SKYZONE SKY02O FPV Goggles with SteadyView
While many pilots started to switch from analog FPV to digital one, dinosaurs like SKYZONE still focus on improving their 5.8G FPV goggles.

Eachine VR004: Convertible 2 in 1 FPV goggles monitor
The Eachine VR004 FPV goggles feature a modular design that allows easy conversion from a 4.3" FPV monitor into a veritable FPV headset. Fully assembled measures about 155x96x128mm and weighs 350 grams. IMHO, due to its small size, it will be difficult to be used with eyeglasses.
Thanks to the built-in 1300mAh Polymer battery, it can be used for up...
