Orqa FPV.ONE goggles – built to be the best?
Orqa, a new new player in goggles market, located in the Croatia, rumored to release FPV.One goggles, and promised them to be the best! These goggles will have 1280 x 960 resolution OLED microdisplays with the 44° FOV (FatShark’s HDO goggles for reference have 960 x 720 and 37° FOV). With these displays they would be currently the highest resolution OLED microdisplays used in compact FPV goggles. Native resolution is 1280×960, which is 4:3 and can be switched to 16:9 ( 1280×720 ) by turning off 120 lines in the OLED display. The inter-pupillary distance (IPD) is announced to be also the widest range in the market from 56 to 74 mm. Goggles will have adjustable eye-relief (this feature was scrubbed in the later revisions). FPV.One will use standart aftermarket receiver modules – they will have two bays for quadversity. DVR promised to be be “true HD” resolution – no clue what that should mean.
Goggles will have sensor that automatically turns off the OLED screeens and goes into automatic standby when you take the goggles of your head.
Orqa FPV.One will even have the power button, that other goggles forgot to equip and it will have separate button to quickly turn the OSD and check the battery level.

Orca’s plans are to start the preorders in November and launch the global sales in CES2019.
Will these nice goggles become the reality or will they wanish away like the Jerolac Captain G? Time will tell and we will see.
Edit 2018-12-31: ORQA is preparing for CES. They released a teaser on FB and Instagram.

EDIT 2019-05-27: Orqa decided to start with Kickstarter campaign.
Orqa FPV.One 499$ (MSRP 649$)
Orqa FPV.One + rapidFIRE Orqa Edition 599$ (MSRP 750$)
First units are planned to be shipped in August. More detailed production schedule and dynamics will be communicated in following weeks and days before campaign starts. Production of some parts has already started.
We are constantly growing our list of resellers globally. If you dont purchase your Orqa FPV.One during Kickstarter campaign – you will likely be able to buy it in your country from preferred reseller starting from September/early Fall depending on location.
Kickstarter has default refund policy if campaign is not successful, despite some misleading comments on FB groups. In addition, Orqa will make sure to design process so all of your money is insured before product is shipped. Hopefully this will encourage parts of the community that dont have confidence in ordering a new product from Kickstarter. Moreover, Orqa FPV.One comes with 1 year warranty covering all potential issues with repair locations globally.

My guess is that “true HD” refers to actual DVR recording in HD and not just resizing the resolution to become HD when you export it to a drive. Just a guess though
Maybe. I really doubt that they will manage to make Full HD recording, probably more like 1280×720.
WAITING WAITING WAITING ,, Better be DAMN GOOD customer support for $600 USD so when something goes wrong I don’t have to fly to Croatia and kick some butt
LOL. You’ll have to wait at least the April. Not likely happening sooner. And I would say better they would WORK GOOD and we will not need customer support 😉
Still waiting, I just do not believe they will be able to break into the market. By the time they release them they will be obsolete and priced WAY TOO HIGH and everyone will stick with what they know. Anyone spending $700 on goggles have already bought the hdo. Who will spend another $700 just to get a may be.
I believe they can break into the FPV Market. Fatshark hasn’t really done anything to the market. Yeah,sure they released the HD2 and HDO but each one of those had several shortcomings. Seeing how Fatshark has been around for quite sometime and really hasn’t listened to it’s customers demands are proof. I think the Orqa Kickstarter Campaign will sellout of spots.
