Vuzix Wrap 920 Goggle review for FPV

by StoneBlueAirlines | December 12, 2012 | (6) Posted in Reviews

I have had a few people asking me what I am using to view the aerial footage when I am flying FPV. I have a 7 inch LCD for friends to watch from but I have been using a pair of Vuzix Wrap 920 goggles that I picked up from Amazon just a few months back.

I was looking around for an alternative to the fatsharks only because I heard mixed reviews on them and thought let me see what other options I could find out there.

I took a little gamble on these but as I was getting them from Amazon if they turned out to not work well back they would go. What I found was a very nice fitting pair of goggles perfect for FPV use. Color and clarity is great and I would say is every bit as good if not better than most goggles out there right now. They fit my face really well and hook up super easy to my sachel mounted fpv system. Hope this helps you if you have not found the perfect fit yet for your fpv viewing experience.

Here are the links to what you want on Amazon.

DIY goggles are just pretty much any goggle you can find and then modded into a pair of ski goggles. I am sure what I am using could be done like that I just have not done it yet. The Vuxiz does have a head tracking option but as they are not set up for fpv use I am going to try and work with them to see if this can be worked into the system as well. A pan cam is great and less hassle to work with. I know clarity is great on these and that is what is most important when flying fpv. Get a set from amazon and see what you think.
