Video Goggles

Video Goggles are a very important link in the chain. Its what you see right before your eyes and how the experience is felt.

They come in all manor of types and prices. Its on bit of equipment you would be best investing a good deal of money in to.

The goggles consist of two screens, one for each eye. They sometime come with speaker output and earphones too. Some have receivers built into them as well.

The goggles reproduce the picture on the screens is different resolutions depending on model, most have the ability to change contrast, saturation to get the best possible picture available.

Here are two examples :

VR1400 VR headset 640×480

These are entry level range goggles with a resolution of 640 TVL x 480 TVL, which sounds pretty small, but bearing in mind they are that close to your eyes that they immerse you in the picture. They are very good for the price. I myself use them.
At around £ 180 – 190 you can see that even entry level goggles come at a price, so it pays to invest in a good set.

Another example :

Fat Shark RCV922 46º FOV Goggles

This type of goggle comes with a rf link to receive pictures straight from the Vtx on board of the plane. The price for this is around £270. Again 640 x 480 resolution but an impressive 46 degrees of field of view

Which ever goggles you choose is personal choice, what you looking for is a lightweight, comfortable, high resolution goggle. What you also want is to cut out any light from around you out. Some come with sunshades that do a reasonable job, others not so good.

What is a common trend is to mount the goggle inside ski masks. This cuts out all the light, holds the goggles better on your head, but also makes you look a prat
