Flying Mavic 2 with DJI Goggles

[@BadOldBuzzard]

What's the point if you don't show the viewers what YOU are seeing in the goggles? Very uninformative IMO.

[@quartet111]

John Tarvin I expected some recorded footage to match what he was seeing

[@salmenda]

This would of helped a lot

[@pewwbz9647]

I know WTH

[@dropkickdrones4569]

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.

[@syamse3638]

was hoping he make a quick test on head tracking and fixed wing mode...

[@Blackseatrails]

Not racing version of goggles do not support 5.8 ? Only black version can support 5.8?

[@AndreRoy1967]

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?

[@allangosling6134]

excellent video again. I just bought mine, I am not seeing a video using the smart controller. Can you please do this video?

[@vracan]

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.

[@thomaswindfeld728]

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 :-)

[@vracan]

@@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.

[@thomaswindfeld728]

@@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:-)

[@ADV-Rider-Dude]

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.

[@leaddog3132]

thanx i've been wondering about that

[@maxtamcpherson8869]

i also have both goggles which one would you recommend to use for the Mavic 2 Zoom ? Great videos by the way

[@LukeMaximoBell1]

Will you get a live feed to your phone and the goggles at the same time?

[@airheadbit1984]

yes, both screens.

[@rodrigodiniz13]

Does one of those goggles work as spectator with the DJI AIR UNIT and Goggles V2?

[@SeanOzz]

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?

[@airheadbit1984]

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.

[@marizatiablae]

How's the LIVE viewing of the googles? Do you think is better than a 5.8 mhz analog camera with Google receivers?

[@babanarr3311]

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.

[@STIjojoSTI]

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?

[@mpower3144]

Does the drone vision move up down and sideways with your head movement?

[@YellowRoseDrones]

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.

[@djdubz]

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.

[@robertalexander3797]

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

[@readysetdrone]

Unless you do a workaround, like this kzbin.info/www/bejne/jaLMaoWFlLyjrqc, it seems like they aren't compatible.

[@delfin2003]

Have you tried the range using googles vs. the range using your cell phone? I'm wondering if it's the same

[@mayersinsuranceagencyllc2852]

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?

[@taxevader9859]

Would it work with the newest generation of the goggles?

[@TheDronzDr]

So which one did you like the most between them?

[@leerothman7570]

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.

[@RM-ud9tf]

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

[@allangosling6134]

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.

[@fpvpilot7713]

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.

[@1xraydoc]

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...

[@readysetdrone]

It's been a while since I did this video, so I don't exactly remember how. But there is a fix. I think the fix is to have your phone and goggles going at the same time. As I recall, the problem comes when you try to fly with just the goggles and don't have the phone connected as well. Give that a try and let me know how it goes.

[@paulstovall3777]

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.

[@CoachOcean]

Hi, Do you know if these googles will work alongside the DJI Smart Controller?

[@aharleyguy]

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 ?

[@mrchillout1989]

Do you need that antenna on the goggles if you want to connect the mavic 2 pro?

[@PeninsulaDroneography2024]

Do you need to have the antenna fitted on the RE goggles if you are connected to the Zoom and not a racing drone ?

[@tommygraham1990]

Is there a gps in the goggles for return to home or do you need to have your phone plugged into the controller for that to work?

[@CoachOcean]

Does these work with DJI smart controller?

[@azspotfree]

No

[@andrewandron7087]

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?

[@CXBFPV]

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?

[@metatron2332]

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!

[@brianbonnough9953]

He didn't you do a video with the DJI goggles in the spark setup? I thought you did but I can't find it anywhere. Can you send me the link please.

[@michaelsaunders1021]

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!!

[@Killerplanes]

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!

[@readysetdrone]

Thanks! We're based in central Texas.

[@BillTheDroneReviewer]

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.

[@readysetdrone]

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!

[@BillTheDroneReviewer]

@@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 !

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!

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.

[@readysetdrone]

Yes. I have some videos about that.

[@exil3dlivecom]

Which is better for the zoom ? The regular or RE?

[@dropkickdrones4569]

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.

How do you get the damn goggles it says that they don’t sell them in our country. ????????

[@wreckinball11]

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.

[@readysetdrone]

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.

hi is it necessary to have the RC External antenna connected when your using ocusync mode and if so why ?

[@YellowRoseDrones]

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?

Very nice. Can the goggles be used with the Spark?

[@jakewyler1945]

Yes, the Spark and goggles can be used together. However you have to physically attach the goggles to the Spark controller. There is no OcuSync between the two.

Yes - I have a video that demonstrates this somewhere on the channel.

For those of us who wear glasses, is there a way to focus the goggles when wearing them? Are they large enough to wear glasses inside of them?

Yes, there is a wheel on the bottom for focus and if the glasses are not too big, they will fit under the goggles.

[@alexrothbard4324]

How far did you fly? I’ve been having range issues when using goggles re. Also I noticed you had the mushroom antenn on. Theoretically that should only be necessary when using without ocusync. And do you experience light leak? Because I have a ton of light leak on both sides; granted I do have a narrow face but I was just curious.

[@readysetdrone]

Hey Alex - Thanks for the comment. Here are some answers. 1 The way to get around the limited range issue is to start your drone up with the phone, then switch over to the goggles. If you do that, your range should not be limited. 2 Mushroom antenna is for the 5.8Ghz analog signal for FPV racers. It was not needed for the Mavic, but I had it on anyway. 3. I have a pretty fat face, so no issue with light leak. I'm sure you could fix that with some cloth. Thanks!

[@alexrothbard4324]

Awesome thanks for the tips. So you are saying link up the controller and drone as usual, then turn the goggles on after?

[@readysetdrone]

Correct.

[@ronaldochan5000]

I have had the same range issue.. when using the RE with the phone connected first my video becomes choppy and cuts out after a few hundred feet when compared to just phone and controller alone. I would have to turn the goggles power off to regain video and signal on my iOS device. Because of this I hardly use the re goggles. Seems to be good for quick close by inspection but does not hold up to the same range experience with just phone and controllers. Also was told the antennas are not needed for Mavic 2 pro. Would like to see someone actually test the range out with re goggles and Mav 2. This may be an issue hopefully can be corrected with firmware - at this time if I had a do over would not have choose to get the goggles.. bit disappointing.
