![]() While we’re on the topic of the screen, I wanted to bring up something unique about the fresnel lens used in these goggles. I spent the last two weeks flying with these goggles and never noticed the lack of video quality over my Dominator V3s. For this reason, resolution matters less than you might think. It’s worth keeping in mind, though, that our FPV gear is putting out low resolution analog video feeds. The 480x272px has less than half the pixel density of comparable goggles that are a similar price range. The screen resolution is probably the biggest disappointment of these goggles. I mounted a flight battery to the back of the headstrap with velcro. Here is the goggles assembled and ready for use. Overall, I found this interface very refined. All of the selection information as well as the scan progress is shown on-screen inside of the goggles. When you select a band either manually or through the scan feature, it is saved in an internal memory and recalled every time the goggles are power cycled – until you change it again. All bands are supported, including race band. The other two buttons allow you to individually select the band (“B”) and channel (“CH”) you are receiving on. The “SRC” button allows you to switch between the AUX input and the internal 5.8GHz receiver. The big one marked “S” activates the autoscan feature, which iterates through the 5.8GHz band and stops on the first channel with good reception. The controls for the goggles couldn’t be easier to use. One is a 14dBi directional patch antenna, and the other is a 4dBi omni-directional. I find it amusing that just a year ago I bought just such a pair of antennas for another quadcopter build I was doing for $45 – near the price of these entire goggles! The goggles come with a pair of circularly polarized antennas. This is a feature that most midrange goggles do not even come with but is a big help in getting great video reception in places with a lot of RF noise – like at most FPV races. In my opinion, the two 5808 RX chips set-up in a diversity configuration is the big selling point of these goggles. A 1300mAh 4S battery should power the goggles for more than 12 hours. In practice, however, I simply soldered an XT-60 connector onto my goggles and use a flight battery to power them. At first, I was put off by this as I feel asking beginners to buy their own goggle batteries just adds unnecessary complexity to getting into the hobby. Instead, the goggles come with a power cable and support for a wide input voltage range. The FuriBee goggles do not come with an integrated battery, or any battery at all for that matter. I’m sure the goggles are fine durability-wise, but I did prefer the soft-touch rubber of the KDS goggles to the thin plastic we see here. They are made from a thin plastic that feels cheap and fragile to the touch. I wasn’t as impressed with the actual feel of the goggles. Either way – the important part is that I feel perfectly fine wearing these goggles for long periods of time. I did notice a little bit of light leakage out of my peripherals – this could probably be fixed with some thicker foam if you are feeling clever. They fit my face fine with all parts of the goggles that touch my face being padded. I am glad to say that the FuriBee VR01 goggles do not have any problems like this. They had hard plastic nosepieces which did not fit my nose properly and were extremely uncomfortable. This is one area that I found the KDS goggles severely lacking in, for example. ![]() ![]() One thing no spec sheet can really describe is the ergonomics of a pair of goggles. Please, for more information, visit the links below.These goggles are very comfortable, especially compared to other budget goggles. Once folded thanks to its double propellers, it really occupies little space. Hello friends, in this video I want to show how I modified FPV 5.8G the last folding quadcopter that has come to my hands, with a cool design that reminds the great mavic of the DJI. ![]()
