The viewfinders seem to be a great idea for FPV googles. Modern cameras have viewfinders with 1MP or higher resolutions, so maybe the replacement viewfinders are available to be used for googles.
Yeah, this must be an older video as we can get it already in goggles with two viewfinders built in for $100-$250. But this is a great video and I'm sure spawned creativity in many
enseñame! como hacerlo quiero volar! y la fuerza aerea me ah cortado las alas, asi que estoy decidido agarrar un avion de maqueta que tengo y hacerlo un dron que consejos me das!.
Great project sir! Thanks for sharing this :) I actually have the version of those screens with suction-cups in my wish-list.. But.. I wondered if it wouldn't have been cheaper to use 2 small LCD's, and maybe cut up a set of reading-glasses as lenses?
+DutchRC Adventures I know the item you mean, it's a nice tidy package. I found that the range from which you need to look into this lens is very small though, I have to wonder how well it would work when placed on the outside of glasses.
Interesting concept! The idea seems quite uncomfortable to me however, I don't like being limited to one eye at all. The Skyzone googles have a feature to switch to a built-in camera with a button too, not sure if you're aware. I recently learned about the yet to be released HeadPlay googles, I would probably be getting those if I was looking for good value goggles atm
Hello. I need you advice. I want to creat a DIY FPV GOGGLE using two mini monitor like you use in this footage, but with night vision digital mini camera. Can you guide me with wireing?
okay I love diy myself, but why not just buy the v2 of the quant googles I hve both and they a MASSIVE improvement u can wear glasses with them and near no light pen thanks to the neoprene sleave around it plus higher rez screen. just pop your rx in one side wires under it and 3s batt in the other side. they are a massive improvement and cheaper than this monocular
Great show Mate, I built something like it 2 or 3 years. Did you ever think about swimming goggles? That's what I used. There's room for the eye piece bring it alittle closer to your eye and you don't have to cut the plastic. Drill 1 little hole for the wriring . Just food for thought.
Great project , thanks for sharing :-) You need to buy yourself a dermal tool for cutting plastic !Cheers

I used to fly using an 9 inch monitor and nothing more. The only thing was that I was tempted to move my eyes and look at the copter instead of focusing on the screen. And, as anybody probably knows, the moment the eyes move from one point of view to another, the controls directions shift. But my brain lagged a lot in reorienting and usually ended the flight with a rough landing. So now I prefer the goggles that completely prevent me peeking out. Not working at the national bank had me being wary of my budget and I found many good deals with older, second hand equipment. Paid like $50 for a set of used, mauled case but otherwise working set of v1 fatsharks. Two days of epoxy and carbon patching of the soldering iron holes in the case made by the previous owner and now it's alright. Eyepieces with a good fov and resolution are prohibitive even at the cheapest Chinese shop.
I got 2 vr d2's and I cut one of them in half just so its more of a screen that I can give to someone who might be intrigued. Anyways I was wondering if there is some kind of demagnifying lens I could use so I could make them wearable. Only reason I would get fatsharks right now is that the compact size looks cooler and they are more practical to carry around.
great video chris, this is still on my list of thing to venture into, the Fatsharks just don't fit me, and don't like the price either. Only problem seems to be getting decent oled micro monitors
i've been wanting to make a one-eyed fpv, military style since i won't be racing, rather i'll be flying long range, i need to keep line of sight so as not to lose rc connection
maybe you could have hacked the viewfinder out of some really old camcorders? That would probably be cheaper, the question is wheather the quality is sufficient :)
I have a project that would be much less complex if it were possiable to direct wire the camera to the goggles. It this is possiable can you post a link in the reply. Thank you
Iforce2D: Great video...was it from DVR connected to your eyepiece? Your commentary during the video was exceptional! Have you toyed with 3D video yet? Jim
+iforce2d yep..but the title of the vid did said? i have a good one,, how about a mini fan set up for the teleporter v3s. those goggles will be dirt cheap soon but work fine for beginners, just fog up little. im not talkin punch holes in the eye piece either..I just picked up a brand new set/combo never used with Tx and all the goodies/case for 150.
+Multirotor Go at first I wondered what the hell you are talking about, but you mean the ski-goggles right? That's a good idea, I think it would give the best of both worlds. Hmm... might try that sometime, thanks!
+iforce2d LOL. Yes I meant those. I got them even before getting the quanums for that purpose after seeing a lot of reviews and modds on the quanum goggles. I specifically bought this cheap ones bit.ly/Padded-Motorcycle-Goggles The strap of the sky goggles instead of going around my head goes in front of the sky goggles and then around the front of the quanum so they get fixed to them. On the V1 the straps of the quanum that should go around my head, I use it to secure both half of the V1 together and also keeps the sky goggles strap at the sides, well secured. Oh and also keep a Jockey hat , like the one on your video, attached to the quanums. So the quanums get secured to my face by the Hat. On the v2 I also put the sky goggles strap around the quanum foam and under the neoprene sock. To keep the little light that can get in out, I just use electrical tape between the sky goggles and quanums goggles gaps. Hope it solve your problems. I would never think on using the quanums with out the sky goggles, for sure it must be a very uncomfortable experience, with them is just the perfect FPV goggle experience you can have right now IMHO
Have you made any progress on this? I just recently found the module on banggood and had this exact idea so I started searching and found your video. I would definitely want to give this a shot if you think it is worthwhile. Does the screen display static when there is no video signal? I plan to 3d print a mount to get the modules in the right position in front of my eyes. Please let me know if you have any other tips or info about these modules.
Shame they're so expensive given how low tech they are. Pretty niche application I guess? Have you looked at something like AndyRC's EasyCAP video and Banggood SKU299686? Latency looks acceptable!
+alhazan hmm... it seems a bit heavy to have my phone out on the front of the goggles like that, and what happens if somebody calls me in the middle of a flight? Hopefully you can disable calls or something. Generally the latency on systems like that is ok for slow photography flying but not fast enough for going through trees and stuff, I'm always suspicious of A->D video like that.
+iforce2d I'd always assumed the latency would make it unusable but AndyRC claims it's pretty good. As for weight yeahhh. Maybe you could take the battery out and hack up an external power solution? Might play with it as I've got an EasyCAP (I think it's a knockoff though). As for calls.. airplane mode? :D
hey man for the same or less you can pick up some topsky VG260, modify the eye width and put in ski goggles like you have, that's what I've done and they work great.
+Samo Cooper that looks pretty cool! I don't see any for this price, but they do have two eyepieces in them if that's what you mean. Look out fatshark hahaha
@@iforce2d actually i had a different use with this monoculars. thats why i was confused abt the glasses part :) how is the image quality of this monocle?
I want to display some kind of data n images on glass like object. Where can I find any laser projector like module that can be interfaced with microcontroller? Please help
iforce2d yes I searched a lot but not getting as expected. I want to display google map direction points distance etc on head up display for smart helmet project. Can u help me out for this? Thanks for replying
I could be wrong, but from what I'm looking at? that view finder your using looks veeeeeeeeery close to a NIGHT VISION view finder. What I'm saying is that it is possible to damage the unit if used in the daylight since it is made for night view only. Along that line, there are different stages of NV: moon light, low light and pitch black. These are proper lighting stages for a night view finder. Which is what you seem to have there from banggood. If it is what you have, you could damage it by using it in full day light.
The viewfinders seem to be a great idea for FPV googles. Modern cameras have viewfinders with 1MP or higher resolutions, so maybe the replacement viewfinders are available to be used for googles.
Now I need someone to 3d print the goggle so we could mount the min monitors on it. . This will kill fatshark period.
You should make a cover flap to close of the vision of the other eye when you're flying. Really cool project.
Lol, you had my like at "cheap arse project"
Yeah, this must be an older video as we can get it already in goggles with two viewfinders built in for $100-$250. But this is a great video and I'm sure spawned creativity in many
Post a link on where I can get some.
Mate, are you a Kiwi or an Aussie?
Neither (-;
Cool project, i want do with pvs31 dummy. Do u have someone model?
hi can you provide the link aging? can't seem to find it. thanks
enseñame! como hacerlo quiero volar! y la fuerza aerea me ah cortado las alas, asi que estoy decidido agarrar un avion de maqueta que tengo y hacerlo un dron que consejos me das!.
Is it possible to create this project now in 2024?

+iforce2d Yessss.. I have the same concern.. And well.. it still IS €82.. That and the pretty low resolution.. Hmmm
would this be viable for a closed off helmet display for cosplaying?it's quite small and compact which is why I'm kinda curious
I think it would be extremely disorienting. Much easier to just make part of the helmet with dark sunglasses type plastic.
Interesting concept! The idea seems quite uncomfortable to me however, I don't like being limited to one eye at all. The Skyzone googles have a feature to switch to a built-in camera with a button too, not sure if you're aware.

Edit: I do realize building stuff by yourself makes for an interesting video!
I've got one of those 5.8ghz watches and going to see if I can some monocular goggles out of that.
@Gregory Dahl yes

''you never go full borg man''
"with these upgrades you never stood a chance"
would adding second micro display and another camera on quad solved the problems with eye strain? something similar to any 3D FPV googles...
I got 2 vr d2's and I cut one of them in half just so its more of a screen that I can give to someone who might be intrigued. Anyways I was wondering if there is some kind of demagnifying lens I could use so I could make them wearable.

@iforce2d you need to put a red glowing led inside the video lense so people can tell you are a cyborg
i wonder if someone made a monocular display using the old monochrome micro CRT viewfinder found in video8 cameras
People did that with the ones that have integrated s-video input.
nice video camera use in drone >please tell which video camera that you shown in video
great video chris, this is still on my list of thing to venture into, the Fatsharks just don't fit me, and don't like the price either. Only problem seems to be getting decent oled micro monitors
Just wondering what FPV set up you have on your quad? the picture looks very clear and sharp
i've been wanting to make a one-eyed fpv, military style
since i won't be racing, rather i'll be flying long range, i need to keep line of sight so as not to lose rc connection
maybe you could have hacked the viewfinder out of some really old camcorders? That would probably be cheaper, the question is wheather the quality is sufficient :)
+muh1h1 I wonder what this module came from, probably something like that I guess
Resistance is futile ... but it may help if you blink more often.
Is there a way for me to connect HDMI cable to the display?
Xin chào bộ này bro có bán lại không ạ.
That area, where you fly, is quite peaceful & beautiful.
You seem to move around a lot and know a lot of languages. Howd that happen?
What object did you use for the base goggles
this set up would be pretty cool for the night vision goggles
use two? dont think it would be good for you favoring one eye?
Many thx, this is science at work ;-)
I have a project that would be much less complex if it were possiable to direct wire the camera to the goggles. It this is possiable can you post a link in the reply. Thank you
so you mean flying a fucking camera attached to your goggles? I maybe misunderstood what you said but if you mean that, it's fucking stupid
Iforce2D:
Great video...was it from DVR connected to your eyepiece?
Your commentary during the video was exceptional!
Have you toyed with 3D video yet?
Jim
yes, I used a DVR on the ground to record it. I have not tried any 3d stuff, I think it's a lot harder to get a decent result than it might seem.
why is this even on here? 320 res...? JUST DIG DEEP and buy some..
+nitro 20 huh? you know what DIY stands for right?

it's a great project but a bit pricy
Did you use that same sky goggle on the quanums? I have the v1 and the v2 with motorcycle goggles and is super comfy and no light problems at all.
