Has anyone flown from inside their car with goggles?

The title says it all, I just ordered a pair of goggles and I'm afraid of people walking up on me if I'm out in public. Will the transmission work from inside a stationary car? If so has anyone found out how to mod the googles for an external antenna mount? Any ideas on what the range would be from inside a car with the transmitter and headset?

I've had people use the goggles inside the house while I flew the Mavic outside. Range wasn't as good as outside (obviously) but it did work fine for quite a bit of distance. I suspect that a car would be even better (don't take off from the car though!).

Anything in between you and your Mavic (either with the RC or the goggles) will impede the transmission and reduce the range. The more between you and your MP, the more the interference.

Windows up car running with the AC on the only way to fly! It was probably 95 to 100 out that day.

it was 98 degrees today and did a madian with my googles with my ac blasting from inside the car! I only took it out to about 500 feet but everything was still in HD without any drop off!

how does the temperature help? or do you just want to feel comfy lol

 

[fastturtle]

Just comfy, didn't want to cook my brain in the hot car! It's pretty nice flying in your car, less bugs and people to bother you.

Did u have to open sunroof/windows for more range?

I’ve flown from inside the car but I have to say it makes driving nearly impossible.
