Really appreciate the honest hobbyist review Andy. As an original V1 owner I kind of read between the lines and bought a like new set of V2’s for half their original price. Covering at least all my current air units and hopefully the upcoming 03. Keep up the great honest reviews mate.

These are my first fpv goggles and I have to say that the form factor is very important to me. Being able to carry it around easily means it's way more likely that I'll at least go out and fly a bit. I found that for me, convenience is king!!!

As always Andy, you get to the nub of the matter and independently point out those annoying details about products that others ignore or gloss over. And I agree, these major manufacturers will always stop communicating with reviewers if there is any hint of negativity - as I found out to my own cost. Keep up the great work.

I’m so happy to have Apple-certified ears for AirPods and DJI-certified face for these goggles. They are an absolute perfect fit for me

I love how in depth and technical this is. Thanks for sharing your insights.

Thanks Andy for your truth and genuine love for this hobby!

As Always, a concise review with personal thoughts and information abundant! Your channel has always been the Best Reviews!

I have seen your RCG and YT since the Hubsan. You have always be true to how things are you are probably the only one I actually truly trust for information. And I really don't trust anyone before I have see it myself and tested it. Many thank you 🙏 😊 Alf

Thank you Andy for the excellent info!

thanks as always for your time and discussion!

Thanks Andy! Just upgraded from analogue to the old v2 goggles, now I feel justified for my choice.

Great review Andy. Thank you!

This is such a breath of fresh air. Everybody is hyping the avata and goggles 2 so much its really tough to understand whats hype and whos actually being honest. Thank you!!! liked and subscribed because of this.

I think people (including me) are feeling a bad case of FOMO but this video helps a LOT. if you have a system that works and you’re happy with it no need to spend extra money. There’ll always be something seemingly better than what you have.

Thanks Andy for the Heads-up!

Hello! very good your tutorial! My question is, using the v2 glasses, is the difference in what is seen in the glasses very noticeable? between old air unit (with dji camera) and o3. Considering old air unit in high quality mode and 50mbps. Regards !

Thanks Andy....glad to hear a honest review

Great video as always grateful for your efforts

Hi Andy, hope you're well great vid

Awesome review as always Andy. This is one of the first reviews I have seen that has told the negative of the goggles only the good. Keep up the honest reviews 👍

When adjusting these new goggles I am reminded that I have a dominant eye. Not so much in the old goggles. This tends to happen on smaller goggles where the optics are pushed past the limit. I wish they where more like HDO2 optics (perfect for me). Hopefully there will be better foam released.

Yesterday I got to fly the avata for the first time, it was in the evening. I was pretty in love with the quad itself. Now as for the goggles I share similar problems but not as severe? The display was set to 90% and at the time -- I didn't know you could change it. The corners aren't blocked, the lower right corner is a little blurry for me. 100% display scale however is no good at all. If I wanted it to be "perfect" for the image, I would probably need to drop it to 80% and get it further to the center. Lame. I have a much bigger issue with them pushing down on my nose, which I figured could be solved with a little thicker foam. I just tried pulling them away from my face a little bit as a test to see where my nose would be more comfortable, which of course puts my eyes further away from the optics, and surprise surprise, at 90%... the sides and especially the lower right corner for me gets significantly worse (this is after fine tuning each eye holding it this way also). I'm disappointed now having noticed this. Also the corners are not blurred, but definitely dark, this was easier to notice today in better light conditions. -_- It is really annoying. (sorry for posting this twice? i was editing it and youtube somehow nuked it...)

Hi Andy. Thank you for the video! Do the Goggles V2 have a similar penetration or distance reach than the Goggle 2 (the new ones) in the case we were in the US?.

Wonder how it will be if the new air unit can do 4:3 aspect, if it makes this edge problem any better. Definitely seems like the OSD elements need to be movable, more into center screen.

Reviews you can trust. Thanks Andy.

Thanks! Finally a realistic and honest review 👍

Thank you. Genuinely. Saved me a small fortune.

Sticking with my v2’s, that’s why I ordered the drone only pack (didn’t see the need to overspend). Do you reckon good old B3YOND will get something sorted soon?

Great user experience review. Thank you very much

You got it !! I'm having the same issues, nose crushing, blur of bottom image that disappear a bit if i keep goggles far from face, may be the foam (waiting to be available, as well as the rc) will help.True review....if no air unit compatibility, i guess i 'll sell everything and go with fatshark or another goggle brand.

Kudos Andy. Your honest opinion is highly valued. Keep on keeping on Brother.

Thanks for the honest review!

Finally an true honest and very detailed review of the actual goggles! Thank you...Thank you...Thank you!!

Thank you for an honest review 👌

In conclusion do you recommend getting the avata combo with the v2 googles vs tje googles 2??

I have the same problem with the blurred edges with my CobraX. John Cuppi has a review of the DJI goggles where he also mentiones the same kind of problem with the DJI goggle as you are experiencing

i am verry happy with my v2 and my first air unit from when i started learning still works. i have 2 working air units so im good, dji just doesnt want our money right now

Nice video! Do you have edges in the Goggles and and blurring with narrow IPD fully inwards? My eyes IPD is 58 mm.

thank you for your review you always give good ones love to here your side first. please keep up the great work.

Great review, you’re good at what you do!! Keeping it true! 👊

The more that comes out about this the more Walkfail becomes more appealing. Awesome honest review dude.

Nice review. Thank you

Excellent video thanks

Thanks Andy, I was waiting for your review before even considering buying the Avata. My DJI FPV drone flys excellent and I get clear edge to edge video in my V2 goggles. :)

Great video Andy

Solid review - thanks mate.

Thanks man

Danke!

Thanks

as usual great honest review great work Andy cheers 😁😁😁

Exact same issues with May not being able to focus to goggles. Also the clipped in pad is half disconnected from mine

I have the original V1s and original air units. No complaints. I won't be changing.

great stuff, the old caveat applies though, everybodys face is different, took me a while to get the v2's to be comfy and avoid pulling my lower eyelids down. some wear in is to be expected, how they sit on the nose is probably the critical area, the nose should take the bulk of the weight but fairly high up like glasses do.

I love the DJI Googles 2. I haven't experienced any of the blurred screen. I see a perfect screen at 100%

Wow. Guess I'm lucky. The goggles 2 fit me great, no light leak and I'm not getting any of that black around the edges. My IPD is just about centered. And I no longer need to wear glasses now that I can just focus each side. Thus far I'm thrilled with them. I've been flying low around trees with no breakup either. Well, sounds like I got lucky because I'm loving this setup.

My goggles V2 is a keeper for its future compatibility

Awesome Review! Thanks for sharing your experience & knowledge. It's important to know all about the new Goggles v2. I have the Dji FPV Goggles v2, with v01.00.06.06, update.

Is the blurriness and vignetting at the edges worsened the wider your ipd? My ipd is 71mm but the v2s only go to 70mm.. the goggles 2 go to 72mm.. trying to decide between the v2s and goggles 2 when I purchase my avata imminently..

Lol you‘re the goat, I was gonna buy the expensive kit just to get the goggles 2 now not so much anymore

He's back everyone! Nice review Andy !

oh man I was looking if a youtuber tell the truth about the same problem that I have with my DJI Google 2 with bluring edge and vignette! and here you go I fund you....thank you so much advise to everyone to looking to buy the google 2 , I will wait to have DJI fix this ...stay with the V2

I'll stick with my V2 goggles. I got the better foam, got a little square of pluck foam and slowly but surely plucked tiny pieces away until it's gets rid of ALL of the light leak around my nose. That newest foam makes the V2's fit perfect, and I got a Fat Strap to replace that over the head strap. I honestly thought that worked pretty good, except when you wanted to pull the goggles up and have them sit on the top of your forehead. WRONG! The Fat Strap works soooooo much better it's not even close and they have dozens of patterns, so something for everyone! Comfort is AmaZing! I also ordered prescription lenses from RHO-Lens in Germany and OH MY GOD! My V2's are ULTRA CRYSTAL CLEAR! From one side of the screen to the other! P E R F E C T ! What a great value those lenses were! No having to fidget with my glasses to get them in and out of the goggles. And, so much clearer! So, get the new foam, get a 2" x 2" piece of foam and trim it ever so slowly for perfect nose fit. Get a Fat Strap and be amazed at how great it works! And if you wear glasses, get RHO - Lens to make you custom lenses to your prescription! Mine V2's can't get any better! Seriously, they are incredible! 😎🤘 PS....add the URUAV analog adapter and the V3 metal case ($29 for the pair) and have analog on or off in 3 seconds! Solid as a rock, works with any analog module, and it doesn't stick out a mile like the BD one Andy had on his goggles. Because of that, I was able to add the very thin and stealth iFlight Crystal antenna array to my V2's and that made analog and digital PURE PERFECTION!

For me dji goggles 2 work just fine and im sticking with them. the question is how do i get a live video stream out of them? there are boradcasting option, which has zero documentation. will yo be the person to figure that out?

Thanks!

For me, one eye can see the corners, so since the other eye can't you get that slightly fuzzy corner. Also, I tend to want to kick the bottom of the goggles outwards to get the bottom text to not be fuzzy. But this happens with my v1 goggles also. With the original v1 goggles foam, I could see clearly, but they didn't feel good and the light leaks. The new soft foam gave me fuzzy edges, so I cut it down a lot in certain places to fit my face. Unfortunately, this Goggles 2 foam is already quite thin, so like you said, the vegnetting probably won't get any better. Except for me, I can probably just add spacers on the cheeks and cure the fuzzy OSD and nose crimp at the same time. Hopefully,... But I'm still pretty stocked about them. I put a high value on resolution, and these are awesome to me while flying. It's just the menu focus, and fogging that really irritate me. Maybe when there's more airflow around the nose, there will be less fogging.

I have not had that rounded corner issue with my goggles 2, I can see the whole screen. I will admit that the OSD data (words) are a bit blurred but not as bad as you are showing here. I have found that for me, if I move the goggles down just a fraction on my nose, the blur goes away for the most part, but then there is an issue with it hurting my nose lol. Great video and information though. Thank you!

Drone-Hacks already released CE Mode to FCC Mode for the Avata.

It seems like you're using the foveated mode, where resolution is larger at the center and lower at the edges. I guess it can be disabled.

Fortunately with the WTFOS on the v1/v2 goggles we already got a canvas OSD! So I hope there is still features to unlock that we can expect. More service life for the goggles I already own. ;)

Best review of the goggles 2 on the web! This can save a lot of folks a lot of money...

Hi, great review 👍

They work funnily for me quite well, but I have a very large ipd - so maybe that helps… and my eyes seem to be quite near to the lenses… thank you for your great work Andy!

what rates are you using on the Avata and DJI FPV Racer?

I agree but try to wear those googles as short as possible. Does anybody notice how fast your head heats up using those for a short time ?? Is it the strong signal / antennas so close to your head ??

thank you for speaking the truth! Somehow everyone else have there necks too deep stuck in the hype

Good stuff Andy yeah keep it real 👍

Can use Modded DJI Fly FCC App. I am using it for M3P and now Avata with transmitter power of 30dB on both 2.4 and 5.8Ghz. And developer updates fly app regularly latest being v. 1.7.4. Just need to connect goggles to mobile device running this app and forces FCC and range issue solved.

I haven’t been able to use the v1 or v2 dji goggles due to them not fitting my head (can fit my hand between my nose and goggles while wearing) these new ones might have a chance of working for me, I’ll have to try some.

I wonder how new the Fat shark Dominator HD goggles will stack up to these 🤔

Welp. Gonna stick with my v1s and v2 until a goggles 2 v2 comes out.

As usual, in FPV, we wait for the better iteration. I always believe in buying things after they matured, like the DJI Goggles V2. Goggles 2 promises better penetration like in Nurk's review, and that is without any aftermarket patch/stubby

I’m wondering if I should trade for v2 goggles. I ordered RHO lenses for the Goggles 2 and still waiting.

Great video Andy. Like button enabled too...👍🏻🍻👊🏻

The blury issue, i have in every google in the old v2 i have it too, not as big but it is there...

I have gogle v2. But I will not use it with avata, because of problem after upgrading fw to be compatibile with the new drone. Now I have 1.00.0600 fw with FC hack (700 mW). After upgrading, hack will doesnt work :/

Great freaking video

Thank you! This information was truly needed. I was on the edge to buy Avata kit. It seems quite clear that this has no use in my gear as EU citizen. I won't be getting any of those awesome features regarding about transmission strength. I must be minority as i truly like the dji FPV goggles V1 and V2 size and form (updated foam, sling and antennas of course).

In summary, at least for me, this system is a pass. Looking forward to seeing your thoughts on the upcoming Hdzero goggles. DJI has lost me on no backward compatibility.

Goggles 2 fitting Perfect for me! Wait for foam and Test it again!!! 👌

Andy, did you attempt to bind to the Avata with the full size DJI RC transmitter? Im thinking its not bc original DJI FPV wouldnt bind to the full size DJI transmitter

THANK YOU! Finally, someone being honest about this. My biggest issue is that I haven't been able to get them in focus no matter what I've done. I don't have glasses and don't usually have eye issues. But trying to run the simulator with these goggles on was a constant battle to keep things in focus. Not to mention everything else you've said. Pretty disappointed and I don't know if I'd just be better off buying the flysmart combo with the old goggles.

So I have the mini 2. Also loads of FPV quads. If I want this do I need to buy it with a controller?. I'm not sure about that motion stick thing it comes with

Whoah, this was eye-opening (no pun intended). As a person with a freakishly wide IPD situation, your review is a life saver. And I also relish in knowing that you, one of my favorite FPV people in all of RU-vid, appear to also be like me (I do not know a lot of people with a wide IPD) like us. So there is that. Thank you for offering such an in-depth perspective on the optics and the real-world image perception of these new Goggles. Definitely sounds like it's not for me.

Those goggles are definitely too flat on me as well.

i just got my goggles 2 i got to say i do love them a lot. but you are spot on in this review. for me what im looking at when im flying is perfect. i do understand that this may bother some people but for me they are 90% perfect lol if they become backwords compatible with the old system id say they be 100% for me. buying new goggles sucks because you can not just go into a store try them on and see if they fit you. i will say the new goggles are half as big as i thought they would be lol

Drone tweaks do a modified DJI Fly app which is FCC which works with Mavic 3 , Mini 3 pro etc and I have heard from developer of that that users using it with Avata are getting it into FCC

Thank you Andy! It's great to have a honest review on this. I'm really glad I haven't invested anything in DJI beside cinematic drones. Really saving my money for Hdzero coming. I think it's gonna be really good! Although seeing this new foxeer reaper vtx just may keep me analog! Looks awesome

So I guess you will send it back ;) Thanks for the honest review. Good contrast to all the influencers DJI selects to get good sales. Had no idea that the goggles are that bad of a fit. Let's just hope the DJI FPV v2 goggles (the older) are well supported by o3 airunits then. I found the image quality between vista and DJI FPV Racer quite noticeable - and for me it was the only real benefit of the potatoe ;) Greets, Mario

how do you know its 25mw output?
