so far these sound like "winners" from every review so far
RC model reviews had a friend with teleporters and stated these are BETTER then the fat shark teleporters

Oh the benefits of competative capitalism!

With all these more and more affordable choices, I see an order in my near future.

I'm holding out for the Quanum goggles with built in diversity. Fingers crossed they come out this month!

 

[DutchRC]

This month? :O That would surprice me.. But.. I wouldn't mind at all

Made to Mod

Hi everyone Steve here.
Just had to say that these goggles look like they are made to Hack and Modify I have watched all the videos made so far and I have purchased a set from Hobbyking along with the HMDVR and a OLED screen off of ebay and can't wait to jump in and start modding this great set of cheap FPV googles.

 

[DutchRC]

There indeed is quite a bit of room in them to mod them So far I have mainly just Used mine.. But for my video I did hack up a DVR into it as well..

For those interested in improving their Cyclops FPV visir, I have written new firmware that provides the following new features:

• Manual selection of all 40 channels.
• Frequency display in MHz
• Channel name display in clear text
• Signal strength display (useful for testing antennas)
• Support for an external OLED screen.
• A graphical spectrum scanner.

More information is found in this video:

I am currently working on implementing a battery voltage meter. That will be out in the upcoming 1.3 release.

We need a mod to use a external receiver like a 1.3 ghz
