Quanum DIY goggle set v2 for FPV

FPV goggles is must item you do not miss if you want to exciting experience. The best well known brand of these are Fatshark and Skyzone. But this cool gear is out of budget to me. The pricing range is about $300~$500. It is pie in the sky for poor RC maniac like me. But Hobbyking bring me good new they released DIY FPV Goggle set. This is only $56. Additional lipo battery ($12) and Video RX ($30) are needed. But it will be very reasonable choice to get this under $100.
Here are parts of Hobbyking’s Quanum DIY Goggle V2 :

  • IMG_42165″ TFT monitor with curved 3 X-magnifying lenses
  • Lightweight EPP foam goggle case
  • Neoprene light seal
  • Multi-purpose Neoprene google glove

This was very easy to assemble which only take under 10 minutes. After assembly was done, I connected video cable from Video RX to TFT monitor and fed 11.1v power to both of them.

Here is the result after I clean up the wires and put components into pockets.

When I turn on the CMOS camera which I build up at previous post, this TFT monitor displayed what camera had captured.

My first impressions are it’s not bad with it’s cost. But I entirely recommend to go Fatshark or Skyzone when you can afford to adopt those. The reasons are it’s too big, heavy and fat.
