Wanted

FPV Goggles for School Project


Hello everyone,

I am an engineering student working on a robotics project for a competition, and I have a camera on board transmitting video wirelessly.

The thing is, I really want to be able to view the video in the way you guys do FPV flying (which is really, really cool by the way).

But because I am on a budget (student life ), I can't spend more than ~$50. I was wondering if anyone has a low-end set of video goggles which they are willing to part with at a price I can afford (I can use Paypal). I would really appreciate it.

By the way, I am from Canada.

Thanks a lot for your time!

Thanks, but I couldn't find anything, unfortunately. I really hope someone here has a pair.

It can be the most basic pair of goggles, it doesn't really matter. Mostly because I don't have the funds for anything better.

Unfortunately, neither ships to Canada. I will contact them to ask though. Thanks for your kind help.

Edit: Geez, as a Canadian I'm not even allowed to contact an American seller!

Looks cool! Will check it out. I'm just afraid that a DIY solution may make me look a little goofy, because I don't have a good way to make a decent housing yet. I am working on a 3D printer. Once I'm done that, I'll definitely make one.

Thanks for this awesome suggestion!

Thank you so much! You are too kind!

I looked at the description of each, and am a little hesitant though. Well, the buy it now one is out of my price range, unfortunately. The one which is currently at $25 looks good, but the description makes me feel a tad uncomfortable. He doesn't know if the battery or system works properly, and won't accept returns.

What do you suggest? Again, I can't thank you enough for your very kind offer.
