Thinking about buying DJI's latest FPV drone headset, the DJI Goggles Integra? Hopefully I can help you make a more informed decision with this long term review.
I purchased the Goggles Integra on launch day earlier this year and received them after just a few days. After over three months of frequent usage, I've gotten very familiar with these goggles. Here are my favorite and least favorite things about these fancy new FPV drone goggles from DJI.
Whether you are upgrading from an older headset, such as the DJI V1 or V2 goggles, currently own a newer headset like the Goggles 2, or perhaps you 're just getting started with FPV and looking for a solid first pair of goggles.. my goal is to share my experience and advice to help you make a decision about how to spend your hard-earned money. Thanks for visiting. I hope you enjoy the video!

Just a quick update: Following the latest firmware update for the Integra from today (July 25th), it is now compatible with the DJI FPV too.

[@rossmandrone]

No way! Thanks for the tip!

[@rossmandrone]

Pinned your comment to this vid. Thanks again! Now I have to dust off my FPV and make a resurrection vid 😁

[@amit-dunsky]

@@rossmandrone You should blame DJI for that. It wasn't me 😉

What about mavic 3 WITHOUT motion controller???

[@noahjaussi5401]

Super Helpful review, had everything I needed to know before buying. Thank you for making this!

[@rossmandrone]

Yeah man, glad you found it useful!

[@heliharris69]

Just found your channel when searching for a comparison between the G2 & Integras. Great presentation with no bullsh*t... Very impressed with the other ones of yours ive watched also. So subscribed... Very well done from the UK.

[@rossmandrone]

Awsome dude, thank you for the kind words. Appreciate you checking out the channel. 🤘

[@DrPatrickKingsep]

Excellent review video. Thanks for the recommendation and fair comparison. Definitely helped my indecisiveness!

[@rossmandrone]

Haha thanks for checking it out! I'm very happy with my Integras. I still have my V2s, but only ever use them if I want to let someone view the audience feed.

[@RCnerd74]

Thanks for sharing. Still have to decide for which digital system i should go. Currently i like the DJI O3 with Goggles Integra most. No issues with FOV of 44°. Fatsharks never has bigger FOV. And no issues at all.

[@HKSAR55]

Thanks for the video. I only have the mini 3 pro and always wanted to fly FPV at a relaxed pace. I now have the integras and they are awsome. I also bought the new dji foam face pad too. They make the world of difference regarding comfort compared to the stock ones for me personally. Cheers!

[@rossmandrone]

Awesome, yeah I saw they released a new foam insert. Is that the soft-fit foam?

[@HKSAR55]

Yes, they are and very comfortable. Cheers 🙂

[@rossmandrone]

@@HKSAR55 I'm tempted to snag them, but upwards of $40 usd is crazy..

[@sierpus]

It’s funny how they describe them… “The softer foam padding fits a wider range of face shapes and provides a more comfortable wearing experience.” Hmm… DJI, why did you install and still sell in a package uncomfortable ones?…

[@danmontoya1102]

Great review, Thank You. I think I will purchase a pair.

[@rossmandrone]

Glad you enjoyed the review! I'm using my Integras exclusively still. They are rock solid. Hope you enjoy them!

[@rccvs4355]

Great review, the information was very clear and helpful. As for the FOV, actually I like better the 44 over the 51, don't have that round shape. Thanks for sharing !!

Merci à vous 😊

[@grege2383]

Great video! My buddy let me fly his Avata and i loved it. That being said, what i love to fly the most is my BetaFPV Meteor75 thru tight gaps. The Iflight Defender 16 is on my short list as a DJI equivalent. That and love the Cinewoop videos flying thru indoor spaces underneath tables etc... Given your experience im open to suggestions. Thanks Greg

[@86Raxor]

Great video! I have these but unopened. I will probably not switch to goggles 3. Only reason someone would is the O3+ to O4 upgrade. Not sure if those extra kilometers of range really matters...

[@BobcatBart]

Great review!

[@rossmandrone]

much appreciated - glad you enjoyed it 😎

[@a.krugliak]

thank you for rewiev!

[@rhysezfpv]

Thx just got it from Amazon. Bought it not knowing much about it for my first build.

[@rossmandrone]

I'm still very happy with my Integras. Best of luck with your build!

[@rhysezfpv]

Im about to open my Integra box 😀I will be using ELRS with it. When I solder on ELRS on my FC does FC detect it automatically or this is turned on by UART ? Thx for subscribing BTW. My only real FPV vids are my DJI FPV. I built a custom 3rd person view mount for it. Check the vids. Just about to cross over to the real FPV scene. 😀@@rossmandrone

[@bonemarrowextractor]

Hello, great review, but I would also like to know the range compared to stock (precisely stock) antennas for v2. Which is better for range: v2 or integra. I'm not interested in patch antennas. On the Internet, almost everyone compares only the antenna patch on v2 with the integra, but there is no information on how much better or worse the stock ones are than the integra. Thanks for the answer and the video.

[@etric4947]

With the Integra you cannot remove the antennas. Only with the goggle 2 you can.

[@SummerCrowfpv]

My only complaint was not having removable antenna. I took my stock antenna apart and rebuilt them with the top foldable parts from the fly fish G2 antenna. However since doing this mod and totally violating my warranty 😂 I now get a 15% boost In penetration and range I just flew around my farm and it stayed at 50mbps in a 1 mile circle around my property at literally tree top level here in northeast Texas on my rekon 7 It now gives me better omnidirectional range better then my walk snails or Dji v2 goggles can give with directional antenna on my other copters mind you I’m using the matching fly fish linear antenna on the rekon 7 I plan on upgrading to the O3 on all my other ones and selling my walk snail system. Plus the integra can support my old Dji VTx units too ….im sold

[@rossmandrone]

Nice, sounds like a successful mod. I've been pretty satisfied with the stock performance, but I may look into modding if I ever end up wanting better penetration

[@denisfedorov6467]

Thank you for good review. Could you tell me if it is possible to upgrade antennas for DJI Integra to extend flying distance? Now I use the Yagi antennas for remote control of my Mavic 3 and they work perfectly.

[@rossmandrone]

The integra's antennas are not designed to be removable/replaceable/upgradable. I'm sure there's a more advanced method of rigging up a custom modification if you know what you're doing, but you'll have to go with the Goggles 2 or something else if you want to work with goggles that have antennas that are actually replaceable by just twisting them out.

[@exx2711]

Does it work with the phone app where you can view the display on the phone? And does it work with dji simulator

[@gamingbros2533]

17:53 the first gen mavic mini has the same power delay

[@Life_a_bike]

So you can bind the Integra with a Vista and/or Air unit V1? 🤔

[@rossmandrone]

Yes 👍

[@alexroobear3225]

Sorry was it three months you have used them?? 😂😂😂 great video mate 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@rossmandrone]

still stand by my thoughts now over a year later. I still have my V2s, but never use them.

[@RussOniPhone]

Where did you get the foam?

[@etric4947]

Oh. How much for a new battery with head strap ? heat ,sun, strap maybe stretching and shrinking on the sides. After 2 years of usage , how will that be ? . I have the goggle 2 with new face foam and all is great. I have batteries from my V2 goggles . The wire is not an issue for me. Thanks for your report .

[@rossmandrone]

Honestly I don't see those as significant future issues. The strap is adjustable so it can always be tightened. The battery is holding up just fine after about 6 months. I've never had a single complaint with its life duration or ability to hold charge so far. If it happens to crap out in the future I'll just connect an external power bank, but I'll probably be ready to buy a new pair of goggles by the time that even happens.

[@etric4947]

Remember . Non replaceable batteries. Disposable goggles after 5 years. Not my choice. @@rossmandrone

[@BoReynolds]

ROSSMAN, now in mid-August 2023 my Integras arrive today. How do I link with Mavic 3 classic WITHOUT the motion controller?

[@BoReynolds]

You liked but no reply?

[@rossmandrone]

You can link a Mavic 3 to the Goggles Integra without the motion controller 2 and get a video feed, but you still won't be able to fly without the motion controller 2 unfortunately..

[@rossmandrone]

@@BoReynolds haha, was typing 👍

[@BoReynolds]

@rossmandrone sorry buddy, my bad! But wait. I saw other vids that say you just have to launch first THEN turn on the goggles and it would work. No?

[@rossmandrone]

@@BoReynolds oh yeah, I think that's accurate unless they updated firmware to prevent it. I've never tried it myself since it would most likely void DJI Care insurance for any flight that doesn't use proper / recommended controllers

[@tkanal1]

Man, when talking about that FOV, it is not like a sitting in front of TV but more like sitting in the cinema and watching a 20m screen 😉 But I appreciate the lower FOV because what I'm focus on is the center where I'm flying and I cannot even see the edges clearly because I would need to move with my eyes to the side, which is not a good idea when flying😁 Bigger FOV doesn't make practical sense...

[@mjsla]

I wear 2 strength magnification readers. Do any of the lenses have this magnification?

[@rossmandrone]

The Integra googles ship with a total of 11 lens inserts ranging from -8 to +2 diopter. These lenses will only assist with correcting myopia, hyperopia, or astigmatism. If you search around there are some websites that sell additional lenses.

[@MichaelHasbun]

Can you use the Integra goggles with the normal handheld RC controller, or do you have to have the motion controllers?

[@rossmandrone]

The goggles have no actually connection to any controller. They only connect to drones and/or fpv camera units. They will work with DJI Avata, DJI FPV, any DJI air unit or Caddx Vista. They will also work with the Mini 3 Pro and Mavic 3 drones if you pair them with the DJI motion controller 2.

[@tmiami743]

These supposedly work with DJI air 3 but not rc2 with screen, which came with air 3. Very disappointed. DJI could software update to make compatible so I have not wasted money. And, DJI should at least let standard remote work it if rc2 will not. Not sure that I like motion control. But if any body know how to get them to work with RC2 please let us know. I can't even get it to connect to air 3, but if I could, I still could not fly since rc2 non compatible.

[@tracy1267]

what charger do you use i cant find one on dji

[@rossmandrone]

Any type c charger for a phone or other device will work

[@damaylaphoenix1155]

the integra came with my fpv drone. it's called the explorer combo

[@rossmandrone]

What are your thoughts?

[@damaylaphoenix1155]

@@rossmandrone it has become my favorite out of 3 dji drones. i like the fact that i can learn Manuel mode and if i get into trouble i can hit the panic button. Also the goggles are very clear, glad this is my first pair. i dont feel any discomfort! i think for the 800 bucks the combo is going for now it's hard to beat. Led lights are awesome. the power is insane!

[@OnelastgoTV]

Wait, you can use dji integra goggles for other brand fpv drones?

[@rossmandrone]

Any custom fpv drone with a dji air unit or a caddx Vista will be compatible.

[@OnelastgoTV]

@@rossmandrone oh wow.. Thanks for the info

[@rossmandrone]

@@OnelastgoTV no prob man, thanks for checking out my vid

[@rossmandrone]

Check out a more recent video of mine reviewing the new proshot comfort foam for Integra. Way more comfy option

[@evFPV]

@@rossmandrone ok thank you. Anyways I am going for the V2 instead. Coming from V1 I like the streaming Option of being capable to use any device. AFAIK with integra you can only Stream vía the DJI app, right?

[@vetrivelvenkatesan3679]

I can see the mark on your nose, which shows how discomfort it is! anyway, thanks for an in-detail review. Kudus bro!!

[@rossmandrone]

Haha, yeah.. it definitely still isn't super comfortable, but cutting back the foam was what made the difference for me. Appreciate the comment!

[@naveennishad]

I already have goggles v2, planning to upgrade …but fov seem deal breaker to me .. what do you say on this ?

[@rossmandrone]

It really doesn't matter. After over a year of just using integra I feel a smaller fov is actually easier for me to react faster while flying in tight spaces since my eyes don't need to move as far too see everything. If you are more interested in visual immersion and care less about technical flying you should stick with the V2s.

[@naveennishad]

@@rossmandrone thanks for replying, few reason to upgrade , v2 not compact, takes lots of space in bag , specially when I want to Carry only 2 inch , Second tiered of keep binding different unit again and again Third I find v2 little heavy , and expecting this heaviness will be reduced with integra Fourth , I’m getting deal for integra for 300 dollar new, and i can sell old v2 (with all possible good upgrades ) for same amout, no money investment needed in this upgrade , Only loss, no more analog 1s flying What do you think

[@rossmandrone]

@@naveennishad great deal - go for it. Integrated battery is super convenient too. I forgot how annoying it was to keep rebinding with my V2s.. Much slimmer and lighter, just be sure to get some comfy foam because the stock foam is horrible. Check my review of the proshot comfort foam for Integra.

[@Super0Momko]

Why is everyone complaining about the cable and external battery I got 3 batteries and a short cable and better strap for the v2 on ali

[@rossmandrone]

I wouldn't say the external battery is a major downside, I just prefer to have one less thing to remember to pack. Also, I had the battery disconnect (at the battery end) on two separate occasions while I was flying with my V2s.

[@novisfpv]

do they have any form of video in?

[@rossmandrone]

Nope

[@BBFPV]

everything you said was very interesting but the background music was torture 🤣

[@rossmandrone]

@@BBFPV yeah that's my bad haha

[@qq-lq4lg]

The single-most annoying thing in this excellent review, is the completely unnecessary background music, which makes voice sometimes difficult to understand. For the love of god, turn off that background music.

[@Porculus]

I also love my Integra goggles, but DJI claiming that the battery lasts 2 hours is a bunch of bull. After one hour of flying, I'm down to 30% battery, which is when the battery should be plugged back in to recharge. I would gladly have a larger battery on the back of the goggles and take the hit in weight and comfort. Or at least have the option to buy a larger battery for the Integra goggles, for us hardcore flyers. I now carry a separate battery bank to recharge the Integra goggles through the USB-C port while I'm flying.

[@rossmandrone]

Fortunately for me, I fly very often - but usually never for more than an hour per session. At least they added universal power bank charge as a feature and didn't make it proprietary with their own fancy power bank or something.

[@sussamgt10anos]

can i make live streaming with integra?

[@rossmandrone]

Officially, you can live stream only through the DJI Fly app when connected to an Avata, Avata 2, or a drone with an O3 air unit. Unofficially, there are some 3rd party apps like PRISM that people have been able to livestream with. Personally, I have not done any streaming so I can't speak to the experience.

[@BODALLY]

You forgot to mention they fog up like crazy and lenses scratch really bad really well upset with mine wish I never bought them . Hope they fix the lenses and I guess the steaming up is never going to be fixed .

[@rossmandrone]

I haven't dealt with any fogging issues and I can pretty much guarantee that it's because of how I cut out the nose foam. Increased air flow to the lenses prevents fog from forming. It won't work for everyone due to differences in head shape/size unfortunately.

[@BODALLY]

@@rossmandrone might try it I suppose it happens when I run to pick up drone when crashed come back and bang happens to all of us . Wish I’d of not bought then to be honest meant to be a upgrade and they are but always have a big negative drawback . Really bad for a big company like dji and the lenses are scratched u can’t clean them but you scratch them when u do should of been glass

[@OnelastgoTV]

[@BoReynolds]

Why can't I pair the integra to my Mavic 3

[@rossmandrone]

Have you switched the Integra's mode to Mavic 3 before attempting to pair? If you don't see that mode, be sure to update the firmware for your goggles and Mavic. Also, the motion controller 2 is required in case you didn't already know.

[@BoReynolds]

@rossmandrone I'm seeing alot of vids that don't use the motion controller. And when I try to switch it to mavic 3 it only gives a choice of avata and O3 units

[@BoReynolds]

And Mavic 3 is an O3 drone correct?

[@BoReynolds]

Also do I HAVE TO use DJI assistant to update?

[@rossmandrone]

You can also update firmware through the DJI Fly mobile app@@BoReynolds

[@ronniequalls7217]

That battery strap is a problem in the making and only two 18650 batteries, that’s one reason I didn’t buy them !

everyone complains about the nose piece ,, ,, get a dam flat Chinese nose HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH GAGAGAGAGAGAA make the west suffer ,, MY NOSE IIIEEERRR,,,,,There are some factors I may get the Integra over the goggles 2 .. I fly mostly analog racing drones ,, The V2 goggles FOV is to big for me i prefer my Skyzone LCOS displays at 39 degree view over the Oled screens ,, the LCOS latency is way better and smoother displays and the color is almost OLED close its more natural color ,, perfect for racing ,, the Integra with smaller Oled screens should be much less latency the smaller the FOV the smoother it will appear .. I love the smaller FOV for racing and flying fast freestyle a must .. the top racers use a 33 degree fov because you can get 90 fps analog thru the smaller screens , Remember the lager the FOV the more you will notice latency and the digital stutter

[@planetbuster]

Too small, the fit is horrible. Tried them once, hated them. V2 all the way and you won’t be a better pilot because of these. OLED screens don’t make up for the downsides of these goggles. Try before you buy.

[@rossmandrone]

I'm thankful my noggin is small enough to not be much of an issue for these. Sucks how bad they are stock though. Far from perfect, but definitely worth considering under specific circumstances. As for the displays, I stand by my opinion that they help me see more clearly and greatly assist with close proximity navigation when compared to my V2s.

[@Les_Grossman]

BUT digital made me a better pilot because flying is much more fun 🤣(started with V2, now also G2 because of protability HUGE plus...)
