I buy there sorry...
Fat Shark Scouts have the slots on the sides for glasses. The Cobra come lately has obvious similarities in layout.
I’m so excited that Skyzone has brought the box goggle up to date! I’m one of the seemingly few who likes the immersive FOV of box goggles, I can’t wait for mine to arrive. Thanks for the great review and stay safe.
Go to your local vape shop ... 18650 s are readily available
Yes!!! I honestly just bought the CobraX's last night but I've been waiting for your review on them. So happy to see this today.
In same boat mine has been shipped the 5!
Finaly a set of box goggles that take modules!
That is a feature, I likely should have made a bigger point of.
Yeah I feel for box goggle users, has been to long of a wait for a module compatible goggle. Not sure why as I see they are very popular with pilots all over especially with glasses wearers.
Wow! 2 Omni's Rapid Fire vs 2 Linear antennas Rapid Mix? I better get this box goggle type. Slim/google type-goggles, not a fan, I get dizzy. And its a plus points for the removable receiver.
I think that given that the antennas are rubble the CobraX is a very good product. I would like to see the Orca with those rubish antennas on to compare.
Honestly I'm happy with my eachine ev800ds they do their job and they do it well
I'm really glad I started with the 800d's. A good-enough setup for 1/8th the price of a 'pro' setup. I upgraded the antennas and still haven't found the end of my range yet.
Same, but im a little scared the screen will just go black on me one day while im flying tho lol.
@@SlipperyBannana that's the only problem to be fair is when it runs out of battery it just goes black but if you have a spare lipo on handv you can plug it in there and you'll be fine
Was also very happy with the EV800DM, nice to see box goggles stepping up a bit because fatsharks aren't for everyone.
The module in these is the same module in the Skyzone 04X. I've seen comparisons between the Skyzone 04X and FatShark HD02 w/ Rapidfire but this is the first time I've seen these box goggles compared with the high end Orqa w/Rapidfire. Good review Nick.
Being a glasses wearer these would be my choice if I was looking for sub $300 goggles and if one looks around the prices vary, Banggood had them at $184,49 using code BGCobrasx (coupon code has to be applied in shop’s cart after clicking “Proceed to checkout”).
Good to see Syzone making box goggles for boof heads that wear glasses. I bought their earlier GS500's and they were so narrow they were impossible to use. Might give these new ones a try.
Other similar goggles? FatShark Scout: Around $200 box goggles with built in diversity (unfortunately internal patch only replaceable by modding the goggles... you can however switch the second antenna which is connected to a standard SMA connector) and a 60fps DVR (not Orca exclusive :) ). They also are powered by one 18650 cell, the screen has a 1136x640 resolution (little bit less than the cobra x) and a 50° FOV. Also unfortunately they don't have an HDMI in, so no SharkByte on the Scouts... Just regarding the specs the Cobra X seems better, but I have no idea as I still am an FPV newbie :)
I love my Fatshark Transformer HD box goggles. The diopters make wearing my glasses unnecessary. I really like the large colorful image with these box goggles.
I thought the dvr was 60fps? Unless that’s the V1? I just ordered mine. V2 advertised 60fps dvr
Dad flying !!!! Should be on a shirt lol.
It should!
Great video Nick, I was wondering if you were planning on reviewing the jumper T lite transmitter?
Yes, I have been told one is being sent when they are ready
For anyone that might be looking into the Cobra X. For me the single 18650 got on my nerves. I started using the Anker Power core 10000mAh. It is light weight enough to not be an inconvenience and fits perfectly in my pocket. Make sure to use a USB-C to USB-C cable that is rated for high power delivery. I use the Anker 643 cable. 😉
an
Happy flying. 😊
Hi...how much run time you will get with a single 18650.
Hi Nick YEP Great googles for glasses. I l like that it takes a module, but I guess we can't fly together, I just fly race band 7, haha. I don't know about the head tracker, I plan on using it with my freedom fox but haven't had the chance.
Thanks again for the video and information.
Since I am just starting out in this hobby I bought an Eachine 007 little goggle and it is ok for in the house, but as I grow I am looking for a medium price range goggle. I may never get to where I could justify a $700+ goggle. Still I like the comparisons that you show here Nick
Hey nick for future use,any local tobacco or vape store would have the 18650's
Nick, I would be very interested in seeing this with proper antennas on....
Me too, I've been looking at these as an upgrade from the Emax box goggles...been using those for about a year now
Looks completely acceptable to me. If I needed to wear glasses while flying I'd be happy with those.
They look like a perfect beginner FPV goggle. Great reception and lots of great features. Shame they didn't make some plastic covers for the glasses slots, for people without glasses. I hope the foam helps with lightleak. Really good review 👍. I'm sticking with my EV200d for now, but I might get a better reciever for them, than the stock ones.
Thank you, appreciate this vid. Have been thinking and thinking what goggles I should start with and these seem good
Still really like my ftx vipers, though I am finally going to pull the trigger on DJI V2.0. Rapidmix would be great though.
I've been looking at these. Thanks for the in depth review!
I really enjoyed the side-by-side comparison between the rapid fire and the cobra-x rx. I own Fatshark Scouts (they are very similar to the Cobras) and I think they're great. The Cobra-x seems to be even better than the Scouts.
I think the scout is the only fatshark product to have a 60fps dvr.
I started with the ev800d. One I thought it was time to upgrade. So I got some skyzones. And I find them very uncomfortable. Even new foam inserts didn't help. I don't wear glasses either. I still like my ev800d better.
The ev800d has the screen slightly under the middle line of the eyes.. don't know if that matters. When I had other box googles my problem was always I was tired starring upside.. Believe that's the good thing with the ev800d's and that's why they are maybe so comfortable.
You can get the 18650 cell batteries from most vape shops.
If it did that good with crap antennas im glad i orderd the cobra x cause i got me some high end antennas for it, itll be perfect for my type of flying, not long range yet
Fantastic flying and review, Nick!!! 😃
Joshua Bardwell tested both receivers with good antennas and so on... And that freaking receiver beaten RapidFire. Not for much... But it did!
Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
whoa, that is a big accomplishment. Thank you for that information.
@@NickBurnsFPV Absolutely no problem. 😊
These look pretty nice, had I not already had goggles and the tbs fusion, they would be on my list. Thanks for the review Nick.
These are the goggles I plan to upgrade to they seem the be pretty damn good for box goggles
Wow! What a great goggle. I wear glasses and have been flying the Eachine EV800DM. Because of my prescription the ability to adjust the focal length is very important. I've put many hours of flying on mine and they have proved flawless in every way. But I am going to upgrade to the Cobra X. Hopefully the focal adjustment will not be a problem. Thank you for all your hard work. Love the channel.
With the glasses I would hope the focal adjustment wouldn't be needed.
The V2 of these goggles has served me amazingly well, so far
Vape shops and smoke shops sell 18650s ..vape shops will always have them
Nick, the Orca-x and the Fatshark Scout box goggles can be easily and quickly modded to accept prescription lenses. Just search youtube for "Fatshark Scout Diopter Mod". Best regards from Brasilia, Brazil.
Thanks for the hard work you've put into these reviews.
you have a very good skill flying in the house 👍🏼.
The Fat Shark Scouts can accommodate glasses much the same way with the slots on the sides. The Cobras are very similar in this way. Similar size, features vary.
do they. The images I see don't show a cutout, how are they accommodating? Just the standard width?
@@NickBurnsFPV -it’s because the filler foam is in place, needs to be removed. And the top and bottom pads form a seam there, unlike the Skyzone where the foam is gapped. The Skyzone looks somewhat of a copy of the slot design and overall shape and lenses. My plastic frame glasses are 5.25 inch across the front, and 1 3/8 tall, and loose in both directions. The width becomes about 5 7/8 inch at the arms, 2 inches out which is the depth of the slot. So is it also loose in the Skyzone. Let me know if you want me to measure anything for you or take a photo.
@@robertp7209 oh I do see that the foam narrows and maybe even comes to a point at the edges where the glasses arm would be. good to know they work glasses wearers as well.
Still love my headplay se v2 googles!! And there great with glasses!
👍
@@RADERFPV ✌✌
Awesome goggles my friend, They look like my SJRG01 Goggles that I wear. I can also wear wire frame glasses with them as well.. Cheers! 🖐️🤣
Wow, that video comparison to the Orqa is a very compelling argument for the Cobra X. It would be interesting to see if the Sharkbyte module would fit onto the Cobra X. If it does fit, it would make digital FPV more accessible to a lot of people. Great video Nick.
I would be surprised if the SB vrx would fit inside, we likely would need to attempt to mount behind the screen so reception isn't impaired.
It’s too bad they don’t make OLED box goggles.I have CobraX and with good antennas they do great.
Yeah, is it just me that thinks it looks better on the CobraX?
What a great "entry" googles, I was considering the SKY04L, but it's hard to spend the extra cash when considering I might want the HDZERO googles at the end of the year.
Great review, as always, thank you for your clarity and unbiased videos!
I think they do a really good job even when compared to RF. Pretty impressive IMO. Ill keep my RF though 😁
It looks nice, also the dvr footage is great.
Considering the Cobra is on stock antenna I'd bin the Orca Cobra has much clearer picture (Cobra runs Skyzone 04 electronics)
Hey Nick I found out the HDMI port size for the Skyzone Cobra S goggles and its"Mini HDMI port. Thnx for getting back to me!!
Glad you found what it is. I don't deal much in hdmi, I just gabbed a cable and it fit. I suspect if its mini than the standard must be the ones we use on TVs.
always so good review and you look just fine in glasses
Much nicer image from the Cobra
As someone who went from EV800D's to DJI the thing I immediately notice is the "fuzziness" on the rapidfire especially in the background trees when flying outside. Is this normal? Really appreciate that you use stuff for a while before making a review, instead of just using it an afternoon and calling it a day. Cheers for all your content.
I was also noticing the dvr difference. left that talking point out as I wasn't certain if my eyes were playing tricks on me or not. It did make me go back and double check the dvr sources
Good review......Image quality on the Skyzones look as good if not better than the Orca`s on this review....£167 as opposed to £500+ for the Orca`s....How good is that....Skyzone are hitting the spot on there whole range at the moment.
Although the reception on the cobrax was just ok, the dvr seemed to record quite well. It even looked sharper than the orcas.
I saw it this way as well.
I received a defective set, Banggood tells me I must find a local repair shop...
I should not be expected to repair a brand new product, under warranty with a 30-day refund/replacement guarantee, by a 3rd party electronic repair shop ( that does not exist in South Africa ) and Void the warranty in the process.
Loving it!
I would contact skyzone, I believe they have multiple authorized repair "centers", I am not sure they have one in South Africa.
@@NickBurnsFPV Thanks, Did it on Friday, I suppose I'll see this week. I have to apologize, Looking back on it now, it's super petty of me to use your channel as a platform to air my frustration. Your video was in their description of the goggles and they're blocking my 1-star review.
Without thinking, I posted it on your channel to make myself heard, I suppose, I don't know... but I sure didn't think you'd see this or even reply, and now I feel ashamed.
I love your work and you're an inspiration. Been a huge fan since I started FPV, May 2020 and googled why these little things fly so terrible. Only to learn from you and Patrick J Clarke that I needed a lot of practice. Thanks!
@@xeromool No worries, you have nothing to be ashamed of. I appreciate your reflection, and I understand your frustration. Customer service in this hobby is a struggle. Even good customer support in this hobby is painfully slow and frustrating. Even the biggest and best companies fail to serve some very well or completely miss the mark.
Another really good, through review !! Box goggles have stepped up their game. I have HDO's and I don't need glasses ( yet ) , but I can now suggest these to someone that needs their glasses !!
Thank you!
Would to see this box goggles with better quality antennas in for appreciate more the difference with Orca googles !
I don't believe you have them but will love a comparison with the Fatshark Scout (the one I use these days). The one big advange I see in the is the HDMI input.
Sorry. I do not have them anymore. I believe they were in a giveaway.
Cobra X is on my wish list because I have been looking into digital with sharkbyte. I think the Cobra X is the least cost with sharkbyte.
very likely. I think they can be hard to get. I think somehow skyzone may have used another companies design and have been forced to remove it from the market. I could be wrong on the details, but I noticed banggood didn't have the product on their site last I checked.
Yikes. Hurts a bit that’s $200 vs $700 and that’s stock antennas lol. Good comparison thank you def worth the cost
When I click the Bang good link it pulls up an error page that says 'Due to policy reasons, this product does not exist'
Been looking for a decent box goggle
I would not get the Quanum at this point in time, a bit outdated. These look much better. However, the other option for people with glasses are the goggles with focus adjusters like the eachine ev300o.
Or the goggles that you can just put cheap diopters in like most non boxed goggles
@@ValFPV There are no diopters readily available for those that need reading glasses. You need to order very expensive ones from Germany for that.
@@propwash6880 ah ok, didn't know that
I payed 158€ for the X today with the code "BGCobrasx"
from banggood?
@@kal5765 YES
Thanks for the great review!
I thought the specs on the DVR were h264 not mjpg.
cobra s is mjpeg cobra x is h264.
An other option: the Fatshark Scout that I'm using.
Are these a good option for be the first goggles?
hi Nick i hope you're well i have these goggles, im a bit confused on these, there's a menu i keep seeing online for the cobra x that shows 3 options but mine has lots more options, like tf normal/ rf race / clear view/ diversity, im not sure what they all mean, do you have any insights ? thankyou
I can really elaborate more than the manual does. its been a good long while since I have used these goggles. Page 5 of the manual describes the different modes cdn.shopifycdn.net/s/files/1/0597/9668/4956/files/COBRAUSERMANUALENSKYZONEXS20211123.pdf?v=1660200058
i wear glasses (far sighted with astigmatism) so goggles are a questionable proposition at best.... I fly with a monitor (eachine 10"). can you recommend a high end monitor? definitely willing to pay for quality but I keep coming blank in my research. Im surprised DJI doesn't make a proper HD monitor....
I don't have experience with fpv monitors that large. The Eachine moneagle is only 5" but I think is a nice one.
Great review Nick!
Thank you
Nice, i was looking at those if ever needed, i still have HD3s and have diopters on those. Figure if i upgrade, i will have to 3d print my own diopter setup for whatever goggles i get. Gf has been getting into FPV and she has thick glasses, so I figure a box goggle like this will be needed. I buy after market batteries and generally get good results out of each batch. I check them thoroughly for resistance and rate them on the website
can u share how to 3d print ur own diopter setup?
@@rodrigoparula1328 hey, what goggles were you looking at?
Search youtube for "Fatshark Scout Diopter Mod". Easy and cheap way to attach prescription lenses to the Cobra-x or to the Fatshark Scout.
@@KernsJW fatshark hd3
@@rodrigoparula1328 i used rho lens
So it's kinda hard to tell what you really think of these. I really wish you would have tried some better antennas, something more comparible or swapped the antennas between the two goggles to show a more comparible review. Because it seems like you're not giving the steadyview receiver a chance to show what it can do. I bought these but haven't taken them outside, I don't fly in the wet slushy weather we're having here in Michigan this year. I really hope you do another video on these, pretty please with some good antennas?
Its possible provided time and weather to do another test. I am a bit surprised to hear that its hard to tell how I feel about them. In short I think they are very good and very budget friendly for a highend box goggle.
@@NickBurnsFPV yeah sorry Nick, I paused the video about half way through to write that comment, then I continued watching it and figured it out. Sorry about that, I guess I need to watch the whole video before making my comment, its a bad habit of mine. But I always finish watching them after my comments. It's just easier because if the video goes to the end, then it automatically loads another video and I have to back track to get to the original video again. Just a little pain in the ass, but not that difficult I suppose. Great video btw, and I love seeing you buzz around while your kids are busy with their projects and they don't think anything about the drone zipping by them! It's good for a chuckle.
I think your vtx being at 400mw has a lot to do with the goggles comparing with a rapidfire so well, especially behind buildings.
Actually, the rapid mix is about as good as rapidfire in most comparisons when equal antennas are used.

Thanks nick. Have a good evening.
do you feel you must wear glasses to see clearly ? i use a 2x reader for small print but i can see just fine with my fatshark scouts without glasses .have you tried these without glasses? if so how was it ?
I don't wear glasses when I am in the goggles. I have mild nearsightedness
Ordered CobraX Black on Jan 07 at banggood, still processing...
Btw, please do the test with SharkByte, thank you.
test with sharkbyte? use sharkbyte on these googles?
On this flights u was using the cobras or just recording with it?
I can't say specifically. During my testing sometime I was using them and other times not. I would need to rewatch to see if I can tell which goggles I have on. I am sitting at the table if that helps.
The Cobra X has better colors and clear picture.
The receiver isn't completely new , it is in the sky04x , and it's really good
Weren't both those goggles launch nearly at the same time? I have the 04x, but haven't used them enough yet.
@@NickBurnsFPV i think the sky 04x were like a solid month before , but I cold be wrong , the receiver (or something like reeeealy simular) is in the ev300o or however that are called , which they were relased a sold month before sky04x . I recently bought the sky04x and they are great , if you are doing a review of them could you include how they pair with shark byte please ? Since that's probably my next move
@@nistax2880 Ah, your following closely I see. I wasn't aware the ev goggles also had the module. I will look at the SB side of things.
@@NickBurnsFPV it's called rapid mix but it literally looks exactly the same as the stedy view , there are like component level differences I think but it's essential the same thing
@@NickBurnsFPV and yeah I did my research before I bought them
You sir are very good at flying whoops
Thank you
The new V2 does 60fps, and cost me $170.00,
Yes, that is a nice improvement. I think skyzone is sending me a board to make the set I have 60fps dvr. I look forward to that.
I’m about to get these goggles, what’s a good controller and learner type quad I can fly outdoor with this? I’m completely new to fpv btw
Have you held a radio in your hands? There is so many different sizes, the traditional radio would be the radiomaster TX16 series, then we have the smaller but still square of the radiomaster TX12, and last the gamepad style like the radiomaster zorro or the jumper t-lite. All of these come in at least two versions, a 4in1 version that has the ability to fly a host of different radio protocols, some better than others. Also an ELRS version. ELRS is an outstanding control protocol, but it does have more we have to do to ready the receivers for binding, its pretty straight forward after we have done it a few times, but its something to consider. I suggest doing some research on expresslrs and if the steps don't seem to bad I suggest that protocol.
@@NickBurnsFPV Nope ive never held a radio but going off size the TX12 looks good. Im used to gamepads but dont know if i'll be using my thumb to fly or pinching so i might just go with the TX12. Yes im thinking ELRS too cause the main reason im getting into FPV is to fly long range. I'll check some more about the steps required to bind ELRS. Thanks for the detailed response 👍
@@styrofoamx229 The tx12 being smaller will also pack a bit better for those hikes into long range nirvana.
For glasses, the fxt viper v2 are very hard to beat
yep fxt viper are way better than this even hawkeye little pilot is better
The Vipers are WAY bigger. Not a great feature for me who wants to throw them in a small backpack
Is there a way to output audio from the goggles without audio jack?
A way maybe but it would involve a high degree of electronic knowledge and diy solution
Oh and btw I like the picture better than my skyzone o2c's
Will this work with Wifi drones or are you just stuck with your phone for your picture ?
No these don't work with wifi drones.
@@NickBurnsFPV Thanks
Nick, could you check what is the weight with the battery and stock antennas?
I can't find that info anywhere.
I get nearly 418grams

Would the cobra x be a good upgrade from fatshark attitude v3? Better image quality?
I haven't had the attitude goggles, but I do think the image quality would be better on the cobra x
These are really nice got mine yesterday. Was using dji with the adapter and this easier plus the hdmi in is nice. The dji foam from pyro the 6.99 one fits really nice as does the dji strap and the original dji foam that really isn't great fits these and makes them amazing. I also have the Scouts which I like but the resolution is so much better if your on the fence it's worth the moola.
good information there. Thank you for taking the time.
fpvgirl ,i been looking for a real user review just like you stated .i have scouts as well and been wondering if these look better .
@@fnkycoldmedina they are far better than the scouts resolution wise they look better than dji with a module far better actually and sadly alot better than the scouts plus there's a million adjustments you can make just like regular skyzones. They work with SharkBite but the image is just really small super clear but small. The padding sucks I would buy the cheap dji padding from pyro drone it's 7 bucks. Only thing that sucks is they eat the 1 battery super fast like 15 minutes even with an expensive molicel in them but I leave them plugged into a power bank and unplug them if I wanna stand up or whatever. Buy them you will be blown away. And they updated the firmware on them to fix some issues
@@RubyS.1 ok cool ,thanks for the fast reply . i also asked you this question on your channel page . firmware update for the rx? where you get it at? i heard battery life wasnt great . the scouts only last about 40 minutes too i think . maybe an hour . i usually only fly like 4 runs when i go outdoors with my 5 inch quads .
@@RubyS.1 link to the actual foam you purchased? i looked around over there but there's quite a few .and how was fitment?

Do you have that problem with the cobra x, when the picture rolls to the right and it goes black?
Could you tell mi the fix if you can?
I do not have the goggles any longer. I have read of that problem which isn't specific to Skyzone or the cobra goggles. The typical fix is a firmware update to the receiver.
Thanks! I will update it this evening.
It worked thanks Nick!
Hi there do you know the size of the HDMI port in the Cobra S goggles?
I believe its a standard sized hdmi cable, its sure not nano sized.
I wear glasses & I use fat shark scout to fly with my glasses on, I’m planning to get the skyzone cobra-x but only if it has lower latency than the fat shark scout. Could you please help me out with my query.
I don't believe there will be a latency difference. Fatshark makes high quality goggles. Curious your feeling a latency? Does it happen with or without recording dvr footage? By chance is the latency specific to a quad with on board hd recording?
The cobra x actually has pretty high latency. Look up the test on UA-cam.
Now in my 40’s, I NEED to wear a set of readers to even read my cell phone.. My single biggest complaint about this hobby is why don’t they make goggles so your glasses can be worn?? So many people need glasses these days.. I use a set of Skyzones 03x goggles. Other than switching to box goggles, is there anything I can do to help?? I am told that diopter inserts will not help me. My readers have to be 2.5 X for me to see good..
That is the ONLY reason I have not invested in the DJI digital system. I don’t think glasses will fit under them..
There is a german company that makes custom diopters that would essentially be the same as the lenses in your glasses. They are expensive though, like $90. I don't recall the name of the company. This might be them rho-lens.com/rho-lens-fpl-v2/
@@NickBurnsFPV Thank you for that info. It is enough of a problem that I am willing to spend the $90 to get whatever I have to.. It’s a German company huh..

Why are you using the stock anrenas tho ? The liner antenas are garbage and I mean who doesn't omnies
I didn't until a week ago. Honestly, not a whole lot of difference all things considered...
Cobra x at £170ish
Eachine ev800dm £60ish
Which ones would you get for medium range 1-2km?
If you want to fly at that distance I would get the most expensive goggles and patch antenna you can afford. I wouldn't use the 800dm at that distance.
@@NickBurnsFPV thanks dude
The latency is twice the ev300o with the same module, no idea how they achieved that with half the screens. They probably run the same hardware, after all. If it wasn't for that, I would've already ordered them. The EV800D is still a great goggle after two years of cruising and bruising my quads, but the FOV is just a little too wide for me to commit to the right hand moves, as I only have one working eye. I can't see the right hand side properly. I know manufacturers release firmwares to fix issues, but I'm still to see a goggle to get an update that fixes a latency without compromising something else . . which is why I'm sad they botched this one. I'd rather buy the DJI goggles and run analog signal through them, the difference is only 10ms to these on that kind of setup.
I would've ordered them as well if they had sub 15-20ms latency
Have you tried the ev800dm's? Much smaller screen :)
@@ValFPV Apparently they had fuzzy screen and I already have the ev800d, I'd rather mod these to accept the modules. The fatshark scouts had fringing issues due to the mirror setup this one uses but nobody has mentioned it yet, so guess they figured that one out on these. It's not like the latency is 100ms but it's too obvious of an oversight, too 🤷♂️
is it still worth it in 2024?
Skyzone hasn't released new box goggles since these, so yes unless there is something else your thinking of.
Can the cobra x diversity module be replaced tbs vusion?🤔
we can, but I believe we lose the ability to control the module with the goggle batteries, we have to use the buttons on the module.
@@NickBurnsFPV all right
