2 Goggles, 1 Mavic - requires 2 remotes

[FPVme]

I didn't get around tonight to testing this (got tied up working on my car).

Are you saying when you use the 2nd pair of goggles, the display that's hooked to the controller goes out? It doesn't seem like that should be allowed to happen. I won't have time to play with this tomorrow or Friday unfortnately. Saturday though I have some flying time planned.

Yes. The RC still works. But the Live view to the iPad/phone or whatever you have plugged into the RC goes out. You can still control the Mavic. You just don't see the live video feed on the iPad/phone. It changes to the map view.

Now I am confused. You have two googles working at the same time with only one controller?

One controller with iPad (that only can show map view) + Main googles + Second goggles (that only display what the main goggles show). Is that correct?

If so that is not one of the modes described in the documentation and while not ideal, it is better than requiring two controllers.

No. Sorry. I said that wrong. I do lose the rc. When you activate the second pair of goggles it breaks the connection to the remote control. If you bind the rc to the Mavic again you lose the connection to one of the goggles.

 

[Lelantos]

Okay, so you can use two goggles but the primary pair is used to control the Mavic, the second pair is just for spectating and the remote gets disconnected and serves no purpose?

That means you can run two goggles at once without ever involving the remote, or do you need to use the remote to begin the connection process?

Ok. I just tested this. If you connect two pairs of goggles the primary pair has control just like if it were the only one connected. Head tracking the whole bit.
The second pair is the spectator. They can't do anything but watch.
The remote still functions normally but the screen you are using iPad/phone has no video feed. It shows the map view.
I connected everything then shut everything off and powered up again and it held the same. Both goggles, primary, secondary, remote control but no live video just map view on the screen.
I still need the remote to control the drone. You can't do that from the screen set up like this. You could fly with just the goggles but I'm not going to try it. That's a little to hairy for me.

Ok I have found a solution that works great for me. I use the first goggles like normal, then I set up the second goggles with this dongle setup, which allows me to display what is on the ipad in the second goggle without losing the display on the ipad itself. Now the pilot can still view the ipad, while two additional views use the goggles. RC Groups - View Single Post - Official DJI Goggles ***Owners Thread***

This isn't so bad. As long as you can still use the remote and primary goggles normally, the second set of goggles are just for spectating. Silly to have to lose the live view on the iPad.

Still, this scenario is not in the documentation. I wonder if you can add a third pair of goggles for spectating?

That is what I would call a "work around". Not a bad solution, but with the technology built into these goggles, you should not have to do that.

Yes, they should work out of the box, but I'm trying to provide a solution for those who don't want to send their second pair of goggles back because of this issue.

I'm not sure because when you enter the Advanced setup for the goggles it asks the question; is this setup for one pair or two pair of goggles?
And all the verbiage says primary and secondary.
I guess if I ever run into someone with another set of goggles we could try it. It might be good for coaching as in the driver's ed scenario.

I wondered about this Fred. I've been looking at cable and connectors but haven't taken the plunge yet.

You should post what you used and how you set it up. I'd be interested to see it!

Silly to have to lose the live view on the iPad.

I thought so too.

What's the deal with everyone calling them "googles". I can't stop laughing every time I see it. XD

Umm auto correct?

Autocorrect won't correct goggles to googles. As a matter of fact, I don't think googles is a word.
