Couldn't agree more, my first FPV flight this weekend drove my wife nuts.
I kept asking "how high does it look & how far does it look" while I had the goggles on BUT no complaints when she wore the goggles and I just flew around LOS. LMAO
Great stuff guys!

For sure!
I was going to land with the goggles off but once I pulled them off it was like waking up from a sleep to a headlight in your face as my eyes tried to adjust so I said screw it and landed with goggles on the first time. That was a shocker too

Naza GPS is better than any spotter. It just sits were you let the controls go, ready for your input when you are. If you can't see it or if you are far far away, flip the rth and it comes to daddy. Has saved me a couple of times now where a spotter would not have been of any help. it's hard to see a 450mm quad 1.5km away
And if you are using the Gopro as fpv camera always REMEMBER TO PUT IT IN REC. The 120s auto power off (if in that mode) is a dark surprise in your goggles

Oh the first thing I did was go through the GoPro settings & selected it to Never auto turn anything off for that very reason.

let me put it another way, when you have a catastrophic failure and you need to know where it went down cause say a fire hazard or it's in water, whatever, it is really good to have somebody there. i don't ask my wife to watch, but i guess i've freaked out so many times when it's up she just watches it out of habit now and it never fails i'll pop up and ask and shes there pointing the finger which way it is..... At first even though your looking out a camera, if your up high it is really hard to tell where you are, where you need to be, etc. You'd be surprised how far away you can see it..... especialy in binos. miles
I've already broken Rule No. 5....
I bought the Hobbyking 5.8g 200mw FPV Tx & Rx and now want to add some Fatshark goggles but I understand that the two are not compatible.....
So can someone advise me of what to buy to achieve the following:
FPV setup on my 550 (see signature for details) - I don't need a huge range (500m should be ok as there's not much open space where I live in the UK and I already have the Spironet antenna) and I would like to be able to use a monitor as well as the goggles, although not necessarily at the same time...
Thanks in advance

you want to wait for this... theres a few goggles already shipping, but this is designed and built for you and your region

get the omni for the craft, directional patch for the goggles and you'll have mad range

Lost count, but I think we are on 15 or 16.
Know the rules and regs for your area of the world. Pilots operating illegally give the lawmakers more ammo to restrict the use of this technology.
