    DJI focus problem

    Hi Corpral, you can work out the strength of a lens by measuring its focal length in meters and finding the inverse. For example, focal length of 50cm is 0.5meters. The inverse of this is 2. Therefore the strength of the lens is +2 diopters. If you add two lenses together the combined strength...

    Goggles slipping off my head, anyone else?

    I agree. PVC or 3D printed in matching white would be a better option. Aluminium was easier for me to prototype however and it dosn't seem to affect functionality (I did PVC tape the inner side). Head shape is definitely the problem. DJI Goggles seem to work much better on Asian heads than...

    Goggles slipping off my head, anyone else?

    Here is version 2 of.my DJI Goggles stabiliser snap-on, now with adjustable angle. Note soft black rubber cushion instead of previous sheepskin. Very lightweight and comfortable. Almost impossible to shake off my goggles now.

    Yes, I guess to each their own. Ha ha.

    Goggles slipping off my head, anyone else?

    I have just put my DJI Goggles on the kitchen digital scales (very accurate). By using two pivot points, one for the front of the rim and one for the back of the rim I was able to assess the weight distribution for the visor in the up position and in the down position. In the down position it...

    DJI focus problem

    It appears that, instead of correcting the focus problem for free, DJI is actually capitalising on this design fault by selling corrective lenses through their DJI Store for the excessive sum of $49 AUS !! Is this the real reason DJI is not admitting to this design fault? If so then this is a...

    Goggles slipping off my head, anyone else?

    The balance of the DJI Goggles is very poorly designed. With the visor in the down position, 75% of the total weight of the goggles is on the front rim, 25% on the rear rim. With the visor in the up position this becomes much worse with 85% of the total weight on the front rim. This means there...

    DJI focus problem

    For all those people having focus problems with their DJI Goggles, I re-measured the distance from the lens to the LCD screen and it is 7 cm. This means the DGI Goggles screen is at a virtual distance of 23cm or 9 inches. If you can focus your eyes on this distance then the screen should be...

    DJI focus problem

    The DJI Goggles have a fixed focus requiring the user to focus at less than 12 inches! Nobody watches TV at that distance. Stupid design fault.

    focus-fixers instead of reading glasses

    The DJI Goggles have a fixed focus requiring the user to focus at less than 12 inches! Nobody watches TV at that distance. Stupid design fault.

    Dji goggles.....big disappointment

    The DJI Goggles have a fixed focus requiring the user to focus at less than 12 inches! Nobody watches TV at that distance. Stupid design fault.

    DJI focus problem

    At the very least DJI should be supplying their Goggles corrective lenses free of charge as an interim work-around for the design flaw in this product.

    DJI focus problem

    If the DJI Goggles came with a lens power of 12.5 diopters in the first place instead of 10 diopters you would not need to use your reading glasses and you would also not need to purchase a pair of DJI focus inserts!

    DJI focus problem

    For many people the preferred virtual distance to the screen whilst the drone is in flight is INFINITY, as this is where the eye would be focused from the camera perspective. In this case the calculation gives a revised lens power of 13.33 diopters, an increase of 3.33 diopters!
