Having special batteries which are used only for my FatShark goggles has proven to be a pain.  This voltage reducing cable allows me to use the same batteries on my goggles as I do my quads!  So far I really like this cable.  The first thing you'll notice is the lighter weight on your head and then you'll notice how long your battery lasts.  Here are some of the pieces you will need to make your own voltage reducing cable:
