Nice review! I didn't hear if you mentioned it or not but it appeared to have a built-in fan on the bottom of the goggles? Also, I would think that if they were going to include a DVR in the goggles whether it's AOMWay or Fatshark they should record to a minimum resolution of 720x480 especially since some are using wide screen displays. Most of the FPV cameras that I use are higher than 640x480 resolution.
Hi I have the TBS Tango with the FPV Screen it has a special cable (RJ45) that sends video feed and power to the googles, do these Aomway googles work with this cable?
Do a review of these. I have them and love them. Only thing is only 32 channel. Have built in DVR, 2 to 4 S. Video in/out Can wear glasses with them. Has Frequency scan to scan before you plug in you VTX. Has Diversity RX. What more could you want for 200 bucks?
Hey bud question what settings were ur gopro set at? Superview? Video stab? Quality? Lol i just wanna know what u seem to like, as well as what this was shot at
Hi great review I'm using eachine goggles two at the moment but looking for something a bit smaller and don't want to pay the price of fat shark goggles. I'm very new to all this fpv equipment so I have no technical knowledge. If I get the goggles you have reviewed I'll up grade the antenna like you did. Please can you give me the information to order the right one. Because I'm unsure. Many thanks Andy
I like the modularity of the fatsharks. I'm saving up for a decent pair. I like the ability to upgrade to another frequency, like 3.3ghz, if I ever get my ham license
I am looking for an upgrade over my Eachine vrd2 box goggles. These look pretty good now that they are $246 on Banggood. I am leaning towards buying them. I feel like they’re very close to the FatShark Dom3 for a much better price. I am sure that they will seem spectacular coming out of the Eachines. What do you think?
I was going to get the Eachine EV200D but Banggood just jumped the price up to $299. Now the Aomway V1 are winning. They have a lot of features for the money. They get the nod for me!
Hallo AndyRC First of all, nice review, i have one question though. I own Fatshark Dominator v3 now. And one think i hate about them, is that they dont show band , channel or frequency in the display, when pushing the bottoms. Is Aomway showing that in the display, when you changing channels ?? Thanks...
This looks like a very good option for passenger goggles as usually my friends or other people want to see the video. I'm usually carrying Cyclops goggles for that, but it's very bulky. For it's price point, Aomway looks very tempting.
Hi Andy great review as always need your help I have a viper jet edf a I need transmitor and recveiver for it and they want 120 quid for a dx6e or do I bye a drone with transmitor rtf eachine i6 and just get a receiver to match that witch will go in jet is this possible if so what receiver would I need or is the dx6e worth spending the money on on it's own thanks how good is eachine i6 compared to the dx6e
Hi Andy! I'm finally looking at moving away from my Eachine VR D2s to some goggle styles like these, and I have a couple questions that I haven't been able to figure out about these Aomways. I understand that that you can switch to 4:3, which I prefer for 4:3 cameras. Does the image look really small with the letterboxing around it? Also, does it save the 4:3 setting if you disconnect power? My last question is about the automatic DVR. Do you need to manually stop recording, or does it seem to have a capacitor inside that gives it enough power to properly finish the recording upon battery disconnect? Thanks Andy!
Thanks for another great review. Even though I can't afford most things you review or good enough pilot to buy others I enjoy the straight forward non biased way you do your reviews Andy. *Dance the Skies*
Andy, I got the beta NTSC & PAL firmware for the DVR ..... They are still working on .... image si slightly cropped latterally if your have OSD info at each top corners .... Generally I like too the ACV1.
It's so nice they decided to go with shop grey as a theme. I like the blandness of it all for I'm one of those guys that like my oatmeal without sugar or anything added to it including water.. I just eat the oats out of the box. Also like the fact they didn't mess around with any fancy wording or really anything stamped in to make it look like I just spent $361 plus slow ass shipping. Also the included rubber ducky antenna just reeks of quality and purpose. As a minimalist I often find ways to blend into my surroundings like wallpaper and wipe my arse with my left hand so I appreciate just how far they took the level of blandness here. So if anyone has enough introspection to realize you are that pontificating pedantic windbag boar or the meek scared shitless wallflower at parties then these are the perfect googles for you. Get them now while they are not hot!
I'd love a pair of goggles for their portability. But I still can't reason myself into spending that much money, especially when the only thing wrong with my quanum cyclops headset is that it's difficult to bring in a small pack.
hey Andy, how would you compare this goggles to the Skyzone Sky02 V+ goggles? Because I had them ordered from BG for $320 with 20% off coupon a week ago. Thanks and great review as always!
Biro-Szokolovszki Alpar You won't be disappointed. The Skyzones is just like these, minus battery as well, but has 4 foot long xt60 connector and inbuilt band scanner.
SickocrowAU frankly I went with the Skyzones because of the hesdstrap and ability to use Fatshark faceplate. I also liked the white color and in general very good reviews, like of UAVFutures review. Thanks
Hey Andy, thanks for making such informative videos. It really does help the newbies in your audience. I'm just wondering if you have had any experience with the Skyzone sky02 v2. I'm comparing those with Aomway at the moment and I'm just wondering if there is something I should be weary about with either headset.
Skyzone sky02s v+ is the best deal for googles right now. These Aomways may be nice but their unproven and the skyzones pack a few extra features. For the same price I'd have the v+, paid more than the going rate of 325USD and am still very happy with my purchase. Compared side by side HD in via connex with HD3, other FS goggle, Avente Glyph, Sky02 V+, Skyzones had the cleanest image. There was noise in the Glyph image. HD3 was more pixelated due to optics and that wide FOV, others FS goggles were overly blue in colour and had no adjustment.
They come with a single large eyecup as well as a snap on faceplate. Where I fly it generally doesn't get too hot for any length of time so I don't have much of an issue. Temperature differential can cause mild fogging occasionally when I put the goggles on initially. To combat this I put them on my head while I get setup and not right before I fly. You can also 3d print faceplates or clips to mount other faceplates.
Received mine after waiting like 2 months on preorder/backorder. Since 2-star review sure won't get approved on Banggood, I'll just say here that I am dissatisfied with this thing. First time using goggles other than the Eachine VR D2 box goggles. Maybe it's just my face structure, but I cannot get the image to be clear, always blurry around the edges and strains my eyes to the point of pain just to focus on the image. Receiver module isn't that great either, got breakup and some static flying within like 30 ft, while using TBS Triumph and Spironet patch antenna. Shadow and dark areas are VERY washed out, you can't make out any details. In my box goggles I can make out all the details even when looking into shadow areas. The transition from bright to dark (sky to ground) for some reason seems slow. I'm using Monster v2 camera, and on the Eachine goggles the change is instant without any problems. Overall I'm very underwhelmed, especially considering all the hype around these things. A very overpriced piece of basic crap, in my opinion. Will probably try to return to Banggood, but I don't know how that will pan out. May end up selling on ebay... Unless anyone has any idea how to fix these issues?
Hi there Andy, Your videos are very good. I just now ordered the same goggles . Are you still happy ? Ive only tried the fat shark recon. I hope for 400 there will be a big difference . Any advice would be good. Thx peace
mine still work and I hear both positive and negative experiences regarding their customer service I hear Sean is the best person to contact if you have an issue however fatshark have gotmany more repair centres and offer a better service so in my opinion it is worth paying the extra for fatshark even though they have their own issues themselves I hope that helps
Recording is 4:3 and the goggles display (in your eyes) 16:9.. Don't ask me why. And I'm not sure what recordings will look like when using a 16:9 camera, maybe it'll squash the image but I'm not sure about that.
Andy great work again I decided to get these as you liked them so much. I'm trying to find out what type on connection the antennas are. Sma male or rp sma ? Cheers.
Do a review of these. I have them and love them. Only thing is only 32 channel. Have built in DVR, 2 to 4 S. Video in/out Can wear glasses with them. Has Frequency scan to scan before you plug in you VTX. Has Diversity RX. What more could you want for 200 bucks?
They don't include a battery because then they should(sometimes companies get away with this)pay for battery safe shipping. But i just ordered some attitude v3's from hobbyking.....
Andy, can I have a no bulls*** honest opinion on best to worst FPV goggles you've tried and where these Aomways stand? I'm gonna fork out a fairly large amount of cash on upgrades soon and would hate to spend a lot of cash on something I would later regret and these Aomways are in the list.
I would also like an answer to this question. There are so many options out there now. No one wants to fork out 300 plus and feel ripped off. Thank you.
Was that a glint of sunshine in your demo flight? I thought you were socked in with bad weather for a while... I was going to ask what you do with all those LiPo batteries when you can't get out to fly...? ...Oh, by the way- nice review!
At 5:30 you mention they have a head tracker, which in part is true. This is the email response I received from them, " Hi，headtracking function is available with the goggle but need to purchase the head tracker module seperately which we have not yet release it to the market, could be later, thank you! Best Regards, Sean" So, I'm not quite sure how that is going to work and they are not sure when it will. Hopefully they release something soon. Nice review BTW. Thanks for sharing!
man you should always check your channels never just go thruw them till you get picture if i am in the field and cant remember i just grab my phone and look it up
Great review. I think it's funny you need a class 10 MicroSD to record SD footage. I think all of these goggles are overpriced and this seems no different, but I do think it's nice other companies are offering competition for Fat Shark's longtime monopoly. I prefer 4:3 as well, so I'm glad I grabbed a pair of the Dominator SE's while they were available.
What you find to be a disappointment for you it's a great feature for me! I love 16:9! Plus as far as I understand you can switch to 4:3 if you want to.
I'm about to buy a used commander, how do I know if I can use 4:3? Should it be the V1? The video title says V1 so I'm not sure if they updated the googles again or if you updated the video title.
Ok, so it is 2017, we have mobile phones with 8+ cores, 4+GB ram, ~4k displays etc etc and we dont know how to implement software feature to switch aspect ratio? Also for $400 and not even 720p? This is just wrong! btw great review andy, as always :)
Thanks for the review Andy, a lot of people seem to be interested in these don't they? At £315 for the Aomway v £289 fro the Dominator v3 I'm not so convinced. The lack of battery on the Aomway almost cancels out the lack of Rx on the Dominators, (£33 for the RealACC diversity Rx or a bit more for the LaForge). There's not much in the price. I haven't seen a tear-down on these yet but the Skyzone goggles don't seem nearly as well-made as the Fat Sharks and these look very similar to Skyzones. The Fat Sharks are certainly very well made but do have several design flaws, like a clunky battery on your ear and a separate plug and switch for the fan, but the Aomways have copied some of these flaws too. They are all far too expensive for what they are but I guess if they could be made cheaper then someone would be doing it. Had they been significantly cheaper then I'd be annoyed, but they're not, so I'm happy with my Fat Sharks :)
Hey Andy ... I saw this video when you first produced it and I was just curious, is the Commander still your go to goggle? As always, thanks for what you do, this is a great channel.
It would be very nice if you got provided the v2 version ... quite a few very nice upgrades. Let's hope you are provided a pair ... your review would sell so many that it would be a very good investment on Aomway's part.
Screen ratio = 16:9 and DVR ratio = 4:3 !?!?! WTF??? Really can't understand how can they even put out something that's not properly "compatible" with itself!? A 400$ PRODUCT TOO!
No batteries makes sense. Most of us have mountains of unused lipos in different sizes. If a battery was included we probably wouldn't like the battery anyway. For me the 16/9 format is a deal breaker though. Its simply wrong. Great review Andy:-)
As long as these types of "quality goggles" are not under 200 euros, I continue to use my cheap Eachine goggles. That's still too expensive for such a piece of plastic with tiny cheap monitors...and a little bit of technology, sorry. ;-)
Robi Vom Mars Even if it will cost 90$ what i paid for ev800d I would never buy them. The only good thing about them is size but I never fell embarased or uncomfortable with box style goggles.
non selectable screen ratio seems like a economic folly; surely it is not that expensive to make selectable??? They are shutting the door on a good percentage of potential buyers by there economics. If they are going to have a fixed ratio - why not 3/4? Seems crazy to m
Do a review of these. I have them and love them. Only thing is only 32 channel. Have built in DVR, 2 to 4 S. Video in/out Can wear glasses with them. Has Frequency scan to scan before you plug in you VTX. Has Diversity RX. What more could you want for 200 bucks?
Couldnt be bothered waiting till after June before i got mine,so i got some Dom V3 with a 50808 pro receiver off ebay for less money. Havent arrived yet but i cant wait!
I bought the Dom V3 in February, but sold it last week due to some problems. Blurry edges, thin foam (which makes your forehead hurt). Can't wait for my Commanders since I can use my 3 2500 mah 2 cell batteries! :) Hope you don't get the same issues as I did. Although the blurry edges isn't really a problem. You get used to it, and look in the center of the screens anyways. Have fun!
so my cheap goggles are like the fatshark in the sense that you don't know if your on the right channel and unfortunately mine don't even give you what channel or frequency your on so you just have to guess. my problem is that I can only go about 40-50 feet in open air before massive signal breakup. could it just be I'm not on the right channel or are the goggles just bad and I should order new ones
I had that on my first few flights too. Read the instructions that came with the video Tx and make sure you know what frequency its on, (as in 5740 or whatever channel you fancy). Then do the same for the Rx and make sure its on the same frequency. Don't just go by the letters and numbers as they differ between manufacturers.
AH, so only auto-tune. I've got the Quanum Cyclops which had the same problem but it did always find the right frequency. It could be a VTx problem or, more likely, an antenna issue. Best thing would be to try someone elses.
woops forgot to mention yes channels with diversity make sure u have the right channel selected as some seem to be very close on the RF and u get two channels come up I have had where I flew off and thought shit this is crap instantly came back landed and changed it, u can see the difference in the colours. scared the shit out of me the first time it happened now I know phew :)
If they made them for under $200 bucks they would be a fatshark killer but Greed wins the day again. I will stick to bigger heavy Cyclops style goggles.
Yeah - The screens and lenses in these style of goggles are fairly unique. Unlike the box style goggles, there is nothing common to grab the components out of. If the parts were mass produced like 5" screens and fresnel lenses, then the price would drop dramatically.
they are, they all use the same screens, see kabab fpv channel and his goggle video teardown of fatshark vs flysight. same internal screens from the same supplier.
I have read that these have both 16:9 and 4:3 selectable choice in video.
I ordered a pair off Amazon with head tracking to try out.
I wonder when these kind of FPV-Googles sell under 200€...
you have to wait a year then pick em up second hand in good condition for half the price like I did :P
I paid $265 (still a lot more than 200 euros) a few weeks back.
I bought mine for $155 haha
Bought mine for 40$
Nice review! I didn't hear if you mentioned it or not but it appeared to have a built-in fan on the bottom of the goggles? Also, I would think that if they were going to include a DVR in the goggles whether it's AOMWay or Fatshark they should record to a minimum resolution of 720x480 especially since some are using wide screen displays. Most of the FPV cameras that I use are higher than 640x480 resolution.
You can have raceband on fat shark. Is there raceband on this?
Hi I have the TBS Tango with the FPV Screen it has a special cable (RJ45) that sends video feed and power to the googles, do these Aomway googles work with this cable?
Thanks for the video, could you tell me where I can find the diopter inserts for this model?
Do a review of these. I have them and love them. Only thing is only 32 channel. Have built in DVR, 2 to 4 S. Video in/out Can wear glasses with them. Has Frequency scan to scan before you plug in you VTX. Has Diversity RX. What more could you want for 200 bucks?
second edition can do 4:3 not sure if it is just a fw upgrade for earlier version to get 4:3
u can switch between 4:3 and 16:9. so its No letdown
Hi andy,have you tried the v1,s with your fimi x8? i cant seem to connect up mine, any help greatly appreciated,thanks,steve
how do theses stand up if ya wear glasses to read?
Wish you could switch to 4x3. What's it like with a 16x9 camera?
Could I use these with a 4:3 camera? The frame I want won't fit a monster v2
Hey bud question what settings were ur gopro set at? Superview? Video stab? Quality? Lol i just wanna know what u seem to like, as well as what this was shot at

I like the modularity of the fatsharks. I'm saving up for a decent pair. I like the ability to upgrade to another frequency, like 3.3ghz, if I ever get my ham license
Does the Goggles support video out through the 3.5mm jack?
Hey Andy and others, I have a question: how to record? I just got it but i dont know how to record, can you tell me? Thanks :D
I am looking for an upgrade over my Eachine vrd2 box goggles. These look pretty good now that they are $246 on Banggood. I am leaning towards buying them. I feel like they’re very close to the FatShark Dom3 for a much better price. I am sure that they will seem spectacular coming out of the Eachines. What do you think?
I was going to get the Eachine EV200D but Banggood just jumped the price up to $299. Now the Aomway V1 are winning. They have a lot of features for the money. They get the nod for me!
Pricier than the V3 ? i got those Aoway V1 for $320 on banggood, pretty sure that way cheaper considering it comes with diversity
Hallo AndyRC
First of all, nice review, i have one question though.
I own Fatshark Dominator v3 now. And one think i hate about them, is that they dont show band , channel or frequency in the display, when pushing the bottoms. Is Aomway showing that in the display, when you changing channels ??
Thanks...
12mths later... which goggles do you fly AndyRC?
This looks like a very good option for passenger goggles as usually my friends or other people want to see the video. I'm usually carrying Cyclops goggles for that, but it's very bulky. For it's price point, Aomway looks very tempting.
Could I play 3d games on this with the headtracking module? Like it was a seriously gimped down oculus? Does any1 know?
Hi Andy great review as always need your help I have a viper jet edf a I need transmitor and recveiver for it and they want 120 quid for a dx6e or do I bye a drone with transmitor rtf eachine i6 and just get a receiver to match that witch will go in jet is this possible if so what receiver would I need or is the dx6e worth spending the money on on it's own thanks how good is eachine i6 compared to the dx6e

no review for the v2 ???????????
Thanks for another great review. Even though I can't afford most things you review or good enough pilot to buy others I enjoy the straight forward non biased way you do your reviews Andy.
*Dance the Skies*
Hey Andy, are you flying with 4s or 3s in this video? and what is your motors KV? i see it draws max current of 16 amps each motor.
Andy, I got the beta NTSC & PAL firmware for the DVR ..... They are still working on .... image si slightly cropped latterally if your have OSD info at each top corners .... Generally I like too the ACV1.
It's so nice they decided to go with shop grey as a theme. I like the blandness of it all for I'm one of those guys that like my oatmeal without sugar or anything added to it including water.. I just eat the oats out of the box. Also like the fact they didn't mess around with any fancy wording or really anything stamped in to make it look like I just spent $361 plus slow ass shipping.

So if anyone has enough introspection to realize you are that pontificating pedantic windbag boar or the meek scared shitless wallflower at parties then these are the perfect googles for you. Get them now while they are not hot!
How do these compare to the Dominator V3s
Thanks for all your info on this, you're very thorough. Especially explaining why there was a bit of breakup in the video.
I'd love a pair of goggles for their portability. But I still can't reason myself into spending that much money, especially when the only thing wrong with my quanum cyclops headset is that it's difficult to bring in a small pack.
Hey Andy. What do think is the best camera for micro fpv. The ones I've tried all have really dark picture. Thanks in advance.
u can change the brightness and colour contrast on your goggles with the 4 way button on top
I use an eachine ef-02 on my micro brushless and it seems to work well.
Can yoy try a Foxeer Monster 16:9 camera with the goggles?
16:9 Monster through these are awesome. My Skyzones have the same optics. Super smooth and crisp.
Hey Andy. Between the aomway v1, fatshark dom v3, flysight fg01 and the sky zone 02. Which would you choose and why ?
Aomway v1 if u aren't fussed about modules. Fg01 for modules. Both switch aspect ratios. The others don't
Andy, what is a good battery for these? Thanks mate!
what are your thoughts on the stock antenna? Would you upgrade them or do they provide good reception as is
Is the amperage on the osd right?! In the punchout you had like 17 amps... what does the alien setup weigh?
+Martin Mehus it's individual ESC amps
Uh well that makes way more sense... thanks for answer
no problem
Did you find them more or less comfortable than the Fatsharks?
about the same yes
there is a V2 version
is it an upgrade,better or not worth it?
this or eachine vr d2 pro? i heard vr d2 pro is pretty good already... plus its $300 cheaper than the aomway
hhhmmm after reading some comments here
ill stick with the cheaper eachine vr d2 pro
Nice review 👍but the dom v3 is also 16:9 or did I miss something?
hey Andy, how would you compare this goggles to the Skyzone Sky02 V+ goggles? Because I had them ordered from BG for $320 with 20% off coupon a week ago. Thanks and great review as always!

SickocrowAU frankly I went with the Skyzones because of the hesdstrap and ability to use Fatshark faceplate. I also liked the white color and in general very good reviews, like of UAVFutures review. Thanks
SickocrowAU how do they go with fogging up? it is the deciding factor between either getting these or the Skyzone sky02 v2.
Have you done any latency comparison, especially while recording.
+PowerScissor yes same as fatsharks
Hey Andy, thanks for making such informative videos. It really does help the newbies in your audience.
I'm just wondering if you have had any experience with the Skyzone sky02 v2. I'm comparing those with Aomway at the moment and I'm just wondering if there is something I should be weary about with either headset.

i got mine off ebay :)

The DVR looks like it's 4x3... why is that cause I thought that the Goggles were 16x9 am I just crazy?

Andy great work again I decided to get these as you liked them so much. I'm trying to find out what type on connection the antennas are. Sma male or rp sma ?
Cheers.
Do a review of these. I have them and love them. Only thing is only 32 channel. Have built in DVR, 2 to 4 S. Video in/out Can wear glasses with them. Has Frequency scan to scan before you plug in you VTX. Has Diversity RX. What more could you want for 200 bucks?
DVR only records in 4:3? For real?
They don't include a battery because then they should(sometimes companies get away with this)pay for battery safe shipping. But i just ordered some attitude v3's from hobbyking.....

joeri pe5jw don't listen to the advertisement
Parasite
excellent review, I'm waiting for a back order of my commanders, 3 weeks to wait they must be selling good
great review what osd do you use
Was that a glint of sunshine in your demo flight? I thought you were socked in with bad weather for a while... I was going to ask what you do with all those LiPo batteries when you can't get out to fly...?
...Oh, by the way- nice review!
RL it was beautiful weather yesterday in the UK where i was:)
Does it work with people who wear glasses 🤓? Thnx
Mine came with a clover leaf antenna though....
At 5:30 you mention they have a head tracker, which in part is true.
This is the email response I received from them, " Hi，headtracking function is available with the goggle but need to purchase the head tracker module seperately which we have not yet release it to the market, could be later, thank you!
Best Regards,
Sean"
So, I'm not quite sure how that is going to work and they are not sure when it will. Hopefully they release something soon.
Nice review BTW. Thanks for sharing!
man you should always check your channels never just go thruw them till you get picture if i am in the field and cant remember i just grab my phone and look it up
thanks I am waiting for mine to arrive from banggood... hope I like them as much as you do..
Great Review Andy!! Nice Flying too!!!
Great review. I think it's funny you need a class 10 MicroSD to record SD footage. I think all of these goggles are overpriced and this seems no different, but I do think it's nice other companies are offering competition for Fat Shark's longtime monopoly. I prefer 4:3 as well, so I'm glad I grabbed a pair of the Dominator SE's while they were available.
What you find to be a disappointment for you it's a great feature for me! I love 16:9! Plus as far as I understand you can switch to 4:3 if you want to.
hi AndyRC , between aomway commander and dominator v3 what you recommend?
aomway for me as they now switch aspects
I'm about to buy a used commander, how do I know if I can use 4:3? Should it be the V1? The video title says V1 so I'm not sure if they updated the googles again or if you updated the video title.
Note: The OSD is not part of the goggles..
How to record 😅
Ok, so it is 2017, we have mobile phones with 8+ cores, 4+GB ram, ~4k displays etc etc and we dont know how to implement software feature to switch aspect ratio? Also for $400 and not even 720p? This is just wrong! btw great review andy, as always :)
Thanks for the review Andy, a lot of people seem to be interested in these don't they?
At £315 for the Aomway v £289 fro the Dominator v3 I'm not so convinced. The lack of battery on the Aomway almost cancels out the lack of Rx on the Dominators, (£33 for the RealACC diversity Rx or a bit more for the LaForge). There's not much in the price.
I haven't seen a tear-down on these yet but the Skyzone goggles don't seem nearly as well-made as the Fat Sharks and these look very similar to Skyzones. The Fat Sharks are certainly very well made but do have several design flaws, like a clunky battery on your ear and a separate plug and switch for the fan, but the Aomways have copied some of these flaws too.
They are all far too expensive for what they are but I guess if they could be made cheaper then someone would be doing it. Had they been significantly cheaper then I'd be annoyed, but they're not, so I'm happy with my Fat Sharks :)
Hey Andy ... I saw this video when you first produced it and I was just curious, is the Commander still your go to goggle?
As always, thanks for what you do, this is a great channel.
its my go to model for 16 by nine cams I have the old version that doesnt switch but I use fatshark for 4:3
It would be very nice if you got provided the v2 version ... quite a few very nice upgrades. Let's hope you are provided a pair ... your review would sell so many that it would be a very good investment on Aomway's part.
AndyRC does the Goggles support video output through the 3.5mm jack
ANDY keep calm im here for you. everytime.
Screen ratio = 16:9 and DVR ratio = 4:3 !?!?! WTF??? Really can't understand how can they even put out something that's not properly "compatible" with itself!? A 400$ PRODUCT TOO!
Awesome review, now I want to buy them
I hope we see an Eachine version. Will force everyone to compete or die. rediculous price.
Eachine, FTW!
they did www.banggood.com/Eachine-EV100-720540-5_8G-72CH-FPV-Goggles-With-Dual-Antennas-Fan-7_4V-1000mAh-Battery-p-1182469.html
MF-BOOM if its any good then great 👌
not true diversity
great thorough review 👍
No batteries makes sense. Most of us have mountains of unused lipos in different sizes. If a battery was included we probably wouldn't like the battery anyway. For me the 16/9 format is a deal breaker though. Its simply wrong.
Great review Andy:-)
You're wrong
Thank you again Andy!!!!
As long as these types of "quality goggles" are not under 200 euros, I continue to use my cheap Eachine goggles. That's still too expensive for such a piece of plastic with tiny cheap monitors...and a little bit of technology, sorry. ;-)
Robi Vom Mars Even if it will cost 90$ what i paid for ev800d I would never buy them. The only good thing about them is size but I never fell embarased or uncomfortable with box style goggles.
non selectable screen ratio seems like a economic folly; surely it is not that expensive to make selectable??? They are shutting the door on a good percentage of potential buyers by there economics. If they are going to have a fixed ratio - why not 3/4?
Seems crazy to m
nice review, brilliant acro bud such a nice quad 2 its a screamer :)
get the Skyzone Sky-02 v4 or Sky-02S V+ instead.. about the same price and way better.
Hello :-) nice rewiew .... can you tell me what kind of battery i need ? Maybe with a link ? thanks
Do a review of these. I have them and love them. Only thing is only 32 channel. Have built in DVR, 2 to 4 S. Video in/out Can wear glasses with them. Has Frequency scan to scan before you plug in you VTX. Has Diversity RX. What more could you want for 200 bucks?
Do a review of what?? Name of product please... ;)
Another great vid, keep it up!

The big question is do you still use your fatsharks over these Andy?
i use the fatsharks just because of the 4:3 and then these with 16:9 cams
you can now choose between 4:3 and 16:9 on a button
Couldnt be bothered waiting till after June before i got mine,so i got some Dom V3 with a 50808 pro receiver off ebay for less money.
Havent arrived yet but i cant wait!
I bought the Dom V3 in February, but sold it last week due to some problems. Blurry edges, thin foam (which makes your forehead hurt). Can't wait for my Commanders since I can use my 3 2500 mah 2 cell batteries! :)
Hope you don't get the same issues as I did. Although the blurry edges isn't really a problem. You get used to it, and look in the center of the screens anyways.
Have fun!

Only paid 300 for them so will see how they go 😉
These have been revised with some updates. Info here

i dont like a lipo battery next to my head
John Batchler better stop using ya phone then...
so my cheap goggles are like the fatshark in the sense that you don't know if your on the right channel and unfortunately mine don't even give you what channel or frequency your on so you just have to guess. my problem is that I can only go about 40-50 feet in open air before massive signal breakup. could it just be I'm not on the right channel or are the goggles just bad and I should order new ones
I had that on my first few flights too. Read the instructions that came with the video Tx and make sure you know what frequency its on, (as in 5740 or whatever channel you fancy). Then do the same for the Rx and make sure its on the same frequency. Don't just go by the letters and numbers as they differ between manufacturers.
What weird about my goggles tho is that you are given no info as to what channel or frequency the goggles are on
What goggles are those?
patrickcol 50 dollar eachine VR 007
AH, so only auto-tune. I've got the Quanum Cyclops which had the same problem but it did always find the right frequency. It could be a VTx problem or, more likely, an antenna issue. Best thing would be to try someone elses.
..I would do away with the Englander- bashing. Many like your concise analysis Major.
this is just too expensive compared to fatshark dom v3 and skyzone alternatives
Swap your antennas to Pagoda
Hell no. Not for that price.
Good video
want them too but to expensive for an 15 year old lol
woops forgot to mention yes channels with diversity make sure u have the right channel selected as some seem to be very close on the RF and u get two channels come up I have had where I flew off and thought shit this is crap instantly came back landed and changed it, u can see the difference in the colours. scared the shit out of me the first time it happened now I know phew :)
Jeti is the best
If they made them for under $200 bucks they would be a fatshark killer but Greed wins the day again. I will stick to bigger heavy Cyclops style goggles.
There is a reason they cost that much (R&D cost, materials etc). I am sure aomway would love nothing more than to price fatshark out of the market.
Control is power. Must Have a small loss to gain a market.
Yeah - The screens and lenses in these style of goggles are fairly unique. Unlike the box style goggles, there is nothing common to grab the components out of. If the parts were mass produced like 5" screens and fresnel lenses, then the price would drop dramatically.
they are, they all use the same screens, see kabab fpv channel and his goggle video teardown of fatshark vs flysight. same internal screens from the same supplier.
FlyQuad FPV Yep agree make something for $70 bucks put a mark up 400% retail so they can sell bulk 300% wholesale and still make huge profits.👎😲
Great
