Goggles I own: 800D, skyo30, dji Goggles i use: 800D, Dji. Can’t beat the immersion and price of box goggles

Replaced my sky02x with the 04x 2 weeks ago and love it 😊

just got a set of 04x last week or so, absolutely loving them (granted I upgraded from vr01's so not much to compare to) but ipd barely enough for me (guess I have narrow eyes but after adjusting to them the first time, no double vision issues) and incredibly nearsighted but -6 is just enough for me. But also glad to hear sb works on em, heard something before about not working with certain skyzones so that's a relief. Great video as always

Since I upgraded to these from the attitude v5s the receiver diference is night and day , I can fly behind the house when I couldn't before on 25mw , and I can fly in the basement without the image rolling when it odherwise was rolling a lot

Fantastic flying and review, Nick!!! 😃 Yeah, on your tests RapidFire won! That's pretty interesting! Anyway, I'm considering this goggles and the Cobra X... But I still need to wait a while to be able to buy one of them. 😬 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

I agree, I would go with the skyzones if I had to choose between those 3 goggles. I use my dji goggles with a rapidfire module for analog. It took a little while to get use to them but now they work just fine for me.

My ev100 are doing just fine especially after installing the skyzone adapter w/ eachine 58 pro. I am not cheap just frugal. I only fly sub 250 and whoops. Great video as usual; Thanks

I really love my ev300o‘s and it’s a huge step up from the ev800d‘s. Maybe the 04x is better and higher resolution but if you don’t have took a look to compare these I think either both of the models are solid.

Great honest review! I’m a box goggle guy so it’s the Skyzone CorbraX for me, but if I had to choose between these goggles I’d definitely go for the Skyzone O4X.

Was box all the way... Until I tried the 04X, the focal adjustments allow me to finally see clearly without glasses, never could with any fatshark I've tried, which is lots. ev800d are good passenger seats now.

I had the Sky 04X for months then noticed the V2 version is out now with upgraded DVR to 60FPS! Thankfully I was able to return the origionals and now have the Sky 04X V2. Yes, it's worth it as they are also with latest firmware that works great.

Over all the Orcas with RF had the better reception. I have RF in my HDO2’s but not getting as good of reception flying in my neighborhood. What antennas did you use?

Thanks for the review Nick. Think you can try these goggles again and do a side by side with a TBS Fusion or Rapid Fire in the Skyzone goggles? Would love to hear your opinion of the O4x vs the Orca with the same rapid fire module. Would be more subjective, but it could help some of us that may pull the trigger on the more budget friendly Skyzones vs the more expensive Orca.

@@masterchief1205 Not when that 20x20mm AIO digital FC comes out that was leaked at the 2020 CES show a year ago! It was supposed to be released in July 2020, but the pandemic slowed it. Digital will take off and leave the manufacturers wondering how long they can keep putting out analog products that don't sell well. That's when even more digital products will continue to come out, making the old analog gear slow in sales even more, and new analog gear not be introduced. So, the manufacturers will stop producing analog gear all together because it doesn't sell well anymore. They can't make money when gear doesn't sell! Then we will bury analog, have a funeral, and tell it to REST IN PEACE. It happened consistently for my nearly 35 years in the electronics industry. You can't stop new technology!

@@noforyoutubepremium3108 Sc0t, actually I agree with the Master Chief that analog will likely be around for a long time.. and it certainly seems to be aided in that regard by the price.. I'm new to this FPV world byt wend with the 04Xs because I really like the fact that I can fly around and see where I'm going with reasonably low latency just fine on the lower rez analog screen and OSD but save the High Rez video content on a local SD micro chip using my RunCam2 4K or similar system like the Foxeer MIX with it's SD write slot.. and not have to invest so much in what might likely be a proprietary digital protocol that locks out competition and allows then to continue to charge so much more for such beautiful content.

Don't listen to these people that can't see the future of our hobby! Don't buy any analog goggles even close to $400! you won't use them for even 2 years before digital fpv is so dominant that you throw them away and buy digital! I say throw them away because no one will want them! Digital is already about 50% of the new products coming out! Damn dude, throw away your money if you want, but for barely over $400 you can right now convert to digital DJI V2 goggles and be in the future, not the past! That $50 20x20mm digital AIO FC will be out probably by Spring, and then Digital will really dominate analog! We've heard rumors of it for a year, and only the pandemic has slowed it down. So be patient or buy digital, but buying analog is craZy NuTs!

Yeah, I guess Nick didnt run into any of the multiple issues that exist in the 04X. I've had my 03Os for over a year, and picked up the 04X. In comparison to the 03Os, for me the 04X are awful. Bulkier, heavier, fit isn't as nice, the ipd and focus adjustments move out of position during any regular handling so every time you pull them down you have to make four different tweaks to get them back, and with 20/20 vision it just unnecessary extra hassle, the convex inner lense is more difficult to clean when they get dirty, and it's gonna wear over time so they imply a finite life where the 03Os have the neutral diopter for protection which easily wipes clean, and can be replaced easily and low cost, and I couldnt get a crisp view of the screen edges, they are so big I have to literally look my eyes nearly to their limit in different directions for each OSD element at the edge which means I'm looking completely away from the video feed that's opposite the OSD element, the auto scan is slow as molasses and I use auto scan to get me close, then click channel once or twice if needed, color doesn't look as good out of the box as the 03Os, but thay can likely be adjusted, the rolling and tearing issues with the receiver meant I couldn't fly over a third of my fleet with the 04x, they dont have the front pointing camera, took the rgb led away which I actually like to have on the 03O just for fun, and when I tried to use a third party receiver, a tbs fusion module, it was completely incompatible and wont fit even if you cut the goggle up because youd lose the scroll wheel on that side, and apparently no other 3rd party module except the rapifire fits in the bay (what is the point then?!) and the scroll wheel indexing "clicks" are not precisely synced with the menu selection indicator, and they are tiny, the fitment/alignment of the housing halves is pretty bad, much like the early 03Os... all this for friggin $500. I'll stop there. Honestly if you are coming from 03Os the 04X, even when they eventually fix some things, have very little to offer, and some of those items may be considered subjective and will not receive further attention. The 04X are so different from what the ads and the manual propose they are that they easily qualify for chargeback. The inexplicable module incompatibility alone qualifies them. I brought this and the screen tearing/rolling problem which made them flat unusable with some very popular cameras, to skyzone's attention right away and when I still hadn't received a reply after 8 days, I contacted the reseller who also reached out to skyzone, who finally replied a week after that (into the third week for reply!) by which time I was already over it, and requested the return shipping label. Truly do not sweat it. Imo, you still have the better of the two goggles. 03O's a tough goggle to top. Interesting you dont see much of these issues mentioned until you dig deeper, but no surprise. If you look at the feature spread, and the timing of each brand's goggle release, it smacks of collusion. Imo...anyway, enjoy flying in your top shelf 03Os. You ain't missing much, if anything at all, from the 04Xs.

If the camera and vtx are baaad and thay have off time pulses it can confuse the receiver module (rapid fire and fusion ect suffer the same btw) and you will get rolling and bad image , that's why there is a diversisity mode in the menu that makes the receiver act like old school receiver , so you wont have any problems with bad cameras

Being in the hobby for 4 years, IMO buying ANY analog goggles even close to $400 bucks is a very short term purchase and a huge waste of money! With the future of the hobby being digital, spending a lot of money on analog is a huge mistake. Analog will die in probably 2-3 years... and when I say die, I mean it will be absolutely gone! 😳 I was in the electronics industry for well over 30 years, so here's what happens... Digital will be coming out with new products, more companies come out with their version of digital FPV, and sales continue to grow at a fast pace. What gets left behind and doesn't grow, but loses sales? Analog! So, manufacturers see slower and slower sales of analog so they stop producing as much, and then discontinue the slowest selling SKU's, and eventually stop making them altogether. IT HAPPENS TO EVERYTHING SO DON'T THINK IT WON'T HAPPEN TO ANALOG FPV!!! Ask yourself this: How many analog cell phones are there still in use? Haahaa, those have been completely gone for well over two decades! How many people are still using CD's? Almost gone too! How about CRT TV's? The deep ones with the picture tube? Zip! Might be still in use, but how long has it been since the manufacturers stopped making them? Ages! Standard definition DVD's are almost gone too! How about small non-solid state hard drives (boot drives)? Camcorders nearly gone themselves, but ones using a medium, like a tape, CD, etc? Gone! Heck, compact cameras are gone! Just DSLR's are still here and believe me, not doing well! We've heard rumors Nikon could go out of business! Bulb using flashlights? incandescent light bulbs? How about for our hobby... The F3 chip based flight controllers! Flight controllers with Cleanflight. (many of you might not know what that is!) This is a good example of a product from our FPV hobby that was the software on flight controllers when I started 4 years ago this month. It's been gone for about 3 years! Betaflight came out, and it died very quickly! Sure, I think it's still here, but not really because almost no one uses it! Analog will die too, not quite as quick as Cleanflight, but close! Digital will dominate our new products, look now ... it practically is already, with close to 50% of new products coming out made for Digital FPV. I think it might be even more than 50% already... if not, it's damn close. What happens when 100% of new products being released are Digital FPV products?....?....? ANALOG IS DEAD! 😱 So, we're half way there! And you're even considering buying a new set of analog goggles costing over $400 hundred bucks???!!! YOU'RE NUTS! 🤪🥴🤯 If you think you have to buy analog goggles now, buy a good cheap pair of box goggles to use short term, but don't throw away $400+ on expensive analog goggles with analog 50% gone already! Just trying to $ave you from spending $400 bucks on something that will be worthless in probably 2 years! But, go ahead and waste your money, I don't giving a flying dUCK! LOL 🦆🤣🙄
