| And i must say they are fucking AWESOME ! Screen is massive and easy to focus on,they are smaller than imagined also and surprisingly lightweight. Absalutely love them and can`t wait to fly with them after christmas. 10 / 10 from me ...obviously not having tried other top end goggles my opinion has not that much worth but they are great _________________ | |

| I also bought a pair of them yesterday. My current goggles were already dated when I bought them. They're so old, even the LCD screens are fading a little. Could be over 5 years old now, from before FPV became a thing. I hope I can also use them on the pc. Have you tried them with a flightsimulator yet Mucky? Now the long waiting | |

| Hehehe...i don`t think you will be disappointed m8,i think they are great and also very comfy on my face. I have not tried them with a flight sim yet,have been really busy over the holiday and not had any time to do much at all.
Hope you like them as much as i do m8. _________________ | |

| Since you're not that easily impressed and saying they are great, I'm sure I'll be fine. Specially coming from a 2nd gen Fatshark, I expect it to be a lot better, clearer, sharper, greater range, etc. I highly recommend trying it on a flightsim first, it's not exactly like real life, but close. It will save you a lot of crashes and broken stuff. Received mail they got shipped next day. | |

| My EV200`s have arrived
Have not tried them yet, but looks good so far. Only little problem is they did not include a pair of antennas. Checked on Banggood and indeed they get shipped without the antennas. Got a couple of my own anyway, but would have been nice to get some new antennas with the goggles. Need to find a way to hook them up to the pc now. But my graphicscard only has 1 HDMI port, which is already in use by the VR headset, so think I need to get a Displayport-to-HDMI adapter. And the cable that came with the goggles is very short(1meter), need to get an hdmi extension cable also.Feels comfy on my face when wearing. They are slightly bigger then my old goggles, but not much heavier. Can't wait to try them out, either for FPV outside or on the pc But at least I've got them now, and they look to be in good condition. | |

| Glad to hear you got them and they fit nicely like mine do. Did you get black or white ? i got black ones as am not keen on white stuff. This may be a cheaper option than a display port adapter for goggles to PC... https://www.banggood.com/HDMI-Male-to-2-HDMI-Female-1-in-2-out-Splitter-Adapter-Connector-Cable-p-944023.html?rmmds=search&cur_warehouse=CN _________________ | |

Thanks for the link Think I'll buy that one, and a extension cable from banggood also. - Quote :

I got black ones, cause white can cause glare inside the goggles in sunny situations. Also when the image is bright it can reflect via the white plastic back onto the screen. Tested them earlier with one of my drones, everything works fine so far, very happy with the quality. | |

| Bought the HDMI splitter, and a 3meter replacement HDMI-miniHDMI cable. Costed me only €8,88. Could have gotten 1 euro discount by exchanging banggood points, but I liked the triple 8, so I decided to save the points for later. Saw on banggood that somebody was playing NeedforSpeed with the goggles, can't wait to try and see how it looks. Could try it now, but due to the short cable I need to replace my superheavy pc, which I'll probably do anyway cause I can't wait a whole week or more for the longer cable to arrive. | |

| EV200D Manual : http://img.banggood.com/file/products/20180320040948EV200DUserManuals.pdf Tried charging it through the pc and found the battery did not last very long, then I found this in the manual. I don´t have a proper USB charger, so need to order one from China. (Universal Dual USB EU plug 5V 2A) I also tried powering the goggles from the PC via the USB port, since you can hook up a USB powerbank as battery replacement, but the USB ports don´t provide enough current. Going to have to buy and try a poweradapter that can provide 7.4V. Like this one: Excellway 4-24V 2.5A 60W AC/DC Adjustable Power Adapter Supply | |

If it does 2A it should be fine. Mine all do way below that, even the one for my phone is at 0,7A max. Going to buy some extra batteries anyway, better safe then sorry. Think when well charged the battery should last about 1 hour or so. The battery is powering 2 videoreceivers, 2 screens, fan, sound and the DVR, that's quite a lot. | |

Also i have one of these,you can charge the 18650 seperately or inside the unit with the balance plug. they are great but a bit expensive. https://www.banggood.com/FuriousFPV-Smart-Power-Case-FPV-0384-S-For-18650-Rechargeable-Batteries-p-1339528.html?rmmds=myorder&cur_warehouse=CN _________________ | |

The Eachine batteries only have 1800mah, while the 18650's(incl charger) I found on BG are 3000mah. (link) Going to cost me a bit more as originally intended, but well worth it. | |
