Great for eyeglass wearers - solid unit regardless!

I've worn glasses my whole life, and have been recently getting into FPV. Box goggles were going to be my most likely option, since I didn't want to play with prescription or custom diopters for a fatshark - nor did I even know if I was ready to make that kind of investment. I saw a few fpv people on youtube wearing these goggles, and they seemed like the right concept for someone like me. They fit very comfortably over my glasses. I wear big chunky frames, and there is no issue at all. The display of the main unit is high quality and feels dense enough. The mirror system in the goggles is great, because it reflects a big wide image that feels very immersive. You'll get all the detail you need when flying. I have two whoops, a custom brushed with a wolfwhoop camera and an eachine trashcan. These cameras have two different image ratios, so I like that I can easily switch from 4:3 to 16:9. The interface for selecting channels and modifying settings is very easy to get the hang of, and the control stick / 5D button on the back of the DVR unit makes it so that you don't have to go hunting around for complex controls while you're wearing the goggles. My first unit had an issue where the DVR unit would occasionally record plain black screen instead of live video. The main feed always worked, but not necessarily the DVR. This happened about 1/3 of the time, reboots would usually fix it. I wrote to FXT about the issue, and they were quick to respond, which was something I really appreciated. We exchanged a few emails, photos and videos, trying to diagnose the issue. I was treated respectfully and kindly. Ultimately, FXT sent me a new DVR unit, which seems to be working perfectly. TL;DR - Works great if you have glasses, even big ones. Image is big and clear and immersive. Controls are simple and easy once you learn them. Hardware is reliable, but if you have issues, support is helpful and responsive. Easy recommendation for someone who wants box goggles, doesn't want to go cheap, and doesn't want to spend a fortune on high-end fatsharks.

Trust the 5* reviews, absolutely the best you can get with glasses in 2018

Got it on sale for $152 the week before Black Friday, with free shipping arriving in 6 days from china to US. The price was lower than bangoood! Anyway the carrying case came in mint condition, the silicon shield is soft and very comfortable. The mirrors inside are very clean, and fits well over my glasses despite my young age. The screen is good, and low latency (around 50ms? Need to test more with slow-mo Camera) My initial impression was that this goggles looks absolutely massive with the mirrors, but when I put it on I don’t feel that bothered anymore while flying The micro usb to xt60 cable though, was a really tight connection on the xt60 connector. Got to pay attention and unplug it carefully without elbowing your spotter in the face (I told him it won’t happen again) Also it has diversity. Compared to the other box goggles, these are the best and will NOT strain my already degraded eyes because of the 2 mirrors. Coming close to the end of 2018, these are top contender and UAVFutures was 100% correct on that.

Absolutely great!!!!

I have been debating getting a set of fpv goggles for a long time but always worried about the adjustments needed to fit and whether or not I would need my glasses to focus on a screen that was that close to my eyes. When I heard about these goggles I figured I would give them a try and if they didn't work I could always use them as a stand alone monitor. Well, all my fears were put aside. These things are great. Clear picture Light on my head (much lighter than I expected) The rubber shield on the bottom is easily removable to accommodate glasses. (I found I don't need to use my glasses with these because the mirror layout within functionally increases the actual focal length) Monitor easily snaps in and out and can be used by its' self I found that I leave the rubber eye cup part off of these when I use them. It doesn't affect use of the screen and also makes it easy for you to see what is going on around you or to quickly make direct eye contact with your model if needed. It also makes it more comfortable for others to try out fpv if they don't feel like they are being strapped into a sensory deprivation device. The open sides are less constricting and also work great when people have glasses on. Not a problem at all. I too had a problem with the HDMI plug being loose. A few emails to FXT and a new board was in the mail immediately. Superb customer service from this company. I don't think I've ever had such an easy resolution when it comes to hobby products. Thanks Linda!!! Overall I really like these googles. Great picture quality. The price is half of the other units I was looking at. They have true diversity. They can be worn with glasses. And you can unclip the monitor and just use it alone, which is great when you are working with setups on the bench. Oh and the company actually stands behind their product and has actual customer service that works!!! Five Stars. Buy it. If you have been waiting to get into fpv, now's the time. Just buy these, a couple of AIO fpv cameras, and tape them to every plane, boat, car, or tank you have. You will thank yourself later.

Best Box Goggles

I have had two other box goggles in the year I have been in the hobby and although they are not perfect, they are the best I have owned. Pros: ** Design for those with glasses. I do not need my glasses when I fly but they worked pretty well with the ocular cover. I opted to take it off and I like having the ability to look around, not having to move them off my face between flights, and being able to keep an eye on my surroundings for others. ** The receiver is impressive. Video, navigation, on/off ability/DVR are all great. the only thing I did notice with the DVR is that it cuts off the bottom of the video where some of my OSD readings are displayed. Which, in a way, isn't a bad deal if you want to have recordings free of display data for posting online. ** Comfort. The foam used could be better, I would use the same style padding used on VR goggles, and I can see it breaking down pretty quit but over all it is comfortable to wear for the moment. Battery: This will work with any battery that fits Fatsharks or barrel connectors and comes with an adapter for XT60. Cons: ** Padding. Could have used better padding that will last longer than what is currently used ** Contour to the head - It seems to be made to fit any size forehead, which isn't bad, but makes it feel a bit less snug than I am used to but is not a deal breaker. ** Size - Due to the design, it is taller than any other box goggles on the market. The case it comes in is huge and would not fit in my combat pack with the rest of my gear as is. The headset is sturdy and solid, so I might try to fit it in my pack on it's own and put the receiver in a smaller padded case. **No SD Card access - Despite having a micro USB power supply, it cannot be used to access the SD card while still in the receiver.

A new design of goggles that work great

Like any RC person when a new "thing" arrives it means everything stops to take it out and try it. I opened the box and noticed the Viper included the sweet carrying case. Awesome. My old goggles just get banged around. I'm a box goggle kind of flyer but all my previous setups were cobbled together from different components. I finally decided to get a good setup that was built for the purpose. The build quality on the Viper goggles is great. Assembly was easy and took about 5 minutes. Checked the manual to get the basics down for the auto search function, channel selection and DVR controls and headed out the door to fly. Initially I was having all kinds of break up problems and was disappointed. Till I landed and discovered a few problems....all my fault of course. My patch antenna was pointing way too high because of the angle of the screen. It already points up so I needed to get it closer to parallel with the ground. I also discovered I had my antennas backwards. I have a mixture of SMA and RPSMA antenna connectors and got the wrong antenna on the adapters. I fixed it all up and things were much better. I'm a 50+ year old guy that needs reading glasses and I was so hoping I would not need them with the Vipers but I do. I could see the screen pretty well but could not read any of the text. A pair of 1.25 glasses made it all clear and pretty. Glasses really do fit comfortably in these. I tried a few different circular polarized antennas to find the one that held the best signal. Turned out my Pagoda was the best. That with the patch antenna gave me clear signal out as far as I normally fly this particular plane and the patch was still showing 70+ on the signal strength. Oh, the data at the top of the screen like signal strength and battery level are a huge plus for me. The picture was clearer than any of my other goggles have been and no real adjustments needed once I dialed in the channel. I recorded a few flights on the DVR to check quality against my other DVR footage. Overall the DVR recorded a pretty good signal compared to some external ones I have seen. For a goggle based DVR it is as good as any I have seen. I included a screen grab from the DVR. The shot was taken from the farthest point I normally fly this plane to so the signal and DVR quality are shown. How is the comfort? Much better than most box goggles I have tried. The design moves the weight off your face and into a padded band around your forehead. Much better. It took a few tries at putting them on to get the angle of the screen just right to see it all. Once dialed in they were great. I even tried with the eye piece removed so you could look around while flying. I actually liked that mode very much. Now I can see if someone is walking up to me and still see the FPV easily. Overall the Viper goggles are what I hoped for. Now my FPV experience will be more comfortable than in the past. Thank you FXT for thinking outside the "box" on this design.

Nice Video Quality

I have three other pair of box goggles, none of them compare to the versatility and image quality on the Viper. I must wear readers to see clearly and these were made for just that. I just took off the nose enclosure yesterday. Totally different experience with them removed. Took a moment to get use to but, I kinda prefer it. I have only flown indoors so far so I will have to update as to the best way for outdoors. These are a very comfortable set of goggles and I HIGHLY recommend if you need readers to see up close. In my opinion the best goggles for this feature. The one flaw I have not figured out is the interference is very exaggerated and even powering down almost at times. Would like to speak to someone to see if I can get rid of it. Shouldn't be doing inside the house. Tried it with stock and upgraded antennas and same results. Overall once I get the interference issue resolved these are spot on. Thank you FXT!

Great goggles and a unique, comfortable option for glasses wearers who love FPV. Great features!

FXT VIPER FPV Goggles Video Glasses with 5.8 GHz 5" HDMI DVR receiver for Drone Quadcopter After coming across these goggles on a FB post, I was immediately intrigued by the unique design and look, as well as the claims that they can be worn with glasses. This is something that was really important to me as I wear glasses and prefer to wear them while flying and racing FPV. Though I wasnt sure what to expect, I was immediately impressed with the build quality and included features of the goggles. Nothing about these goggles feels cheep, poorly made or fragile. I immediately installed some antennas, plugged in a battery and tried them out. Here's my summary of opinions. The resolution is not HD, but the screen, colors, and definition are very respectable as far as image quality. FOV is large, but not so huge that you're force to look all around. The reflected optics are very easy on the eyes. The padding where the goggles make contact with your head is thick and comfy. The goggles feel comfortable with all the weight/pressure on your forehead and no pressure around your eyes or nose. The silicone boot around your face (which is removable for a more open experience if desired) is comfortable and fits easily over glasses. Channel selection is easy, intuitive and quick with super easy to read on-screen menus and auto-select. Reception from the built in diversity system is excellent and comparable to other popular diversity units available. Included adapters and wide voltage input range allow for multiple, common battery options (xt60 or barrel) Note: Does not include a battery. Built in DVR is easy to control with quick, on touch record onto an SD-Card (not included) Added features like analog video in/out an mini HDMI digital in are excellent additions. Removable screen makes for quick way to share the experience with nearby spectators. A few things I might change would include the micro-USB power input on the screen should really be a barrel connector. The joystick on the back to control the menu options works wonderfully, but I worry about the potential of it breaking if mishandled or dropped. Despite these few minor details, I think FXT has done a great job thinking outside the box (see what I did there?) to create a unique, quality product that can appeal to any FPV enthusiast. Especially important is those who require glasses while using FPV goggles. I would highly reccomend this product and look forward to other future FXT developments.

I'm legally blind so my circumstances are different.

It's hard for me to find something that will even allow me to fly at all! I first started los as most did but for me los is 10 feet. Not a whole lot of fun there but when fpv came along I saw a chance for much more distance. I tried a few different pairs of goggles settling on the FXT Marvel Vision II. They allowed me to use two lenses instead of just one and came with both. I think the reason was for different levels of magnification and not both at the same time. They worked about as well as I could expect but wanted to try something new so I after doing a bunch of online studying settled on these. The good thing about this pair is I can try any number of different reading glasses until I find the right compromise for me. I haven't yet but I'm sure i will ;-)
