/ Spencer Gould

For the readers of the web site I wanted to compile a list of the best options today for Large field of view FPV goggles. when I got into FPV I was not impressed with the typical “Fat Shark” narrow field of view googles and wanted an IMAX experience. Headplay FPV was one of the first companies that could supply this and I was an early purchaser of their system.

Here is a list of the 5 options I would recommend today for a Wide FOV FPV goggle system. #ad
