I've decided to stick with single screen units because of concerns with IPD. My IPD is a bit wider than average. Single screen just seems like a safer bet. I've got it narrowed down to 3 units. I would be using these goggles primarily on planes.
Least expensive...The Quanum V2 Pro kit. Once I add a diversity receiver and a couple good quality antennas, I'm into them for around $130. They do not have HDMI input, so I couldn't use them with my Phantom drone, but it have a nice bright panel display anyway. I use an iPad mini with the Mavic, so goggles are not a necessity there either, just a nice bonus since I seem to fly my drones more than the planes.
Next...Headplay SE V2. These have HDMI input but no diversity. How important is that? They seem to be a good buy at $210. I saw a couple videos where they said the receiver was junk, but that might have been an older model.
Next...Fat Shark Transformer. Also appears to have HDMI input.
All of these look like they have a movable Fresnel lens for focusing to your specific needs. They all get pretty decent reviews. The only reason I'm considering the Quanum kit is to test the waters with FPV. If I like it, I can upgrade and use the cheap set for passengers. I also like the fact that I can use any receiver I want. Headplay and Fat Shark don't appear to be modular.
I was originally going to buy a set of DJI goggles because they work with both the Phantom 4 and Mavic, but getting an analog signal into them from a 5.8GHZ receiver seems to be a challenge. They would work great with my DJI drones, but not with any FPV gear on the planes.
Then there is the Dominator V3. I'd be into them for around $400 with receiver and antennas and they have HDMI input. The form factor blows away the box goggles but there may be an IPD issue.
What's everyone think?
