Title: BUILD: DIY FPV / Video goggles
Post by: sandyx on February 07, 2016, 11:16:35 PM
Mostly parts lying around were used to make this, except for VR casing, LCD & ski goggles. Billing comes to around 4k.

Parts used:
VR goggles: http://www.banggood.com/Universal-Virtual-Reality-3D-Video-Glasses-For-iPhone-Smartphone-p-962310.html
5" LCD (800x480 non-bluescreen): http://www.banggood.com/Blue-Sky-5-Inch-HD-Digital-Panel-Display-800x480-Snowflakes-Screen-p-970382.html
Fresnel 3X: http://www.banggood.com/Full-Page-Magnifying-Sheet-Fresnel-Lens-3X-Magnification-PVC-Magnifier-p-969165.html
Ski goggles: http://www.ebay.in/itm/272112746178?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649a
+ misc from bin.

Power switches for Rx, LCD & HMDVR(optional). Video switch to choose between RX_OUT & DVR_OUT. DVR_OUT while recording will be unflyable/drivable. Can also be used to switch b/w AV1 & AV2 if AUX_IN connected.
Power header provided for HMDVR.
Onboard 3.5mm socket for earphones or Bluetooth adapter.
Weighs as much as a 5" smartphone fully loaded, feels light once worn.
Current draw: 210mah(Only Rx), 440mah(Rx+LCD), 460mah(Rx+LCD+video signal). VRx can be BEC bypassed if needed.
Upto 2hrs running with 1000mah/2S/25C LiPo. LV alarm equipped. 1hr tested.
Driving goggles used to obtain optimum eye relief since stock VR focus was too straining even with fresnel adjustments. Both goggles are screwed together with spacers & sealed.
Standard Boscam 8CH 5.8G VRx with linear/CP ant.
LCD menu buttons on lid for brightness/contrast/color/AR etc.
& zero wire clutter, fully integrated.

No WIP shots coz of improvisations at every step, not a pre-planned build.

Quad cam gives out weird colors, panel is brilliant otherwise.
