I have a few simple requirements when it comes to goggles, they should have a nice screen, a DVR, and ideally an AV input. The EV800D checks all the boxes, but in addition to that we can also add a comfortable strap, good looks and an integrated battery, which at least for me definitely makes their use simler!

Hi man! Great review as always! Have you ever used this goggle for Long Range flights before (with better antennas)?
Well... I have tried a few times, but can't get the results I get with my antenna tracker! Mostly use it for my racing copter during races now, otherwise I use my monitor!
Hi great video! I have a problem thou, when i connect my micro SD to my computer i cannot find the dvr videos, i can only playback them in the goggles
Are there any folders on the SD card?
For a complete newbie like me ev800 std are enough right? The main difference is that they can't share the screen? And not recording what you are seeing, is it right? Or something else?
Share the screen? Not sure I understand what you mean!
@@ArxangelRC what are the main differences between D and standard version?
Diversity mainly... and there were some other small improvements, if memory serves right!
Hi is the lipo lead for an external power source or just for charging, or both. ?? Thanks
Both! Charges the battery and powers the goggles!
I just bought these on the Amazon Prime. I can't wait! >:0
Cool! I hope you like them!
Can I use the EV800D with the Hubsan Zino H117S? My old H501S works with my cheap JJPRO 5.8GHz goggles no problem.
If its analogue video, yes you can!
When I was watching the 3 screens I thought that were interferences and no, it's water. Same more than necessary to make everything work fine ....
Good review mate :)
Thanks! :)
Not sure if this even matters, but the EV800D's recorded dynamic range isn't as good. I wonder why that happens.
Well... the DVRs are generally crap and record a worse video than what you see in the goggles! Why... because its cheap that way... I would guess!
Thanks for the review! Very interesting! If I buy them, I'll use the link from here.
Thank you for support! :) Much appreciated.
And I did! That was a incredible nice price! Now comes the long posting wait from China... But its poring down so who cares! Keep the great work up, my friend!
Will do! :)
I bought a pair of EV800D (they are on their way) and watching this video only makes me happier, can't wait.
Nice! Did they arrive? All good?
@@ArxangelRC They did. They are really good, as expected (tho they are my first ones so nothing else to compare them with). Image is clear, reception is good, and I bought the 3d printed spacer that some people recommended. No regrets.
Im in the same boat !!!!
reccord quality is very bad for me compare to other video stuff embedded to bad. and running time this inside battery is low to bad because live feed is quite nice...
This is pretty old and can hardly be compared to the HD systems of today.
ev800d is a good one with a pretty sensitive receptor.. until it stop working... i cross fringer..
Mine are still working! Only issue I have is that I am using them VERY RARELY now... so the battery is constantly dead! :D
Really cool to know the latency was better with these than... at least what you were putting them up against. This seems important to me and hadn't see anyone else talk about this.
I just got these and modded them a bit. I am slightly farsighted apparently (can't focus on anything closer than 13" from my eyes), so the stock setup was not working for me. I added some +2 dollar store lenses. I'm not sure if this will work long term or if I will have to get the extensions they sell on ebay, but it looks great now. I get motion sick easy so more lenses could mess with me.. we will see. They also were not comfortable for my face unlike you. I added a layer of foam between the stock fabric and the goggle which did the trick for me. Lastly, Less weight seemed like a good idea so I took the battery out and extended the wire so I can mount it on the rear of the strap. Thanks for the review.
PS. Does anyone know of a tiny screen (like 1 inch or less) I could find to hook up to a small camera directly? I'd love to put it in the corner peripheral somewhere and have the cam out the front of the goggles. Freaks me out a little that someone could walk up and I wouldn't notice. I assume people somewhere have done similar mods.
Haha, yeah, some goggles actually have that built in! Not sure where you can find a 1" screen... perhaps try Aliexpress...
@@ArxangelRC Yeah good call. I am on there a lot actually.. just not sure what to get. I sort of figured that is what those newer goggles with a cam were about, when I noticed them after I had thought of this "original" idea lolz. Do they do like a PIP thing, or do you have to switch entirely to one cam or the other?.. I guess I can look that up myself. I have to find a way for this mod though, I was a martial artist for too many years to not feel awkward that someone could be right in front of me and me not know about it haha. If anyone knows of a thread where someone did a similar mod please link it... or any info. Thanks man.
No idea if this has been done, sorry! Yeah... off the shelf solutions are pretty expensive though!
Hi - do you know if this goggles can be connected to caddx Nebula Pro?
Probably not! As far as I understand it, that one is an HD system for the DJI goggles... so it won't work here.
Hi
The dvr can record video and audio ?
Or only video as the vr d2?
Hmmmmmm, can't say that I can recall... but if memory serves... I think it records only the video, although I've never really had an audio channel connected and running from the plane, unless the Vtx had a built in mic. But in either case, I don't recall!
I like the fact that this can mount on a transmitter without extra cables. Looks like the perfect budget goggle - can it record the AV in? :)
Actually I haven't tried that out, but when on the AV screen, when I press the record button I do get an indication of recording starting... so possibly it could... will have to test that out.
Nice review and impressive goggles. What's the image like with respect to longer distance flights with your plane?
Honestly, I have no idea, when I think of goggles I don't really put them in the same place as long range flights! I have an antenna tracker for that. Soon I will put a Vtx on it to relay the signal wirelessly, so I should be able to use them, but it will still be via the antenna tracker. In any case it will all depend on the antenna you have on them. With a good antenna and generally turning your head in the right direction you should be able to get out to a few kms.
How long it takes to charge the batteries ! I love your reviews !
Not sure anymore... but I'd keep it connected most of the time anyway!
Hello i hope you remember me I'm getting the hubsan h301s next week do you think the fpv will work with the ev800d?
Damn... where did you find one available? The Hubsan outputs an analogue video feed, so you can receive it with any analogue video receiver, including those goggles!
@@ArxangelRC thank you very much
You are welcome!
You can adjust brightness contrast and all on both goggles i havn't had a very good experince just because i don't have that much range i really don't know what im doing wrong at 800mw behind some bushes at 40m i already have breakup i have the rush tank II whit lumineer AXII and the foxeer lolipop 3 RHCP and the gep Rc triple feed patch antena RHCP and LHCP but keep it on RHCP for obvious reasons
Is it pointed at said bushes at 40m away?
it is like watching a small tv from 3 inch distance ?
Hahahaha... yeah... but the lens helps! Otherwise not really feasible!
great review!! i recognize that you use some monopole antenna on these 5.8ghz goggle. what are thise antennas? are they any better than cloverleaf?
I use them because I have a linear antenna on my copter. Linear antennas are better for racing quads because they don't break as easily.
Have you tested these googles with reading glasses?
No, I do not wear glasses!
Good review! I have them EV800D and I like them, but where did you find the option to switch the receiver from A to B?
SRC button, if I remember correctly how it was called, should take care of that.
good review, loving the mini copper too
Thank you! :)
Can i wear my glasses with it please?
I can't be certain... I don't wear glasses! Could be possible...
Can we use this on FUS X111 drone?
You can use it with any analogue video system as long as any channel matches up!
Very detailed review on these goggles. Thanks. I’ve ordered mine
You are welcome! ;)
If they had 720p or better yet 1080p I would snap them up . The resolution is just too low ....... I also want to create a Living room set up with a roof top Antenna Array so I can watch on my 50" TV as I fly around the neighborhood . Throw the quad or plane out the back door and experience your flight in first class comfort ! Any geniuses out there ?
Hahaha, that is certainly an interesting idea, but if you want to connect to your TV, then you wouldn't need the goggles! Would be awesome if you can make that happen though! :)
yes , there are some options, but money wise i think this one is the most affordable, check this out fpv.blue/
will they work with dji caddx
These are not HD goggles.
Which cameras are compatible with EV800D? I want to buy this system but I do not know which camera should I buy. Does AIO 5.8G 40CH 25MW VTX 800TVL 1/3 Cmos FPV Camera work?
Yes, that one should work great! The goggles are compatible with pretty much every AIO camera out there currently, that operates on 5.8Ghz!
One thing related to this question for anyone looking. These goggles are native 16:9 if I am correct. So getting a 16 9 camera will give better results than a 4:3 because it will either stretch the 4:3 to be an incorrect image, or just use less pixels... as I understand it. Haven't tested any of that yet. (anyone correct me if wrong)
Have you tried charging them with a 3S LiPo? I'm trying to charge them with 2S (because they say it should work) but it doesn't.
Actually I only charge them from 3S batteries, didn't even cross my mind to try a lower voltage pack.
In the specifications it says that it works and I don't have a 3S, didn't want to buy one just for that since 2S is supposed to work "somehow". Do you think it's just able to power it? Can't imagine how it would charge it.
It is possible that a 2S would be able to keep the goggles working but without charging the integrated battery. You should have gotten an AC charger along with these, so you can charge them at home hopefully, before going to the field! I am surprised to see a person without a single 3S 2200mAh battery, as these seem to be more popular than anything else in the hobby... I myself have a dozen of those without having bought any... they just ship with a lot of stuff! :D
Haha :D Yea I immediately started with 4S for my copter and my GPS drone only takes 2S. I do have the AC charger but for longer sessions once charge isn't enough.
Well I contacted Eachine about it. There has to be a reason they list 2S batteries. Maybe in the long run I'll get a 3S ;)
I found pretty damn good price on this site.

Nice job! Thanx, Bye
Thank you! :)
Can I use these goggles with an Eachine Wizard X220 and have proper ability to record and fly with FPV?
As long as you have a Vtx on the Wizard, yes, you will be able to use them! :)
Have you tried to connect your EV800D to HDMI2DV converter (PC to EV800D), I tried but it doesn't work
Actually I have not, don't even have such a converter... not sure if it will work... but I don't see a reason why it wouldn't! The only reason I can think of, of it not working, is if the cable you use to plug into the goggles is wired differently from what the goggles expect - for instance the goggles need a 2 segment jack, and you are using a 3 or 4 segment one, and vise versa.
Thanks for the review!
You are welcome! :)
How can you see the drone battery voltage while flying
Either the flight controller or the camera must have an OSD capable of showing you that on the video feed!
Thank you great video I'm going to get them for my son
Awesome! Glad it was useful!
what size is a standard fpv flight (3-4min)? how big should your sd card be?
This can work well with 16GB and 32GB cards, you can store quite a lot of 3-4 min flights on each!
@@ArxangelRC thank you.
@@zoltankovacs6785 You are welcome!
That delay reminds me of lagging out hard playing Battlefield or GTA on my Potato.
Hahahaha
@@ArxangelRC Dont you worry , i still got em .
I have very fond memories of Battlefield 1942... if that was the correct year...
@@ArxangelRC well actually my fondest memories are of BF4 but nevertheless i started out playing BF 1942 at about age 10 and then the desert storm mod at a friends place. Ive got some great memories in my uploads of playing with absolute legends . Thanks for the comment
@@ArxangelRC also im waiting on my pair of these goggles so thanks so much for the reveiw. Ill be watching it again when they turn up.
How to you change setting from NTSC to PAL or does it automatically do this?
Hmmmm... can't say for certain right now as I don't have the goggles in front of me... but if its no an option in the menu, then it should be automatic, though I think there was an option for that in the menu.
Eachine EV800D DVR problem
When inserting micro SD card in goggles (not drone), a vision signal is losing after 10sec. In fact, power is automatically shut down. Then I need to press a power button to turn on. Without using a microSD card, the vision signal seems to be stable.
My friend bought the same, and had same issue. He asked Eachine to send new one due to initial failure.
In conclusion, please tell me how to fix a problem if anyone had same issue. I use beta flight, Beta65X HD, Frsky. Otherwise I may need to ask Eachine company to send me new one!!
That is the first time I am hearing of an issue like this! Mine certainly doesn't have it! Perhaps a defective batch?!?! Which would be a bummer indeed... :(
@@ArxangelRC Actually size of micro SD card could be matter according to other threads, so I will try 16GB instead of 64GB card.
Well I can tell you for sure it will not work with a 64GB card! Different file system!
@@ArxangelRC yes, 16GB worked, thanks!
Awesome!
gamers notice that delay easily.
Probably... :)
Thanks for your review
Im gona order an ev800d soon
You are welcome! I am still using mine, and really like them!
My Tactic FPV-RM1 Monitor has NO DELAY...
Weeeeell... nobody really flying a racing copter on a monitor... the goggles are working fine though! :)
will this work with a DJI Phantom 3 Standard?
Nope, this is analogue, the Standard is still digital, even if over WiFi.
Can you where glases in them?
As I don't wear glasses I can't be sure. :(
@@ArxangelRC Well, still thanks for your'e time.
@@joepwinkelman2795 No problem mate. :)
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
:)
i bought the V800d ( already had the V800 standard) butr if i put in the SD card , the ScreenBlacks out after 10 seconds , i have to reboot , it isnt possible to fly with SC Card , also Record Button dont work . I try 4 different Micro SD Cards, alwasy same problem . Too Bad
Hm... really bad problem! Mine seems to work fine so far, but I have dedicated 1 SD card only for the goggles! Have you tried formatting the SD card? File system should be FAT32, not exFAT. What size are the cards? I am using a 16GB one.
thanks for answer , i have a 64 GB , i will try re- format the card , maybe it helps.
Rai Alice Actually a 64GB card would be exFAT and that will not work with the goggles. You need a 32GB card at the most, that is formatted to FAT32 files system.
Thank youz very much for that info , this could be the reason why my google always shutdown after 10 sec. with 64 GB installed SD card !
i will order today a new 16 GB . Thanks you , your info helps me a lot :)
Rai Alice I really hope this is the problem and a new SD card should fix it. :)
Hi There, love your reviews and mapping platforms, really enjoy all your videos.
Which brings this question :) do you recommend these goggles ?
Thanks very much!!!
Hi, thanks! Yes, I am still using these goggles, and am quite happy with them! :)
ArxangelRC Excellent, thanks very much for the response. Big fan of your work and hope you keep them coming. :) 👍🏻
Thanks mate, will do! Working on fixing up my workshop at the moment, so this week and next will be slow... but after that I should be back to full throttle on these videos since I will have a much nicer space to work in! :)
Just got a set of EV800Ds yesterday. Now my VR-007 are backups and for curious onlookers.
I was itching to order the VR-D2s due to their higher res, than the 007s, and the DVR ability. They're shaped similar to the 007s and so I hoped they'd fit as well.
The EV800Ds definitely have a much finer fit and finish. They're only 50% more than D2s but their quality build is much more impressive. I wish they'd put the battery on the back of the head strap. Focus adjustment sliders would be welcome too but as long as I get enough sleep I can focus on their screen alright.
For me there's maybe a quarter inch gap on each side of my nose. I don't actually mind that as I can easily find my transmitter and also double check all four blades are turning when I enable Air Mode before throttling up.
Though the 007s fit my face better I think I made the right purchase - even if the D2s felt the same as the 007s. The 800Ds don't feel or look like "toy," goggles.
Liked. Already Subbed.
Indeed! I do love them! Still using them... considering a few other pairs have come and gone... these are still around!
Great review
Thanks! :)
Great review! Very thorough! Will they work with the Kingkong ET 115. just ordered?
They should, video systems today have 40+ channels to choose from, so it is actually hard to find something that is not compatible with everything out there!
ArxangelRC that's great news! Thanks for responding!
You are welcome! :)
why you only using one antenna. Whats the point of diversity if you dont use it. Just curious?
Because when I fly these small races close by... there really isn't a need for a second antenna... and I am lazy to put it on there! When I fly my planes and know I will go out far, I put two antennas on.
ArxangelRC Do you use 2 different antennas or 2 indentical ones? Also, could you please share the link?
When I fly with circular polarization on the copter or plane, I use the stock antennas that come with the goggles... and they work pretty good! When I have a model with a linear antenna, I use two linear antennas that I got from a crappy HD system I tested... but at least the antennas were good. Sadly can't link to it, as it never made it to production!
But what is the FOV?
Not sure exactly, but I think its higher than on the Fatsharks.
Claimed 82 degrees. I know it is as big as I would want it. Any bigger and I might start missing stuff since I can only focus on so much at a time. I also had to add reading lenses to these and had to play with the positioning so that each eye could see all of the screen independently.. so that means, a pretty big screen.
what would be a good upgrade in terms of antennas for this goggle?
I guess a pagoda for an omni antenna... and the directional... no idea really... would depend on what exactly you are using them for!
freestyle flying .. in open parks mostly.
Yeah, a Pagoda on the copter, and another one on the goggles, plus a directional patch antenna of matching polarization should do the trick.
Why not 2 antennas on ev800d
Because I was flying a copter near me, and really have found that one is enough is this situation! Besides, the particular antenna I have on the goggles came from a crap HD system, but the antenna itself turned out to be awesome! :)
I have ev800d with my tiny whoop
Thay are grate. you need to pick the right channel to get the best picture
Other than that thay are grate for beginners that want to get in to FPV and not spend loads. Grate as a backup for veterans FPV pilots
Yup, these are a good set! :)
These look identical to mine except instead of eachine, mine are from makefire. That's kinda strange
Not really. They are the same goggles, just branded for another retailer! :)
ArxangelRC
I see that makes sense
No they are not, the makerfire and other clones have fake diversity (just 2 antennnas), ev800D has real diversity (2 separate receivers)
also the clones have lcd issues.
OK... this is so weird... the Chinese ripping off each other! Hahahahaha! Was about time! But honestly... makes no sense to me that these would be clones... isn't it possible that there were a few defective units? For me it makes sense that all these are made in the same factory... but for different retailers. It is entirely possible they are not clones... they were just requested with a different feature set and cheaper components to save money compared to the Eachine ones!
what antenna upgrade did you use?
Just some longer antennas I got from some HD system set that turned out to be crap... but the antennas were pretty good!
@@ArxangelRC can you send me a link to the antennas? how much do increase the range?
@@arthurzhao6678 Like I said... they came off of some prototype 5.8g HD system, which never made it to production... so I have no idea what they are or where to link from! Also, I've not really made comparisons with the stock antennas that come with the goggles, but I'd say at least 1.3x increase in range could be expected, if not a bit more.
@@ArxangelRC thanks, what is the maximum range you got while testing it?
@@arthurzhao6678 Well again... that is something that will depend on your location, vtx power and vtx antenna! I can't recall anymore, but I've had video from a few kms away in a rural environment with only regular CP antennas both on Vtx and on the goggles.
Great video ! Do you think, I can wear these goggles with my glasses on ?
Jelle Kaptein nope, you can't...
oh, that's a pity, are there any goggles at all which can be weared together with glasses ? I've not a acceptable view without them. Recently I purchased the VR008 goggles from Eachine alltough they are cheap they are useless to me because of my glasses.
i guess Eachine VR011 should be able to do the trick, but its pre order ....
Thanks for the tip, It's meant for use with glasses !
Thanks, like Merin already told you, I doubt these will be usable with glasses! I hope the VR011s will do it for you! :)
Confirmed: viewing angle=bad. Mine is identical branded Shinehalo.
What are you comparing it with? I find the viewing angle rather pleasing, unlike some other goggles that I've tested and seen! :)
Read THIS BEFORE BUYING THE ev800d's
I wanted a nice pair of fpv goggles and after weeks of searching, I found these. At first glance, they seem amazing! (diversity, dvr, and a good price) everything I want. After receiving and charging up for the first time was immediately met with issues. The first being the charge indicator in the top right. At full charge, the little battery icon is full (3 bars) as is should be, maybe 5 mins after it drops to 2 bars, then about 10 mins after, 1 bar. I'm sure it would last a lot longer than it indicates, but since it doesn't you are left guessing how much charge you have.
The second big issue is the charging itself. There is a red LED that comes on when the charge is started. After about 10 seconds a green led comes on making a clicking noise and flashing very fast. I believe the green LED should only come on when the lipo Is finished charging, but since it doesn't I am left guessing when the charge is finished. Because of this issue, I under charged the battery. This caused the goggles to lose battery mid flight forcing me to take off the goggles and land LOS. Very scary! Glad I was close enough.
Those were the big issues… i could go on all day talking about poor Menu design, cheap construction, or weak straps, but you've probably heard that before and to me that's not as important.
DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THESE! I'd much rather pay another few hundred to get a pair of fatsharks then lose a $500 quad/plane because of cheap hardware.
Mmm put a video up on your channel showing us
Sounds like you have a fault
Have you phone where you got them from
I have a pare and have no real truble with them
Yeh the menu and stuff but thay are cheep what do you expect from 70 pound box goggles lol
The goggles work fine for me. I like 'em. The fast-flashing green LED may mean you have a defective battery. Mine doesn't flash like that, and my power doesn't run down nearly so quickly.
And really, if you have a $500 aircraft, then what are you doing with $99 beginner goggles? These are for newcomers with $80-$200 drones dipping a toe into the hobby to see if they like it.
The problem is this: there are no good box goggles on the market at any price, every model has some kind of problem or missing features. And I can't use fatsharks because they are too small for my IPD. I would fatshark price for good box goggles if they existed, if I can't buy fatsharks with 80 mm IPD. So frustrated!
Why on earth would a beginner pay $300-$500 for goggles when they aren't sure how much they will like this?
Your comment seems very "fanboy"'ish and/or a fake account to discredit a good alternative for people who have to spend their money on more important things.
