Quanum DIY FPV Goggle Set with Monitor (KIT)

by Trauma50 | June 25, 2014 | (0) Posted in Reviews

I just got my hands on this kit. It sold out in 48 hours at Hobby King. ( 500 units) It was an easy build, it came with readible instuction. The picture quality was great, just as good as my FS Preditors. I did the mod of attaching it to a ball cap. (Hot glue works great) The buckled strap that came with it would be a distraction for long flights, with the buckle digging into the back of my head. I used some hot glue where the wire's exited the monitor for stress releaf, it comes with 3 diffrent fresnal len's.  I tried them all, to find the one what works for me.{ Build note: dont glue fresal len in with CA, just use tape} The lens slides backward and forward with the little tabs on the side to ajust your view to your liking. I'm thinking about putting a video recever and a battery with a splitter to power both, on top of the goggles. A compleat system, you won't be tied to a base station.

At $29.99 you can see why it sould out so quickly. The spec's below will give you the details, so I won't repeat them here. But, I will provid some pic's.

 

 

 

"The Quanum FPV goggle kit is based around a custom built 4.3in NON-blue screen monitor, providing a clear, bright, non blue image in even the worst of conditions. It contains a custom Fresnel lens, making the monitor crystal clear with a minimal viewing distance.  An ergonomic housing was custom molded to house the monitor and the lens, with adaptability to cater to various face types. The molded housing is made from EPP foam allowing you to carve and adjust the fit just right to your face and finishing it off with foam strips for a light tight seal. The goggles come with adjustable securing side straps and provisions for even a top strap. The top housing has a molded curved top for the option of attaching the goggle to the brim of your favorite ball cap for an even more custom DIY fit.

The monitor uses the common RCA style video in connections for video and audio, and has an included mini JST power adapter as well. The goggles can be switched between 16:9 or 4:3 aspect ratios and comes with 3 lenses included to find the most comfortable FPV viewing experience for you. 

With the Quanum DIY google’s large screen and broad immersive viewing angle, some will even prefer the view to other FPV options. The DIY kit is perfect to get into FPV or if you’re a seasoned FPV pilot who wants to give a bigger screen a try for a new feel in the sky. You could even use them as back up goggles or ride along goggles for spectators!"

Nice review. I love my set and ordered some as soon as I saw them (and they were back in stock). They work out great for that price.

I've made a mod for this kit for those who have a Turnigy 9x transmitter. It allows you to move the screen from the goggles to the transmitter back and forth so you can fly with the goggles on or with the screen on the TX (great for beginners who still want to keep an eye on their drones).

I'm looking for suggestions to improve the design, so please comment and give me your feedback.
