Buzzards on the Road You can see just fine but the drone loses signal with your remote and stops in place and Then regains spotty signal until you get it back closer. Scary though that it never triggered RTH which now makes make me nervous to ever use the goggles even after they hopefully fix the issue.
I fly my mavic 2 pro with DJI goggles and I absolutely LOVE it. Rarely fly without it cuz I hate looking at small phone display especially with sunglare!! Can't wait till they re-introduce fixed-wing mode.
This is an old post I know. Hope you are still happy with your 2 pro. I have the RE Googles with the Air and want to upgrade. Can you tell me how you tap to foucs or focus in generel with the Googles with the 2 Pro? The Air has fixed focus and I still want to be able to both focus correctly and use the Googles :-)
@@thomaswindfeld728 I was very happy with it until I sold everything couple months ago because I got fed up of all the new govt regulations. As soon as they get the mavic mini ( less than the 250g govt regs unaffected) to work with some fpv goggles I will buy again. To answer your question as I recall you just tap on the side of the goggles to focus, but I rarely needed to do it.
@@vracan Ahh. Tapping the side of the Google will focus. Makes sense. Cant find the info anywhere and havent upgraded to it yet so couldnt test. Thanx for you time and answer. Hope you get flying soon again:-)
You have to the controller connected to the drone before you bind the goggles. The Sdcard slot on the original goggles doesn't record from the goggles, it only lets you play back videos from the drone IF NO HIGHER RESOLUTION than 1080p/30fps. It can't play 2.7k or 4k. It also changes the resolution on the drone itself. If you want the drone to stay 4k, you have to use your phone/ tablet to change the video settings back to what you want.
FYI - when you link the old white goggles you are limited to 2.4 even between your controller and the aircraft. I found it much easier just to plug the goggles straight into the Smat Controller HDMI if you have one then you will still have 5.8 and 2.4.
I agree with John Tarvin - I am undecided whether I should get a set because I want to see what you are seeing - is there anyway you can get a camera inside or a cellphone in under a black hood in behind the googles to show us what it looks like?
Hi Kelly, very nice to here that DJI update their softball so their goggles are now useable with the Mavic 2’s! I have a friend that was very upset when he bought his Mavic 2 and his original DNJ Goggles would not bind to the craft, I’m sure he’ll be must happier now. Thanks Kelly for this great update and review!
Thanks for the video! Update I hear the RE Version problem has been fixed. You need to ensure you have manufactured date after feb 19. So I would buy only March or after just be safe. All you previous version owners should be bitching to high heaven now.
have the black ones. have tried twice to use them. both times it has disconnected from my zoom leaving me wondering where it was till i found it by line of site again. also seemed a tad blurry compared to using just my phone. i need to try them more. do you know if you can screen capture what the goggles see?
I wear glasses and the Goggles RE work with my reading glasses but I ordered DJI lens, they work, kind of, my prescription has my left eye off by .25 but DJI lens only step at .50, meaning my left eye is a bit blurry. I ordered a set of lens from Germany that match my prescription.
Great video Kelly. I kinda wish I had the both Mavic 2 Zoom and the goggles. Thanks for letting everybody know that it does work. I wish I had more time to watch everyone’s videos, but I’m barely keeping up with my week days Vlogging lol. Thanks for sharing. Also not sure if I thanked you already but thanks again for your part in Jim Hightower’s video y’all did for me. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😉
Just after wearing the RE's you stated there was a slight difference in quality, I would assume you meant the RE was better, but which quality was better was not actually identified.
I actually didn’t mean a difference between the goggles. I meant a difference in the settings 1080 vs 720. Goggles are almost identical flying experience.
Agree with all who said 'Show us what you see on the Goggles!' Nice video overall👍 *Disclaimer* - when flying a drone with Goggles always.. always.. have a 'Spotter' by your side! #DroneSafetyFirst
Dji told me the white goggles are ocusync 1 and the black ones are ocusync 2. That must not be the case if they work with the mavic 2 zoom because i read that it has the new ocusync 2.
Nice, Kelly! I didn't realize RE goggles were occusync compatible! I passed up a really nice deal because of that. 😏 Haven't had my first goggle experience with a drone; I'm often tempted to splurge, and someday I probably will. You've opened my eyes to other possibilities. Like the multiple-goggle situation could be really sweet. So much to consider! Thanks!
Thanks for the vid. I know you can't get a camera inside to show the eyeball view, but I wasn't sure about whether I could link my RE Goggles to my M2P. Glad you walked through this.
I have been told by DJI that you don't need to use the antenna on the RE goggles when using the Mavic Pro. The antenna is only for 5.8 mHZ racing drones.
Fun video, will definitely try out my RE Googles with my M2P later this year (haven´t got one yet 😳). Love flying with the googles on the original, such a great experience! What I missing in this video...with the new Mavic 2 and all. Headtrack comparison between the white and RE-googles? Hearing stuff that there is a limitation on gimbal movement on the white ones? That aside thanks for the video and thumbs up from Sweden
I just had problems with my goggles on the second time using,. I took them back to the DJI store and the head band was not completely connected with the goggles. Make sure you hear the "click" and then try pull them apart or the goggles will not work.
When you install the DJI Assistant 2 (v1.2.5), you have to log into your DJI account before the program will be able to show the firmware choices or upgrade. That was a sticking point for me until DJI support on Messenger asked if I was logged in or not. Duh?
Got a platinum that came with white goggles. Think I will keep them. Hoping dji comes out with a see thru design like the epson moviero for wayyyyy less coin Thx for video
If you have poor eyesight and usually need them for reading, can you wear glasses inside the headset to view at such a close distance? Or do you need extra lenses fitted to help with poor eyesight.
thank you for your demo, even DJI showed it connected to a phone, which I didn't think you needed to do. Mine are arriving in a few days, DJI knocked 100 off the price. I've always flown with Gyphs through a Nvidia Shield, curios how these look, thanks for posting!
I don’t know if you get this .. So I have Mavic PRO (three of them) I have both WHITE AND RED GOGGLES I AM NOW INTO THE DJI FPV SYSTEM QUESTION. WHAT WORKS WITH WHAT ?/ Really a shame all the stuff is not compatible ..such amazing stuff ...
Great job, and great informative videos- I wish I could do that, but I can never stop joking around! We’re trying to set up The Lovely Denise to shoot some of our RC videos with a Mavic zoom and head tracking goggles, and you’ve been a big help- thanks! BTW- where are you located? Please tell me you’re near New York!
I have the normal googles but was looking at the RE googles. If I already have the normal white dji goggles, is there any reason for me to upgrade to the racing edition dji goggles? any benefits? Or am I just wasting money getting nearly the same set but with analog and a little less latency? if you had to do it again, would you end up with both the normal white dji goggles and the dji RE goggles? (btw - I fly a mavic pro (original version) and spark when flying AP drones.
Be aware that the mavic 2 will be permanently stuck in 2.4GHz transmission band width once the original white DJI goggles have been bound. That means the ocusync signal strength from the goggles AND transmitter will be limited to 2.4GHz until the controller is re-linked with the mavic 2. This isn't an issue with the RE goggles which utilize the dual band protocol.
Did a little research after watching this. The goggles are on sale so naturally I bought them...and a mavic 2 zoom with the fly more combo. You should get a commission from DJI.
Racing addition causes very short range on the mavic zoom. Looses connection to drone then turning off RE goggles and it regains connection .DJI is not admitting the problem but its happening. Just noticed someone already posted about the issue.
Hello all, if you arent aware yet, as I dont see much mention of it, but theres a definate issue with the RF Range of the Mavic 2 but only when the Goggles are connected... Im here as yet another M2/GOGGLES RE user that has these RANGE ISSUES. Mine cuts out at 1000ft precisely! Ive been scouring the net for any news and different app/fw versions. Ive tried 4 different apk builds of v4.3.0 on my S8Note, and sideloaded Tablet, with some minor changes. Ive also tried the newer v4.3.2 app, but that was worse. Ive upgraded and downgraded, mixed and matched, RC, AC and Goggle firmwares with other App versions, all with no luck UNTIL A FEW DAYS AGO. (Please note that this may not work for you, but I hope it will!). So, Ive found a v4.3.0 (840-official) apk (not thru googleplay) that works well with the following latest fw's: AC & RC: 01.00.0100, Goggles RE: 1.0.7.0. As I mentioned, I was always losing signal at 1000ft before this combo was found, but I made a 2 MILE FLIGHT WITH GOGGLES RE with zero signal loss! Thats plenty good for me! While I 'think' Ive cured my issue, Im still going to pummel DJI with annoying emails weekly, as we all should, especially since the newest fw/app releases made it seem worse. Thats BS... Hope this helps some of you!!! Note: all of my testing was done over open water and when goggles were not connected, the range was great. The change was drastically evident even in mid-flight when turning the goggles off, signal would immediately come back strong. One last note, I made sure that interference was nil, in this test location, as well.
@@dropkickdrones4569 Hi, yes so here's the URL where I posted this 'possible' fix on DJI Forums. forum.dji.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=166775&extra=&page=5 The URL link for the Android v4.3.0 (840) apk build is in post #65. Apologies for the hoops that you have to jump thru to finslly get the apk download. For anyone else, Im not sure if the above youtube comment is the exact same or less detailed than my DJI forum post, but if your interested to find out, its post #17. I sincerely hope that this helps someone else as Ive tried the newest FW (.200 for AC & RC) with the newest droid app (v4.3.4 - 689official) build) and DJI HAS STILL NOT FIXED THIS ISSUE :(
Did the range issues ever get worked out between the goggles and the Mavic 2 drones? I have a M2Z and was thinking about getting the white goggles. But might not if there are range issues..?
CxB FPV Don’t buy em unless you want to be disappointed. At least until they work out the issues which they are not willing to admit exists. 600 to 700 ft range in my neighborhood while using goggles. Land and turn off goggles and I have flown almost a mile with zero issues. Customer support act like they have never heard of such a problem. Blah blah blah, yah okay
Can you also connect your phone at the same time? Just to be sure just incase signal gets lost on the goggles. Like a back up. Whats the differecne between these two goggles?
Is there any difference between the 2? Other than one is geared for racing? And so you think these would have better resolution/performance over Fat Shark? Nice video. Waiting to hear back before I order. Thank u
It was my understanding that the 2 Pro had a setting that would NOT allow it to come too close to you potentially injuring a person. Did you have that disabled? I don't consider that much of an option. I feel it's security is a huge factor of having this product.
$849 is not relatively inexpensive. I was also hoping you would somehow link it so we could see what you see. Can that be done? Thanks again for sharing.👍😎
Have tried pairing the racing edition goggles to a pure racing drone. I was wondering how they performed, compared to standard racing goggles such as Fatsharks.
I'm about to buy the Mavic 2 Pro with the RE Goggles. Can I use two goggles simultaneously? One RE and one white? Or I need to purchase the Mavic Pro instead and use two white goggles. The ability to use two goggles is a decision making for me. Thanks to all who reply.
I'm thinking about ordering a Mavic Zoom. I'm also considering whether or not to purchase the goggles. The problem being is that I was the youngest person in California to have had cataract surgery some 30 odd yrs ago. Although I can now 'see' quite well, the diopter implants left me with no ability to 'focus' on what I'm looking at. Do you happen to know or where I can find out if I can effectively use these goggles? The sad thing is that where I live, no one has a pair set up that I can try. Any knowledge along this line would be much appreciated. Thx.
Thanks for the video.... I would like to get a pair for my M2Z... Which do you recommend? The Racing Edition or the original? Seems like they're both pretty much the same except for maybe more options with the Racing Edition with respect to other drones?? Not sure.... can you control the camera by turning your head when you're using the goggles? Can a second person wearing the goggles do that if your using your phone also to view?? Thanks in advance for your response...
Hey Kelly, do you know if the RE's are better for the Mavic 2 series? If i use the white goggles it locks my RC frequency to 2.4 (ocusync 1) even if I don't use the googles and that shortens my range quite a bit. I'm wondering if I upgraded to the RE goggles if it will allow the auto switching dual frequency (2.4 & 5.8 ocusync 2) Thanks!!
Is it possible to use the original goggles with the mavic air 2S fly more setup. I see you using the mavic 2 pro, etc. Appreciate your lead in checking uses with the mavic 3 as well as the mavic air 2 drones. Just want to be certain before purchasing the original goggles. Keep the contributions coming, very helpful RWA
Hi, Kelly, great video. My M2P and Goggles RE bundle are coming Monday. Could you please clarify, when you say “power up the phone first , then the goggles, that fixes the range issue”, does that mean you can fly far and keep connection with the goggles as well as the remote?
Did the range issues ever get worked out between the goggles and the Mavic 2 drones? I have a M2Z and was thinking about getting the white goggles. But might not if there are range issues..? Can someone comment?
Enjoyed your video Kelly ! I take it there is no way to see what you’re seeing in the goggles other than the video from the camera correct ? That would be a incredible feature to have.
Unfortunately, there is not a good way to record what the goggles see - especially when you are wearing them. Agreed that a built in DVR that records the screen would be very cool to have! Thanks for watching!
@@readysetdrone That's what I thought Kelly. From DJIs perspective I think they could greatly increase goggle sales if they had that feature. Thank you again for the video !
Can you use Fat Shark Goggles with a Mavic 2 Pro? These DJI Goggles look like they would be big and bulky to wear. I haven't seen any other Goggles used with the M2P except for the Epsom Glasses. What other options are available?
I have the RE goggles and the Mavic 2 - I cant seem to ever get more than 300-400ft away from myself. It just disconnects - its not in beginner mode just seems the range is very short? I have it updated with the latest firmware, any ideas? Please Help DJI tech support is HORRIBLE!
I enjoyed your review of the goggles. The question, I have the Mavic Pro. I can take pictures and video from the drone with no issues. When I take the SD card out of the drone and put it in the goggles to playback, I see pictures but it will not play the video back. Do I have the wrong setup on the drone? Also, how do you take video and pictures from the goggles SD card ?
Has anyone noticed a degrade in image quality with the white dji goggles connected to the mavic 2 zoom vs the imagine quality of the white goggles with the mavic pro platinum?
excellent video !! can you please tell me if my sole purpose would be using the googles with dji Mavic 2 pro, is it the same to buy RE edition than the white one edition in terms of specs? thanks so much in advance
This is an old video I know. Hope you can answer a question for me. I have the RE Googles with the Air and want to upgrade the drone. Can you tell me how you tap to foucs or focus in generel with the Googles with the 2 Pro? You cant really tap to focus or? The Air has fixed focus, so easy peacy. I still want to be able to both focus correctly and use the Googles :-)
Just fly in a wide open space first until you get use to them. I highly recommend being in a chair or sitting on the ground cause you can get dizzy at first. I have a pair of the racing goggles and they're amazing. And I love using them to watch movies with the laptop. Makes it look very close to being in the movie theater
Hi great video, could you bind both at the same time and let us know how you get on. I was wondering if it was possible . I know it's possible to bind 2 pairs but not sure if it is capable of doing the old and new together especially with the new mavic 2
Very good review!! Is it possible to make the gimbal movements more smother using the headtracking with the RE version? Changed gimbal expo´s works also if used with the googles? I want to use the smartcontroller for me as the pilot and the googles for a cameraman moving the gimbal. Thanks!
