This looks like a reasonable deal?

That's a good deal Graham the cheapest I've found them in the UK is for around the £250 mark.
The only thing that puts me off is the delivery time (coming from china) and if you have a DOA or an issue shortly after delivery.

Yup thats the worst the delivery time. Been looking on ebay and people are bidding more for second hand sets??

I've been trawling the net and the cheapest I've found them is £247.99 but that's with free PnP.

Me to and HK and Banggood are the cheapest i have found:( People are asking silly money for 2nd hand sets:(

How is HK selling so cheap? Are they actual FatSharks or fakes?

Post by **danhampson** » Wed Jan 07, 2015 4:45 pm

Good question paul I didn't even think of them maybe being fake, this is hobbyking after all.

I don't know much about goggles I prefer screens. But I also prefer diversity receivers so you can have a short range and long range antenna mounted. I think I would look for a set of goggles with diversity but that is just me.

I may be wrong but I don't really think HK would sell fake Fatsharks.
I would imagine hey would lose distributor status from Fatshark.

Didn't know they were a distributor. Maybe they just sell enough of them to demand lower pricing from FatShark to pass along.

Check with Tony Graham. He got the Skyzones from the UK for a good price. More expensive than the ones you are looking at, but they'll be the last set of goggles you'll need.
Buy cheap, buy twice.

I would bet the major contributing factor is where they are based. I'm not an expert in world wide sales policies but here in the US we have to deal with the anti competitive practice of MAP which keeps advertised prices at a certain level. I don't think they have to follow those practices in China.
