Good day! If this is your first time to the channel, welcome! I'm TMac. I help pilots
like you start and continue their Journey to Better FPV fun through
videos like this one and the rookie-friendly Fast Track FPV Course which will
get you in the air having fun flying FPV in minimal time, at less overall cost, and
in a safe and responsible manner. It's through the Fast Track FPV Course, since
the summer of 2019, I've been able to provide more detailed instruction and on
a more personal and individualized basis. You're welcome to check out the course
curriculum and student reviews through the Fast Track FPV course link in the
video description below. In this previous video, I upgraded my FPV goggles with the
ImmersionRC rapidFIRE module using the inexpensive Skyzone module adapter. Today,
I'm going to introduce you to another fun FPV goggles upgrade that's something
a little bit different. You see, I'm gonna do an FPV goggle strap review. A goggle
strap review?!? No, not just "A" goggle strap review - but "THE" FatStraps Goggle Strap!
Ready to "Strap One On?" Then give this video a "thumbs up" below, share with your pilot
buddies to spread the fun, and subscribe to your TMac FPV channel - your home
for your "Journey to Better" FPV fun, flights, and racing stuff! This is my old
standard goggle strap for my Aomway Commander goggles. It's 1 inches wide and
has this awkward overhead strap with a battery holder in the back. It's made out
of this thin elastic material which you can see is already getting frayed.
Another issue with this strap is it would slip down the back of my head toward my
neck if I didn't originally place it up high enough to begin with on my head. And
this is one of the two FatStraps FPV goggle straps I ordered. First I'll go
over its design and features and then I'll quickly show you how I installed it
on my Aomway Commanders. To begin with, it's pretty obvious to see that it's
wider than your normal goggle strap. You might even say it's "fatter." It's two
inches instead of one, of the normal goggle strap, which lessens the pressure
on your head making them extremely comfortable. In fact, for me, it feels like
they're not even on my head. The extra wide strap also keeps the goggles stable
and secure in one position so they're not going to slip down your head towards
your neck. These FatStraps fit on Fatshark goggles, Skyzones,
Aomways, and FatStraps even has a design that fits the DJI goggles. The quality of
this material is impressive - especially compared with the standard goggle straps.
In fact, these FatStraps come in both the customizable military-grade molle
elastic or one of the cool designs on the pre-printed material. And I don't see
this material breaking down anytime soon. Check this out!
They even have a pocket for your battery as opposed to just a loop like on most
other goggle straps. The pocket prevents the battery from falling out. On other
straps you might need to use an additional battery strap wrapped around
the goggle strap just to keep the battery in place. Not with these FatStraps!
Oh yeah, I haven't even mentioned how cool they look! The molle elastic
version is customizable with your own logo - just reach out to FatStraps to
see what they can do for you. In fact, Steve over at FatStraps even thought
enough to ask me for my head measurement to ensure that the placement of my
customized TMac FPV logo would be visible and not covered up by the strap
buckle. Now I'd say that's some outstanding service and they ship the day after I
ordered them! Now, if you don't want to customize your own, the ones FatStraps
have in stock are amazing too! You can check them out at FatStrapsFPV.com,
the FatStraps Facebook page, or FatStraps FPV goggle straps are also sold
at RaceDayQuads (and check out all the varieties they have), and GetFPV. If you
have any questions, just message Steve through the FatStraps Facebook site or
the FatStraps FPV contact form and I've found he responds very quickly. Now let's
briefly look at how I put the strap on the Aomway Commanders which is
actually more difficult than on the other FPV goggles previously mentioned.
All right, the first thing we're gonna do is take this foam off. Take this screw
out and lift this up. There it goes. Now we can take this face plate off (which we
need to take off so that we can separate the top and bottom piece of the goggles)
and remove this pin. So we need to lift up here. See these holes right here?
Actually they're clips. They clip on here and here. But now what I can do is
separate this a little and as I separate it I can pull this pin out like that.
Then slide this off like that. Then I want to get my new strap from FatStraps.
Cool sticker! We want to take this end of the strap and slide that on in here,
like so. Then we're just gonna separate the top and bottom part of
goggles again and slide the pin in like that. Then we're gonna reinsert the
screw that goes in here. Then we're going to do the same thing with this
side. Now separate them, slide the pin out like that. Then I can slide the old strap
off the pin. We're going to put this end of the new strap over the pin
like so. Stick the pin back in there. Then put that screw back in. Okay now we need
to put the face plate back on. It snaps on. So now we can put the screw back in
here. Then we can put the new pad on.
We're all set! Check out how the battery fits in there.
Fits nicely in there. It's got this little pocket here underneath so the
battery won't fall out. Good stuff! Thank You FatStraps! "Strap One On!"
So, that's the FatStraps FPV goggle strap. Fun, customizable, inexpensive, and comes
with outstanding service from the sunshine state of Florida. No more
worries about your goggles slipping around on your head or if your goggle
batteries gonna come loose in flight. It's time to strap one on! If you liked
