I have been looking to get a pair og FPV Goggles, but as I understand the FAA does not want you to use them because you don't have a direct line of sight of your Drone.

I have looked at the Epson, but support is so bad, that I would not bay anything from them at this time. Customer  service is real bad. I talked to 4 rep. and only one had any ideal wwith the product was, and that one person told me that it does not work the way they said it would work, and that is why they call it a developer verson, and that is the only one they have at this time. So for $700, I don't think it is worth it at this time.

I like the  Fat Shark Attitude V2 as it runs about $465, but then you have the issue with the FAA,

Do anyone know of a pair like the Epson BT-200, but will work like the  Fat Shark Attitude V2? or should I just "forget about it"

Sorry to get off topic here, but i don't get how FAA knows when you cant see the drone in a line of sight. And when you went above the maximum height limit, how can they know that you broke a rule when there not even near you?  I have heard people getting fined for this, but how do they fine them when FAA representatives aren't even around you when your flying??

That is a very good point. But after spending 20 years in the US Army, going by the rules are normal for a guy like me. It only takes one time, and with people always wanting to turn you in for something that they don't like you doing. It only take a call, or a cop that does not you you flying a drone.

To many people just don't understand drones, and they think you will be spying on them, they just go off.

But I do understand what you are saying. I also now see that on some of the YouTube videos that talk about FPV goggle, are now telling you that the FAA has a rule about it, so they are now doing a lot of CYA.
