Couple of questions about goggles.

[panaceabeachbum]

Im sure all this has been covered but my search skills are weak, so delete is in the wrong place etc.

Are the goggles stand alone or must they be plugged into the control to be usable?

Can I continue to fly with my Ipad plugged in the control and let my wife wear the goggles to see what I am seeing as I fly?

Can I sync the goggles to my buddies mavic while he is using his goggles so we can both enjoy the ride?

Is it possible to view all the telemetry in the goggles? can this be toggled on and off in viewable?

If im wearing the goggles how do I toggle between pov and map view?

If telemetry is viewable thru goggles do they need to be plugged into the control via the USB port?

Im making the transition from a large 3dr quad and fatsharks to the mavic because of flight time. I sure miss the ability to fly from a 44" 4k television.

Everything Im curios about above is avail with my 3dr except the nearly 30 min flight times

They work wirelessly with the Mavic.

Yes.

Can I sync the goggles to my buddies mavic while he is using his goggles so we can both enjoy the ride?

Yes.

Yes.

No.

Check out the following reviews for more information about the DJI Goggles:

Very good,

Can I toggle between map view and POV from the goggles or does this need to be assigned to c1 or c2?

Cant watch vids at work so have to search and ask.

 

[msinger]

I don't think there is a map view. Per the DJI Goggles FAQ, C1 and C2 are reassigned to the Fn/Back buttons when the goggles are connected.

DJI site says works with a variety of devices, "third party" and "other compatible hdmi devices"

what does this mean? Can I use them with my 10meter video receiver?

 

[panaceabeachbum]

Many thanks, I dont know how I missed the FAQ

Meaning they can essentially become monitors for any device that outputs HDMI like a blue ray player or computer. They do not output the HDMI signal from the goggles though.

You should watch the "Introducing the DJI Goggles" video by DJI on YouTube. It basically answers all of your questions. ;-)

 

[panaceabeachbum]

Ill watch tonight, boss doesnt allow vids at work and im here from 7am till 8pm, hard to find time. But he does let us fly qauds LOL

 

[panaceabeachbum]

last question, when will they be avail, I hesitated on pre order, we talking weeks or months until these will be commonly available?

 

[msinger]

DJI should start shipping pre-orders near the end of this month. If you didn't already pre-order somewhere, then you might be waiting for a while.

 

[panaceabeachbum]

Ok Ill let you guys flesh out the problem units.

I highly doubt they are going to be problematic. They were held off for so long to flesh out the problems. You might be waiting for months until the next batch is ready. I am looking forward to getting my shipment notification on the 20th.

 

[panaceabeachbum]

Well thats what Im telling myself anyway

Well thats what Im telling myself anyway

Good luck with that. I'll be enjoying my goggles in the mean time.

For the O.P. - I think an nvidia shield (which does have HDMI out) - is the way to use your big television. It should also be possible to connect 2 RC controllers and use the second one as a slave with the nvidia tablet connected to the monitor.
