Thanks for taking the time to do this review, been flying fixed wing FPV from monitor and looking to get goggles. This and another review I saw are making me lean towards the Skyzones.
the footage from you autumn flight in the bando building... sick. especially when you reverse looped through the concrete beams. cheers!

Just bought these goggles. Was looking for something that would get me into the sport and at this point....it didn’t break the bank!! Half the price of fat sharks and the frequency scanner is awesome. From my box style goggles.....these were a huge upgrade!! Waaay better picture!!! Thanks Drib!!
I'm so glad you did this video, I was on the fence until now. I have the version 1.2 SkyZones and they have worked great for over a year now, but I did not know the new ones have that scanner.
Thank you, I really appreciated this video. I've been looking at these for a while, but since everyone is using FS, I had my concerns that they could perform. You helped me decide towards these :)

I fully agree. I did my research first and bought the same goggles last year. Still great! I really like my Skyzone televiewers.. Awesome image Quality- distance or obstacles. Same price, more features, better tech IMO. Oh yah, and I really dig your flying style too. Smoooooth.
Great intro! 😂☺️ nice info on the goggles!
Hey you ...EXCELLENT !!!! Thank You ! I have these goggles (orange version thru Swellpro) and although I have not used much (YET) as I am trying to switch to FPV ...I learned more with your video ! Thank YOU !!!
Thanks for the review. I'm looking for a nice set of "ride-along" goggles that aren't too expensive but will still help to recruit more people into the hobby. The more people that I can get to experience first-hand FPV, the more likely our hobby is to grow in my area.

I try to answer as many questions as I can in the comments, but if there's anything you'd like answered in a video, reply here. If I get a few small questions I could do a Q&A thing, and if theres anything that could use more detail I could do a dedicated video (like this one :)

Hi, is it possible to set the time and date on these goggles? My videos are from "2014".

Great video and googles. One quesiton, do you fly PAL or NTSC? I read the skyzones have some PAL cropping issue on both DVR and display - is it noticeable to you?

After watching this, UAVfutures and a bunch of other reviews, I think it is time to upgrade from my old teleporter v5s to a pair of these. Thanks for the honest opinion!
Hey Drew, I got the Skyzones based on your recommendation (and also because I gave up waiting for the Aomway Commander). So far I enjoy the Skyzones a lot! What batteries should I use to power them? So far I went for old 3S packs that I no longer want to fly on. But you seem to use Fatshark batteries? Is that true? Why is that?
Awesome video & nice flying at the end. Just shows that you don't have too have fatshark goggles like everyone me included too blast through the air, prices are about same too.
The sky01 is cheap now, would you say it's as good as your 02v4 but less gadgets? Ie pic and range as good?
Hi i have received the same black ones yesterday. Just powered them with a 20C 850 mah. I can see the quad when i put on the googles but as i begin to take off I only get Noise in my screen (white dots like disconnected). Again when i switch channel or freq image appears. The moment i take off i loose the video signal. Please advise.
i have the skyzone v4, what is difference with about true d diversity in fatshark v3 dominator?
Hi I ordered this googles as I aslo plan to use it to display 3D stereo footage from HDMI, did you try it is it able to show sidebyside videos from hdmi? as a 3D VR glass instead of my 3D tv ...
Just got pair of sky02 3d v+... no manual... Got lots of help here tho. Thanks, you were more informative than the company i purchased from. XD
I just bought the new versions of Skyzone Sky02s Vs but was curious +Le Drib what antennas are you using for your goggles sir?
I always hoped that Skyzone would advance to a wider field view. The resolution of the displays could easily handle 35-40 deg fov
Do you still have them/use them?? I started with HDO's and I feel the displays/fov aren't large enough and thinking about going with these.
Hi Le Drib, do you now if there any plans of releasing a firmware update to support L Band? If they are updateables obviously. Thanks

Drew I fly with Sky02 goggles and like them better than FSv3. I think the image is better and fit me better. What are your thoughts on the SkyZone V3? My DVR does not work anymore and am looking for a new goggle. Will you be reviewing them?
Hi there. I am in search for my first non box goggles. I like very much the skyzone but the only thing I am afraid is the luck of a fan. Is is noticeable? Did do you have any issues of fogg? Your answer is important for my decision.Thank you .
Holy cow!!! Someone else who flies quads in Michigan😀 I was hoping I wasn't alone in this state. I lives your airport terminal video, can't believe you were allowed to fly there! Where do you usually fly? I just got my first quad in October, so I'm fairly new and looking for cool spots. Once this weather gets better lol. happy flying sir

Hi! Do you think that a pair of goggles that are equal to these but with 42 of fov would be better?
Great review..I think I'll be getting these due to a sale on these. I use glasses and refuse to wear contacts so the external camera got me sold lol. In my case about the front camera its faster to press and see instead of lift and put on glasses :). I use box goggles and when I lift them I Cannot see anything. There are times when I somehow wander and leave my glasses somewhere I use my drone to see as I walk back to my original spot.
holy smokes, there's a small camera built into your goggles. sick ! lol
Hey I ran into you at excel store in Michigan anyways the white skyzones you have me sold!!!!! What do you think about runcam 3 vs gopro hero 5 considering the price difference?
Great videos! Subbed thanks!
Hay Le Drib, do all the versions of skyzones have a frequency scanner or just the versions you have?
Thanks for the video.
Great video le drib! So I think you have convinced me to get the skyzone v+ . Do I need a camera like the foxeer monster 16:9 for the skysone v+?? it's so hard to find good info on them. Thanks man

nah I use normal 4:3 cameras. Stretches the image a bit but you'll get used to it after like one flight. It's never bothered me
They say you can watch movies with these . I've tried and they just don't seem to show up. Is there a special format. Mpeg avi etc
Pretty important to like your goggles. Good review on these. What's the FOV on them? You listed every other spec lol. I like flying with a big FOV. Just got some FS Transformers with the binocular attachment and they are killer, but most of the time I still wear my DOM SE goggles as they are easier to transport in my pack.

Not sure if you'll see this or not, but I was curious if you've tried out the skyzones with the TBS Tango? No one seems to be able to give me an answer on whether or not they work together. The Skyzones work with the groundstation which uses the same cable, but I've been trying to confirm that they'll work with the Tango as well :) If you happen to see this and can answer my question I'd really appreciate it as I rather like these!
Can you give the link to both antennas you recommend? Thanks in advance.
Is there a different between V4 or V+? Or does some store just use another name? - thanks
I have Skyzone sky02's and fatshark hd3's. the built in rx's in the skyzones are on par with my laforge diversity setup in the hd3's. And the nexwave module is crap compared to stock SZ rx's. I use the build in cam sometimes. not too practical but comes in handy when looking at a friends quad on takeoff or to quickly scan the area for anybody who might be close by, and maybe to grab my tx or something like that. sometimes when ur goggles are just right u don't want to take them off for a quick sec.
What kind of FOV do those have? Do they look really immersive? Similar to the big box type goggles? I tried the v3 fatsharks and it was terrible lol. Like a little tv 10 feet away
@LeDribFPV
7 жыл бұрын
Which fatsharks? The teleporters are terrrible. But the Dominatirs are nice and have a very large immersive FOV (45 I think?) The Skyzone FOV is around 30, so not as immersive as some others but I like being able to read the whole screen without moving my eyes too much

Dang 30? I think that's the same as the v3's haha xD I ordered the HD2 cause I really like the immersion since that's like the whole point for me. I'm curious to see how they look.
Can you use these with glasses, or adjust the screen. Thanks

Yknow what you can use that camera on those goggles for? Night vision. You have to remove the IR filter though and then put an IR flashlight on it. then have some fun.
Skyzones for the WIN! I love mine and they were SOOOOO much cheaper than fatsharks.

Ok so if you had to remake this video today for analog purposes. What upgrades and differences would there be in regards to what antennas you use?
Can u put a link to buy the antennas that you have added
I feel same way....I NEVER have had a pair of Fat's on at all, but purchased the Aomway Commander V1's and after using them seriously cannot see how Fat Shark could be a whole bunch better so have stuck with them, but may try these. I mean I thought maybe I should give the Fat's a shot for everyone does use them but I like you just cannot see the extra expense even if you have much more or just existing customer support/service may be fact of the matter and I may bite my tongue haha if I do in fact try them but do not see the call or need for another $200-$300 NEEDED expense after paying what was $500 since dropped for HD3's but yeah on top of that...I got the whole package and use them as came except my FPV antenna of choice and as you state on these they do the job, I have really no issues until I see WAY better!! I know the latest super diversity rx is spose to be "IT" the bomb but is it over rated? I probably will not know although on my lonely FPV mission FINALLY found that a few race acro quads do exist haha for four years from the fly field all the way to anywhere I went to fly I've seen until a month ago three drones and ALL DJI NO KWADS!!!??? A shop opened here in my tiny little suburb of Spfld. MO and we got connected and since I have found two groups and actually people besides me that do this here hahaha!! FOR NO HOBBY shops here have ANYTHING at all until they opened and I did see most of them think you have to have Fat's for most of them if not all did, they say mine and were shocked I laughed and said until I am given a pair or someone lets me strap on some HD3 or HDO's I will never know for I can't see sinking up to $700 in goggles even if the customer support is there heck mine go out and had them over a year I'll buy new ones still a better value in my eyes?? Thanks!!!

Would you recomend the sky02 or sky03 to me?
I was about to ask you in another video what goggles you use and then saw your video in the up next column on youtube with you saying what you wear. Thanks for the review. Couple questions, does it have a fan? I know the fatsharks always fog up until they added a fan, but you fly in Michigan where its cold so does it fog for you? I'm also near Detroit so and my quanum goggles always fog in heat or cold. Second you said the FOV is only 30 degrees. That sounds terribly small. Even the fatsharks that say they are 45 degrees is really bad. I want to get some goggles instead of the bigger head mounted displays, but the FOV on my quanums is way better than any fatsharks. Since they are a diy goggle, I don't really know the exact FOV though. I don't know how they measure FOV, but fatsharks look like you are looking at a tv down a hall, the head mounted displays are entirely immersive. How to the skyzones look compared to the fatshark?
how are the skyzone sky 01s? You recomend me the skyzone sky01?
Hi whats the price of those.Also does it have a hdmi output thanks
