I think manufacturers should make these new mirrorless SLR cameras with Fat shark goggles conectivity,surely it would be much easier to use than an LCD panel or a tiny viewfinder. EDIT>>> i do see it has an HDMI output,maybe that will work with goggles.

I also had this idea, even before I knew about Fatshark goggles. When out in the bright daylight it is very hard/impossible to see the LCD screen, so yes goggles would be perfect for certain situations. Though I can also think up things that just wouldn't work well with goggles on. But certainly goggles should be part of camera gear, as much as a tripod. Hope they'll come up with somehing like that in the near future.
In theory using FPV goggles could work, but a camera is not exactly a PC. You may need to install software or a driver to use the goggles on a pc, which then can't be done on a camera. Maybe the goggles make use of drivers already present in Windows. There is a small chance it does work anyway, but I'm not sure.
