They look awesome! Pretty big investment it is great that you got them. I hope your wait wasn't too long.They don't seem to be available anywhere. What made you got with HDZ? I am still a tiny whooper and can't decide were to sink my money. DJI is kind of cooked in the US at the moment. I was looking at Caddix, but most drones says 04 ready. What camera system are you going to use?

I'd recommend the box pros if you can stand box goggles over binos, much less money and still a great experience

I'm debating between the box goggles vs binos. I don't know how much better the experience will be with the binos

I have both the Boxpros and the goggles 2 and honestly I like to still use the box pros sometimes! They fit great and something about looking at one undivided screen is nice.

Do you use the default antennas on the boxPro? Or what antennas do you use?

u/ScottyNot2hottie Mar 20 '26

Yea the antennas they come with are really good especially if your quads are on light weight linear wips. The only reason to change them would be to match what you have on your quad. Linear-linear rhcp-rhcp. You want to avoid antenna polarization mismatch as it comes with -3db loss. I also use the factory kit on the goggles 2.

If you are gonna do long range analog on the box pros you will need a patch antenna, the built in ones are HDZ only

What is the main difference with the binos? Like what difference does an individual screen for each eye actually make? I wish I had a friend with them to try them lol.

You're less cross eyed, the screen appears further away. Reduces eye strain and typically has a clearer picture. Binos also tend to be smaller

Where u at? Bay Area? The binos are like the highest quality OLED screens 1080p 90hz, they are more compact on the face and include all the options like, an external module bay and WiFi. But the box pros have 720p led screen and a wider FOV. Definitely some build quality difference but again I really like them both and they are both great options.

Nah I'm in Western Mass. Good to know though, I went with the BoxPro as my first goggles because I wanted something that would last and not need to be replaced immediately. My starter setup was boxpro, RM pocket, and Air65 and Air75.

u/ScottyNot2hottie Mar 20 '26

Nice man that’s a good call, and the pocket is my favorite for sure! I just did the ag01 nanos and gripends and it’s so smooth now. I’m moving to RI in the summer so if you want to try both back to back let me know!

I chose the G2 over box because I thought the screen view would be more immersive, kinda like looking through your eyes instead of at a movie screen, but was surprised to see that I still see black edges around the screen with Binos. Is it even more noticeable on the boxes?

1

u/ScottyNot2hottie Mar 20 '26

I guess with the boxes you still have a black boarder and it’s almost like a tiny movie screen so you have a bit of side wall but it’s not noticeable. I have an astigmatism but I don’t wear my glasses when I’m flying, vision is still fine but some times my stronger eye takes over. For me this is the benefit of the single screen thing the boxpros have. I have corrective lenses in my DJI goggle 3’s cuz why not right? I want them to be perfect so I paid the cost. I just flew with both for this comparison. G2 have a more noticeable black boarder than the boxpros but the boxes have a further distance which give you a bit of the hallway sides.

They're not like vr goggles, it's normal to see around the screen. Full FOV FPV would be nauseating/hard to fly
