    Good video +AndyRC, Fat Shark may lead the market at this time but they are running out of time to deliver goggles to a quality and standard that customers paying ~£500 expect. It is only a matter of time before a major manufacturer outpaces the Fat Shark development cycle and provides a far better option.

    Hi Andy, Great review. I gave up with FatShark googles a while back, as I could never (no much how I tried) get them to be in focus. I gave up in the end and got some SkyZone goggles which have worked flawlessly. Also the battery on the FatSharks is rubbish, I lost a place when the battery just gave up after a few minutes of use.
    I'd be interested to see what your take is on the SkyZone goggles.

    How much does one really appreciate the increase in FOV from Dom V2 SD to HD3? Using Miniquads (180-220) I have no stores nearby but always have wondered whether a larger FOV would be appreciated enough to justify the price hike?

  • @babakzekibi315
    @babakzekibi315 8 років тому

    I have an HDV2 and I think HDV3 is a total disaster. I can say that without even having one. They didn't fix any issues at HDV2's and they didn't add anything or make any changes that we can say well thats a step forward on the googles and just a little bit more expensive than the HDV2. It's one of the most expensive ones in the market so we have the right to expect better at least compared to HDV2's.Well I love my HDV2 and yes I have some blur issue too but it gets better if push the googles on my face a little bit more so I just cured the probem by tightening the head strap. Thanks AndyRC, much appreciated review. I think HDV2 is better

  • @nellodude
    @nellodude 7 років тому

    Thanks Andy great review and you are correct goggles are an individual thing.
    I would try other manufacturers BUT they have inbuilt receivers.
    I wish other manufacturers would use the modular receiver approach then we can switch to what suits us. I use 1.3ghz so at the moment I have to choose Fatshark.
    Surely these newer cheaper goggles can do the same.

  • @franzferdinand1

    8GB micro sd card for DVR
    Mad Mushroom Bluebeam Ultra Antenne

    thanks once again for this honest and comprehensive video, andy! I own both the Fatshark Attitude V3 and just recently bought the Eachine VR D2's. Sadly, i'm now flying the VR D2 more often, which speaks for itself. I did have a look through a friends Fatshark SE's and since then WISH i'd have bought them. I feel like those are the best option from all of the fatsharks, loving the big field of view and in a good price ratio. So sad. I hope fatshark listens and brings them up once again to an even cheaper price ;) - so far still not convinced with those hypesharks.

  • @zzeekkey

    Sorry, my english is not so good. But as i understand glasses lke Fatshark, Skyzone, etc had a small picture with norrow field of view. And on the other side is big FPV Helmets wich have a pretty big picture and wide view angle. So, the only benefit of fatshark is a small and more comfortable form-factor. Am i right?

    I have had problems with my Fatshark HD3 since I bought them. I had the Blurriness and I emailed them just like Andy did, and they had me ship my goggles out for repair. The goggles came back and the blurriness was gone but now there was dirt or something on the inside of the lenses. I then had to ship them back AGAIN to remove the dirt! I wish I never bought them! I bet the Pro's only use them because they are sponsored and they got them for free. what a waste of money but now I'm stuck with them.

I'm starting in the hobby fliying with a quanum v2 and it works for me, i think they're inmersive and with a dvr installed I dont have more needs, but they're really heavy and the carriage its bad cause are so big... I was thinking on make the upgrade to fatshark this summer because I know I wanna keep in this hobby for a long time, but I dont wanna spend 400-500 bucks (There are a new HD0) to feel that I have the same than before but smaller and lighter... I would like to try and test it, but dont have friends in the hobby and were I live there are not any quad shop. In your opinion (anyone opinion would be so helpfull for a newbie like me) it's so worth to buy a fatshark glasses? For the price, better than aomway or skyzone? Sorry for my english... and than you all for reading me!

    Andy, that observation about the blurry edges is so correct, I had the exact same experience, started with a 5" screen goggles, which have an amazing immersive experience and wanted to shift over to FatShark due to vtx diversity and compact form factor. I went out to actually try them out and just like you said when i finally managed to find that 'sweet spot' all was good, but once I flinched my eye and lost that spot I saw them blurry edges again.
    This is so disappointing from a 500$ goggles i cannot even start to describe, Advise to everybody is to go out and try before you buy. it's not a 500$ product.

    • @MArgusChopinGyver
      @MArgusChopinGyver 8 років тому +1

      ***** but not everybody need an super low latency fpv like fatshark offer. Not everybody have a lot of money to burn only on a fpv googles..
      There's some group over there that want to feel the immersive experience using googles but don't want to buy a fatshark because the price..
      Sometimes using googles is good because it can block the sun and can focus to the fpv.
      So there's a market for fatshark, and there's market for DIY googles like quanum or evenusing a RC832 + easycap and connect it to the phone/computer is good enough for some people....

They were one of the best at the start of the run and then they felt behind, but people keep buying them and that was not because they were pro's, it was because humans mostly like other animals copy what they see. That is why there are so few original people with mind of their own and many, many copy cats :) . So when you use Pro's I really am not shore about that Bro. ....

  • @Jimbo-in-Thailand
    @Jimbo-in-Thailand 8 років тому +4

    Thanks so much for such a wonderfully candid review and I agree with everything you said. For the past few weeks I've been searching in vain for a decent pair of HD FPV goggles and/or a single visor version with a nice wide field of view (FOV) to feed my new toy drone hobby addiction that won't break the bank. Of course I discovered Fat Shark's severely overpriced offerings fairly early on. My opinion is that Fat Shark 'premium' products are a ripoff, featuring substandard video quality and ultra-narrow field-of-view technology. That would be palatable if they were cheap, but they're premium priced. And sadly, Fat Shark obviously hasn't spent a penny on R&D, or Quality Assurance as, like you mentioned, their newer products are in some cases worse than their earlier models... and buggy. And with today's new high pixel density curved OLED screens I believe Fat Shark could offer some fantastic HD products if they wanted to.
    I hope someone at Fat Shark will read and heed this wake-up call.
    Cheers and Merry Christmas from Thailand Andy!

      yeah I can see why its a issue with most cameras do to aspect ratios of certain sizes that look weird in 16:9 or vice versa with the 4:3 I still a noob to this hobby really :) not long had my setup but wow its good for me at the moment. just out of interest the balance lead that comes with fatsharks is for charging the lipo for the head set but its says not 2 why the lead? hummm been using the hubsan x4 pro charger to charge it seems fine tho using the lead and balance port still cant work it out :)

    • @Trizface
      @Trizface 8 років тому

      jon hoyles
      The balance lead is for powering the fan on the face plate to defog the goggles.
      It shouldn't be used to balance charge as it will wreck the battery.
      I personally like the 16:9 aspect ratio as do some others but its in the minority as basically all pros use 4:3 so there isn't any stretch to the image.

      @TheMadmacs 8 років тому

      not sure what you mean, do you mean control receiver and control radio? if you do. lots of toy grade quads can use any of the radios or receivers, so you could buy a new transmitter and use it with old quad/receiver, but with higher grade quads, the receiver and transmitter need to bind, usually quite easy. you should name the produccts you use because it makes it easier to understand any questions.

    I returned the HD3, all is just blurring and ghosting and out of focus, I heard that they fixed the problem but not absolutely perfect, still need to place it in perfect position otherwise it still have some blur. I keep the Quanum Pro V2, it's way better in FPV experience except the fact that HD3 better in form factor

      Just got those and they are really great for the money...gotta be the best goggle for under 100 dollars period. We also have the Skyzones, but man for the money you cant beat the Quanum. All our cams look good to great between 600 and 800tvl setups... all very clear and enjoyable to fly with.

    Nice review Andy! I used base SD's for years but ended getting some Dom v3's this time last year and am kind of disappointed with them for the money. But you didnt say how BAD the lipos are mate. Mine has never balanced from new and cant handle diversity modules for more than 20 mins, but Banggood has a solution for £6 and minimal modding :)

    • @Trizface
      @Trizface 8 років тому

      Dazzle Kernow If you used the balance lead you ruined then. They aren't meant to be balanced charged it's simply attached for powering the fan.

    • @dazzlekernow1408
      @dazzlekernow1408 8 років тому

      I was not aware balance charging a standard 2s lipo would ruin it, after all the writing on the wall quite clearly shows 1 cell is defective, but i stand corrected pal.

    • @adamharlow3302
      @adamharlow3302 8 років тому

      Dazzle Kernow look closely at your balance plug on fatshark battery does it have 2 or 3 wires going in it if only 2 it isn't a balance lead and you have to charge with just the barrel plug on regular charge mode not balance mode it is in the manual

    • @Trizface
      @Trizface 8 років тому

      Dazzle Kernow
      Balance charging a normal 2S lipo wouldn't ruin it but the fatshark battery isn't a normal 2S lipo either. Its supposed to be charged via fast or none balance charge and again the balance lead is only there to be used to power the fan for the goggles, should be in the instructions and fatshark made an official statement on it because so many people wrecked their batteries trying to balance charge them.

  • @TheMadmacs
    @TheMadmacs 8 років тому

    my only problem with quanum large screens is the fatigue from being slightly crosseyed to view it... i can't bring myself to pay for fatsharks even though i know the two screens removes the crosseyed fatigue... too small a field of view and far too expensive for what they are...

    • @acehighflyer123
      @acehighflyer123 7 років тому

      I prefer wide screen, but during longer sessions I move to 4:3 to reduce overall eye strain. Have you tried this? We run 600 to 800 CCD and CMOS cams. If I am running less than 5 batteries I keep it in 16:9 and anything more I change up the format. Still has to be the best for under 100.00 dollars though.

  • @johnnoble01
    @johnnoble01 6 років тому

    Let's be honest here. A lot of people only buy Fatshark because they can't bear to be seen with box gogs on their face even though the image is better. Belive me I have used the Fatshark product but prefer total immersion I get from my cyclops and V2's.

    "a cruel game of pin-the-eyes-on-the-human" ROFLsnort! At least I feel better about not being able to afford Fatsharks. I hope you get a chance to do a comparison between the Skyzone 3D and Boscam ones you used for the 3D FPV videos. SKYZONE: send this man some goggles!

    • @acehighflyer123
      @acehighflyer123 7 років тому

      I know you dont usually like 16/9, but skyzone goggles are far superior in image quality...well pretty much any goggle or pair of glasses are..LOL I have felt the same of Fat Shark, the quad copter market is moving at an alarming speed, as you well know. Its almost to the point where fear is common place in buying something. Because tomorrow when you troll the interwebs there may be something better..The new DJI goggles just came out. Those do just about everything under the sun, especially with native DJI products. I will be honest with you Fat Shark to ME feels like rather an unrefined product at 500.00 US$. We just picked up some Quanum Goggle V2 that just got released and the large screen view is a blast. I picked them up from Hobbyking... Also has to be the best viewing experience we have ever seen for under 85.00 US$ delivered to my door. Thank you for all the honest and personal evaluations you have done in this video. Its not easy to openly criticize the market leader, but if nobody does so they will never improve or adjust their own products. Its kind of the whole point of being a reviewer in the first place...cheers.

    good info Andy seeing that you had three pair even though you ripped them apart LOL must say that you do like them somewhat. now I need to decide if I take the plunge and if I can see with them being farsighted I wanted to post a link for those that are looking into also getting some and wear prescription glasses. you can go to www.rholens.com they are in Germany and make prescription lenses for the fatshark. I'm personally waiting to hear back from them to see if my prescription would need to be made up for the fat sharks so that I could see out of them. I like the idea you can return them to banggood however I don't know how much postage would cost me from the United States to China!

  • @MrBenpa
    @MrBenpa 8 років тому +2

    Fatshark is overpriced shitty goggles. Not Sharp, blurry, so small Picture. They could do MUCH better Products for that blingbling price, make them a Little larger to fit bigger screens etc. My guess is that most people buy them because they look cool, and the fact that they are easy to put in a smaller backpack. I Always wonder why people fly with these when you cant barely see anything, isn't that the whole Point, to see more details. Upgrading fpv camera with more TVL.....ohhh no, now you need to buy the new v12! But then they removed the HDMI input just to piss people off, still the same screens from 1995, so its pointless.V1,V2,V3 blabla....make a few great products instead of milking the market with different versions that doesn't make things better at all.

    Short answer is, no, don't by any of the overpriced junk Fat Shark sells. They market to the Apple morons, just like DJI, who will spend tons of money for a mediocre product. You won't get what you expect. Spend $150 or less on a better product.
