AndyRC. Man my friend had the 1st Aomway goggles and i love them!!!! Hope by next summer i can get a pair!!!! Like always great review!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
what strength lenses do you use in your goggles andy? thanks for the great video again
A tip : you can watch movies on flixzone. I've been using them for watching all kinds of movies recently.
@Maximiliano Aarav yea, been using flixzone for since december myself :D
I received my Commanders missing a button (DVR button) and was about to just let it go. I decided at the price I paid to try and contact them. Great experience, nice guy I worked with, I paid $3 US to ship a full set of buttons so actually have spares. This wasn't a huge problem that I needed help with from them but was impressed with the speed I received a reply.
Andy! Hi😁. You do some of the best in depth and objective reviews out there. Thank you.
Been using the commander V1 for about six months now .and have never had a problem .so has never had to contact customer services...but Love my Commander V2s even though they were a bit pricey .Good upgrade from V1s .. Great review ..thanks AndyRC.
Hey Andy, man. 'Just wanted to say it doesn't always tangent myself, but I'm so thankful for all that you do.
I wish you all the best man!
Yup going from V1 to the V2 was a nice upgrade for me...great goggles!!
Thanks for doing what you do, Andy. Your videos are very helpful.
First time I've ever felt the need to comment on a TH-cam video!! I've watched numerous reviews of these goggles, and I have to say yours is by far the best and most informative, it's as close as you get to using them, love how u go through all the features and explain everything with such clarity! I was worried that the FOV would b too large, noone else mentioned the zoom modes! Thank you, I will be subscribing 👌
ah thank you glad you enjoy them
The original v1 of these were brilliant for the money, so good!
Great review Andy. Totally agree on the pricing vs customer service. I'll stick with the v1 for now.
Sean@aomway was very helpful. Responds with 24 hours and managed to be very helpful at fixing my headset. Really recommended (UK).
Hey Andrew Iv read this before. What issues did you have with the goggle and where did you send them to? thanks
Great review Andy as always! Wish I could afford one of these! 👍
Best in depth review for this product going i reckon.
Great review - you do goggles better than anyone! I'm using the V1 now, and ready to jump to the V2. I've been using a 3-turn helical from IBCrazy in lieu of the Menace Invader - and it is superior to the Invader in terms of axial ratio and beam width - as well as eliminating crosstalk.
Nice product for sure. I can only dream about having a decent pair of goggles, stuck forever in "box" land, lol. Thanks Andy, very thorough and I do agree, perhaps a bit too $$$. Jeff
whats up bro, thanks for all of your hard work!
Great video! Good comparison! Totally agree the price is a little steep.
I have Dom v1s and unfortunately I broke my SMA connector away from the RX module by dropping them so I emailed Aomway direct & got a fast response I was very happy with the experience all round I ordered a replacement at a cost of only about £12 so I also brought a couple of spares lol
I also broke my clips on my goggle casing that hold the face plate on this cost only £8 for the entire casing including replacement buttons I ordered all the bits together + £30 shipping all was received in about 3 weeks I was very satisfied with the service.
P.S. nice 1 for the review Andy
I agree ... a bit pricey, but then, you don't have to buy diversity modules separately as with the FS. Will be interesting to see if anyone posts about Aomway service. Thanks for the look. Cheers.
I do agree it looks a little cheap , but compared to the features it aint bad ... I have the V1's and have no issues at all besides stock antennas and a little light leak due to my skinny face , but all in all solid goggle . Good reviews as usual Andy 😊👍
On the diversity RF mode race probably means it's which is very fast between the two and long-range means it's which is slow that way when you're on your patch it doesn't come off of it quickly it will stay in locked on I think
The problem isn't the price, it's the people who buy them.
Another big con for me is you can't add a aftermarket module.
Yet another great review Andy !
I've had my V1's for about 1 year with no real issues. Luckily, I haven't needed customer service, but I feel Aomway is making a quality product (other than the cheap, self destructing faceplate foam). That being said, I plan to sell my V1's to buy the V2's for 2 reasons, both personal preference. I need a wider IPD and I think I will like a larger FOV. I was nervous when I bought my first pair from Aomway as they were un-tested, however, after owning a pair, I'll give them my business again. Just my 2 cents. Excellent review Andy.
Hi Andy, would u prefer these or the HD3 In relation to picture quality and clearness in the screens ?
nice one Andy, always informative, and i love the Cheers at the end of your vids :D
Thanks for Making it to the end Rob :) hope we get to do some lift off again soon!
AndyRC I'm sure we will squeeze in another midnight session hahaha
Nice review Andy! Personal opinion, but buying goggles is probably the hardest part of starting out in the fpv hobby, nothing is quite so very individual as "what looks good" and so its really hard to get a feel for what your going to like and what would work for you. Having said that, as with all your reviews, they always seem well thought out an well specified (eg, your comparisons and proviso's about support). One thing I wish every goggle maker/seller had was a returns program because (much like clothing) theres just too many biological factors that affect the suitability of a goggle
I have both these and the v1’s. I think I like the v1’s better. It seems as though I don’t have the “zoom” options on the format choices. If I could get the 16:9 zoom option, I think that might make me like them as much as the v1’s. Is this a firmware or region thing?
Hi Andy, thanks!
About the DVR resolution: it actually makes sense. NTSC video is (roughly) 720x480 pixels, and PAL comes in at 720x576. Indeed, the (digital) pixels aren't square...!
This DVR format is great, as it represents the actual full 'D1' signal resolution. It's also why we want at least 800x600 resolution in our goggles - to see things in *full SD glory*.
About those racing / long range diversity modes: my wild guess would be that it adjusts the speed or sensitivity of the diversity switching algorithm (i.e. stay on one antenna longer before switching, while in long distance mode). But I am sure that Aomway will be able to enlighten us ;)
Cheers
NTSC d1 is 704:480. 720X480 definitely looks stretched and incorrect in my opinion compared to 640 : 480 and ill be changing it in the editor every time for me. very close to a 16:9 res
Thank you for the info, I wanted to buy aomway before :)
The tabs on the main shell of my Commander V1 set that hold the faceplate on broke off. It took a couple days for them to reply to my email, but they are sending me a new shell for just the cost of postage. I've had the goggles about 6 months. Not too bad at all. For reference I live in Southern California. Not sure how it will work in other parts of the world.
You did a great job going over ever part of these goggles!!! Im glad they came out with a new pair!!! So now the price of the V1s shoukd go down and maybe i can buy a pair!!!! GREAT REVIEW!!!
In your opinion what is the best pair of f.p.v. goggles??
I've really enjoyed my V1's that I got when they first came out last year. I'm starting to get unreadable files on my DVR footage though.
The worst thing about the googles is the proprietary band and channel thing though. Having to figure out what I'm on compared to everyone else that's flying is a pain in ass.
Great review Andy. The divrfmode just controls switching speed. Long range mode is slower. In every instance I found FPV race to be better.
Additionally, the commander v1's switching speed is in between the v2's 2 different modes.
I had a problem with my first V!s and contacted Banggood, I just wanted the faulty component sent to me but they requested I send the whole goggle back to them and they would replace them with new ones, which they did and in due course received the new ones, I thought it was very good service, however it did cost me $50.00 for postage. I feel the new ones are way too expensive, however the wider FOV would be great.
Andy how to get the head track version ? They look real good
Excellent review as always, Andy. I have the V1s, so this is about the first time I was able to sort of "fact check" what you're saying - and you just seem so honest. That's becoming increasingly more important, because you're getting so much of this stuff for free - and people are easily bought. That doesn't seem to be the case with you! I think you're one of the best reviewers out there. Cheers!
Thanks a lot. I actually dont get everything for free. But people cant seem to tell when i buy them myself or when they were sent for free so thats when I know im doing a good job haha. thanks for the feedback
Oh! Hehe, keep that to yourself, then!=) (I also meant that you, as in youtube reviewers, are getting stuff for free) NP, man.
I had some contact with aomway for a new mainboard for my goggles because mine failed and they actually send me the board with international shipping. + they were very helpful with software updates. I can vouch for them.
thats actually really good. saved you sending them to china! good info what address did you use?
AndyRC sean@aomway.com from overseas sales
great info thanks
IVE been looking into the AOMWAY Commander V2 BUT $584.75 Canadian seems a bit too rich for me, but receivers included is a definite bonus, lack of battery is a definite negative. AH decisions decisions lol . Be well Andy keep up the great vids
What an awesome review! Andy, you Truely are a Master at reviews. Almost as good as your music. Almost! Cheers my friend! God dam wish you lived in the States. Lol.
Michael
Ah thanks a lot Michael. Cheers
Truly*
OCD made me do it ;)
Gearbest has them on "Flash Sale" for $399 USD right now. I've been flying the Y1's for a year now and love them. My only complaint is the foam face plate. My greasy schnoz causes it to break down very quickly and I've needed to replace it numerous times. I bought another after market type but too much light leakage. That's my only complaint with Aomway!
What happened to the multi-versity? Were you told not to mention anything about the 2 diversity receivers being changed?
Another good and detailed review
I love the technology built into this, the menu is is pretty damned good but some of the other buttons seems a bit fiddly and they seem to work quite well.
But at that price and with no battery supplied....... ? Ouch!
I'm so glad that (finally) my only goggle solution is one that involves one of the cheaper box types. :D
_I'll shortly be buying a 2nd pair just in case they go out of production_
yeah i think if other options werent available these would be the best on the market right now.
That is a truly legendary response :D
I had a decent customer service experience with Aomway. My V1's diversity wasn't working to begin with. I sent them back to my local supplier in Australia who then sent them back to China for Aomway to assess. I figured that I wouldn't see them for months and I half expected Aomway to not honour the warranty, but they fixed them and it only took about 4 weeks all up. Not as great as having local repair, but better than expected.
Is these better then the hd3 you use?
Did they improve the optics between the original release and the updated version? I have the original and I really like it, but it's really hard to get the optics right and there always seems to be a little more blur on the right than on the left.
I have free same question. The optics are not really great on the v1, the edges are perpetually blurry and the corners (where you put things like battery voltage etc) are often unreadable.
Any improvement in the v2?
I get no blurr on these v2s but I imagine some will its different for everyone
AndyRC Great to hear. I just may test out Aomway's customer support to see if they'll update mine.
Hi Andy would be very interesting to see what you think of the Skyzone 03 if you get them...tough to choose between the aomway v2, ev200d and the skyzones...
Iv been trying to get them but since my review of their first version they have not responded to me :( I will keep trying
he did back in Jan 20 2018
I emailed Aomway with an inquiry and they responded immediately. I had a DVR issue and used the same email but never heard from them. Fatshark on the other hand has a service center located in California and responded to every inquiry I had....
Fat Shark does not even cover the postage when it is an issue covered by warranty or a DOA like my HDO. And guess what? I have to send them to their UK service center from Germany every single time. The only good thing about FS is that you will get your goggles fixed. They are pretty slow and you have to spend a lot of money on postage. Ridiculous for a 500€+ product which does not even come with a receiver
licensetodrive everybody knows that. does that make it a good deal? hell no dumbass. My HDO came DOA, the screens did not work at all.... had to pay shipping and wait for 4 weeks.
You do know that the cheapest receiver with AchilleS is actually on par with some of the premium receivers? I don't complain about the lack of receiver, I just mentioned it. Do I like the price? no. I still bought them and two earlier models hence I have a lot of "experience" with FatShark customer service. It is okay to charge postage if there are any problems with the googles within the years but if a brand new HDO, wich is on the market for a few weeks arrives DOA they shouldn't charge you for postage. Like with all the people that got the HDO withe the new shell and the new light leak "feature". they either send it in or do the repair on their own. The service is ok but not premium at all.
"such a mature reaction you've displayed there, downvoting a bunch of my recent videos, instead of constructing a reasoned reply to me, or even just a good old flame would've been a better response." Dafuq you talking about. I never downvoted or watched any of your videos. why the heck should I even do that... Mature reaction I see
licensetodrive 1st prize for most ridiculous statement ever goes to licensetodrive. His statement is perfectly valid - it raises the purchase price so should absolutely be factored in when they can’t be used without them. Also whats wrong with buying something and being unhappy with the price?
Why would you warranty brand new DOA goggles? Even cheesy eBay sites have return policy's where you can exchange or return within a certain time period (usually a month). It doesn't make sense, unless you bought them off the back of a truck - or off a site based in China... which wouldn't make sense either.
Hey Andy would you ever sell any of your goggles after my gear got stolen I’ve been missing my dom v2 and now using eachine 006s and it’s killing me :(
my receiver broke on my aomways and i contacted them by email. got a response telling me they could ship me a replacement receiver if i pay for shipping and the part. I agreed and received the receiver within 2 weeks. So far my experience has been good
That's interesting - I was charged £50 for a replacement screen on my Dom V3's, but the support was still excellent and fast.
they said to me that i would only be charged if the fault was caused by myself?
Well mine were a set where one screen was DOA, was returned by someone else, and then I bought them as seen. So didn't mind hugely paying - still got some new Dom V3's for a total of £190
Just thought I'd jump in here. I just got my V2.1s (newest revision I guess) and I was a bit worried the FOV would be too big. I was coming from EV100s so I'm used to looking at a postage stamp which is still way better than the god awful box goggles. Anyway, I'm happy to report that after 10-15 flights I'm really liking the V2s. The FOV is not at all too big, it's perfect in fact. The only issue is that I can only seem to get about 85% of the screen sharp (blurry edges) at the corners. I'm pretty sure this has to do with the large FOV or maybe my 43 year old eyes are going to shite. If I squint or move the goggles slightly I can get a sharp picture at the edge but then other parts of the screen get bury. Ether way it's not a problem as you focus on the center of the screens 99% of the time.
Hi Dave. So how are you with your v2s? All good? I am planing to buy ones. I saw JB Look INSIDE... review and v2s looks horrible. What is you experience?
I had problem with Commander V1. I contacted their support but have not heard back. This was recent, about 1 month ago.
did you try contact Sean for overseas?
No, I'll give that a try. thanks!
Cheers for the vid.
Q: Should I buy a 2nd hand set of these @ $350 NZD - or new Eachine 200D @ $410 NZD?
TIA.
Did you buy them? I saw them on TM (they were V1 not V2). I'd choose 200D IMO.
I like my aomway commander v2's ,,,,,but need a 2nd carrier case,took them over a week to answer my email, with no real answer to if one is available,,,,,,?
I love my V1's, they do everything I need for freestyle flying, massive upgrade from box goggs, one thing I hate is the IDP at full travel, wide as they go only just makes mine usable, I wish I could widen them so I don't have to adjust goggs so they let me see entire view, if I squint while flying I will lose half my view in one eye, my eyes really aren't that far apart, so many ppl must not be able to use them if eyes further apart than mine. Just a tad more adjustment is all they need. Good review thx. Sticking to these for now, V2 look way too much $$ and I hope I never need CA because they sound shocking.
Brigzy FPV It’s weird, because the v2’s have more IPD adjustment, but they seem much more difficult to tune to your eyes. I’m all the way out at the end of both adjustments on the v1’s...but in totally different positions in the v2’s. I figured that extra little bit of adjustment, I’d be one more click out and it would be perfect. Not really the case. The huge fov changes everything. I like both...but the v1’s just still seem to be a little bit better to me. I didn’t need diopters in the v1’s, but had to use them with v2.
Wow! Great price increase ;-) Maybe they'll offer a coupon ;-) Thanks for the review on these, and yes, I think all these goggles are way over priced. Seriously, you can buy a laptop computer for what they charge for some of these goggles. Cheers!
Andy with the native field of view 16:9 bit you talk about, if the HDO's dont do it right is there going to be a fix they could put in place without us having to buy new goggles do you think? Just a thought 🤔 (You speak about it at 5 mins 40 secs ish) would they be able to fix this in a firmware update you think?
I dont think they considered it as a feature so id be suprised if it gets added. cheers
AndyRC alright thanks a lot! Hey keep up the freestyle btw it's great to watch!! 😉👍
Thanks Leo
The DVR is broken on my Aomway Commanders, I can't even get a response from Aomway, just crickets, there is no customer service as far as I can tell. I wanted to buy a replacement part and fix them myself, I can't even do that.
others are advising to email Sean at Aomway have you tried that rout? thanks for the info. Much appreciated.
sean@aomway.com
MUNKY FPV , The DVR on my V1's died and it turned out my SD card was just full. Once I emptied it everything was fine.
Now, months later I'm having issues with corrupted files on the SD cards and the footage it totally lost. It's starting to happen at least once every time I go out.
D Rock Try the sean@aomway.com address, I finally got a reply yesterday using that contact and they are asking me for the version number printed on the circuit board, so I'm hoping I might get it fixed.
Thanks for the review pal but...................its got to be Fatshark for me
$440.00 Is too much, plus ify customer service too? I'll still use my Eachine Goggles Two.. Thanks for your work here Andy!
yep scooter, I still use my eachine goggles and I have not had a problem. 130.00 dollars vs 500.00 ill buy two pair of the 130.00 dollar goggles before I spend 500 on one pair.
Now at £250 ,these are the best value best made Google's you can buy,yes fatshark oled is good but these are right up there and you don't need to spend any extra money to make them work,ie fatshark could be £500+ ,I've had mine for 6 months and they are fantastic
Have you switched yet? lol
Bloody pricey. Eachine EV200D for me.
My nightmare of an experience with Aomway (and yes I went through Sean). To be fair I did buy the set used. Once I received them I found that the DVR button was broken in a way that would allow the playback screen, but would not record. I went ahead and modified it so that it would record but I lost my playback function. What use is playback without record? After awhile I contacted Sean and requested a new main button board at $32 USD shipped. Even better yet they sent the v2 board which by all reports (from them) should be compatible with the rest of the v1 electronics. Essentially I would have a v2 with v1 optics. It took awhile, but the day came when they would finally arrive. That is where the easy part ends.
After installing it the diversity did not want to work. I moved the cables and receivers around to eliminate those as the problem. Shortly after the DVR stopped functioning as well as the AV input. After explaining it to Sean, he requested that I send them to Aomway (another $23 USD) and they would troubleshoot for me. After 10 days tracking showed they arrived and Sean confirmed their arrival 4 days later. I then all was well for a week or two and when I inquired he would say he hadn't heard anything.
Then nothing. 2 weeks of absolutely nothing. Finally, after pestering him several time daily for the last 3 days writing if he is tired of my emails to just answer me, he did. He told me his tech team was on vacation and would be back the following Monday. So not so patiently waiting as my patience was worn thin by then I waited some more. Finally, just over another week passed and they blamed it on me with ribbon cables causing damage. They had then told me they fixed the problem and my goggles are working. However there was one more hurdle to overcome. After all this time waiting for them to actually fix my goggles I now have to pay another $10 for return shipping. Grrr... Sigh... OK... Paid.
Now these goggles was sent to them on May 30, 2018. They arrived June 9th. June 20th to July 3rd was the no response period. July 11th they said they fixed them. July 17th they told me the shipping fee. July 20th I paid said fee. They thanked me for the payment and told me they would give me the shipping info ASAP. Here we are Aug 3rd and no shipping info and no goggles...
Just an update. They gave me a tracking number that is not tracking even though they supposedly sent it over 4 days ago.
should i wait for the eachine ev200d's or just bite the bullet and get these??? IYO? i have an ipd of 70 so don't want to chance the HDO's. im pretty new and want to upgrade from my cheapo box goggles. im undecided, Aomway 1 or 2, HDO's or wait for the ev200d's ahhhhh someone take my money...
these are better than the ev200. better dvr and bigger fov. but almost twice the price so it depends whats important to you
AndyRC thanks for replying. Are they twice as good though?? I don’t mind spending money if it’s worth it, but are they worth the money? That’s the question! Would be ok if u could go somewhere and try all the options. Here we just seem to spend our money on a bit of a gamble really.
two large glasses of wine later........awaiting delivery...😁😁
good for long range fpv ?
AdzInNetwork i've owned the v1s and they had exceptional video reception just avoid using their provided patch antenna
I need to buy a new pair of goggles. My EV800D are too heavy and bulky. Andy, do ever sell your used googles?
Hey felipe some I keep to compare with other products and others are my friends goggles and i borrow them for particular videos so I can always have them to hand. Cheers
I was in the same position and comparing the aomway commander v1 and v2, what convinced me was the commander v1 are on sale at bangood for 285usd at the moment. I couldn't justify the extra 200 bucks for the v2s
And if heard people say going from box goggles to the 32 degree for wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.
AndyRC thanks anyway, Andy!
Filipe D maybe for the heaviness issue you could try to use an external battery at the back... it'll make it more comfortable (then you remove the internal one).
Giantmdgt the Falcons are at 270 bucks...
Andy, where can you take the AOMWAY to get it serviced locally. You cant that's the problem and that's why the fatshark's dominate the market. Customer Service is king!
not quite true. the FS support once told me that there is only one support centre for Europe which is in the UK. The have one (or more?) in the US, one for AU/NZ the rest is China. As long as you live in China, US, UK and AUS everything will be fine, fast and cheap.
Yeah this new Commander version should have been a "Pro" version or something to justify the increase in price. As for Fatshark customer service, I sent my HD3s in for LCD replacement recently and they came back with dust and dirt all inside the optics, so quality control wasn't so great for me. It looks terrible. Also, email communication with service was painfully slow.
Currently $336 USD on Banggood
If they were 350 US dollars and there was some level of customer support for repairs I would buy them. Also I see they have the same crappy foam as the V1.
Been trying to get in touch with Aomway for 3 months. Emailed everyone I could and used their contact page and captcha keeps telling you that you've entered the wrong code over and over again. So I would have to say absolute crap
What is the issue you are having with the product? thanks for the feedback
Adrian Devlin me too , I'm in Australia and I can't get a response. My DVR is broken, the chipset that runs the DVR is toast because it can't read a card to update firmware, can't access DVR menu, nothing.
MUNKY did you email this Sean@aomway guy that all the other comments are talking about? thanks
Same as MUNKYs Andy. Dodgy DVR, Trying to find out how to get spares and yes emailed sean several times and have had no replies
AndyRC I'll give that address a try but I'm not holding my breath, I'm in Australia. I've had no DVR for six months.
Surprised nobody has put a small speaker into their goggles rather than use a hanging headpone.
for those who use headphones i believe its to isolate the sound of your copter when flying with others. But sure it would work when flying alone.
Ah, right, never flown with anyone else so hadn't considered that, assumed it just hung there to avoid being deafened when you crash. Thorough review there Andy, well done.
The same bullspit continued with pricing!!! Why cant we get a set of good goggles for less than the price of my first born.... lmao. Great review great goggle...... Shit pricing.... Cheers
just got mine for $290 a few days ago.... less than the V1.... :)
where from? thought they had been discontinued?
RDQ has them as a replacement for the v1... it works for me so far.
Aomway's doesnt fit on most faces. When i bought my v1's the diversity didnt work. and they said that after waiting 3 months that after 3months of using things can get broken. But it was broken from the start. Only when i pushed the left screen all the way to the left my diversity works.
To me and to all that have used my Aomway Commander V2 image looks like one is watching from the bottom of a pickles jar! So NO, they are no good.
