DJI FPV Wiring Guide - How to connect to Betaflight

[@drib2896]

IMPORTANT NOTE: After more long-term testing, I do NOT recommend this flight controller for use with the DJI system because the 9V regulator is not a sufficient power source. While it worked for me on this one board (which is why I used it for this video) many others have reported the DJI system cutting out due to insufficient power. I recommend using the Hobbywing flight controller. The connections shown in this video still apply, just use a FC with a more reliable power supply.

[@bohan9957]

Does this apply to the V2 JB F4 board? I thought they improved the robustness of the 9V regulator in the V2.

[@dreden2000]

@@bohan9957 you can wire it to the VCC on JBV2. This comment is super late but I see nobody has answered you hahaha

You are the man for pumping this out so quickly! I’m already sold 100% but you’re excitement is singlehandedly going to blow sales up!

[@williamkimball3782]

DRIB, Love the video and I appreciate the stoke for this product. I am completely disappointed by all the hate for DJI HD system from our fellow FPVers. This is absolutely huge for the hobby regardless who is making the product. I have been waiting for HD since day ONE, and its finally here :0) Thanks again BRO !!!

[@charmande80]

Concur. There's a lot of misinformation about the system too in which I often refer them to this video about how you CAN use this with your own transmitter. People want to hate it because it's DJI but honestly healthy competition just breeds better products all around. System is by no means perfect but glad to see progression and then further competition.

[@markgiles8527]

I just can't understand why DJI releases products like this without an OSD. They did it with the ocusync and they've done it again here. I like to fly with a camera drone and I'd like an OSD. Do that and I might get it. Until then I'll keep using the awesome ezwifibroadcast system that costs a hell of a lot less and it ticks all the boxes for me. 😀

[@alanaerial4459]

Everytime i search for detailed video about an FPV product, Le Drib did a very good video on it ! Thanks a lot !!! Greeting from Switzerland

[@jessefpv4949]

I can see why you have more views, I'm thinking of switching to dji after 3 years of analog of starting fpv ..Only thing is price... time to bite the bullet. And this one video was helpful to understand. for newer folks like me switching from one to the other appreciate to all the video I've seen. And yours thanks brotha.

[@orionmec]

I so wish I would have seen this video at the beginning of my journey! Would have saved me a whole heap of frustration trying to get the answer!

How did I miss the drib 2 channel until now? No complaints more dribbling is great. ;)

And well done, this answers all the questions others left me wondering.

[@KreezeTV]

Thanks Drew. I'd been waiting for FatShark to come out with a new flagship so I could get an upgrade from my Aomways. When I saw this release yesterday I knew it was what I wanted. It'll be here on Tuesday and with the help of your video I'll be all set!

[@flywithafatguy5825]

This is exactly the video I've been looking for

[@djdubz]

love this idea. just saw fatshark has some HD coming too... Can't wait for your review of that system (FS Byte Frost)!

[@calabrese221]

Seriously do they? I've been hoping they would. where can I find the info on that? Not crazy about DJI wanting all our info just to turn on the goggles.

[@djdubz]

@@calabrese221 looks like it's a groundstation and they are working with hd-zero, but it appears it would allow you to use your own HDO's and TX. You'd have to buy the groudstation and their camera unit. I'm only going off the things I have seen, but they say they should have them in reviewers hands in a couple weeks, so I will stay tuned for now. DJI has set the bar high though with their package, but I will wait to see what FS has in store for us, before buying....

@@djdubz hello. I have no idea about FPV drones (just flown mavic pro). A couple questions: In your experience, 1) should I get the dji digital or wait for other systems?, 2) can you pair a mobile phone to dji goggles so another person sees what I see?, 3) would you recommend the dji transmitter/controller or get another brand? thank you!

[@BigAlFPV17]

Excellent tutorial Drew!!

[@GavDoG7]

Thanks for posting! This answered so many of my questions

[@janhamalainen513]

Thank you for your video! It helped me a lot in troubleshooting. I connected serial cable tx and rx wires so no osd at all. But thanks to you i found the problem!

[@Rcade365]

this video will help a lot of people im super glad you did one Rock On!

[@patsjoholm]

Getting BF OSD would be important to me. Glad to hear they have that coming soon.

[@dkieng]

Can you make another video on how to set up the switches like the Flight mode, Angle, Horizon, on the DJI RC controller? Thanks,

[@drib2896]

You set it up in Betaflight just like any other radio

[@fortunatofoto]

Hello guys. how do you enable the dji hdl protocol from betaflight? I can't use betaflight version 10.6 and firmware 4.1 on fc.ma nothing appears

[@richardgunter9944]

I'm having the same problem Fortunato trying to get battery power from the bird to show up in my DJI goggles .. Can't get the HDL protocol and I even tried the unofficial 10.6.0 and 4.1 that are listed in the unstable versions of betaflight for my FC and I'm using the same FC as Drew is in this video ..

[@AngryPepper1964]

Thanks drib, this is exactly the info. I was looking for.

[@invertedproductions7577]

While they are getting osd sorted let them know it needs to be compatible with inav as well, need to use it in a wing

[@hansturpyn5455]

its not realy a system for longer range as it is a bidirectional transceiver link. for long range you need a oneway link like "fpv blue"

[@Creation-mv2mv]

thanks bro, you helped me alot, but can you tell that what is the minimum and max voltage to be given

[@thebeardfpv162]

Very nice overview. Enjoyed this.

[@richardgunter9944]

I'm still having a problem trying to get battery voltage from the bird to display in the DJI goggles .. I've download BETAFlight 10.6.0 and I'm running 4.1.0 firmware on the bird.. there's still no DJI_HDL_7MS protocol listed in the RX dropdown menu and from my understanding you have to have that before it will work.

[@ALNDAddiction]

Same here, but my OSD works, my sbus doesn't work

[@camji9370]

Same with Matek CTR F405, maybe all chipsets/manufacturers are not ready atm.

[@TheCiardellas]

Thank you! This video actually helped Just needed to switch to sbus in betaflight to use the dji radio

[@Jacksquatch69]

The the 9V Regulated pad on that Bardwell board isn't enough. My Air unit was turning off and rebooting after hard flips/rolls. I wired mine direct to ESC +/- pads (vbatt) ( I'm on 4s ) and now it works fine.

[@kumardeepam]

My white and grey cables were connected incorrectly. This helped soldier it properly. Thank you.

[@wilderg88able]

Thanks drew! Finally someone explained in detail more about installing. How does the dji system work when flying alongside analog? Any interference either way? Id hate to fly with my friends and mess up their feed.

[@LarscoFPV]

I’m having an issue with my FPV system. 1) I can’t switch my power from 25mw to 700mw 2) my aircraft voltage and flight time do not show 3) I only have channel 1-3 and 8.

[@sl1dertheone]

Im having a similar problem............

[@LarscoFPV]

I believe 1 and 3 have to do with the system not thinking I’m in the United States. Other regions only allow 25mw and limited channels. Just don’t know how and where to change.

[@jackbisson9226]

Try this out it may do the trick. He talks about how to change it via a file on the micro SD card. kzbin.info/www/bejne/q2HIYaB4a6p4r7s

You have to unlock FCC mode with your micro SD.. there is a tutorial on YT :)

I hope they are going to include a connector with some decent silicone wire for the production models. That looks like the cheapest plastic coated wire you can buy. I noticed that in the closeups on the rotor riot video. The wire insulation looked like it melted.😪

[@emilianozapatta5978]

this DJI SYSTEM came out one year ago. The RE Black Goggles ! They have BOTH digital and analog built in ! Yes the goggles are huge. BUT the image quality is absolutely astounding. The "air unit" is twice this size. wiring and hookup is identical. use the "buddy trainer port" to get the Occusinc Range ! the goggles are excellent to connect to HDMI on the computer to watch Netflix youtube m etc … I have owned DJI for years and still fly Mavic Pro all the time. They have an excellent service center system. Will this system have a return to home (not just Betaflight RTH) ?

[@jdogflipper7997]

Emiliano Zapatta the RE black goggles were good but not good at all for fpv and drone racing because it wasn’t low latency, this new version is a lot better

That's wild man. I gotta get that. I do range tests on all my radios. That's the first thing I'll do against my crossfire. I've done this with all my radios Frsky spectrum and crossfire. I put the transmitter on my coffee table (ground level) go outside into my truck and just drive with the transmitter. I've gotten farthest with crossfire dynamic range works every time. . I get 1km almost exactly through many building as I live in populated area.

[@AvinduJayakody]

Is this working on betaflight F4 Pro V3 Flight Controller Board ?

[@srqcrna]

Actually, I think I figured it out by watching your videos and other in the business. But I am still left with one question. The power for the FPV air unit says 7 to 17 volts, but my T-motor F4 FC only has 5 volt pins. I do see a part on the T motor F4 FC where I can jump two points to get battery power (5 to 36 volts), I assume it only gives what a 4s battery offers (14.8 volts). Does this sound correct? Again, many thanks. Next time I am in Orlando, I will definitely stop by your store!

[@Simey2wheels]

What if DJI decide to limit it to only their hardware in future firmware updates?

Hello Drib 2 great video! Well supplied, I am currently on a car project RC 1/5 scale I have to mount the air unit of DJI on a car for FPV racing on car 1/5. Can you tell me if I need a flight controller to connect to the DJI air unit knowing that I am using a remote controlled car remote control. I hope my question is understandable in order to get an answer from you.

[@FilipRadelic]

I was concerned that telemetry and therefore OSD would only work if you used their RX, this is a pretty big deal and a good enough excuse for me not to wait for the "FatShark" option. I am surprised this isn't made more obvious from their marketing/faq/manuals/whatever - didn't see that this was an option anywhere! Thanks for the detailed explanation Drew ❤️

Can you use 6s with DJI, and Hobbywing Stack?

[@camomaster6316]

So you say you can use it without a flight board, but yet you had to solder it to a flight board to get power to it. if I wanted to just strap it to an RC car or something how would I power it?

[@DJRipGroove99]

I believe all it needs is power so you could just use a separate LiPo to power the Air Unit.

is it possible to set on flying wings ? maybe with a different board ?
