Best FPV Goggles for 2023

HDZero goggles is one of the best FPV goggles that come with built-in HDZero receiver. That means you can fly digital FPV with this goggles out of the box.

Compared to the DJI Goggles 2 and Fat Shark Dominator HD/Walksnail Avatar, HDZero goggles are versatile. You can easily hook in an analog VRX when you want to fly analog.

The Fat Shark HDO2 is probably the best analog goggles available in the market. Of course, there are better analog goggles in terms of specifications, but no one beats Fat Shark’s customer service, at least for now.

The HDO2 is versatile. It is compatible with either analog VRX such as the RapidFire, or digital VRX such as the HDZero VRX. That means you just need this goggles for both analog and digital FPV.

The downside is also obvious. It doesn’t come with any VRX. You will need to fork out extra money for a receiver.

SkyZone SKY04L is the best value FPV goggles at the $300 price point. It comes with a SteadyView receiver, a comparable receiver to RapidFire and TBS Fusion. This means you don’t have to fork out extra money to buy a VRX, unlike the Fat Shark Altitude.

It has a 1280×960 resolution on a LCOS screen with 46 FOV°. It is suitable for those with myopia and hyperopia thanks to its wide focal adjustment range.

If you are thinking of upgrading to digital FPV in the future, SkyZone SKY04L can fit a Shark Byte receiver.

I would argue that you need at least Eachine EV200D or equivalent to really enjoy FPV. No doubt, there are cheaper, workable goggles out there. But those often come with compromised quality and don’t really give you the minimum experience that you deserve from flying FPV drones.

The Eachine EV200D comes with all the desired features you that you need on an FPV goggle: 42 FOV, DVR for recording, 1280×720 resolution, built-in fan, adjustable aspect ratio, adjustable IPD, supports diopter lens, 2 receiver module bays, and 2 diversity receiver modules!

Recon HD is the first non-DJI FPV goggles with digital FPV capability without the need to buy an extra VRX!

Recon HD has a whooping resolution of 1920 x 1080. It has a diversity system, DVR and a fan inside to prevent fogging.

There are 2 downside of Recon HD. First, it is a box goggles, which doesn’t look as cool as compact goggles.

Second, since the VRX is integrated, and there is no external module bay, you can’t use this for analog drones.

Note that this only work for HDZero VTX.

HDZero is one of the top 3 digital FPV systems aside from the DJI and Fat Shark/Walksnail Avatar. I recommend going for HDZero because there are more options on the VTX and cameras.

Unless you are using HDZero goggles, you need this receiver if you want to use HDZero VTX.

HDZero receiver can be used on any FPV goggles with a mini HDMI port. You will an adapter if your goggles have a micro or full-sized HDMI port.

Depending on the goggles you use, you might need to use a 3D-printed bracket to hold the VRX. The included bracket would fit well to Fat Shark goggles.

Aside from the expected quality, the additional benefits from using TBS Fusion is the integration with its Unify VTX that allows interesting functionalities such as adjusting the power output of your VTX automatically in response to the change in RSSI (signal strength), automatically aligning the channels of your VRX and VTX. 

If you crash your drone and can’t find it, the TBS Fusion can act like a radar to help you locate your drone through the signal strength. It also has a lap timer feature which allows you to time your lap. No more manual timer or additional lap timer required!

RapidFIRE used to beat TBS Fusion in the space of VRX, until TBS Fusion V2 is out in the market.

Priced slightly higher than TBS Fusion, RapidFIRE is on par with its competitor. If you find RapidFIRE selling at a lower price than TBS Fusion, you might want to get it.

If you are not ready for the pricey TBS Fusion, consider Eachine Pro58. The Eachine Pro58 is a super affordable diversity receiver. 

Consider getting the Achilles mod to unlock more potentials such as lap timer, crashed drone searching, frequency optimization and many more from this budget receiver module.

You will need an ST-Link adaptor to flash the mod though.
