I'm confused. Are you talking about the white
goggles or the RE
goggles. The regular white
goggles link directly to the drone not the controller. I've used my
goggles ( not the RE version) several times along with the
smart controller and my
Mavic 2 zoom.

Fair point. Which ones are you asking about Cap. The White or the RE's?
It does matter a bit because the white are Occusync 1.0 and the RE's are Occusync 2.0, which do have significant differences, believe it or not. Heres a good link that explains the differences in Occusync 1 & 2.
In this guide we break down DJI OcuSync, showing you the difference bettwen it and DJI Lightbridge and a few charts of compatibility with
DJI Goggles.

Now, regarding the Mr Fields statement of how the
Goggles communicate directly with the drone.
I agree, but theres more to it than that.
Both the White & RE communicate w/ the drone, but they both, also communicate with the RC.
Its a Master/Slave relationship (which I recently learned myself... See link below), where as the Main RC (SRC or M2 RC) is the Master and the
Goggles are the Slave. Its a 3 way cooperative communication happening between the RC, AC and
Goggles, which is fairly complex.
Yes, u can perform some flight manuevers w/o the master RC connected but the distance and height are limited until the master RC is connected and logged into DJI servers.
Finally a no wind top ten day at 75F. I got the chance to try my RE's with the
M2P! Through the summer of 18, when i got the RE's, i could only get 400-500 feet out until the famous VID FREEZE occured. I have been watching the many threads on these forums regarding the Short range issues. DJI...

Occusync 2.0's SDR (software defined radio) based system (vs Occusync 1's Hardware based system uses a custom mixture of RF modulation protocols FHSS and OFDM, which are what make it so capable, but also, complex.
If this Original Post was referring to the White
Goggles, I really dont know if it will work with the SRC, but I believe it should, as they worked with the
Mavic 2, after the fw update they released a bit after the M2 release, however, itll only operate on 2.4Ghz.
I can say that the SRC works with the
Goggles RE, but I am not as lucky as Roamer105, in that my RE's still stunt the otherwise great range I have with the
Mavic 2, when using it without the RE linked.
Its alot of, possibly unsolicited, information, I know, but I hope it helps someone. I found it all pretty interesting when I first looked into it all, back when my RE's first showed their flaws.
Good day
