Bardwell does a better job with journalistic integrity than almost any UA-camr and certainly most big outlets. This is why you're one of the most beloved creators in this hobby!
It's actually so refreshing to see someone admitting when they are wrong, and factually correcting things and moving on. I think every hobby needs a Joshua Bardwell, and FPV community is lucky to have you. As a noob to this hobby, your content is absolutely essential to avoid tons of mistakes. /me is off building your 5" drone :)
Regarding the video out for the o3 unit is this only for android as I’ve tried and tried on iPhone and just get device not supported on the v2 Googles🤔
Wonder why there is gps coordinates that are all 0’s at 19:17 when you show the set file from the o3 air unit.. so they planned something to give it the gps info in the future.
Great video, thanks for this. One question, at time 20:20 the explanation of the FOV does not line up with what you are showing. maybe I am mistaken, but I'd be grateful for some clarification here. What I am noticing is the FOV changes when you arm if using > 60fps. For example, if I am in 4:3, 2.7k, 120fps, when I arm, the image FOV goes down (zooms in). If I select 100fps it zooms less, and at 60fps there is no zoom, the image looks same as when not armed. The same is true if using 1080, 120fps crops most, 100fps less, then 60fps does not crop at all. Again, this only happens at the moment you arm. after you disarm, 10sec later of so and it goes back to wider FOV. Has anyone else noted this. I am running o3 firmware 01/02.00.00 (latest as of MAR 10. 2023) , on V2 googles (firmware 01.06.00.00).
FYI I believe that that the newest beta firmware (the one that gives you backwards compatibility with vista) for the goggles (and therefore likely the air unit) might disable the ability to use the hacks, so we might lose that as the firmware updates roll out.
@@andytroy oh okay, sick news! No way they would be selling O3 in EU without any - user config way against the rules - option to increase for normal range.
In winter if the goggles are too cold, they fog also from the heat of your face. I use hand warmer to warm the lenses if they are too cold and are getting foggy.
Hi. I need some help, maybe you have encountered this. The SD Card on the O3 Unir is not recording. It only records on Goggles. Tried everything, changed cards, updated. Nothing works. Any idea how to solve the problem ? Thanks
Hello guys, i have a question. I have O3 air unit and dji goggles v2. When i connect my goggles with my phone (iPhone 13 mini) nothing happens on my dji fly app. I cant get any video. I have searched all over the internet and can’t find the solution. Please help
I’ve mirrored my phone to the tv 📺 no cables , plan to add a tv into my trunk mounted . Or even put on a table . This works I flew outside watching my home tv .
“If” DJI somehow enabled remote ID in their products, they would have to make it so they user could enable/disable it. This is because many people are using their products (goggles/air unit) in sub 250g drones for recreational purposes where RID is NOT required by the FAA.
I can't get the OSD Canvas mode to work? I'm using crossfire and followed the manual to set the MSP UART 4 on and then changing the CLI files. Am I missing something?
I want to use my goggles 2 with a FPV wing setup and I want heads up display like i get on my DJI. How can i do this? i know video can be done with the Caddix system but want to get the other information.
Hi, my airunit O3 is very hot, I can't figure out how powerful it works. I have the FCC hack installed. The power meter showed ~4w in lower state mode and ~12w without it. Can I see the transmission performance in some software? I didn't observe dynamic power changes. The power consumption doesn't differ when in close proximity, even when the signal has almost disappeared. I don't like this approach because why should my airunit O3 operate at maximum power when it's only 5 meters away from me?!
After putting the code in cli in betaflight, to use the osd the quad did not recognise my crossfire receiver no matter what uart it was on, I figured I'll try my crossfire on sbus then it recognised the receiver, so having to use crossfire on sbus.
Hey Joshua would it be possible for you to make a video about the current dangerous issues with O3 and Goggles 3 with latest firmware to warn all people who did not notice about the fail of connection during flights? I got that problem several times like many many other users. If DJI won‘t warn there customers so it is really important that we pilots help each other out! Thx and keep up your really amazing job here on UA-cam.
please detail your discovery on hdmi signal out from o3 air unit / V2 goggles to a monitor or second pair of goggles : how to what other devices are needed. thank you
Hi Josh, is the O3 exclusive with DJI's goggles? I'm new to the game and want to put together a high quality FPV camera that can function also for action filming. 1. Can you use a third party video receiver with the O3? like a Moneagle monitor? 2. Are there any video systems that are encrypted / secured end to end? I don't like the idea of anyone tuning in to my vtx and spying on me. Thank you
You can only use the DJI Goggles 2 and DJI FPV Goggles V2 with the O3. Nothing else. The O3 air unit is not encrypted as far as I know (maybe it is I'm not sure) but the O3 system doesn't have "audience mode" where anybody can tune in. You have to manually enable the option to broadcast your signal to viewers.
@@JoshuaBardwell Thank you for your quick response. Well that nips the O3 in the butt for me. FPV world is a bit confusing. Thanks for you videos. They're helping. Can you please help point me in the right direction. I'm looking for a digital FPV camera VTX system that is high end (4K) and has a 2 or 3 axis R/C tilting gimbal. Similar to Mini 2's camera, but better, and can fit in a 4" quad LR cruiser. Have you seen anyone hack the video feed out of an action camera to VTX as a FPV feed, while the camera records 4K video to a microSD? Is video transmission secure? Can anyone tune into your drone's broadcast channel? I'm looking for vtx privacy. Thanks again. You rock dude
Can you switch from 16:9 to 4:3 during flight? I fly with high uptilt on 16:9 on my V1 because I feel like it's more immersive, then switch to 4:3 at the end so it's easier to land. I just have to stop recording, then I can switch on the V1 with the original black DJI controller toggle wheel
@@JoshuaBardwell I thought you could access the menus with the grey DJI controller's toggle wheel, without releasing the sticks. That's how I do it on the black one.
Hi great video BTW, I have a crazy question, is it possible to use this camera as an action camera only, without video transmission. and powered from the USB C port, I like the size of this unit and it would be great to mount the camera on a helmet and stick the main unit on the side of the helmet and power through a USB connection, and the price is great, so is it possible to opperate this without goggles. In other words power up and start recording from your phone ??. Also would the on screen data be recorded or can it be turned off on the internal video recording. Thank you in advance.
Hi everyone , I have. Question anybody know why all the time I use my Nazgûl 5 whit the air unit 03 and my googles v2 ha ve to bind them again and again is really frustrated I know the quad is no the problem
There are too many comments to check, but if you can get video to your phone, can you cast your phone to a TV? I have a 55 inch TCL Roku TV that I can cast Apple devices like iPhone and iPad to it. So essentially I can cast the goggle view if it's appearing on my iPhone, correct?
Hi there. Wick question. Is digiview still only supported by android and not on an Apple device? Im looking to have feed viewed on a upcoming project and hope it does through the an iPhone. Any suggestions if possible? Thank you 🙏
THis might be odd quesiton but is there away to control DJI O3 Air Unit from my pc/micro controller? not use the DJI remote? I want to try to automate a flight path but use Machine Learning model to check the video. But for somereason I can't find if there is away to send the remote control command to the DJI O3 Air Unit not using the DJI remote control
Ok im having trouble with my o3 air unit. When I look in the goggles everything is fine. Then I arm everything is still fine but then when I go to take off then the video connection instantly gets disconnected and then it reconnects again? Any problems heared like that before lol? I tryed changing voltage settings etc and nothing is working, I think its either a bug that dji needs to fix or my air unit is just faulty. But sometimes it Flys great with no problems. But I definitely don't like the fact that sometimes ill have to disarm because I can't see anything on take off lol. Any help much appreciated
Hey Joshua, please include the link for the USB-dongle you are using on Android devices for HDMI out with affiliate link. I am not the only one who would go for it after watching this video I believe. Cheers!
Ive never heard of esc pwm frequency before. How do you change it (i dont need like specifics im just wondering if you cahange it from your transmitter or googles) and what does it do?
Neither, it is changed through an ESC firmware configurator, wether BLheli_S, BL32, AM32 depends on the hardware obviously. They all use different configurators. Edit: search ESC configuration, it controls aspects of the motor commutation
@@lemonsquareFPV ah ok i see. How does the frequency of this specific part change things in the motors? I keep learning about different parts and what their frequency means but then right after I always find out about a changeable frequency somewhere else 😂
@@Sidiann haha, yeah… the rabbit hole always goes deeper :p Higher makes the motors smoother but you lose a bit of power and responsiveness… very generalized. It’s more complicated than that as everything is :p but this is generally true I like the improved flight time and smoothness on most quads with higher PWM, some prefer the opposite, plus certain hardware doesn’t seem to do good in every PWM range. So experimentation is key. Edit: like when you hear about Bluejay… that’s a firmware people run on BLheli_S ESCs to give you similar features to BLHeli_32
sorry worded the last comment and ? wrong so my googles 2 were recording the osd now it says osd could not be recorded wondering its got to be a googles issue im on the newest firmware unless one dropped i don't know about just weird it says cant record osd in the bottom right corner and it says it with bolth air units ive also got the avata and this has never happennd so is it the air units or gooles weird going to fly my Avata soon as the rain lets up 2 days of it now BS hate winter. well gonna try it and see very weird first issue ive had since i got the new system and googles..
@jan doodle strange how ya keyboard warriors always think they know what's best for someone else. Seek knowledge instead of spreading vitriol. I love my job, quitting the rat race was the best decison i ever made.
Hi Joshua, thank you very much for the videos !! I am wondering if there is a solution yet to get video output from the DJI google V2 to an ipad or iphone using the classic air unit ?
This is understood. Just goes to show that we're all learning about this new product together and while we might encounter some concerns, it's great to discover solutions and get best results later on
Very helpful in-depth info, the O3 is very interesting indeed! Been a while since I was serious about my fpv setup but this one's making me so curious.
Does live view works only on android? Plugged my v2 to fly app and it says device is not supported 🤷♂️ 2 options available is avata and dji fpv. No O3 option
Josh Prince of FPV could you do a DJI round up? I have a set of goggles v2 and I dip in and out of the dji news is there still firmware updates that people shouldn't do like in the past or is it all safe now??
One thing that you didn't get wrong but didn't mention is if you are new to HD and have bought into the new system with Goggles 2, unless you bought the goggles from DJI directly you will be stuck staring at your 03 air units sitting on your bench until mid January because DJI decided to withhold their retail partners stock until then. Guess they are hurting for money and really needed to get those initial sales....🤦♂️
MadsTech said that the FCC hack doesnt work on the latest beta firmware... and that the channels you can see are not related to the transmit power... this is VERY confusing. perhaps you can dig more into this.
Anyone having issues with the air unit or googles recording the 0sd I'm wondering what records the osd overlay because when i first installed the 03 air-unit i was recording the osd then all of a sudden yesterday it stopped recording the osd. In my qav s and in my armattan beaver 2 different air units it says now googles screen recording failed and its only recording a clean feed now in video anyone else have this issue also.
Very helpful and appreciative of all the work you do. Some thoughts on hacking the unit to obtain additional channels and cautionary tale. The frequencies these units operate at is within the wireless networking range and has been limited to what appears to be non-overlapping or least interfering frequencies. Either you could be causing your neighbors to become very annoyed with you, or perhaps negatively affect your own wifi without even realizing it IMO
That is the srt file for the air unit. What about the file for goggle's recording? Perhaps the goggle's recording has the latency and the other records on a separate srt file?
That's what I'm telling you. There isn't one on the goggles. Except if you are using V2 goggles then it's there as usual. But on Goggles 2, it's not there.
I just installed the o3 on a new quad with t-motor F7 stack and everything works, except for o3 running time, I do not understand why is overheating like that, is shutting down after few minutes. And is very hot. Any suggestions? Thank you!
is the cam quality for record the same with the v2 googles so is it worth to buy the googles 2 when i have the v2 .... at the end i only want a clear footage on my sd card.
How did you get the Betaflight OSD working in the V2 goggles? Is there a custom osd setting to turn on like on the older versions air units? I updated the goggles and air unit to the latest firmware and everything works except for the Betaflight osd.
When this first came out I guess I assumed that they were a standalone video transmission system that could be used on any fpv platform. Be it a drone or an airplane or even a radio controlled car. I would imagine that it can be done but could this be used with just the goggles for video transmission while using say another company's radio and receiver on a car?
Yes you can use another controller and receiver. But if the O3 is not connected to a flight controller it won't go to full power and performance will be poor.
Great Info thank you, I have a DJI goggles V1 & ten air units/vista's. With this new firmware update will my air unit's still work with the goggles v1? I do want to buy the 'goggles 2' but still need my goggles v1 for analog.
Does anyone know if I can zoom with the 03 air unit? I just converted from flying an Avata to a Nazgul 5 with the 03 and am using my DJI RC2 controller.
The O3 air unit has changeable FOV (wide, narrow, ultra wide) but it only affects the recorded footage and can't be changed without entering the menus. It doesn't have zoom in out like a Mavic etc.
Mr josh I have a huge question. I bought a used 03 air unit off Amazon. My 2 problems is this. Once I tried to activate via consumer drone app it will not pop up activation. Is my used 03 air unit already activated under someone else's account? Also my computer shows that the files in the air unit have video footage of a drone flying around. I have not tried to pair the unit with my V2 goggles. I'm concerned it will not work. Please if u could help me. Btw I have only powered the 03 air unit via USB-C I've read online that the air unit Will Not go into binding mode while being powered via USB-C. Is this true?
How do you deal with the face oils rubbing out on the foam? I've destroyed two DJI foam sets on my V1 goggles wiping it off with a t-shirt after each use
Another important point missed. O3 system needs an armed signal to output full power. Same for upgraded vista type AU as well. This makes O3 system useless for wings without a FC.
There’s workarounds to this. O3 armer and another one can arm the Dji o3 without a fc. The other one even gives you the osd as it has a built in fc. You can also use a hack to make the o3 output full power
Love it that you corrected mistakes and added info. Seems that the new beta killed the hack again. Won't buy it if it can't be hacked... Just had a thought: If you update or active the Air Unit using a VPN "being" in the US shouldn't the Air Unit think to be there and switch to FCC?
Should there be any noticeable differences in terms of control link when using Chimera7 Pro with O3 Air Unit + ELRS 2.4 Commando 8 VS DJI Controller 2?
After testing the 03 today, i was pleased with the goggles dvr view and also the penetration of the video signal, it was not going blocky in the trees where my vistas usually do, the image in the goggles had no jitters but the footage from the 03 air unit had jitters when using rocksteady, i read that this can because the esc's are at a similar frequency, i have 16bit esc on my aircraft so it is not possible to change this as they are not 32bit, well i think this may defeat the object less stabilized video with stabilization on! also the 03 seemed to stop my gps from finding satellites where i had no problem of getting a link with my previous vista, this maybe down to the gps module mounted above the camera and maybe The 03 camera is giving out noise where as the old camera did not affect it. I may upload a comparison video of the dvr and the 2.7k 60fps recording with the inbuilt 20gb storage so not an sd card issue. I hope these issues can be rectified, don't want to think i have wasted money and time.
Hi I have goggles v2 latest firmware Vista older firmware- I can not get video on my iphone dji fly app - do I need to update the vista (nervouse about losing fcc hack) or does it just not work on iphone?
@@JoshuaBardwell regarding video out: does visa work on with dji fly app on android? or does o3 air unit not work on iphones dji fly app? or do I need to get an android phone and install digiview? all of the above??
There is latency information in that srt file. Below the timestamp, there is a “DiffTime” and that is the latency. Actually the timestamp itself shows the latency, you just ise the second timestamp and minus the first one.
It seems like only the goggles can truly know the final latency since only they know when a packet was finally received. But in the other hand, only the vTX knows when a packet was sent, and it's not like they sync their clocks or something. It's a bit of a mystery.
The healthy dose between honesty and accountability is so hard to judge. Don't ever beat yourself up you're appreciated.
i would really appreciate a 20 minute video off fardwell beating himself up. 2 minutes would also be very wel recieved.

@@lemonsquareFPV ah ok i see. How does the frequency of this specific part change things in the motors? I keep learning about different parts and what their frequency means but then right after I always find out about a changeable frequency somewhere else 😂
@@Sidiann haha, yeah… the rabbit hole always goes deeper :p
Higher makes the motors smoother but you lose a bit of power and responsiveness… very generalized. It’s more complicated than that as everything is :p but this is generally true
I like the improved flight time and smoothness on most quads with higher PWM, some prefer the opposite, plus certain hardware doesn’t seem to do good in every PWM range. So experimentation is key.
Edit: like when you hear about Bluejay… that’s a firmware people run on BLheli_S ESCs to give you similar features to BLHeli_32
@@lemonsquareFPV thanks that helps a lot😆
sorry worded the last comment and ? wrong so my googles 2 were recording the osd now it says osd could not be recorded wondering its got to be a googles issue im on the newest firmware unless one dropped i don't know about just weird it says cant record osd in the bottom right corner and it says it with bolth air units ive also got the avata and this has never happennd so is it the air units or gooles weird going to fly my Avata soon as the rain lets up 2 days of it now BS hate winter. well gonna try it and see very weird first issue ive had since i got the new system and googles..
If you make it an hour n a half long, i'll still watch it all 🙌
@jan doodle I'm full-time FPV. I watch bardwell while I work. Seek knowledge so you wont be ignorant 👍

For Dji o3 unit googles 2 is better option for you Joshua?
Which DJI Assistant did you use to flash the firmware to get the OSD running on the v2 goggles? Cause it doesn't work in my case...
Any idea on what the max range is?
timing 4:21 - where to get this wide gray strap )))
It's a 2" "fat strap". They can be purchased at major FPV retailers eg racedayquads getfpv etc.
Hi Joshua, thank you very much for the videos !! I am wondering if there is a solution yet to get video output from the DJI google V2 to an ipad or iphone using the classic air unit ?
V2 goggles yes. Look up "digiview" app on android. Not iPhone though. It doesn't allow access.
Thanks. I'm the sort of guy that likes to deep dive into specs, so this is great.
If my V2 goggles aren't already rooted should I even be concerned about doing it before updating properly to bind with the O3 AU?
If you ever intend to root you should do it before you update firmware at all.
I'll just do it so I have the options in the future
Can the TBS Tango 2 PRO V3 work with Dji o3 air unit ?
Do the v2’s output full resolution to the dji fly app or are they limited to 810p?
This is understood. Just goes to show that we're all learning about this new product together and while we might encounter some concerns, it's great to discover solutions and get best results later on
Thank you for the clarification. Good to know more about the O3.
Very helpful in-depth info, the O3 is very interesting indeed! Been a while since I was serious about my fpv setup but this one's making me so curious.
Does live view works only on android? Plugged my v2 to fly app and it says device is not supported 🤷♂️ 2 options available is avata and dji fpv. No O3 option
That appears to be the case right now.
@@JoshuaBardwell Thank you for reply and all you do for this beautiful hobby 🙏😁
I'm getting the device not supported error on android, did you have to do anything special to make it work?
@@need2revolt not yet 😕
Cameras mounted on stiff 36 inch long 18 ga spring wire can absob all the vibration . I always use a silicone o ring to mount it .
Josh Prince of FPV could you do a DJI round up? I have a set of goggles v2 and I dip in and out of the dji news is there still firmware updates that people shouldn't do like in the past or is it all safe now??
Now that Butter can roll back firmware, it seems like there's no risk of locking yourself out of Root.
Excellent video.....Thank you.
Is the O3 compatible with DJI FPV goggles V1?
One thing that you didn't get wrong but didn't mention is if you are new to HD and have bought into the new system with Goggles 2, unless you bought the goggles from DJI directly you will be stuck staring at your 03 air units sitting on your bench until mid January because DJI decided to withhold their retail partners stock until then. Guess they are hurting for money and really needed to get those initial sales....🤦♂️
Order from DJI, they ship super fast.
@@fpvgiggles and you get 1% back for future orders
DJI hurting for money lol
MadsTech said that the FCC hack doesnt work on the latest beta firmware... and that the channels you can see are not related to the transmit power... this is VERY confusing. perhaps you can dig more into this.
Anyone having issues with the air unit or googles recording the 0sd I'm wondering what records the osd overlay because when i first installed the 03 air-unit i was recording the osd then all of a sudden yesterday it stopped recording the osd. In my qav s and in my armattan beaver 2 different air units it says now googles screen recording failed and its only recording a clean feed now in video anyone else have this issue also.
Very helpful and appreciative of all the work you do. Some thoughts on hacking the unit to obtain additional channels and cautionary tale. The frequencies these units operate at is within the wireless networking range and has been limited to what appears to be non-overlapping or least interfering frequencies. Either you could be causing your neighbors to become very annoyed with you, or perhaps negatively affect your own wifi without even realizing it IMO
That is the srt file for the air unit. What about the file for goggle's recording? Perhaps the goggle's recording has the latency and the other records on a separate srt file?
That's what I'm telling you. There isn't one on the goggles. Except if you are using V2 goggles then it's there as usual. But on Goggles 2, it's not there.
@@JoshuaBardwell ah ok thanks for the clarification 👍
What has better range: O3 Air Unit + Goggles V2 with aftermarket antennas, FCC and 1200mw hack or O3 Air Unit + Goggles 2 with stock antennas?
Props (no pun intended) for the updated video 😊
Does the fcc hack work with old air units and vistas when using goggles 2? Ie does the ham file work with the vistas?
This question can't be answered until the final firmware comes out.
I just installed the o3 on a new quad with t-motor F7 stack and everything works, except for o3 running time, I do not understand why is overheating like that, is shutting down after few minutes. And is very hot. Any suggestions? Thank you!
The O3 overheats and shuts down if you aren't flying. It needs airflow from the props to stay cool.
@@JoshuaBardwell I didn't expect such overheating :)). Thank you for your answer!
is the cam quality for record the same with the v2 googles
so is it worth to buy the googles 2 when i have the v2 .... at the end i only want a clear footage on my sd card.
Recording quality on the v2 goggles is 810p while the goggles 2 are 1080p.
thanks for your anwser @@JoshuaBardwell okay but only the osd record?... I mean there is no change for the footage out of the unit... right?
How did you get the Betaflight OSD working in the V2 goggles? Is there a custom osd setting to turn on like on the older versions air units? I updated the goggles and air unit to the latest firmware and everything works except for the Betaflight osd.
Nothing special. Just updated firmware.
I think you said the screws were M2 on the air unit. I believe they are M1.6 used to replace with longer screws to screw the air unit to frame.
When this first came out I guess I assumed that they were a standalone video transmission system that could be used on any fpv platform. Be it a drone or an airplane or even a radio controlled car. I would imagine that it can be done but could this be used with just the goggles for video transmission while using say another company's radio and receiver on a car?
Yes you can use another controller and receiver. But if the O3 is not connected to a flight controller it won't go to full power and performance will be poor.
Great Info thank you, I have a DJI goggles V1 & ten air units/vista's. With this new firmware update will my air unit's still work with the goggles v1? I do want to buy the 'goggles 2' but still need my goggles v1 for analog.
None of this impact the V1 goggles.
@@cafub2650 what if I buy the goggles 2 and update my air units firmware. Will my old goggle v1 work with those air units?
Does anyone know if I can zoom with the 03 air unit? I just converted from flying an Avata to a Nazgul 5 with the 03 and am using my DJI RC2 controller.
The O3 air unit has changeable FOV (wide, narrow, ultra wide) but it only affects the recorded footage and can't be changed without entering the menus. It doesn't have zoom in out like a Mavic etc.
Hi :).
Do they records onboard in h264 or h265 when using Google V2? And at what baudrate?
Thanks in advance.
Mr josh I have a huge question. I bought a used 03 air unit off Amazon. My 2 problems is this. Once I tried to activate via consumer drone app it will not pop up activation. Is my used 03 air unit already activated under someone else's account? Also my computer shows that the files in the air unit have video footage of a drone flying around. I have not tried to pair the unit with my V2 goggles. I'm concerned it will not work. Please if u could help me. Btw I have only powered the 03 air unit via USB-C I've read online that the air unit Will Not go into binding mode while being powered via USB-C. Is this true?
whats the name of hdmi converter thing?
How do you deal with the face oils rubbing out on the foam? I've destroyed two DJI foam sets on my V1 goggles wiping it off with a t-shirt after each use
This would be more per user related no? Wash your face b4 each session.
Another important point missed. O3 system needs an armed signal to output full power. Same for upgraded vista type AU as well. This makes O3 system useless for wings without a FC.
There’s workarounds to this. O3 armer and another one can arm the Dji o3 without a fc. The other one even gives you the osd as it has a built in fc. You can also use a hack to make the o3 output full power
@angelnunez6476 sounds good but how about some links to all these great options.
@@ror-ys3qp UA-cam doesnt like links, they delete comments with them. Just search up o3 armers or arm hacks.
Question - Can I bind my ELRS reciver to my frsky X9 lite? Sorry doesnt really have to do with this video but rlly need an answer
You would need to buy an ELRS module for the X9 Lite module bay. You can't bind it without an ELRS module.
@@JoshuaBardwell Ok that is what I thought. Thanks!
Ohh yeah 😃😃 My o3 is arriving tomorrow... And I am happy that I have DJI RC PRO remote to have clean feed from V2 thru HDMI ))
If im flying with the o3 would anyone recommend using the dji controller? Im currently using the q7
Can you turn off the betaflight OSD with the "OSD Disable SW" in the modes tab?
I didn't test this but it should work exactly the se as if it's analog so all functions modes and menus should work.
Is it necessary to update Goggles V2 to make them work with O3 Air Unit? If so, whether it makes it impossible to use FCC and 1200mw hack?
Love it that you corrected mistakes and added info.
Seems that the new beta killed the hack again. Won't buy it if it can't be hacked...
Just had a thought: If you update or active the Air Unit using a VPN "being" in the US shouldn't the Air Unit think to be there and switch to FCC?
Nope, the DJI app checks your carrier and stuff, you can't activate without sim card.
@@aviatoFPV Dang!
That makes no sense since activation is done on pc and doesn't require you to plug in your phone. Right?
I wish you would have tried a c to c cable on the v2 goggles to use digiview.
I think I did, didn't I? The V2 goggles work with Digiview.
Should there be any noticeable differences in terms of control link when using Chimera7 Pro with O3 Air Unit + ELRS 2.4 Commando 8 VS DJI Controller 2?
Can I ask dose the goggles 2 and the 03 air unit have the geo zone or no fly zones or is that only on full (DJI quads maverick ect: )
It's only on the full drones.
After testing the 03 today, i was pleased with the goggles dvr view and also the penetration of the video signal, it was not going blocky in the trees where my vistas usually do, the image in the goggles had no jitters but the footage from the 03 air unit had jitters when using rocksteady, i read that this can because the esc's are at a similar frequency, i have 16bit esc on my aircraft so it is not possible to change this as they are not 32bit, well i think this may defeat the object less stabilized video with stabilization on! also the 03 seemed to stop my gps from finding satellites where i had no problem of getting a link with my previous vista, this maybe down to the gps module mounted above the camera and maybe The 03 camera is giving out noise where as the old camera did not affect it. I may upload a comparison video of the dvr and the 2.7k 60fps recording with the inbuilt 20gb storage so not an sd card issue. I hope these issues can be rectified, don't want to think i have wasted money and time.
I just ordered a bnf with the dji 03 air unit.. will it have remote id? I got it from defiance..
No. Only the Avata has RemoteID.
@Joshua Bardwell awesome. Thanks Josh I'll catch u on the next kwad crew event 🤙
looks like u forgot to drop an amazon link for the device that connects to phone to give HDMI output.

Hi I have goggles v2 latest firmware Vista older firmware- I can not get video on my iphone dji fly app - do I need to update the vista (nervouse about losing fcc hack) or does it just not work on iphone?
Did you watch the video?
Vista does not support video out.
You need DJI FPV, AU 03 or avata
🤨@@cafub2650 yes I did watch the video- did you?
I did not see (and still havent seen) the bit where it said that vista does not support video out.
That was not in the Video.
The Flymore app is not for Vista’s.
I am hearing it doesn't work on iPhone yet.
@@JoshuaBardwell regarding video out:
does visa work on with dji fly app on android? or
does o3 air unit not work on iphones dji fly app? or
do I need to get an android phone and install digiview?
all of the above??
There is latency information in that srt file. Below the timestamp, there is a “DiffTime” and that is the latency. Actually the timestamp itself shows the latency, you just ise the second timestamp and minus the first one.
Are you sure?
How is the air unit supposed to know the latency at the receiving end?
If you look at them, 33-33-34ms, it just tell you the delta T between log entries
It seems like only the goggles can truly know the final latency since only they know when a packet was finally received. But in the other hand, only the vTX knows when a packet was sent, and it's not like they sync their clocks or something. It's a bit of a mystery.
What the heck is that on your V2 lenses 04:05 Also cool strap, what is it? 04:20
is it possible to switch on/off recording in flight?
Yes. By touching the side panel of the goggles.
@@JoshuaBardwell only Dji Googles 2? Not fpv v2?
I don't quite understand, so V2 doesn't support canvas mode?
The v2 does support MSP display port same as the goggles 2.
