Best Value FPV Goggles?? Skyzone 02X and 02C First Impressions
Vložit

- Here are some of my thoughts on the Skyzone 02X goggles. In this review, I also weigh some of the pros and cons of dual-screen goggles vs. box goggles and why I would argue that neither is better or worse than the other. If you guys enjoy it, please remember to give this video a like! It's a small action that makes a huge difference for me!

Update: I must have missed this earlier, but I just learned that the Skyzone 02C's are different in that they do not have the front-facing camera AND they do not support 3D video. I'm sure that won't matter to most of you but it's definitely something to consider!
Throwing away the stock anntena's is not a good idea if you fly tiny whoops with linear anntenas.. They actually work pretty well on my 02C's & on my EV800D's when flying drones with linear anntena's.
EXACTLY what I'm looking for, i really want to try 3d flight with my Blackbird 2 3d cam. Got the sz 03O goggles but they are incapable 😮💨
I immediately had to subscribe! You gave me so much good information and delivered it so well I had no choice. You are truly gifted in speeking and really seem to know your stuff!
Now I want to find more of your episodes to watch! Thank you! You're the best!
Good review, it is nice that you take time to explain basics too. Makes it more easy to understand as a beginner.
Love the stuff you make so high quality keep it up
not sure how i missed you upload. YT didnt notify me lol great video man
Awesome Content as usual, makes me smile to see such growth. Been here since 33subs and it feels like yesterday! Keep going!
Honestly, I'm blown away. It feels like yesterday to me too.
@@MattPochwat hey Matt when are you gonna upload a new video. Btw ur content ir rly great. And is there a way to Contact you i have some questions about frsky qx7 controller
Greetings from Germany, im a beginner and u already helped me so much with your clean simple perfect videos.. just straightforward perfect ! keep up your awesome channel as u helping us "newbies" so much and deserve way more subs for that type of quality. CHEERS !
Almost 10K subs! Congrats man
Excellent reviews 👍
Best education on drones on CZcams. Subscribed.
What 2k subs? Congratulations, a month ago you where at 200. That's pretty cool
Great content. And thanks god you have great understandable diction (english isn't my native). I am so glad that I found your channel
I took my ev800 apart and solder one connection on the chargeport. And now it works great again! However i planing to buy new goggles, and that brought me here. 😁 Thanks for the input.
Man your content is amazing. Such a high production value. But the most important is that I started out about the same time as you, and also began with box goggles, due to HD being something I might save money for instead of buying an expensive fatshark setup next. Keep up the good work!
Great video! My next step is figuring out what fpv goggles to get. I've been eyeballing the fatshark scout a bit, but I'm pretty iffy on box goggles being my first.
This channel is the real gem.
Nice review! I'm new in this hobby. I just bought DRL Simulator for only 6 bucks on steam! Currently playing using xbox controller 😂 while my X9 Lite is on its way. Keep up the good work! Love from Malaysia 🇲🇾
Again another great informative video. I should of found your channel earlier. Thank you.
just recently subscribed, also a noob in fpv, so take anything i say w/a grain of salt... all that to say your channel is informative, grounded/realistic, and honest. my only critiques, monotone cadence, video editing,referencing more est. reviewers, and lack of attitude/ personality. keep doing your thing young sir. thumbs up emoji
More budget tech please good content bro 👍
Been with you since the beginning, and learned so much from you too. keep it up! I think its time for ur first build???
Yeah that would be fun. Maybe in the near future!
@@MattPochwat I am just about to start my first build on my channel and i'm really excited. Just feels so much more gratifying to fly when you have researched the "Epic" components for a month.😂
Excellent review Matt. You really do have a nice way of explaining things. Appreciate your time. Subscribed.
thanks!
Awesome video
Hey man great review! Just wondering what camera you were using to record?? Looks great
Great video!!! Did you see a large improvement in reception when you upgraded the antennas on the 800d?
Hey Matt, just wanted to say this is really good content my man -- you seem like a really humble guy and understand the complexities of getting into our hobby very well and can articulate them! A trifecta!! You are gonna have a lot more subs before long :) also, forgive me for asking but how do you pronounce your last name? I'd like to recommend you but I don't want to butcher your name LOL
Haha I just saw this. It's pretty much Potch-Watt. Appreciate that!
Great information! I was very interested in your comment that it could be converted using the module bay to handle digital. Is there a digital module available? Thanks for the effort to pass this information on.
u have a knew suscriber great video
Nice review and video. I've used the 02X for 7 months and love the feel and view. Recently though my image has been darker and I noticed last week that the AV Out no longer works. I really love these goggles but now this happens after 7 months, *sigh*
great video, I can only add a thing, from my personal experience: box goggles make you "use" your eyes, and when you land they're a bit tired. binocular goggles, instead, let your eyes kinda relaxed, I feel the flight more pleasant
The EV800d has multiple functions for the buttons on the top - reviewing DVR footage in the goggles means pressing the SRC Menu - CH+ - then a combination of the buttons to cycle through.play/stop! I think this is normal for goggles in general to keep them simple
Just recently got my O2Xs as my first goggle and they are absolutely amazing. I couldn't imagine getting anything else for my first.
my update on them? Did they last?
Can you make a Video about „Why I use 4s instead of 6s Lipos with my Drone“ or „Why I bought the 4s version off the Nazgul5“. Okay, i would love it, when you answer my comment 😊
I was looking at these goggles and almost bought them, but then I thought that it would be a waste of time and money and went for DJI, which is more than twice more expensive but I have absolutely no regrets. And DJI goggles with 5.8Ghz analog module adaptor functions really well as an analog goggle!
Thanks for the review! I have been looking at these goggles for a while and I just ordered them. Any update on the module adapter? I've been looking into that option as well. However, I was recently looking at one online (can't remember which retailer) but it said it was for Skyzone03O. It doesn't say that it won't work for the 02 series so I was wondering if it's compatible. Have you tried it out yet?
Matt Awesome video, I wear glasses so I went with a FatShark Scout do you have any recommendations for people with glasses?
already I use it. better receiver than fatshark module. love it. 😆😆
ı searched a lots of videos but it is best one :)
but he has only had two pairs of goggles :/
I just went from box Googles to the Eachine EV200D. I really love the image quality And the FOV (42). Whats the fov of your goggles?
Thanks for the review! Very nice opinion on someone going from box goggle to compact style goggle. Why do you make the jump though why not go directly to DJI?
Dji is alot more of an expense than just the goggles. The goggles are the main purchase but you have to remember that the point is to use them with the dji air unit which adds extra cost to your setup. A good pair of analog goggles will be alot more universal and easier to use with analog drone setups which are still way more common
good advice, i'm having trouble giving up the ev800d's, its so immersive, and yes when i crash it is awful, especially when its something you didnt see or realize was even a risk, like a fallen tree branch stick straight up, almost fell off my chair.
I just picked up a pair of 02c from banggood for £162 👌👍😉 lets get bk into fpv 😀
Hey Matt got a quickie question for you, I’m also considering these goggles as my first upgrade from my Ev800d’s, is the reception on the skyzone goggles better than the reception you would get with the ev800d’s using the same antenna setup?
Hi, i would like to know which simulator you use with your taranis qx7. I have the Same radio Controller but dont know which Simulator to use. Keep the nice work up. Fascinating Videos
I like velocidrone
Total agreement with being a little anti-big box. As a possible new entrant to fpv, i can’t do the box on my head. In fact, i’m even having a pause with the beautiful, cool, sporty slim goggles with SPACE CADET ANTENNAS sticking out. While i’m at it, the boom box radio controllers seem so yesterday. My possible entrance will be helped with small, cool, easily packable, very travel-friendly goggle, radio and sub-250g cinedrone. Yes, i’m losing out in my wait, but i see the industry is new and growing. Maybe in 2022 i will enter.
You can change the aspect ratio so the screen fills most of the space you see on the goggles
i JUST bought a pair of the 030 this morning lol but great video! i was trying to get the 02c but noone in the states had em for sale so i wnet for the 030 used with a module adapter. thats another thing, skyzone made a module bay that lets you use a fatshark (or any other) receiver module on your goggles. it plugs in via av-in so i hear its also possible to use the adapter for your ev800d. the adapter is like $10, check it out if u wanna try rapidfire module lol
Yea that's the module adapter that I bought. That's interesting though, I'll definitely try to hook it up to the Ev800d's.
I think you are going to love the dji googles fov if you like the bigger fov from the box googles
Yea I think so too. One day :P
Imma do it. Friggin first
i own ev800d, but make it as ground station which mean ev800d become monitor attach with tripod. It depend on how the way you flew your quad. Even freestyle on small or big quad, ev800d as monitor til now. :)
I got the 02X also. And skyzone are so nice. But i have not the experience that i am watching an tv. Its more watching a big cinema. Espciallly when you put the IPD sliders good. Really immersive.
Those linear antennas would’ve worked great for flying whoops or anything with a linear on the vtx side
Great channel Matt! Very helpful!
I’m new to FPV, trying to decide between box (fat shark scout) or dual screen (sky02O)
My flying style will likely be free style / cinematic instead of racing - so I do appreciate the larger FOV from box goggles.
How would you make the decision if you didn’t have access to a retailer to try?
However, lots of reviews claim that the box goggles (esp the scout) that do not have adjustable focal points, could result in eye strain.
Any idea where to get a better foam for the sky02x? It's hard to find any...
Thanks!
Please provide recommendation for antenna bundle compatible with Skyzone goggles. thanks
I’m thinking about getting into fpv (so I’m still learning everything) and was thinking about the nazgul5 4s and was wondering if it’s not any trouble to get these goggles working with the nazgul5 4s I also was thinking about the fat shark scout goggle, or if you have any other goggles to recommend as these goggle cost a lot . Sorry if this is a stupid question but I’m still learning, loving the content. 👍
Sorry keep adding to this hopefully when you see this you can answer my questions :) but I decided to get the Radio Transmitter: Taranis x9 lite, and do I just have to get the FriSky R-XSR 2.4GHz micro receiver to bind the transmitter with receiver?
That drone will work fine with these goggles, and any goggles for that matter. And yes, the Rxsr will work. Or if you are trying to save on money you can get the Xm+ reciever too.
6:11 Currently i use those white Box Googles from Emax wich are nice, but i am looking into getting one of those smaller ones, but i want to be the drone not watch it, any recommendation wich Googles gives you the best First person immersion? Maybe something that has build both ? Like a zoom in and out button or somthing. (Very new to this)
Hi Matt, I have a set of these Skyzone 02X goggles and am having fits trying to figure out how to make them start recording, stop , or playback recordings thru the DVR As shown in your review at Time 12:03.. When I try to start a recording generally I get into a LOT of trouble and the screen goes to static or else the Front camera turns On.. so I loose the drone as it crashes instead.
Is there any reliable way to start recordings before I ARM and take off? I press the REC button and that doesn't usually toggle the red camera RECording icon on.. or start the record timer with it.. I have occasionally seen this icon and timer for brief periods of 3 seconds then it goes OFF. but generally I can't turn recordings ON or OFF.. Much less get it to play back. How do you do this please?
How would you compare these to the Eachine EV200D? I can't seem to find the Skyzone 02X or 02C in stock anywhere. :(
Hello Matt, thank you for your Great work! I'm new in the fpv world and i'm going to buy EV800D to upgrade my EMAX EZ Pilot Kit, do I Need ti change the antenna of the goggle or they are good? Greetings from Italy 🇮🇹
You can start flying with the antennas that come with it and upgrade later!
@@MattPochwat and if i want upgrade the antennas, do you have something to recommend? :))
I think you have your screen set to 4.3. That's why it looks small. Try changing it to 16.9.
Matt love this channel, you're informing a lot about the nazgul and all the goodies. But can someone here tell me what the point of discharging is suppose to be? Im very confuse.
Discharging keeps the batteries safe, wayyyy less likely to cause a fire,.and it makes them last longer and have less sag. Generally you should discharge batteries if you arent going to use them for a few days, but sometimes i push it to a week😁
@@leviathannfpv1282 gotcha gotcha, so I assume Storage is when its to the point where I wont use it towards the month periods. Also for discharging a 6s battery..... the numbers?
@@revirb9049 storage is 3.8 volts a cell, so for 6s its around 22.8, at storage the chemicals in the battery are at their peak "resting point", so it should last basically forever without any effects :)
Leviathann great, and one more question. So when flying the quad what voltage should I stop flying?
@@revirb9049 it depends on how aggressive you are flying. for instance if you are racing super fast, your voltage will drop into the 19 volt range for a few seconds. But if you are cruising you shouldnt go past 21. This is because of the battery sag , the voltage is inconsistant. But a good way to tell is to get into a of hover for a few seconds, and if your voltage gets to the mid 21's you should probably land. Because then it will probably around storage when it is resting. This is just a technique i use, because as a fast racer it can vary a lot
I have the module bay and rappid fire does not feel like it sits in securely
Guys can anyone compare these to the Attitude V5? Looking to buy either one, not sure which to choose..........
what are some good antenna to invest in? also can u replace antennas on boxgoggles? i am interested in the fatshark scout and the eachine ev800d but they seem not to have the same antenna replacement options like the smaller goggles, am i wrong about this? what are some good box style goggles that can be upgraded with antennas?
I use the same antennas on these ones as I do on my EV800Ds. I would definitely recommend them
the amount of subscribers just isn't good enough, you probably spent a lot on the camera, and I got to say, it's really really good! Im still on too much of a budget to afford this, but one day, there may be even cheaper goggle better than this! tech will always get cheaper at one point.
Box goggles!
in the cheaper route, theres plenty of options. eachine ev100d are like 100 and are dual screens like tis but i hear its 27 degree fov and super small screens, also no dvr or diversity. then theres the hawkeye little pilot vr, a box goggle type goggle that uses mirrors to show u the screen, and has diversity but no dvr, its $80. thats the sub 100 range. if goin under 200, theres the fxt viper v2, which are the same as the little pilot but it has a dvr and better quality but its $180. a used pair of auomway commander v1 can be found for around $130 and i hear they are great beginner goggles. alot of reviews say its not that good because it released at like $200 and at 200, its pretty bad. but if u paying 130 then its pretty good. oh i forgot theres also the fatshark recon v3 which are beginner box goggles for $90 but i hear they suck. then theres the fatshark scout; box goggles with single antenna at $200. the scounts i hear are great goggles but since theres no diversity, range might be an issue later on. also the dvr on the scounts are 60fps hd, and are better than every dvr in fatsharks all the way up to hdo lol then the next tier are these skyzones 02c and 02x, which are like $270 and the fatshark attitude v5 at 300. i saw a guy selling a pair of skyzone 030 with battery and module for 350 so i had to jump on that deal lol but if i never saw him, i would have gotten attitude v5. i contemplated ALOT on which to buy between skyzone 02c and attitude v5. in the end, soo man ppl said that fatshark has the besyt customer srvice. and at the $300+ range, you want good support cuz your goggles are gonna last you YEARS. with that said, the lower quality attitude v5 would have been my choice. yea skyzone kills attitude in screen resolution and features tho. just what i leanred from a month of researching lmao im new to this hobby
oh, the ev800d are prob the best options for sub $100. forgot to say that lol they are like $100 in usa shops, $80 from china. but if you look around u can find used for like $70-80 in the states
@@vmiget01 yeah, i heard about them, they are pretty good, and i should get it for probably about 80 or even 70 since I buy from mainland china (taobao) also, how come you replied with the same reply but two are written differently?
So did the o2x come out after the o3o’s?
Would these still be worth it for a cheap analog route instead of a box goggle?
Isn’t the camera made for people with glasses so they don’t need to also put on their glasses?
Great video BTW
That's a good point! I guess if you are nearsighted that could definitely be a benefit!
The skyzone 02x isn’t available now where do i get an fpv goggles with a front facing camera?
come w batteries? if not which should I buy and do I need a charger? (is there a way to get a charger for both my drone batteries and the goggle batteries + what are the best options)
The goggles have to be plugged into a battery at all times in order to be powered up so you can't charge them. They have to be plugged in. They come with the cable to do that but no battery. You can use any battery with an xt60 connector at the end, including one of your flight packs (drone batteries). This is what I do. However, it would probably be smarter to use a "headset power case"
@@MattPochwat Thanks a ton, keep it up w the videos !!!
My friend has these goggles but he complains about double vision how can he fix that?
can i use 1300mah 4s 120c lipo for power this googles???
How bout the fat shark attitude v 5s. You can upgrade the module in those?
Yea you can!
Man, I couldn't find the info about Battery Time of Goggles .
The Mkbhd of fpv lol
i waited and got sky04x's lol
why don't you try to use fatshark attitude v5? I am still confused to buy which one is the fatshark attitude v5 or goggle that you discussed (skyzone sky02x), because the main reason for my confusion is whether it matches the face shape of Asians (more precisely Indonesian people), I hope you can help me
I fly the Holy Stone HS700 drone and use the Gopro Hero 11 mini. Will I be able to pair the Skyzone 020 goggles with the 11 mini so I can look through the goggles rather than viewing the flight on my mobile phone.
I don't think you can interface a GoPro with a 5.8 GHz analogue video transmitter. action cams are only used to record HD footage to a memory card.
Newbie here asking a dumb question: Do the dual screen goggles give you depth perception (3D) like you would have in dual screen VR goggles?
No for 3D the drone would have to sport 2 cameras.
Only very few drones have 2 cameras. 3D is not recommended for fast moving pictures.
It would just stress your eyes and lower your flying performance.
2 screens can be adjusted to meet your pupilary distance and prevent seeing double pictures
@@mariusschmitt5855 Thanks for the reply. Makes sense.
Are SKY03O and SKY02O newer?
is it 4:3 or 16:9 or both?
Heyy can I maybe buy your eachine ew800d from you?
I was here before this guy went big in fpv community!
he's not big, i think a lot of non-fpv pilots think he is big.
@@leviathannfpv1282 lol, this message is a statement you must read 2 years from now.
@@FPSDROP 😆 yep, we will see if Matt pochwat will become a good pilot though,
@@leviathannfpv1282 I know lots of good fpv pilots who can't produce quality content like this :)
@@FPSDROP yeah, lets hope he will continue to learn more and become an amazing pilot so he can share more his skills
Do you use they in 4:3 or 16:9 because they have 16:9 screens ?
I like to use 16:9
does the o2c (cheap one I think) support 3d vieuw?
Actually, no they do not! I did not notice that earlier. I'll have to add a disclaimer, thanks!
Been waiting on these goggles for a month and a half from china ☹️ I’ve been flying line of sight for nearly a week because i finally built my first drone but have no goggles lol.
International shipping has definitely taken a hit with all that is going on in the world. I've been waiting for the same amount of time for a cinewhoop 😥
Matt Pochwat I finally got them! What a crazy feeling ripping through the air in first person! No comparable feeling
To bad you can't get them right now. But I'm right where you are. I don't want my box goggles (i'm far sighted) but I want to convert to digital so don't want to spend too much on an analog setup but don't want crap.
Why did u choose sky02x over fs v5???
i can get a second hand skyo2x for about 160$. Should i get them?
yes.
These look identicall to my sky o3🤔
Told you so.. FPV goggles are way to go 👍🏻
I got my HDOs with rapidfire in 2020 for $330
where?
@@nicolapolitopoulos2676 I'm about 99% sure he bought them used
Our idea of "budget" seem to differ.
So were the sky zones not worth it? i think you upgrade to fatsharks, right?
No I still use these, just put a Fatshark sticker on them. I hear rumors that it drastically boosts performance 😎
@@MattPochwat lol I might have to try the sticker idea...
It looks like Matt is trying to laugh to the whole video and holding it
None of the links are working.
yo you can your screen on 16;40 so you have a bigger field of vieuw.
Why not review the skyzone 03o's? These are the not as good version than the 03o.
7:40 I think that's just you.
