A quick press changes the source to the AV input (and there is a blue screen here if no external video is detected). The M/SRC button allows you to change the video source and to adjust things such as brightness, contrast, etc. I was pleased at the accuracy of the “Search” feature. However, it was obvious that it wasn’t a good channel and hitting the scan button again continued the scan without passing the correct frequency. At both 3 meters and 10 meters the scan stopped at both D8 and R7, but it also stopped at nearby channels in A and B. Next, I set the VTx to Channel F8 (D8 – 5880). In multiple scans for this frequency, it always stopped at the correct channel and never at a nearby channel. In the goggles however, it displayed as C8 (the goggles displayed as A,B,C,D,R instead of A,B,E,F,R). Note: In the documentation this is called E8 (third row). This channel is the farthest away from the next-nearest channel. To test the “Search” (scan) feature, I first set the VTx on my quad to channel E8 (5945). Here’s a side-by-side size comparison of the VR01 and Quanum V2: The straps on the VR01’s are lighter-duty than on the Quanum’s, but they are easy to adjust, both on the sides and the top, and are sufficient to hold the weight of the goggles. The weight difference can be attributed to the smaller screen of the VR01 (4.3” vs 5”), but I actually don’t find this to be a negative. The FuriBee goggles weigh in at 298 grams – my Quanum‘s are 462 grams (all antennas attached, but no batteries). (I don’t wear huge glasses, so be aware that your glasses might interfere a bit.) I also wear glasses and the VR01 goggles fit perfectly over those. The foam is comfortable on my face and the only light allowed in is around the nose where there is no foam (I will add some foam to block the bit of light there). Compared to my Quanum V2 goggles, they are much smaller, lighter, and more comfortable to wear. The size and weight of the VR01 goggles is one of their better features. (Operation of the Menu/Source control is covered below.) Size and Fit I haven’t tested the “Video in/Audio out” feature yet – I may use this port later for DVR playback when I add a DVR.
#FURIBEE VR01 FPV GOGGLES MANUAL#
You can use the manual channel selection buttons on the right if the scan misses your channel (see scan testing below). Using the VR01 couldn’t be simpler: Power up the video transmitter on your quad, plug in the battery on the goggles, and hit the “Search” button on the left (if necessary – the receiver in the goggles remembers the last channel used.) I use a light-weight, 2s 600mAh lipo and attach the battery the bottom of the goggles with a hook-and-loop fastener (and left the cable “twist-tied” up.) There is a small clip on the side of the goggles to hold the cable. The power cable is 0.75 m (~30 inches), so you could put the battery in your pocket if desired. When flying indoors, I’ve used the goggles with only the mushroom antenna (on either side), and it seems to work fine. It doesn’t matter which sides you put the two antennas on. The only thing you need to do is to attach the antennas, and plug in the battery. The FuriBee VR01 goggles come mostly pre-assembled.
