With Aomway (like with Fatshark), support isn't limited to the retailer you bought them from. I got my Commanders (V1) from Banggood was experiencing a weird video issue (ultimately my fault), and while Banggood was willing to throw some money at the problem, I really wanted a solution since getting a pair took so long. Reaching out to Aomway customer support directly I had a response and a solution in less then 24 hours. The narrative that all Chinese manufacturers are unresponsive is tired and no longer accurate. Also, a skipped major feature is the built in OSD that comes with the Commanders to monitor channel, brightness, contrast, and DVR access (playback after a crash has been a huge help). Allows extra capability, and even for the things Fatsharks can do it beats the pants off listening for different beeps and counting. Feel on your face is a legitimate, albeit subjective, concern that will vary from person to person because faces are different shapes, but if you get a chance to try on a pair of Commanders and like the way they feel as much as I do, their technical superiority eats Fatsharks lunch.

DigitalOsmosis I tried emailing with Aomway and after 5 messages I gave up. Then they came online on rcgroups.com and I sent them 2 pm's still not a word. So maybe I'll just get some Fatsharks, though I don't like having to buy a separate diversity module.

"The narrative that all Chinese manufacturers are unresponsive is tired and no longer accurate." Fatshark is chinese and so is TBS. Even if the bosses came from outside, they live and produce there. And also at Fatshark they do have bad days. Mine came faulty, too. Sure, their support is a big winner!

100% agree. I had an issue with an Aomway TX01 switcher vtx. I'd bought it as a spare so it was over 30 days before I tried it. The retailer said tough. I contacted Aomway directly and they replaced it along with offering a discount on any other items of theirs I wanted as well.

I had such a hard time deciding on these two as well! Was forced due to supply to choose the FatSharks and I am very glad I did, I love them for the quality and for the simplicity. As a casual flyer, and a beginner, I find very little need for most of those extra things although I would definitely like diversity. One thing I wanted to say is a big thank you to Banggood's customer service dept, as I just had a no-nonsense exchange with them about my defective Lizard 95 camera, and they quickly and competently issued me a replacement camera at no charge. Fantastic. Happy and flying over here!

mike jh thank you. I was just going to ask the same thing. I have had attitude v1,v2 and dom v2,v3 and hd v2 oh and the dom se. And only the dom v3 compared as far as screen quality. The skyzones diversity is second to none, even ground stations. The pic quality looks like crap on paper but is by far the best image quality I have tried. The spectrum analyzer is freaking awesome becuase you don't have to keep taking the goggles on and off to make sure what frequency your on or to see if your on the same channel as a friend your trying to watch. These goggles get over looked every time because they are not advertised like the others. Now my son and I have had ours over a year and a half and have had no issues. But the one and only downside to skyzone is trying to find their customer support. Thank god I haven't needed them lol. But I would not hesitate to buy another pair what so ever.

I like buying from the underdog as the are often innovating to gain market space - drib uses skyzones and now I see why - all of fatsharks quality, few of the oversights. Only one thing that they should have, all goggles should have in fact is a low battery warning! Can't imagine why that gets left out... There are ways around though, as always.

oh and I wanted to share this Banggood buying tip I always use: They offer free shipping on all orders, so you can buy a $1 item and if you use your paypal account to pay at least half the time you get a little bonus spin. Everything there is almost worthless except the 10% off any app purchase. I make sure I always have one of those in my coupons so if I make a larger purchase I just pay from the app on my phone and get an extra 10% off. That made my Aomway Commanders only cost $311. Pretty sweet discount you can get over and over.

If its any help James Hicks i just took delivery of the commander's a couple of day's ago. I went through Aliexpress and got them for £258. First thing i did was drop them, accidently Lol, but happy to say no damage done, wouldn't reccomend it though. As for the goggles themselves they are great comfortable great resolution everything i was hoping for and more. I am relatively new to FPV and still use a sim for practice and the HDMI port was a must have for me. I know there are cheaper box style goggles that have the feature but these ticked all the boxes so i went for these. Another is having the Diversity feature available from the get go, mine are the upgraded version with the print on the buttons and they also come with two good antennas a circular and a patch. Also the battery cable is great as you can use anything from a 2/3/4 S. Hope this helps, and good luck with whatever you decide to go with. :)

I got a pair of the Commanders through fu-rc. They do a rebadge, some firmware update and send them out. As far as being able to fly goes they work great, but the DVR never worked. I tried about 7-8 cards with no luck. I can't really recommend buying them from fu-rc, their customer service isn't great. But I did contact Aomway and they answered right away. They had me update the firmware but that didn't work, so now it looks like they might be sending me a new DVR module to try. So it seems there is customer support from Aomway themselves.

I believe that last quality issues you mentioned about Aomway's are tied to typical Chinese business practice. To cut costs, manufacturing resources are used without timely maintenance and hardware change etc. going in run down state and starting to making problems with production quality. Kabab recently had brilliant talk with Skidoosh (you can found recording in his KZitem page) who have manufacturing plants in China where he told about such issues who literally plague Chinese manufacturing in great scale. In December 2017 Aokfly borked in the same way - last batches of their motors started to have issues which wasn't noticed earlier. There is only two ways to continue - they will repair their manufacturing lines as required in their specs or will end tits up.

Another consideration is that for the $$$ that you're saving you can buy a furiousFPV diversity module + the ultra portable base station that they're about to drop. So now you've got the ability to use the fancier diversity module when you're at a race day and the commander diversity when just flying around the park. Personally the screen size is the issue. With the imminent release of the furious base station perhaps an antenna-less solution is in the cards.

I have commanders and I do not regret my choice. I hemmed and hawed over them vs. dom v3's but in the end when I needed to buy a module for the dom v3 and the "good" ones ran 70+ I chose the commanders. FWIW I don't think you can go wrong with any of these goggles and if a friend asked me what thought about any of these three in order, I'd recommend the commanders first, then the dom v3's, then the attitude v4's. The attitude v4 right now has limited ability to do diversity and IMO non ability to do 16:9 is a problem not a choice. If you think the attv4 is a great goggle, thumbs up, I'm certain you made the best choice for you. All in all I'm glad somebody other than Fatshark (yes I know Skyzone's exist, and yes I know they compare favorably to domv3 and commanders) is pushing the right buttons on this and more competition leads to better cheaper products for us the consumers.

I flew with my quanum v2's for months and upgraded to the fatsharks dom v3's. I must say I thought going from 4;3 to 16;9 was going to be a huge difference, but it really isn't.. Even with a 4;3 camera the picture is very similar to one another. Only real difference is that my depth perception/spatial awareness just doesn't seem as on point when flying really close to the ground with the fatsharks. It's like looking through a car mirror where objects are closer than they appear.

i use my commanders since april 2-3 times a week, never used again my dom v2. love these googles range with good antennas is excellence. The Updated DVR is great quality. Only Downside ... the foam of facemask isn't very durable, must replace them after everytime after 6-8 weeks. was a little better at fatshark. would defintly buy them again. .... when they available 😂

Yay dom v3s that's the goggles I wear with furious true d 3.0, btw thanks for you opinion about electrical noise in the fpv feed it was because the vtx sma had received to much stress from a few pretty harsh crashes. It basically worked the pins loose and the vtx bit the dust yesterday

What about the most important part how the picture actually looks when you are flying.. I am pretty sure the Commanders have the best picture quality...

My biggest issue with all of these so far is the FOV, they're so small! I tried a pair of Dom3's the other day and while I didn't fly with them I found the screen felt too far away or too small. Is this something people get used to? I've been flying with a cheap pair of ev800's and the screen feels like it's triple the size, I'm used to it, I don't really know where to go from here. I really do want diversity though and ability to upgrade the module on the fatsharks tips me towards them.

I was looking into getting a new pair of goggles a few weeks ago. I really wanted the Commanders and didn't want to buy another pair of fatsharks. But after sitting on 3 different waiting list or notification list I should say for the Commander for over 2 months. I ended up just getting the Fatshark Attitude V4. Doesn't matter how good a product is if you can't buy it whats the point. I can pick up some variety of fatshark goggles at atleast 3 of my local RC shops. And I think that's why fatshark remains dominate in this market despite them having descent competitors out there. Most of the time the competitor's products are on pre-order are under restock and the stay that way for months at a time. Where as I can drive to a local RC shops and they have fatsharks just sitting on the shelf as whale as being very easy to find online.

Thanks, It never occurred to me they might have production/quality problems or at least there's something going on. Something else; Do you know Sander Sassen? He says he's developing an app to program the Tramp with your phone. I guess he want to promote his channel doing so because he wants 500 likes. Personally I can't wait for this app to become a reality.(I didn't put a link here otherwise this comment would be spam-filtered) Hope you want to help by making a comment referring to his video or channel. I'm new in the hobby and just want help make things better :)

audiogek as convenient as that sounds, I'd much rather use the TnR wand to program the tramp. Getting my phone close enough to the NFC antenna would be painful. Admittedly the TnR wand is rarely in stock ... anywhere ... but this is how I configure all my quads now and I'd hate to rely on the NFC capabilities of my phone, which can also vary between android updates and versions. I believe there is also a smart audio option but don't quote me.

You can say that about a lot of things that can be substituted with something else but often they don't do the job any where near as well as the one thing designed for the job. I paid $50 USD from the rotor riot store which is 43 Euro. I threw in a couple of other items and shipping and paid just over 60 Euro. It's still not cheap but considering it can configure all three of my quads, runs off of standard AA batteries and so far never needs recharging, it's way more convenient than a phone. Including batteries it weighs 62g and occupies almost no space. The support is good and there are feature improvements that are provided in firmware updates that may not kick across to the app in a timely manner, if at all. I'd also not want to rely on the app when other people's quads are at risk of dropping out of the sky if the app misreports what is actually going on.

I like to stay positive until there is a reason not to. So at least I'll give it a try when the app releases. Locally the Wand is €55 +5 shipping, and when importing to Europe import tax has to be paid and makes it even more expensive.

audiogek that's fair enough. I wasn't being negative, just espousing the positives of the existing product for anyone reading. I'd heard of the app or at least the potential to read the data using a phone's NFC capabilities and I am hopeful. I still think it will be hard to make it's usefulness as convenient as the wand but fingers crossed.

Hi Joshua! I would like to ask you one question about FATSHARK HD3. I'm a total noob about electronics, but I'm wondering, if I can power those goggles with 2S (or 3S) LIPO battery. The spec of FS HD3 says "DC input: 7 - 13V" so I think that I can do that if I mod the connector of the battery (or use adapter). I heard that those FS batteries are not really good. I would like to use 2S 2200 mAh Lipo which I used for my JJ PRO f01 (box goggles). (I saw few YT videos of guys doing battery mods for FS goggles, but the all used Li-Ion 18650 batteries)

If youll fly 16:9 your brain will adapt, that happened with myself . Flying 16:9 stretched for 2 year by now. I even could notice that image is stretched , my brain tells me that the picture is normal. But no problems with 4:3 , I see that picture is different , but not so much

I use the Realacc module on my Attitude V3's. You only need to cut of the upper edge down to the bottem of the module bay. The plastic is soft and leaves no sharp edges. 2 minutes by hand or seconds with a dremel - done. FatShark stock receivers(nextwaveRF FSV2442 to be specific) are by far the worst I have ever tried. My Eachine $60 boxgoggles have better reception. Considering image quality, latency, access to the module bay and available knowledge base...I'll stick to fatshark. Choose your poison: get a receiver, diversity, antenna combo you can thrust and replace in the field when necessary. If you do not want to spend a fortune and have competitive latency - Headplay SE V2. These or the DOM HD V3s are my goto goggles atm. P.S.: modded Attitudes diversity module switch touches the goggles body when pressed. I left it because I only taped the top part of the goggles - so the rain does not come in and the goggles look pretty stock. I bought Attis as entry goggles and they served me well; they made me also realize that it does not matter that much if you spent 300 or 800 bucks on these - you are going to crash way more hardware in the first months flying than the worth of goggles or a decent TX...just sayin'
