Connecting EV800D Goggles to a Simulator

Questions & Answers
1

Hi,

I’ve now received my contoller and linked this up to Velocidrone - no problems.

Next step is to link my EV800D goggles, which isn’t as straight forward. From what I can see, I need an HDMI2AV converter and a camcorder RCA to 3.5mm jack and this should then work.

Can anyone confirm if this works before I go down this route?

Many thanks

I thought the EV800D was video OUT not IN? Might be wrong though?

I’ll have to check when I get home, but says in on the manual

Yeah does say video in. though that’s composite old style yellow, how you output that from a PC… you’d need some kind of adapter, and don’t think it’ll be cheap. could be wrong.
I don’t use my EV clone (was meant to be a real EV800, but hey ho got conned), on the PC, just he radio master!

I was hoping to train my eyes as well as the muscle memory using the radiomaster.

I don’t think it will cost much, the converter is £11.29

The RCA to 3.5mm is £7.75 and so it doesn’t cost a lot if it actually works…

I’ll just have to give it a try.

Let us know how you get on, as I may try it myself, lol! £12 is nothing in this hobby lol!

I did this with my DJI goggles V2, hdmi to rca adapter, TRRS to RCA cable, all good to go. Bit of a faff, not the greatest quality etc etc, but it works. I hope it’s a similar experience with your goggles

I bought a cheap avout video card from ebay for a tenner. Had to wire up my own av cable though as my skyzones were wired oddly.

Sounds like it should work then. Thanks

Hoping I’ll not have to do any diy wiring :crossed_fingers:

I’ll report back.

I can confirm that this works.

It was very straight forward :smiley:

Great for watching films too then?

Yeah, that would work.

I can cancel my trip to see bond at the cinema tomorrow now :joy:

Boom. Will look into that. Though they are quite heavy for long sim sessions I imagine

They’re not too bad, you could have a pretty lengthy session without any problems.

Really glad I did this, I’m not getting my drone for another 6 weeks, so practicing with the goggles should make a real difference, it’s a completely different experience to using the monitor.

Pleased with my flight progress so far after only a few days, although real life will be different I’m sure. :grimacing:

Hardest part is keeping my head still :joy:
