Flying a Drone with Apple Vision Pro is WAY Better With visionOS 2!

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

This is a game changer Bill! Now if Apple could bring the price down a little.

[@Mat-eq8mk]

Great video - thanks, Imagine trying to explain this to someone from 2006!

[@myicycle]

This is so cool. I'm going to buy the Apple Vision pro as soon as it's available in Switzerland just so I can fly my drone with it. 👍🏻

[@rogerzutter]

Same here. Can’t wait until it’s available in Switzerland

[@amoktimeflies]

OMG! This is a ‘niche of a niche’! Don’t get me wrong - loving this concept, but wish I had enough subscribers to support a video like this!! 😂

[@jrresolutions]

This is hilariously awesome!! A screen bigger than your tesla!!

[@cre8tivity06]

I love the part about how you still have situational awareness and room to pull up other apps. This is really interesting tech!!!

[@umiari-yamaari]

The advantage over the DJI Goggles 3 is that you can view other applications in multiple windows. It's great that the smartphone screen doesn't get too bright in the sunlight, and you can see the surroundings of where you are, not just the drone's line of sight, but the DJI Goggles 3 can do this too. Also, I don't think head tracking is possible with the Apple Vision Pro. So, I think the only thing that beats the DJI Goggles 3 is that you can view other applications in multiple windows. It's true that if you only see the drone's line of sight, you're a little worried about where you're flying, but if you look at the GPS map in multiple windows, you can feel at ease. I want to use this on a yacht. In my case, I have a Meta Quest 3, but with Immersed I can display the smartphone screen on the Meta Quest 3. The smartphone screen doesn't look good on a yacht in the strong sunlight. But with this, you can see it clearly and beautifully. However, I would like to see MR apps for yachts and outdoor activities. For example, I hope that outdoor MR apps such as a fish finder MR app or an MR app that shows the destination signs of mountain climbing routes will come out.

Smart "move" indeed, thank you for sharing this!

[@briandclawson]

Amazing video, thank you for sharing! Drone tech and Apple Vision Pro kind of had me 🤯

[@Funkinbassman1984]

Man! Can I dream that someday I'll be able to share my DJI RC Pro screen with an Apple Vision Pro?!! That would make it a bit easier decision to jump into the whole Apple Vision Pro experience

[@MyFriendlyPup]

Apple vision pro finally has a purpose!!!

[@MrKibooks]

This is awesome and reaffirms my decision to purchase it now that it just became available in Canada. It should be arriving in a week or two,, please continue with more content on this subject,, any “dos/donts/tricks”,,,

[@90steen]

Get back to me when you can view live 3D 360 degree (or even 180 degree) video captured from the drone or any radio controlled vehicle. Imagine there being 3D 360 degree webcams at any cafe in the world, every sports stadium, every community celebration and essentially being transported to those places when wearing the headset.

[@DroneUpp]

Wow! Those Vision OS 2 goggles are insane! Geez! Anything by Apple is not cheap quality wise or money wise! LOL! Will be keeping an eye on this new cool product! Thanks for sharing.

[@5centsmedia]

Philly represent!!

[@whitneymcbee4756]

Is the visual data being transmitted and received via Wi-Fi? If Wi-Fi, do you know if it is 2.4GHz or 5GHz?

[@RonaldBrown59]

This improves the workflow greatly for flying your drone with the Apple vision goggles. But I'm still not ready to pull the trigger on the Apple Vision Pro's yet. Great video, and thank for sharing Billy.

[@avataltitude]

Just confirmed the in-app streaming from the Avata 2/Motion 3/Googles 3 directly to the DJI Fly app on my AVP vOS2 works! But… since it’s a WiFi network, there won’t be internet. BUT IT WORKS without needing to mirror my phone.

[@Okie-Tom]

Neat! You need to do a give a way on some of these applevision goggles! 😉

[@MarkBowenPiano]

With Vision Pro can you place something on the screen (like the iPhone screen) and have it stay in the same eyeliner view when you turn your head? What I mean by that is NOT the normal thing whereby the iPhone screen stays pinned to a certain position in 3d space but stays pinned in front of you in the same place so if you turn your head to the left you'll still have the iPhone screen dead in front of you? I'm thinking that would definitely help a little with VLOS or even just situational awareness of what's going on around you but then you'd still have the drone screen in front of you wherever you turn also?

[@Co-opSource]

It’s called a head locked HUD. Unfortunately those generally cause motion sickness. Some implementations are better than others, e.g. snap-to gaze/destination when head movement stops, etc.

[@avataltitude]

So tempted to update to iOS18 beta to try this!!!!

[@GabrielBhappy]

Do you still need a portable Wi-Fi hotspot to make this work? Or should the devices just be able to see each other and connect via airplay even if you’re out in the middle of nowhere?

[@tranquilitybase6417]

So the goggles 2 with motion controller and RC with mini3 Pro is a cluster compared to this. Just need to switch to iPhone but would still need to get the other RC that doesn’t have the screen. But this is very cool!

[@IJUSTWANNAFLYDJIDRONES71]

Something else added to the wish list.

[@zxcvbnmmification]

Thats very cool

[@Abdi_Mohamed_]

Ok now this is soo 🔥

This is fantastic!!

[@lonniesfilmmaking333]

Awesome as Apple is the best ❤ Hey Billy you should check out the new Aeroo Australian drone and test it out? It can carry a 1 kilogram payload 😊❤

[@HaroldColeman-eb9kx]

Nice video. I noticed you are using your iPhone, will this work with the RC pro controller?

[@GoldFus1on]

will this work on quest 3?

[@kelRGo]

Does this work with Avata2???

[@TechWithSanuga]

Nice man!, you don't have enough subs or views though, hope that improves in the future!

[@cre8tivity06]

Dies that really matter? Everybody who’s into drones knows who Billy is lol.

[@waynerowe8477]

Just updated to visionOS2. iPhone 14 promax is only showing my Apple TVs as mirroring options.

[@usairstar]

Kudos Billy, been watching you for along time. Which iPhone are you using? IOS 18Beta???. I’ve had AVP since Feb, love it, even more so with OS2 Beta…. Also, had a drone business which I closed down five years ago because I’m still flying airplanes and couldn’t devote enough time to that on my flying schedule. I want to try the AVP with my Mavic Pro Platinum, Phantom 3 Pro, and not sure if it will work with my Phantom 4 Pro V2 with the controller screen which is android, or my DJI FPV? Your thoughts would be appreciated. Take care…

[@MyFriendlyPup]

Sell mavic pro platinum. Awful old drone.

[@usairstar]

I just want to try this with the drones i have. The Mavic Pro Platinum is still a great foldable drone.

[@0Gonzo0ify]

These mirror the phone?

[@aytw661]

Can we do that with the quest3?

[@iainhmunro]

Nice - now they just need to be affordable.

[@jeffrey_live1748]

Can you fly the Avata too?

[@gmodesike]

he sure can fly the avata - he's already done it

[@MyFriendlyPup]

Anyone can it hovers.

[@mrbilginc]

Hope this comes to Quest 3

[@MrCoggibird]

Remind me again, was it a Native connection??

[@Soulz373]

I wish there was a way to make it work with the RC 2. I would need to downgrade to the standard controller to pull this off.

[@Harry-lmao]

Guess not too many people still use a controller plus smartphone attached to it (not really handy) since the more advanced RC 2 or pro conrollers (Android) already have an LCD integrated. Guess for screen mirroring on Quest3 that DeX software would work just fine but that requires to have sidequest and APKpure installed (workaround). Not sure about the latency and all. Need to try it out.

[@MyFriendlyPup]

I use a rc2 and phone. My phone has 3x screen brightness of the rc2. Hard pass

[@Harry-lmao]

@@MyFriendlyPup Absolutely, I totally agree when it comes to the brightness, contrast and resolution. The Rc2 cant compete with the phones nowadays when it comes to this point although the Rc pro might be an option (1080p, 1000nits or whatoever features). Screen mirroring in VR glasses is the keyword here. DJI should commence to cooperate with Apple or Meta on this and make this technology a lil smarter. Perhaps this would even boost the purchase incentive.

[@jonfirestone8093]

I know you report on a lot of DJl products. Can you do a video on how the proposed ban on DJI products affects not just drones but all DJI products, and also talk about Skydios involvement on this legislation? I know it won't be immediate or affect the current products, but it will affect our industry significantly in the near future.

[@Jandrewz7]

This is so cool but does it still count as visual line of sight when you’re watching the drone through cameras in the Vision Pro?

[@olabergvall3154]

It does not. VLOS cannot be aided by cameras, binoculars, etc. So you'd still need a VO... guess Billy always has one just off screen 😅

[@gcopter1963]

@@olabergvall3154 Yeah, the FAA needs to get with the times and allow this. These drones aren't paper planes. They can fly farther and get out of human sight quicker.

You do have permission to fly beyond VLOS and an observer yes?

[@alexpelayo3502]

If I'm ever going to spend 3K on a VR headphones I need an HDMI port or something to connect to a PlayStation

[@CanonMike68]

I wonder if this would cause motion sickness 🤔

[@bobsturdevant5317]

I would think it wouldn’t because you have vision pass through so you don’t have that full screen FPV feel while you are standing in one place. I just wished it would work with RC2 on mini 4 pro.

[@ozzy1887]

Nice, but pricey.

[@simon-pierredupuis5238]

I really wonder if laws will change regarding VLOS to be accepted when using mixed reality headsets like this since you can watch both your drone + your screen at the same time. That's be awesome!

[@ryngrd1]

DJI was so close to releasing head tracking gimbal for acro/manual mode. Now that they are getting banned they are keeping that tech for themselves. Damn shame 😒

[@get.1.man.]

So if you use a Android ph these are useless🤔

IMO Apply goggles don’t add any “real” advantage that would qualify for the huge cost of the goggles.

[@Malbre]

Sorry, but who has $3500 to waste on a pair of goggles

[@DeathandCo]

Think you might be missing the point here. Firstly, you need to remember AVP is Apple’s 1st generation high end VR device. Do you actually think they aren’t going to make a cheaper version of this? This is only the start. The early days. It’s evolving and Billy is just showing how a simple VisionOS update changed a few things on how he can fly.

[@MobileDecay]

​@@DeathandCoYou never made a point. 🤔

[@dkny2980]

If DJI wanted to charge you $6000 for better goggles, would you pay? Lol. I don't think you would. These Apple goggles are the biggest waste of money of the year.

[@Uchvryheid]

It's like saying flying first class is a waste of money. It is only if you don't have the money, but if you do, it's not.

[@dkny2980]

@@Uchvryheid your analogy is off the mark. It's like saying you're paying for first class but you don't get to board first, enjoy better meals or your own bathrooms. You're basically flying coach at triple the cost just to sit closer to the front. The goggles are a novelty and don't really add value. That's not my thought, those are common amongst those who bought them. Imagine paying $100,000 for a Civic but try to justify it by saying it has heated/cooled leather seats and a Bose sound system.

[@GabrielBhappy]

@@dkny2980 Have you tried them?

[@Uchvryheid]

@@dkny2980 Not at all,you don’t get to get the upgrades in first class,who cares if you board first or last. The plane ain’t leaving without you.

[@_erids_]

Mates, whether or not first class is a waste of money, it’s a different thing compared to the Vision Pro. First class is an experience that a set of certain people enjoy. While the Vision Pro is a (Product) that is made specifically for developers in mind. Now I wouldn’t personally say that the Vision Pro is a waste of money, for the reason that I’m into the “VR and AR” space. But for a normal everyday person it probably would be a waste. Because they are not interested in that sort of thing. All I’m saying is that The Vision Pro is made for certain people, and you might not be that person it’s made for. No need to specify that someone’s analogy is incorrect, and no need to bring hate to someone’s interests. See ya! 👋
