Ordered a refurbished set for 279.. been practicing / working my way up from beginner models to currently a Holystone gps drone.. I have a Mavic and a Phantom 3 standard that I haven't flown yet.. the goggles will be amazing! The clunky phone interface is annoying.. thanks for the quality review!
⚠️ THANK YOU! Honest reviews are not readily found on UA-cam as of late. I am a relative newbie to the whole world of droning and almost every one of my purchases has been due to one of your reviews. Thanks for maintaining integrity in a world in which your mailbox will be filled with toys, both good and bad...with the expectation that they will always receive positive reviews. I am going with the dji RE goggles as I have a Mavic 2 and a M2Zoom which use occusync2. 👍🏻🙂 Btw: Anyone out there with a physical disability or injury should look at the aerial or cinematic drones as a way to escape pain and lack of mobility and gain better dexterity and coordination. The Mavic 2 series is ideal because if you have an issue that temporarily makes you unable to control the drone, generally you can just let go of the sticks and the drone will just hover awaiting your command..
I have a pair, and if you have tried them, then you too will be amazed. Every one I've let watch through them were amazed as well. Yes they are large, but just like every tech shit, they will shrink. This pair up is my favorite drone setup right now! Not a heart pounder like a race quad. But SMOOOTH like Cadillac lol. Great product DJI
Thanks you answered a question right up front, Drone Compatibly. I feel like when i pay that much for something i don't want to be stuck to using it with just one device.
Justin, beautiful narrative. I've been flying a Phantom 4 for a while now and should be getting my Goggles tomorrow. Your video was very informative. Your dog is adorable!
I would suggest to keep your phone connected just in case of any crash and you need the "find my drone" option as well as follow the video saved on your phone.
Just got a pair... woohoo! I wear glasses, and really love the DJI Goggles. A million times better than using the app. I use them for flying drones, but also for watching movies / games from my pc and laptop. The dual 1080p full width / FOV screens are cleverly composited using polarized optics... so from 100m up you can see a seagull's wing flapping on the ground. At 1.5km out the image is crystal clear with no disconnects.
I don't think you mentioned that with the goggles and remote only (no phone connected), you're forced to stay in the beginner mode. This was my discovery when I tried my new goggles for a first time today that the flying range was limited by 50 meters around me. To disable this mode, you need to connect your phone, log in in the Go app. Apparently DJI introduced this "feature" recently. Unfortunately, if I still need my phone every time I'm flying, it is a big hassle. My initial excitement fades away. Also, if you're right handed like me, you always be accidentally touching the pad and the keys with you hand if you want to lift the goggles up. Another thing, it is really huge and heavy, not something you'd take with you when hiking or kayaking.
First thing I did with my Phantom 3 Pro was make up a long custom hood that wraps around my face with a foam fit, to block out ALL light. I fitted it with a big pair of strong granny glasses to magnify the iPad mini 2 screen (it has a cutout at the bottom where I can pop my hand through a split foam piece to use the touchscreen). I can't believe anyone would want to fly a DJI drone with a tiny phone in sunlight. I have also flown the Phantom with my Fatshark HD goggles connected by hdmi, but the magnified iPad screen is so much sharper and bigger, I never bother now.
You sold me on the goggles by speaking to me biggest HATE of drone flight... sun on the display. Can't wait to make it easy to line up my shots. Thank you!
One more additional feature is they are fun with the Xbox. It is another level doing that.. lol.. But they are fun to use. Another Point to make is be careful with the USB charging plug, suggest you have a magnetic usb plug so the connection is then less abused by continual use. Great review mate!
With or without glasses, I cannot get these to focus. I'm near sighted and they still have never been crisp with my eyesight and reading glasses won't help me. Hoping to find a use for these at some point. Great quality and more comfortable than you would expect due to the size. Thank you for the great review.
Now you can use the DJI goggles with any fvp quad. You do have to buy an additional ocuSync air unit, ocuSync camera, and antena, but the setup will work.
Great Review. I do like the idea that the goggles don't record. The recording is done from drone camera straight to the drone SD Card, no interference. If the goggle recorded you would be dependent on the signal strength for some of the quality of your recording. That is removed this way. Whatcha think? Am not so worried about a backup recording I guess. Anyway, a backup on the goggles would not be of a high quality I feel also.
Glad I came across this one.. I've had drones for 5 years or so and never had an FPV although I have used a racing quad with a runcam attached.. (for recording) Got a Mavic air in the last 2 weeks and so far I love it.. and the phone battery on my S5 (even with a new one) can get drained pretty fast.. especially in near freezing temps... plus my phone if it gets too cold can lockup and shut down which isn't good. As long as these don't "crash" like a phone can they'd be awesome! I could hook up my phone and just keep the brightness to the absolute minimum if needed which would keep the phone battery running for WAY longer than I could possibly fly. I believe I read where you have to at least connect the mavic / or air to the app before take off or you are limited to a certain flight distance.
As a home inspector that needs to look at roofs of varying height and pitch, would you see this setup as a viable option for inspection and for taking photos of the possible issues? We often need to see if shingles are deteriorated or have rips. Also roof tiles are very fragile so walking on them is a NO NO..
Very helpful review. For some reason I was under the impression that it *could* be configured to receive analog 5.8 GHz video, without any extra hardware. Thanks for clearing this up.
You "could" use the DJIs for other systems if connected via HDMI (future HD video transmission), or connect analogue video to a HDMI converter (but that gives you latency). You can also connect Dominators to HDMI and see DJI lightbridge (but not occusync)... You cant stream 720p120 on the goggles (or did I miss a new firmware?). Latency is actually higher than advertised... and it increases when you start recording, but it's lower on the goggles vs. the phone. Yep, I also wished that the HDMI was OUT as well (to show Mavic downlink on a TV...) About the recording: that's the reason I still use the phone (since it captures all the flightdata which I can also upload to airdrones and analyse it there... It helps that I use an android phone (these are charged by the remote and dont get emptied so quick - but then again - the remote does :) Solution: powerbank to the remote if you really need long flighttimes... But in the end - I thought you had found more negative points - think you were as stunned by the image quality as I am. greets, Mario
Looking at these to use with fpv.blue, once compatibility is confirmed. But also interested in whether they will work with an analogue>digital converter to use with all my 5.8 fixed wings, not concerned about lag - have you tried this out?
@RCschim: did you measure the latency of the DJI goggles if you use them via HDMI? I am asking as I am using the Connex Prosight HX and I am still looking for a goggle that offers 720p@60fps with good screen size, resolution and low latency.
There's no 120fps setting on the DJI Goggles btw. The DJI specs you quote on @RCSchim's comment are wrong. The 3 available resolutions for the DJI Gogs are 720@30p 720@60p & 1080@30p
HI mate getting my first drone in the next few days (dji) and one thing I really want to experience is the feeling of (slowish) flying even if it is for half an hour or of flight time hopefully these googles will give me some kind of motor paragliding feeling :) bit too old and fragile to do the real thing haha Great video and thanks for the honest review! Cheers
FYI - the scales were still in 'lb' (iimperial) mode when you weighed the FatShark goggles and battery - so total weight was 0.860lb - not 860g - so their total weight was actually around 390g.
Awesome review Justin, thanks for putting them side by side with the FatSharks for comparison. I wasn’t sure which set of these I preferred but now I’m leaning toward the DJI Goggles.
Nice Review. I will comment that each eye is not presented with a full view of the "screen". The nose bridge blocks a portion of the screen from each eye. This is barely noticeable if you have good visual acuity in both eyes. If you have poor "reading vision" (even with correction) in one eye there will be part of the screen that will not be readable - this is in contrast to say looking at your computer monitor which both eyes have access to - or to a set of 3D VR goggles that present a complete image to both eyes. Also, the touch screen does not present a "mouse pointer" which would be very helpful for feedback. If I am missing something here, please let me know, thanks!
Awesome video! I just got a pair myself and can’t wait to get up in the air. I’m using these with my Mavic Air for my channel and using them for work shots
I tried a friend's a couple months ago and it gave me quite a freaky feeling. But I could probably get used to them. I usually fly alone, so I'm not sure how much I'd use them for flying. But I've heard they're great for watching TV...so there's that. I could watch a movie or something without disturbing the Mrs.
I have been using Fat sharks on my Inspire and other DJI's for years the fat shark has a HDMI port that plugs straight into the Inspire controller. Fat shark already come with a number of Dioptric lenses.
BIG QUESTION about Googles. Do they make you sick like VR games? My friend has HTC Vive and just after three minutes I was sick for entire day. My head was spinning like a turbine. So will these googles make the same effect?
hey, what do you mean? I've been experimenting with connecting a VRX to a composite to HDMI converter to fly my microquads FPV using my DJI goggles. Latency is about 140-150ms. Quality is awesome but I believe the latency will be a big problem. Curious if you've found a better way to get an analog video signal to the DJI displays.
Dude, how has no one mentioned that you were still on lbs when you weighed your FatSharks? DJI was 2.25lbs and FatShark with battery was still under 1lbs
The weight might not be an issue if it's distributed well. If most of the weight is in that screen in the front, then it's a problem, but if the weight is distributed in the circular part that sits on top of the head, which I believe is since the battery is there (and it would be a smart thing to do), then it's not a big deal.
If DJI GO4 and Litchi are both residents on either the phone or the tablet to control the drone, how can you use a flight mode like waypoints without using a phone or tablet? Thanks for answering my newbie Q.
Man I just ordered a pair. The Race Edition... Didnt realize I couldnt record direct for my mini quads!!! Now I know... Geeez. Look like i still gotta get some Dominators....
Nice review, I'm about ready to pull the trigger. Amazon is selling refurbished ones for $299, which is pretty irresistible, especially with being able to return at Kohl's is they don't work for me, and 12-month equal pay at 0% with my Amazon VISA. The planets are aligned!
Allow me to do this - I meant to write in my previous comment. I understand it will be for VIEWING the video ONLY and that the goggles (movement of head etc) will NOT actually operate the Phantom 3 pro. I can put up with this controlling the Phantom 3 from the handset (controller) while viewing the results via the goggle sand NOT needing to rely on my iPad as at present which is useless in sunny weather. Am I correct in my assumptions.
Great video thanks. You mentioned the head tracking in the review but not during your flight test. It’s something that I’m particularly interested in for me to purchase. Did you use that feature much while flying? How well does the camera track your head movement? Is there much of a delay between moving your head and the camera moving?
Lovely review Justin.....well done....down to earth and efficient..im filming the land speed record next weekend with the goggs. and cine cams....I enjoyed your review...I like your style....its grounded and to the point....its what people want.....well done you mate....good channel too....diggin it....best wishes from uk .......a little idea for ya......what ive truly leant from shooting in factories and uncomfortable locations is without the goggles and say just. big iPad monitor is you can never get the true depth of field and a genuine scope of how close you are hovering before and object...if you can do a feed or record you could do a vid showing how the goggles professionally allow you to get a grip on how close you can fly beside an object say for doing an engineering shoot on a tower or building......just a thought ....your work is good ....Al
Once again your taking me to school bro. Thanks. I'm wondering if I can use the goggles other than my iPad Air 2. The reason I was looking at these goggles is that I'm having so much issues with sun and glare when I fly with the tablet.
Hey Justin, thanks for another honest review, another great video. I've been a subscriber and fan for sometime now and although I don't own anything you review and probably will not be buying anything soon (retired) but still enjoy and appreciate your work. Just wondering, do these goggles link to the UAV or to the controller? I'm sure that would make a huge difference on the distance they would work. I do own (after saving for some time) a Yuneec Q500+ that I bought a couple of years ago and a few toy grade UAV's, mostly indoor flyers, and would like to see an honest review on the Yuneec. When I bought it there were only a couple quick reviews but enough to convince me to get it. The only down side to having it that it's big and bulky and so becoming disabled shortly after it's arrival I've only flown it a couple of times. I do love the stability of the video it captures and at the time it was the best (in my option) aerial video/photo platform available at the time. But with it's size and my disability wish I could trade it for a Mavic even if I'm no DJI fan. LOL *Dance the Skies*
Great review, great photography and perfect editing. This is the first video of yours that I've seen, and I'm very impressed. After seeing this I'm very comfortable ordering these goggles. Thanks so much.
What a very good and interesting review. At first I thought you liked them, then I thought you hated them, then I thought you liked them again, then I thought you hated them again. But in the end it seems like you do like them so that's what counts. I'm sold...
Great Video!! I noticed when you were flying at the beach you had no cable hooked up to the Goggles. Does the signal go over wifi? Keep up the good work!
Here is a dumb question, but one I cannot find the answer. If you wear glasses, do you use a lens for near or far? I suspect you want reading classes to help see up close (far sighted), correct?
not a dumb question at all. NO, you do not want reading glasses, just as with say the Oculus Rift you need the glasses you normally wear to see far away because your eyes focus at infinity in a headset like this.
Not impressed with mine... HDMI connection for watching movies from laptop sucks. Navigation sucks, too. The rubber seal on face/nose is already falling apart and I've barely tested them out.
Ive looked at the Fatsharks and the DJI goggles. I still haven't figured which. I'm hoping DJI reduces the size of their goggles. They are pretty bulky.
Awesome review, thanks for makeing me even more sure, that it's the right choice to invest in a pair of these. You said in the video that you were doing another video with the Spark - is it ready yet?
Hi, nice review! question. can you use DJI googles and the phone or ipad at the same time? so if i have a problem with conection or something else you can bring back the drone without problems, thanks!
what sort of information do you see on the goggles by tapping the function button and scrolling on the side. that would be helpful to know. I want to buy a drone but after hearing what you were saying about not being able to see the shots very well with the phone that is my biggest concern. my understanding is you need to be able to fly line of sight for non-commercial use another words recreational user. by having the goggles on I feel that it takes away the line of sight portion of that rule since you don't know if anybody is around you or going to walk in front of you what is your thoughts on that. also do they work for the DJI Maverick air
Great video Justin. I really like idea that you don't necessarily have to use your phone with these goggles. One quick question though: When flying my Mavic I like using the map with satellite view, is that not possible without the phone?
Justin I like your honest reviews of the two googles of DJI and Fat Shark, I am a fan of DJI quads and Fat Shark googles, but wearing the DJI googles is not for me, it looks too heavy to wear more than ten minutes.
Drone Camps RC everything with screen has a display driver and CPU or think like that ( smartphones display goes right into cpu) and they need to somehow transfer signal from receiver to display driver (if its not just one chip) and if you find that cable or solder join on PCB you funded video out. Then you can get eachine DVR recorder and connect it up. But more tech they needed to push in that small place harder it is to solder or find.
are you sure it's that easy with digital images? I think you're more talking about analog video (which can be taken easily from one yellow cable, but the flat cables that normally attach to digital displays - I think they're encoded in some form. maybe it's "just" hdmi signal - but you again have to find out the pin-layout to the HDMI... I wouldnt be able to mod this - but hopefully you're right and someone hacks them in this way :) You can for sure NOT use a cheap analog DVR to record this type of HDMI video!
Just bought a pair. Purchased them with a Mavic pro used. I’ve been dreaming of this all my life and it’s here! Thanks for the review!
Ordered a refurbished set for 279.. been practicing / working my way up from beginner models to currently a Holystone gps drone.. I have a Mavic and a Phantom 3 standard that I haven't flown yet.. the goggles will be amazing! The clunky phone interface is annoying.. thanks for the quality review!

Just an update to an old video. iPhone 8XR can easily burn through 4 flights running DJI app with plenty of charge left.

Man I just ordered a pair. The Race Edition... Didnt realize I couldnt record direct for my mini quads!!! Now I know... Geeez. Look like i still gotta get some Dominators....
+Dwayne Casey I think the race edition does have Dvr
Nice review, I'm about ready to pull the trigger. Amazon is selling refurbished ones for $299, which is pretty irresistible, especially with being able to return at Kohl's is they don't work for me, and 12-month equal pay at 0% with my Amazon VISA. The planets are aligned!
Allow me to do this - I meant to write in my previous comment. I understand it will be for VIEWING the video ONLY and that the goggles (movement of head etc) will NOT actually operate the Phantom 3 pro. I can put up with this controlling the Phantom 3 from the handset (controller) while viewing the results via the goggle sand NOT needing to rely on my iPad as at present which is useless in sunny weather. Am I correct in my assumptions.
Great video thanks.
You mentioned the head tracking in the review but not during your flight test. It’s something that I’m particularly interested in for me to purchase. Did you use that feature much while flying? How well does the camera track your head movement? Is there much of a delay between moving your head and the camera moving?
I would wait until they get smaller.
I wish I had waited!
I love your full screen, but Where's the menu overlays?
Thanks for the honest review. We need those as it's a lot of money to invest in all this gear.
Lovely review Justin.....well done....down to earth and efficient..im filming the land speed record next weekend with the goggs. and cine cams....I enjoyed your review...I like your style....its grounded and to the point....its what people want.....well done you mate....good channel too....diggin it....best wishes from uk .......a little idea for ya......what ive truly leant from shooting in factories and uncomfortable locations is without the goggles and say just. big iPad monitor is you can never get the true depth of field and a genuine scope of how close you are hovering before and object...if you can do a feed or record you could do a vid showing how the goggles professionally allow you to get a grip on how close you can fly beside an object say for doing an engineering shoot on a tower or building......just a thought ....your work is good ....Al
Fantastic review! I'm going to get a pair of these!
Perfect review! Thanks for your time, really nicely done!
After Your review I'm sure that I'll buy these too. Thank You.
If you move your head looking around the gimbal of the drone points too?
Mistake at 8 min mark? Fatshark+battery weight not 800 gram but 0.8pound. 3 times less than dji.
You can download video from your drone to the micro SD card on the DJI goggles to watch and play back anytime...
+Rob Simpson yes. I know you can playback but no recording
You can use these goggles with the Mavic Air as well.
very helpfull!! sub for sure. thanks for sharing your knowlege i appreciate the content
Once again your taking me to school bro. Thanks. I'm wondering if I can use the goggles other than my iPad Air 2. The reason I was looking at these goggles is that I'm having so much issues with sun and glare when I fly with the tablet.
I use them with my Mavic pro and no iPhone or tablet. Just using the remote buttons to record and fly.
That's what's up. Thank you.
Hey Justin, thanks for another honest review, another great video. I've been a subscriber and fan for sometime now and although I don't own anything you review and probably will not be buying anything soon (retired) but still enjoy and appreciate your work.
Just wondering, do these goggles link to the UAV or to the controller? I'm sure that would make a huge difference on the distance they would work.
I do own (after saving for some time) a Yuneec Q500+ that I bought a couple of years ago and a few toy grade UAV's, mostly indoor flyers, and would like to see an honest review on the Yuneec. When I bought it there were only a couple quick reviews but enough to convince me to get it. The only down side to having it that it's big and bulky and so becoming disabled shortly after it's arrival I've only flown it a couple of times. I do love the stability of the video it captures and at the time it was the best (in my option) aerial video/photo platform available at the time.
But with it's size and my disability wish I could trade it for a Mavic even if I'm no DJI fan. LOL
*Dance the Skies*
Great review, great photography and perfect editing. This is the first video of yours that I've seen, and I'm very impressed. After seeing this I'm very comfortable ordering these goggles. Thanks so much.
+IamTheGoofus you’re welcome ! Thanks for watching 🔥
Very in depth - thanks for sharing!
What a very good and interesting review. At first I thought you liked them, then I thought you hated them, then I thought you liked them again, then I thought you hated them again. But in the end it seems like you do like them so that's what counts. I'm sold...
+Ozzie Alarcon 😂👌🏻. It's a love hate relationship.
THANKS!!! I'm sold
are they good for my 2.4gig P4?
Any Review on the new DJI Race Edition Goggles?
Great Video!! I noticed when you were flying at the beach you had no cable hooked up to the Goggles. Does the signal go over wifi? Keep up the good work!
Here is a dumb question, but one I cannot find the answer. If you wear glasses, do you use a lens for near or far? I suspect you want reading classes to help see up close (far sighted), correct?
not a dumb question at all. NO, you do not want reading glasses, just as with say the Oculus Rift you need the glasses you normally wear to see far away because your eyes focus at infinity in a headset like this.
Not impressed with mine... HDMI connection for watching movies from laptop sucks. Navigation sucks, too. The rubber seal on face/nose is already falling apart and I've barely tested them out.
Ive looked at the Fatsharks and the DJI goggles. I still haven't figured which. I'm hoping DJI reduces the size of their goggles. They are pretty bulky.
Are these compatible with the dji mini mavic drone?
Great review, thank you! What case are you using to hold the goggles and Mavic?
great review, you must use cable to connect to DJI Spark right?
Awesome review, thanks for makeing me even more sure, that it's the right choice to invest in a pair of these.
You said in the video that you were doing another video with the Spark - is it ready yet?
That was worth watching, thanks... so what is the SD slot used for?
@Ryan Corsaut Wow, so you take the SD out of the drone and insert it in the goggles... that's a bit disappointing. Thanks for the response.
Nice vid but can you make a vid with the pre flight set up including the compass calibration with no mobile device?
Dang wish this would work with holystone drones :(
Don't you need to connect the P4P via micro HDMI port, to the controller to make them work, Unless you buy the new Occusinc P4P v2.0. now.
I'm really asking why there's pretty much no info about DJI LiPo batteries in their products such as the RC controlers for to the drones.
Hi, nice review! question. can you use DJI googles and the phone or ipad at the same time? so if i have a problem with conection or something else you can bring back the drone without problems, thanks!
what sort of information do you see on the goggles by tapping the function button and scrolling on the side. that would be helpful to know. I want to buy a drone but after hearing what you were saying about not being able to see the shots very well with the phone that is my biggest concern. my understanding is you need to be able to fly line of sight for non-commercial use another words recreational user. by having the goggles on I feel that it takes away the line of sight portion of that rule since you don't know if anybody is around you or going to walk in front of you what is your thoughts on that. also do they work for the DJI Maverick air
Good job Justin! I own the DJI googles. I love them with the exception of having to wear reading glasses with them.
look up focus-fixers.com made my goggles enjoyable for $35
Awesome review ... thank you
Thank you!
Great video Justin. I really like idea that you don't necessarily have to use your phone with these goggles. One quick question though: When flying my Mavic I like using the map with satellite view, is that not possible without the phone?
as I recall: no map on the goggles
You should make an updated video with the newer Racing Edition goggles!
Hey Justin, thanks a lot for this nice review. I'm going to buy me a set of those goggles 😄
Great review.
Justin I like your honest reviews of the two googles of DJI and Fat Shark, I am a fan of DJI quads and Fat Shark googles, but wearing the DJI googles is not for me, it looks too heavy to wear more than ten minutes.
+Sterling DJI should lighten up the next design
You can make video out! Just find cable or pin that goes from receiver to screens solder then cable and ground and you have video out :)
Nice. For our testing though we could not make that work. It was a bummer. Good to know we can make it work. Thanks Buzz.
Drone Camps RC everything with screen has a display driver and CPU or think like that ( smartphones display goes right into cpu) and they need to somehow transfer signal from receiver to display driver (if its not just one chip) and if you find that cable or solder join on PCB you funded video out. Then you can get eachine DVR recorder and connect it up. But more tech they needed to push in that small place harder it is to solder or find.
+BuzzCola 3 nice tip. But I wouldn't risk messing up my goggles and voiding any warranty. Sounds cool though.
Drone Camps RC Ok, it is good for cheap Google without DVR.
are you sure it's that easy with digital images? I think you're more talking about analog video (which can be taken easily from one yellow cable, but the flat cables that normally attach to digital displays - I think they're encoded in some form. maybe it's "just" hdmi signal - but you again have to find out the pin-layout to the HDMI... I wouldnt be able to mod this - but hopefully you're right and someone hacks them in this way :)
You can for sure NOT use a cheap analog DVR to record this type of HDMI video!
Quick question can these googles be hacked and bring a FPV Analogue signal via the HDMI Imput?
