I look forward to every video you make period. You are very informed,and articulate. I'm 56 years old and appreciate the fact that this hobby is not only for the young, we both probably wish this technology was available when we were in are youth. Again thanks for your efforts! Please ignore any negative comments it's easy to play Monday morning quarterback.

[@williamfly3680]

I'm with you. I turned 63 this March and I am loving it I have more drones then I have time to fly. But that will change this year. I will make it a point to fly every drone I own. From the toys to the big boys. Yee Hah!

[@jeremyboyce1537]

Cisco Kid ,you beat me by one year and yes this Gentleman is a giant at what he does and he is very knowledgeable and smart and to tell you the truth ,I think he is the best .take care buddy.

I have been flying VR since maybe early September. When I first started out, it was really hard to find good info. on VR. So, I had to piece bits of information together from different videos. My point is, for those who are just starting out in VR are very lucky to have this vid of yours. It is very comprehensive.

[@billderuwe9440]

Thanks Rick, I'm a newbie to the hobby, still waiting for my first DRONE but love learning. Thanks for discussing the litchi app and I look forward to seeing your reccomends for the goggles

[@jamesmchardy9437]

Thank you for a very clear and well thought out presentation. It is much appreciated.

[@Akaizer100]

Wonderfully done! Very smooth editing, clear instructions, great advice. I'd think this was your full Time job!

[@SubToTripleThreatRC]

Best channel in the genre. Great job, thumbs up! Thanks for the safety briefing,it is sorely needed! Cheers, Bob

[@Dronevalley]

Bob, thanks for the words of support and I knew that I would probably get grief from a few people for starting off with that but there are a lot of new pilots watching these clips and it was an important message. I love this hobby and don't want to see even more restrictions placed on flying these amazing machines. I appreciate you stopping by and will have more content posting very soon. Rick

[@tonybasa7491]

Well done!!! Thanks putting in the work to explain all of the details!!

[@lswote]

Rick, I wanted to thank you for your review. Based on your thorough breakdown of the Homido goggles, I felt confident enough to give them a go. I ordered a pair and got them this past week and love them. I can fly without my prescription glasses using the adjustment on the goggles and that really makes using them much more comfortable than when I have to leave my glasses on. This a great economical solution. I spent about $120 including shipping versus $1000-$2000 minimum for an Oculus style googles. Again thank you for your thoroughness as l was able to make a much more informed purchase.

[@Dronevalley]

Bruce, thanks for the comment and the feedback. I love these goggles and have tried a few other pairs that didn't really impress me. I'll be doing a separate review clip for the Homido model I used in the clip for other subscribers since I've gotten so many questions about them. Your honest comments are helpful since you're now an owner. Thanks again for letting me know how you liked them and I hope you'll sub the channel if you haven't already. Rick

Thanks for the post and I really enjoy it as well. I can't do it for hours but I try to use the goggles a few times each time I fly. Thanks, Rick

Just got my mavic pro and having done fpv before that was my next step. Thanks for the tips!

[@gitmac5386]

Awesome and very helpful video!! even though I don't have the Mavic pro yet... (saving money), stuck with a Typhoon 4k that no body wants to buy, lol... been watching all of your videos for when the times comes... thank you!! and keep up the good work...

[@rhoffmann1001]

Love your videos. Cancelled my Mavic order until spring (New York weather) until then I bought a SYMA 5XHW to practice with since I'm new to the hobby. In the the interim I'm learning from your videos and experience. Thanks an keep up the great work.

[@Dronevalley]

Good call on the Mavic. It would be frustrating to have that shiny new drone sitting on a shelf and not be able to fly it for months. Also, your warranty would be ticking down even though you weren't flying the quad. Thanks for watching the clips and I'm glad you're enjoying them. You can use the link below when you decide to order the quad in the spring to help support the channel as we get a little credit with DJI for everyone sold through our store. Thanks again, Rick DJI Comparison Page - tinyurl.com/h3wrn8d

[@coastrnut]

Now that's cool! I don't have the Mavic yet - (It's on order!) - but I do have the VR goggles that came with the Parrot DISCO - so, using those with the Litchi app should work out great! Thanks so much for sharing this information!

[@whirlwindAs]

Best seller ever. My respect. Thanks for the videos!

[@d.hansel854]

Thanks again Rick. You have answered many old questions I had about FPV. I surely hope DJI is watching your videos and reading the comments. I bet in the next firmware update they will make one of the USB ports HDMI out. I know DJI is going to coming out with their own goggles, however they need to incorporate in their next software update a selection on the DJI Pilot app an icon that has FPV. This way you can get into FPV settings such as the Litchi app offers. Keep the videos coming. I am downloading all of them into my DJI Mavic Pro folder.

[@Dronevalley]

Thanks for stopping by and the new DJI goggles look amazing. I have a friend who has an early release pair of them and said that they are incredible. They offer full HD 1808p viewing with an insane field of view. I honestly can't wait to get my hands on them and will do a few clips for the channel once I do. In the meantime I'll keep playing with the controller to see if I can figure something else out. Thanks, Rick

[@d.hansel854]

One thing about using the smartphone in the goggles. You HAVE to land. You cannot just get close to the ground, flip the goggles off and relax. Unless you are on the ground and have the drone shutdown it could do crazy things. Things that would not be good for the unit ! I hope the weather is better than it is here in Houston. We have rain and more rain and it is 42 degrees.

[@chadhelvey7827]

Thank you Sir, I bought the entire set up, plus the range extender from your other video, based on your review. Lol. Great videos, keep it up!

Blitzwolf VR goggles on eBay... very nice. Well built, has all the adjustment knobs - 2 year warranty. I have used them now with Litchi flying my P4 for a few months - hardly ever use the Go-app anymore (reason being that the Go-app does not have the VR dual screen function.).

[@CaribbeanZapatta]

Good Morning Rick excellent as always. I tried the goggles and found it to be "OK" but I am waiting for the DJI Goggles !! I hope you have ordered the P4P Plus ! AMAZING !!! I mean absolutely AMAZING !!

[@Dronevalley]

I'm still getting used to them as well after flying with them a bunch, it's definitely a different experience. I'm hoping to have a P4P very soon and can't wait to play with it. It looks like they did an awesome job with the upgrades and it should take incredible footage. Thanks for the post and be sure to stop back soon. Rick

I just bought a Mavic Mini, which i love. I also have a pair of Headplay goggles that I used to fly DJI Phantom 3 Professional with. I am legally bliond, but with the Headplay goggles and a set of Carson Magnifier lenses, I can see perfect. I noticed that your company is always making combination cables for drones. Could you make such a cable so that i could connect my phone ( a USB-C connection) to my Mavic Mini Controler to my Headplay goggles ( a HDMI connection )? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.......Thanks Richard Henning

I'm new to droning and just ordered a Mavic pro. I was wondering if you could do a video covering everything that you suggest we carry in a drone kit. Things like tools and consumables etc.

[@AkulaII]

Does this also work with the dji spark and the samsung vr goggles

[@JamesPJSpraggins]

Hello! Love your videos! I'm having trouble connecting my iPhone 6s Plus to my drone via the Litchi app. I bought the cable you're using in this video. I'm not seeing the video feed from the drone when I connect. Am I doing something wrong?

[@checkeredflagfilms]

thanks for the review. what if you select fpv and you flying without any goggles? is that possible and what's it like? what's the difference with flying regularly?

Best KZbin video I've ever seen

[@Voodoo8648]

Great video!

[@okoboji]

This is really excellent. I'm glad you talked about the FAA rules. As a pilot, I can tell you drone safety is really important and as the number of people flying drones increases, the likelihood of abuse and accidents will also increase. Can't forget there are REAL people in airplanes as opposed to the virtual state of a drone.

[@Dronevalley]

David, thanks for the support and I knew that by mentioning that in the clip I'd get some flak but it needed to be said. I'm in those planes most days flying all over the country and flying a quad without a spotter is like rolling the dice. I know that a lot of new fliers watch this channel, which is great, but I want to make sure they have the information they need to fly safely and enjoy the hobby. Thanks again for the post and I hope you stop back soon. Rick

[@jdhelf1]

Hey Drone Valley! Great reviews that are very concise and informative - just subscribed. I looked on Amazon to buy the Homido V2 goggles and was surprised by the 2.5 star rating with three of the only 7 reviewers stating they were cheap and broke after a few minutes. Now I don't give a lot of credence to reviews all the time especially with so few reviews but wanted to hear your take on this. Thank you,

[@Dronevalley]

I sorted through those reviews as well and all of the complaints boiled down to an "action" button on the goggles not working. I didn't cover it in the review because in practice the button is essentially an afterthought. What it does is pop out a finger to tap the screen of your phone when you push a button on the top of the goggles. The reason it's not needed is because if your flying a quad you'll never use it and if you're playing games you'll be using a more sophisticated Bluetooth controller. I guess it could be considered a defect but its a feature that you'll never use so I wouldn't worry about it. I hope that helps and thanks for the post. Rick

[@jdhelf1]

Thank you

[@Ranks177]

can you fly the phantom 4 pro with the mavics controller?

[@alainroy6214]

I have yet to purchase a quad and I really appreciate all the information on your channel. I'll probably get a Mavic later this winter, based a lot on the insight you give. I have a question that's probably really basic for all of you in the know. I have loss the sight in one eye in the last year. Are FPV goggles a stereo 3d image, and will I be able to use one and enjoy it with one eye? I can no longer use my 3d tv or go to 3d movies.

[@JohnWylieMedia]

Thanks for your hard work, it's an integral part of my research in waiting for my Mavic....I was very close to cancelling my pre-order because of all of the negative forum posts. Now that I have sifted thru to the positive side, I am very confident i will know how to have fun with my Mavic. What's the name of your goggles in the vid? Thanks again.

[@wolkenkreuzer]

...thats a great I dea for now Rick...thanks a lot for this nice informative video again... wish you a happy weekend ;) Michael

Thanks for the video I have been waiting seven months for the dji goggles. Does the litchi keep the mavic updated like the go4 app does? Does litchi install to the mavic?

Hi i am Danny From the netherlands and i have a cinemizer oled goggles and it Works great and i use it with My 3dr solo drone but over 2 weeks i go to buy a mavic pro drone and i want to conect it with My cinemizer oled goggles but this goggles use HDMI in/output so what i want to know is how do i conect my cinemizer oled goggles with the mavic drone . Greetings Danny damveld From the netherlands pleas help me

[@pw3459]

Great vid. Whats the best tablet to get for the Mavic in your opinion?

[@AviationDirection]

Love your informative videos. Would you be able to make a video describing an overview of the drone laws in the USA? i.e., who needs to register, altitude restrictions, etc? I feel that with this ever-changing industry/hobby, it would be important for beginners to be responsible where needed by being educated in the regulations. Thanks!

[@djborden]

Great video... Exactly the information I have been looking for. Does the return to home, object avoidance etc still work using the Litchi app and the FPV functions? Is the app stable enough to risk a $1k toy? thanks for posting!

[@Krazydavea]

Hello, I really appreciate your videos. I would love to see more videos on the uses of the Litchi App. Thanks.

[@travishauch8132]

What do you recommend then for exiting VR mode if folding down while flying is not recommended? Finish the flight in vr mode? Higher altitude when taking off the goggles?

Rick your video's fantastic. So much useful information. So your still going threw the remote so you should bet the same range for your googles. Do you have a link to those googles. Just curious. I have to see what DJI has coming out before I decide what to get. I thought they would be out by now.

Hey! Have you ever tried connecting your android phone to the Mavic transmitter and then using the phone's Smart View function to transmit the image to a TV?

[@Zapperzz99]

when I do this the litch app only sees my camera when I plug into my phone using the tiny 3 inch micro USB to lightning, and it doesn't see my camera if I use my USB to lightning cable

Hi Rick. Thanks for all the cool videos you send out. I have just got some VR Goggles and i downloaded the Litchi app for the Mavic. I am getting a bit stock when i load up the Litchi app it ask to tap to connect and when i have done this it say ( Identification ) ( Enter Pin ) I have tryed taking off the DJI app and still dose it. I just cant get in to the Litchi app. Am i doing something wrong do i have to buy the app 1st ? Thanks Michael

[@randykirstuk8978]

I am wondering about the problem I have getting a good picture on a sunny day. My iPad mini or iPhone 6 gets washed out. I was thinking of using FPV goggles so i can better set up camera settings with the lighting. Would this be a good way to achieve better results ?

[@tamcraftish1]

Is it possible to connect my iPhone to the universal port and use it for vr and also have my iPad on the remote connected to the USB port for my friend to use (the iPad is running litchi and the iPhone is the DJI go app)

[@sromero468]

will being in immersive mode allow the gimble to move up/down as well as rotate. or does looking up and down just ascend/descend the drone?

[@mslight007]

Hi Rick, many thanks for all your videos ;) Once I get my Mavic I'd like to test FPV function with Litchi app and Homido VR headset. Is it possible to activate obstacle avoidance during FPV ? I think it should be possible. Hope to get the Mavic soon ;)
