights I cant go back anymore. For me a definitive go. The picture is great, sharp, I can see much more details and so I can fly much better. Don't get me wrong, the EV800D are gorgeous for the price, but the fatshark goggles are completely on a other level. I don't regret the purchase at all. If you got a chance, get em!
Hey IO, elrs wasn't around when I made that video. It is just showcasing the difference in receiving the analogue video signal between the built-in receiver from the EV800D and the Rapidfire module.
Not at all within close proximity. But at "long" range or penetration through walls it is significant better. Only downside is that the DVR is awful. But I recommend the Fatsharks anyway, make me feel more secure when I'm flying on unknown locations. Thanks for your question 😁👍🏻
@@DMarko22 Thanks for the answer. New to the hobby and trying to figure out the goggle thing. I'm interested in the new EV800DMs that are supposed to come out this month. Don't want to break the bank on goggles at this point and still need to learn to fly...(LOS on Velocidrone has proven I need tons of work!)
@@thebikeracer I didn't know that the EV800D got an update!If they perform as the older one plus the upgrade it got this should be a no brainer! I flew over two years with box goggles, just upgraded to Fatsharks because of the portability aaaaand the little less weirdness factor when I'm flying somewhere around people. It's a great Goggles mate, preorder it! And have some great time flying fpv, it is amazing! Btw. *Advert* Check out my other videos or social media content on Instagram, Facebook or Twitter 😉
@@DMarko22 Fuck people....fly what you want when you want.. just goes to show fatshark, hence the name.....big fish, is all about maximum profits even if thier products are substandard. smaller companies however like, eachine, skyzone, ect focus on delivering the same product at almost 40% cheaper.. it might not have the fancy packaging , but its all the same tech inside this shit...
@@k1ortia The only thing that fatshark has on the competition is the module bay. That never stopped me from de-pinning the stock receiver from my cheap eachines and hard wired in a fatshark module. I can go over a mile out with my vr006 now lol. I plan on getting a pair of skyzones and rigging a fatshark module into them.
If after 4 years you still have that rapid fire module. I’ll buy it off you. I have the exact same goggles but don’t want to pay the same Amount for the module lol. Please and thanks 🫶🏼

for longer range use best VTX!!

I just switched from EV800d's too! Hdo's are amazing in comparison haha
Right! You won't believe that if you don't try it out by yourself.
Do you wear glasses or contacts?
@@emilgabl9069 Neither of it.
Damn i am looking for a looong range googles fpv set what is recommendet? How is the range on the eachine ev800d. It doesnt matter if it is illegal
i've already tested ev800d rrached 470mts with a tiny whoop.
Did you test them with the same antennas ? Which antennas you used on each googles?

Why EV800D have best quality?
Just because fatshark dvr sucks! It drops frames and is overall looking bad
Are they both elrs?
Edit: do fpv goggles even have elrs or wtver reciver stuff or is it just one type that works with all analog
Hey IO, elrs wasn't around when I made that video. It is just showcasing the difference in receiving the analogue video signal between the built-in receiver from the EV800D and the Rapidfire module.
@@DMarko22 wait, so the ev1800d wont work with an elrs drone?
@@ironoreiron If the video tx is analogue it will work.
@@DMarko22 letssss gooooo, if only radios were also like that, no elrs, no cross fire or frsky, just one!
@@ironoreiron It definitely can get somewhat overwhelming at first but you'll get the hang of it pretty soon. But I get the point, it can be a pita 😄
wow
Besides the breakup on the other side of the house, is there really that much of a difference?

Why EV800D is better?
Better DVR!
DVR cant show the real differences between the two. Oled with properly calibrated rapidfire will always be better
The video was all about the DVR quality buddy, range and signal penetraton is a whole other story.
25mw??
Yes Sir.
@@DMarko22 the EV800D has an excellent reception
@@raibuzatto9565 Absolutely right, still the best boxed goggles in my opinion.
Both horrible :D
For analog perfect!
