Editor’s Rating: 4.3/5

VR007 Pro FPV Goggles are the least expensive on this review page but hey, let’s not cast them off just yet. The headset is well-constructed, nicely balanced, and fairly lightweight. They certainly feel comfortable once you’ve got them on properly. Inside the headset is a nice 4.3″ screen that has a pretty cool on-screen display. It shows all the essential info like battery life, channel, and so on.

They haven’t specified the battery life on the Eachine’s sales page but reports say it’s fairly decent. The low battery indicator in the headset lets you land your drone safely in good time. Believe me; you don’t want a headset to die on you when your UAV is up there, out there, somewhere, without your eyes!

Flying FPV with the Eachine VR007 Pro

The FPV experience is immersive and captivating. The screen—despite its actual size—looks big and impressive once you’re in there flying as the virtual pilot. You can also adjust the color, brightness, and saturation, etc., to personalize your viewing preference.

The Conclusion

These have to be one of the best value-for-money FPV goggles around at the moment. It wouldn’t be fair to compare it against products that cost a few hundred dollars of course. But it’s certainly an outstanding and innovative product in its class. It even comes with a customized eyeglass so that folk with myopia below 400° don’t even have to wear glasses with this headset.

2. Eachine EV800 FPV

Editor’s Rating: 4.7/5

Eachine EV800 FPV goggles are incredibly popular and affordable, especially among drone racers. The cost is around 20 bucks more than the VR007 Pro so let’s see what you get for the extra.

The design is smart with clearly labeled buttons along the top. The headset fits snugly on the head thanks in part to the comfortable face sponge. The goggles arrive with a built-in 3.7V/2000mAh battery, charging cable, and a few other essential bits. Inside is a bright 5″ 800*480px HD screen that Eachine have tuned specifically for FPV racing—but there’s more.

Another nice touch is the separable design. It means you can use the 5″ screen as an external tripod-mounted monitor or attach it to a compatible radio controller. The built-in 5.8GHz 40ch receiver is ultra-sensitive which is particularly notable with Raceband. The innovative auto-search function displays the current frequency on the screen at all times.

The Conclusion

This is yet another light, comfortable, and durable FPV headset from Eachine. It’s a particularly good choice for anyone just getting into drone racing. I doubt you’ll find a better FPV racing rig for the money. It’s super-easy to set up out of the box and which is another major plus point.

3. Flysight 40CH SPX02 FPV Goggles

The Flysight 40CH SpeXman two FPV Goggles cost a fair bit more than the first two picks. So are they worth the extra? Let’s get into the review and find out.

The goggles come with a decent hard shell carry case. Another nice touch is the attachments you get so that you can try them on with different eye fittings. These include eye caps, eye cups, and a premium leather faceplate. Most users opt for the latter option as it’s incredibly comfortable.

The goggles have 5.GHz diversity and 40 channels NexWave + airwave. They support bands A, B, E, F and R (Race band). The field of view is 30-degrees. The FOV and 854×480 resolution are the same as the costlier Fat Shark FSV1063 Dominator V3 (next pick). The goggle’s inputs include an HDMI port, AV inputs, and PPM input. You can use the HDMI for DJI Inspire, Phantom 3, and Phantom 4 drones.

Picture-In-Picture, Thumb-Stick Menu Control, and More

Another unique feature with these goggles is the picture-in-picture display or PIP Function. It may sound complex but it’s not. As far as the wearer is concerned the PIP function is super-easy to configure and it works a treat. These FPV goggles are full of surprises.

Something else worth a mention is the thumbsticks at the top for navigating the menus. On the other side of the goggles is a headphone jack. All these things are unobtrusive and don’t distract at all from the style or design of these goggles.

The Conclusion

I love these FPV goggles. They’re great quality and the makers have put a lot of thought into their product. They’re comfortable to wear and look a lot cooler than the familiar bulky box-style headsets. Heck, there’s even an integrated fan to keep the unit cool which is more than a lot of FPV units offer.

4. Fat Shark FSV1063 Dominator V3

Editor’s Rating: 4.5/5

Fat Shark FSV1063 Dominator V3 is one of the better known FPV headsets around. At around $350 (at the time of writing), they’re not what you might call a budget buy. So what’s all the fuss?

Well, the Fat Shark Dominator V3 FPV goggles are affordable if you’re an experienced drone pilot. They have particular appeal for anyone who wants a high-quality digital video for FPV racing. The Dominator V3 has a beautiful modulate design that fits comfortably on the head. FPV footage records with the onboard DVR. The product also supports HDMI-in @ 720p, sports WVGA1 6:9 images, and has a 30° field of view (FOV).

The headset can handle analog and digital inputs with ease thanks to its flexibility and power. It’s this flexibility and range of functionality that give the Fat Shark Dominator V3 its broad appeal. It really is a great product for serious amateurs as well as professional UAV pilots.

The Conclusion

There are a lot of cheaper FPV goggles out there. Although they don’t equal the characteristics of the Dom V3s you need to ask yourself if the extra cost worth it—to YOU. I’d say it’s justifiable for anyone who has a good medium-sized budget that they’re prepared to invest in quality FPV.

5. DJI Goggles 1080p HD FPV

Editor’s Rating: 4.6/5

The last of my top picks is the DJI 1080P HD FPV headset. If you know about consumer drones you’ll know that DJI is a major manufacturer and world leader in unmanned aerial vehicles. Their products aren’t cheap but you’re guaranteed high-quality and excellent value. This includes their goggles.

I’ve opted for a bundle here. It includes the first-rate DJI Goggles FPV Headset and a special goggles sleeve. There’s also a DJI remote controller for the Spark quad. It’s a great bargain but you can buy the goggles separately if that’s all you need. This headset supports the Phantom 4 series, the Inspire series, and also the Mavic Pro. Here are some of the highlights:

• Beautiful ergonomic design
• Up to 6-hours battery life per charge
• Supports intelligent flight modes
• Ultra-high quality screens
• Ultimate immersive experience

The DJI Goggles are incredibly comfortable to wear. That means the pilot can concentrate on piloting and forget about the headset. The two large high-quality screens provide direct visual control so you can capture video and aerial photos from above. These are serious goggles for serious drone operators.

The smart technology uses something called a beam splitter. This displays the image perfectly in front of each eye. Despite using two screens there’s zero image overlap.

The Conclusion

These are comfortable and flexible FPV goggles that work with specific drones from the DJI series. The optical design is flawless and the 2K resolution will not disappoint virtual pilots. They also have head tracking which is a feature not found on a lot of FPV goggles at the moment. If you own one of the compatible DJI quadcopters you’ll want to seriously consider the company’s own goggles for your craft.
