With FPV in mind Eachine have a created EV800D &#8211; cheap goggles for under $100. Another neat feature about this goggle is that it can switch between being a goggle and a portable ground station aka moggle. Without further ado let\u2019s get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Eachine EV800D is the second iteration of the much popular EV800 only much better. The \u201cD\u201d in the EV800D stands for diversity receiver, which means that there are 2 virtual receivers inside the goggles that switch between automatically whichever receiver is having the better strength signal wise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Imagine you have 2 different brands of sim cards, when moving around one sim may have better strength than the other and we switch accordingly. The same logic applies here.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id_0f9b47-ad .kb-table-of-content-wrap{padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-right:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-left:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);}.kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id_0f9b47-ad .kb-table-of-contents-title-wrap{padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id_0f9b47-ad .kb-table-of-contents-title{font-weight:regular;font-style:normal;}.kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id_0f9b47-ad .kb-table-of-content-wrap .kb-table-of-content-list{font-weight:regular;font-style:normal;margin-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;}<\/style>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">UNBOXING<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/dronenodes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/ev800d-review-goggles.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"555\" src=\"\/\/dronenodes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/ev800d-review-goggles.jpg\" alt=\"ev800d-review-goggles\" class=\"wp-image-5630\" title=\"ev800d-review-goggles\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dronenodes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/ev800d-review-goggles.jpg 800w, https:\/\/dronenodes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/ev800d-review-goggles-150x104.jpg 150w, https:\/\/dronenodes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/ev800d-review-goggles-300x208.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dronenodes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/ev800d-review-goggles-768x533.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dronenodes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/ev800d-review-goggles-65x45.jpg 65w, https:\/\/dronenodes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/ev800d-review-goggles-220x153.jpg 220w, https:\/\/dronenodes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/ev800d-review-goggles-144x100.jpg 144w, https:\/\/dronenodes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/ev800d-review-goggles-358x248.jpg 358w, https:\/\/dronenodes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/ev800d-review-goggles-577x400.jpg 577w, https:\/\/dronenodes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/ev800d-review-goggles-649x450.jpg 649w, https:\/\/dronenodes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/ev800d-review-goggles-735x510.jpg 735w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The box contains EV800D (A 5.8Ghz 40CH integrated diversity receiver with DVR) and accompaning&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Clover leaf antenna<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Panel antenna<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Battery charger<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>User manual<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Carrying bag for the goggle<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>3S to DC power cable<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wall adapter<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>DC video input cable<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Eachine really hit the home run with this goggle.

This eliminates the need to manually scroll through every channel.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/dronenodes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Convertible-Ground-Station-Goggles.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"\/\/dronenodes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Convertible-Ground-Station-Goggles.jpg\" alt=\"Convertible Ground Station Goggles\" class=\"wp-image-5638\" title=\"Convertible Ground Station Goggles\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dronenodes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Convertible-Ground-Station-Goggles.jpg 800w, https:\/\/dronenodes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Convertible-Ground-Station-Goggles-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/dronenodes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Convertible-Ground-Station-Goggles-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dronenodes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Convertible-Ground-Station-Goggles-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dronenodes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Convertible-Ground-Station-Goggles-65x37.jpg 65w, https:\/\/dronenodes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Convertible-Ground-Station-Goggles-220x124.jpg 220w, https:\/\/dronenodes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Convertible-Ground-Station-Goggles-178x100.jpg 178w, https:\/\/dronenodes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Convertible-Ground-Station-Goggles-358x201.jpg 358w, https:\/\/dronenodes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Convertible-Ground-Station-Goggles-711x400.jpg 711w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>As mentioned earlier the goggle detaches, serving 2 purposes- one as a goggle and the other as a ground station. \u00a0The cool thing about the ground station is that you can mount it on a tripod stand with a 6mm hole on the bottom of the goggle and let others give some action of FPV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also start off into FPV by mounting on a tripod stand. You can get a feel of the orientation of the drone and start with the real FPV afterwards. The display is bright enough to be visible outdoors. So it should do ok when mounted on a tripod.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/dronenodes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/eachine-moggles-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"617\" src=\"\/\/dronenodes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/eachine-moggles-1.jpg\" alt=\"eachine-moggles\" class=\"wp-image-5641\" title=\"eachine-moggles\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dronenodes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/eachine-moggles-1.jpg 960w, https:\/\/dronenodes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/eachine-moggles-1-150x96.jpg 150w, https:\/\/dronenodes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/eachine-moggles-1-300x193.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dronenodes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/eachine-moggles-1-768x494.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dronenodes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/eachine-moggles-1-65x42.jpg 65w, https:\/\/dronenodes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/eachine-moggles-1-220x141.jpg 220w, https:\/\/dronenodes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/eachine-moggles-1-156x100.jpg 156w, https:\/\/dronenodes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/eachine-moggles-1-358x230.jpg 358w, https:\/\/dronenodes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/eachine-moggles-1-622x400.jpg 622w, https:\/\/dronenodes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/eachine-moggles-1-700x450.jpg 700w, https:\/\/dronenodes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/eachine-moggles-1-794x510.jpg 794w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"tab-con-1\">DVR- RECORDING MADE EASY<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is where the EV800D really stands out from the rest of the crowd. DVR stands for digital video recording. This neat feature allows you to record everything the goggles displays on the screen.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though external DVR recorders are available, they add a few miliseconds of latency,&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The DVR feature eliminates the need for a HD recording device on the drone itself thereby reducing the weight of the drone. It also helps to recover a drone in case one is lost by looking at the DVR footage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although it records video getting displayed on the screen, it also records the loss of footage (known as static). The recorded video is also of lower quality when compared to a standalone HD recorder present on the quad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"tab-con-9\">LCD DISPLAY &nbsp;&#8211;&nbsp; IMAGE QUALITY<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The 5 inch display is crisp and bright. The OSD screen helps to adjust the brightness and other parameters. Long pressing the SRC menu button on the goggles opens up the menu screen where you can adjust brightness, contrast, sharpness and the aspect ratio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Fresnel lens which has 3X magnification factor gives the image a more immersive feel. I remember my first time wearing a FPV goggle, I was disoriented and lost my balance waving my hand trying to reach the object LOL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The battery doesn\u2019t last long, as claimed by Eachine. The company claims to get a 2 hour battery life. In reality it is more like an hour and a fifteen minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Battery is 1.2Ah, down from the 2Ah from the previous generation, maybe it was in attempt to reduce the weigt of the goggle as much as possible.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So I\u2019d recommend charging the battery more often, depending on how much you fly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The goggle also has a video input port on the side. If you are not satisfied with the video quality from receiver, you can always use an external receiver. Many external diversity receivers are available that offer fantastic vide quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"tab-con-2\">PROS AND CONS<\/h2>\n\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id_78eb4e-aa > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id_78eb4e-aa > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}.kb-row-layout-id_78eb4e-aa > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);grid-template-columns:repeat(2, minmax(0, 1fr));}.kb-row-layout-id_78eb4e-aa > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id_78eb4e-aa > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:repeat(2, minmax(0, 1fr));}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-row-layout-id_78eb4e-aa > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style><div class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id_78eb4e-aa alignnone wp-block-kadence-rowlayout\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-2-columns kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top\">\n<style>.kadence-column_e5c6c1-ad > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column_e5c6c1-ad > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column_e5c6c1-ad > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column_e5c6c1-ad > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column_e5c6c1-ad > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column_e5c6c1-ad > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column_e5c6c1-ad{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column_e5c6c1-ad > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column_e5c6c1-ad > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column_e5c6c1-ad\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\">\n<ul>\n<li>+ Very affordable at $100<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>+ Built in DVR<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>+ High quality 5 inch display<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>+ Ground station modularity<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>+ Auto Scan<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>+ External video receiver option<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>.kadence-column_2b3955-87 > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column_2b3955-87 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column_2b3955-87 > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column_2b3955-87 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column_2b3955-87 > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column_2b3955-87 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column_2b3955-87{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column_2b3955-87 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column_2b3955-87 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column_2b3955-87\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\">\n<ul>\n<li>&#8211; Battery duration<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8211; Weighty at facefront<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8211; Face foam pad cannot be removed, only replaced<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"tab-con-3\">CONCLUSION<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When compared to the older versions the EV800D has some useful features added to an already good beginner\u2019s goggles. The diversity receiver and the DVR feature are a neat addition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are a beginner looking to get into FPV and don\u2019t want to spend a good chunk of cash in the process, this goggles is the way your best choice. The EV800D is affordable and has fair quality. Even though this goggle has some cons, they are outweighed by the pros and I would def. recommend it for a beginner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hope you enjoyed reading and helped you in some way in getting some understanding of a good beginner\u2019s goggles.
