DJI FPV Goggles & Vista/Air Unit Won't Bind ? - DJI's Firmware Mess Explained 

This RU-vid needs to be linked to every FPV sales site that deals with DJI gear.. I just had a world of issues trying to rebind my gogs with my caddx units, wishing I had seen this first. Thank you for making it very clear on what works, and what doesn't work with, which which version of software

This is exactly the info I was looking for. I loved how he had all the air units, goggles, and controllers as props to keep everything he’s explaining clear. Great job, Ian!!!

what a short video cause I had assumed it would be far longer so you must have done a very good job in nailing it in a short way. Chapeau ! Well done .

Thanks for all the info, Ian!!! 😊 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Very well done! Thanks for all you do!

Thank you for your help once again mate. I'm astonished that after 6 months they still have not resolved the loosing the binds issue. I have the v2 but don't want to take apart quads to get them rebound again. I thought this long on, they would have sorted this out lol. Blooming DJI :(

Wow so much info ,Thank you Ian.

DJI needs to watch this so they know just how MESSED UP their compatibility logic is.

That's all we want to know. Thanks for the video!!

Thank You! Great Work!

Thanks for this Ian!

Thanks, your video solved my problem! 👌

Livesaver. Great video. Thank you

Your title is very correct! It is definitely a firmware mess... rather than getting new models every few months nowadays, not once a year like before, they should take care for making it a bit easier with the firmware and think things through. Really terrible! But thanks to your video, I might be able to make my v2 goggles work with my vista and my o3...

Thanks for this video. Just subscribed.

Thanks! I'll be downgrading my v2 googles (after I just upgraded) in order to use my vista nebulas on 5 previously built quads. . Do I also need to downgrade my DJI FPV (that I also just upgraded) in order to use my v2 googles with it? Thank you.

Thank you for clear information. I hope Goggles 2 will works dji FPV drone

Great videos sir. I have 4 quads running Vista's, with the v1 goggles and v1 RC, as well as the DJI FPV and Avata (with Goggles v2). Due to the complexity of the firmware between goggles, air units, and RC, it's simply easier to not bother trying to get compatibility, and just use the old rc and goggles with the old vistas. And if I put on my scepticism hat, DJI is ok with the mess, as it encourages users to just buy the newer system. Eventually, the v1 stuff becomes dust collectors, which is such a shame since it's still an amazing FPV system.

Excellent explanation 👌. BUT these firmwares are really frustrating 😑 lots of people that started in our hobby. It's a deterrent to many people. Lots of folks r not computer savvy.

thank you very much

Hi, thanks for the clarifications, if I may, I have a question: say I have the old Dji Goggles V2 and perform the upgrade to the latest version in order to use them with O3 air units, will I still be able to use those Goggles together with the DJI FPV drone and it's original controller?

Thanks bro!!

Briliant Ian, My problem is as i have fw 0606 on my v2 goggles and matching on the air unit, after replacing the fc stack i get no further transmission (black) and 'transmission signal stopped' shown. Everything worked perfectly before with the 2 hacks.. Any advice or solutions desperately needed..cheers Ian

Great video & very informative but wow what a mess. I recently upgraded my V2 goggles to the latest firmware along with a new air unit I purchased but now my old DJI remote won't work, I then downgraded the air unit back to vol.00.0608 to match my radio but I can't seem to downgrade my goggles. Is there something I can do or am I having to purchase the new DJI radio? Thank you & I look forward to any advice you can give me, this is so frustrating.

Thank you

Thank You!

God... so helpful. Hwy does it have to be SUCH a mess with all of this?! I am going to update my goggles V2 now and hope to still be able to use my caddy vista as well as my O3.

Hi Mads can you point me in right direction for FCC ?for my dji fpv quad? Im in Spain and need more range Ive got the V2 goggles with it

Thank you for the clear explanation. Regarding the bind with goggles 2 and grey controller 2 and Air unit O3 it works well, instead I'm loosing the bind with the Avata, and vice versa, if i bind my Avata I'm loosing the bind with the 03, I have to bind again each time I switch between O3 and Avata, tiring....😭 Any suggestion on how to solve that issue? Thank you again.

Thank you!!!!!

I recently came back to the hobby with my gen 1 goggles and thought it was a good idea to update everything first and tried to bind them for +1h before finding this video. There should be a message in the DJI Assistant or at least in the FAQ on the DJI site. Its also possible there is one and iam just blind. Thx for the video!

I've had the WTFOS installed on my V2s and they are rooted, can I use the V2s with the Caddix Vista air units if I had to update the DJI side to use my Avata? I did the update to the latest (Yesterday) and I was able to just put the WTFOS and packages back on the DIY side and all seems good.

Do I even need the DJI remote or can I just run V2s with the vista/ air unit light and my Radio Master controller? I just bought the Night Eagle HD and would like to use it with the goggles V2.

in my experience the v2s have better range with vista and air unit when i update firmware to bind vista/air unit with goggles 2 the range is far less but googles 2 with 03 has great range

I just purchased a drone with the RunCam Link Wasp. Is it still so that I will have to activate it via the old DJI Assistant 2 (FPV Series)? Then I can upgrade to the latest firmware with the Consumer Drone Series? I am using Integra goggles.

Great useful stuff! But I have a problem. My V2 Goggles are stuck in HD Air Unit mode with no option on the Settings/Device menus to switch back and forth between modes. I can still fly all of my digital quads, but I can’t get to FPV mode to update the firmware so I can bind to my brand new 03 air unit. Got a fix or any ideas. Much appreciated.

wish i had seen this a few weeks ago. got an O3 at a killer price and decided to install it into a new 7" build, finding out this binding issue now =/ luckily the O3 in my build is very easily accessible to rebind each time if/when i go fly it...ill take the WTF hack for now...BUT if this was in a different quad where it wasnt an easy push of the button id def have even more bitter "feels" =/

👏👏👏 Loud and clear! Thank you Ian! ♥ ¶ : - )

Thanks for this clarification, Ian. This video should come from DJI, but that won't be a DJI thing.😂😂

I’ve got a question.. i’ve updated the goggles 2 and my Dji transmitter 2 to the latest firmware versions. The goggles and the transmitter are binding to the O2 Vista unit that has also been upgraded to the latest version. Everything works, except for the transmitter is not seen in beta flight at all, and it will not arm the drone.. What am I missing??

@MadRC hi, a couple of friends all fly with latest Googles and remote 2, some have no problem, 3 have random rx loss followed by failsafe at just a couple of meters away. Do you have any idea why this could be happening ? All using latest firmware. Tjs

Good day mate I can get my remote to work on the latest firmware but not goggles if I upload if I upload the 0608 firmware the goggles work but not the controller. Can ya help me out? Thanks. Mark

But the FCC 1200mw mode is only allowed by the location where your goggles is, the firmware will be update when u move to another country and follow the local law(for E.X: China Mainland is SRRC 700mw)

Any update on the binding issue yet? No good fix yet?

My 03 air unit walnt even go into bind mode when I hit the button. Any thoughts?

Hi Great video. Thank you! I have V2 googles and several vistas with the fcc hack. I did not root the googles but i will do now. I wait for Ifligh AOS 6s with 03 air unit I wonder in my case how should i proceed with the fcc, root and the new 03 I will need max power to all of my guads and if i switch from vista to 03 and lose every hack it will be really annoying What can you recomend me how should i proceed

What firmware version i need on v2 goggles to bind in vista air unit? Thanks

My O3 won't bind to my V2 goggles but they did before, I haven't changed anything like firmware or crashed. Any suggestions?

@Mads Tech, did you say that the goggles is compatible with the DJI Avata at 4:30?

How about the antenna situation with the goggles 2 (linear antenna) so I thought it is just perfect with the o3 antenna. So if we use the vista or the Air Unit then we have worse signal then in the goggles v2 because antenna mismatch right? Can we use a o3 antenna on the vista(?i just wonder which one of the both ufl connectors to connect) because I need my vistas still vor long range and don’t want to have negative sideeffects when using the DJI goggles 2 (switched to goggles 2 because of OSD recording mainly)

Not sure really where to start with all this crap but I’m going to try I have dji v2 goggles caddx vista nebula pro for the camera set up so the other day had an issue with the camera sent it back. They gave me a brand new one same camera and transmitter you would think you put it back in the aircraft and bind it to the goggles and you’re good to go, but with me not so good with computers I wish I would’ve left the same firmwear in my goggles, but I didn’t while I was waiting for the camera to come into the mail. I downloaded the latest firmware to the goggles, which is the beginning to all of my problems and frustrations. when I first hooked everything up, I did get the camera and the goggles to bind and I video but the goggles was not recording I had it set up in the goggles so when you first turned it on it started to record so it wasn’t doing that. so you get out and you watch all of these videos such as yours and realize certain firmware in the goggles won’t work with this camera. Long story short now I have no video nothing power to the camera no problem green light comes on and that’s it. The firmware that you mentioned in this video I do not see it on my computer when I go to that website either one of them. (Fpv series.) or ( consumer drone series) I heard something about a new update for DJI assist. Not sure what that’s all about but right now I don’t know which way to turn. I tried DJI support and that was such a freaking joke. Maybe you know what direction I need to go in to get this matter resolved. I really would appreciate some help, thanks Steve

how do i get the old firmware

They needa fix the bind loss issue for V2’s and switching between O3/Vista!

Is there a fpv goggle that is compatible with ALL the different HD camera/transmitter units?

So you're saying that I must use the 03 air unit since I have the goggles v2 and controller 2. What a PITA.

Does the O3 also have the stop record - slow SD issue?

Maybe i missed it, but.. If i upgrade a vista to the latest “O3” firmware, could i use it on the v2 goggles in O3 mode? Then you don’t need to switch modes and lose your bind every time you go from a O3 to a vista or the Avata.

OK. I had my DJI Goggles V2 Bound to Protek25 Cadxx Vista V01.00.608. Then I upgraded Goggles V2 to latest firmware so I can bind to Avata. Now I cannot re-bind to Protek25. What firmware version of Goggles V2 do I need to be able to connect both to Caddx Vista and New DJI 03 AIR unit?

O have a question about my DJI FPV goggle V2 with 03 system. Cuz I'm showing it's at 30 to 33 Mbps instead of 50.8 mbps, what can i do to get 50.8 mbps back?? My dual antenna is in very good condition, nothing wrong with antenna, i have checked the antennas 3 times, but nothing wrong with antennas, i don't get it why I'm showing the 30 to 33 Mbps instead of 50.8 Mbps. Can you help me, please, Ian?? Cuz i have tried asked other drone FPV pilots like Nick Burns and he have no clue why I'm showing 30 to 33 Mbps on DJI FPV goggle V2 with 03 HD system and it's driving me crazy to see 30 to 33 Mbps. But when i switched back to Vista and original Air Unit system, they are showing me perfectly at 50.8 mbps. I don't get it, can you please help, Ian?? This is driving me crazy 🤯.... Could it be from firmware bug???

Any update on this?

I just got my integra goggles. Tried to bind with my DJI FPV drone but no luck. Switched over to fpv air unit in setting but still not connecting.

wtfos hack, it is now also usable with the new firmware on the v2 Google or am i not allowed to change it?

Work the goggles 2 with the potato?

There is no DJI assistant 2 on the App Store. Am i missing something?

Why do you call it DYI mode, that's not a mode I see in the goggles?

Simply put : just upgrade all your quads to O³ and Goggle 2 / Integra 😅

I carry a paper clip with me to be able to bind the different transmitters.

DJI should be paying this man...

How can connect goggles v2 to mini pro 4 ? Is it possible guys ?

It seems like DJI is phasing out the dji fpv assistant.

No OSD version firmware air unit v01 00 0608 wtfos

“Why cant we all get along”

I can't even downgrade firmware :( I got totally sucked into the dji avata system and now I can use the controller with older units! wtf

now watch this video again and pretend that you don't know what any of this means... 😂 sounds like version & compatibility hell

It is a mess intended to force you to buy the new one

Because DJI decided to NOT make their FPV gear compatible..... I ran away from DJI.

What a mess

DJI hate us

jfc dji! wtf!...

If you ever wondered if DJI was for making a dollar, giving a damn or making a difference we have our answer. As they continue adding more incompatible crap, this stinks when you spend all day working on something you think you did wrong that was simply a result of piss poor planning by a corporation. They should have let the hobby develop organically with time developed support if they were not gonna at least add consistency along the way. Sell the branch off to the hobbyists!! I'm sure you have enough other stuff in development.

First one :D

This is terrible! why is the controller 2 compatible with the caddx.. but ONLY if you have the goggles 2 and not the goggles v2? My brain is not compatible to this logic!

wtf, DJI are you healthy in your head

4 minutes in and im lost as can be... I would need u to not throw so much shit at us all... if u do this then that. but if u don't then this will happen but only under the conditions of 000 being 0010 and 01010 to 001 and with the change to 000110 nothing will work and 000.1 now we are fractional and infinity and beyond!

F DJI I sell my stuff for cheap!

Screw dji
