FPV Equipment Shortage

[BadPanda]

I am hoping to move into FPV flying (planes) this year and I have been looking at equipment prices etc... It seems like there is a vacuum in the available equipment. Am I just looking in the wrong places or are most/all of the suppliers out of stock on FPV equipment. I'm looking for upper middle stuff;
Fatshark Attitude v6
Skyzone SKY 030
Run cam Split
not necessarily those exact models but in that range. Did I just pick the wrong time or is there a supply problem?

One other thing: What happened to the Flite Test White foam board? I was looking forward to trying it out and I see that it's not even listed in the store now. Inquiring minds want to know.

Thanks,
Dave

my understanding is that the newest white had a quality control issue and they were pulling back to the brown foam. If you dig around the forums, the details are here somewhere. IIRC the lamination process changed and the paper had poor adhesion quality - the manufacture changed the production process on FT, so they reverted.

looks like the googles are in stock here:
https://www.getfpv.com/fat-shark-attitude-v6-fpv-goggles.html (first place I looked)

same store has some versions of the skyzone googles, not sure about that exact model

not sure if this is the exact camera your looking for, but it looks like at least some run cam splits are in stock

Ok, thanks for that. I’ll look around

Thanks I’ll look again. Google didn’t lists any of those.
