    Goggles

    Hey guys I know it’s probably super easy but I can’t figure out which direction I’m facing when using my goggles RE? I watched a video on this and I used the GPS mode I can see where the drone is but can’t figure out what direction I’m facing. When I think I’m facing the drone I lift my goggles...

    Smart Controller

    Has anyone purchased from one of these Shopify sites like the one below that ships from China? This store is called [email protected] and they are advertising the SC for $324.99. Any advice would be greatly appreciated thanks guys.

    Ordering DJI Smart Controller from China

    Hey guys I was considering purchasing my SC from one of these China sites as well. Has anyone on our forum purchased a SC or know anyone who has from one of these China dealers? If so what can you tell us about your experience & the quality of the SC from there?

    Smart Controller

    Shoot sorry Mavic maniacs I see where you mentioned that you were flying over 2km with no issues that’s a big help thank you. So now it’s a question of do I sacrifice picture quality for range? Or do I continue to wait for DJI to come out with a fix for the range issues with the RE? Or do I...

    Smart Controller

    I hear you and trust me not something I want to do which is why I purchased the RE goggles to begin with. When you used your friends while version did you experience any range issues?

    Smart Controller

    Thanks msinger after replying to this thread and doing more research I found those same results. So this is my plan however I would like to get thoughts from more experienced pilots before I go through all the trouble. As previously mentioned I just received my new goggles RE on Friday so I’m...

    RE Goggles & Smart Controller using HDMI

    Hey guys any further updates on testing the goggles RE with the SC?

    Smart Controller

    This is very helpful information & greatly appreciated thank you! In regards to connecting the goggles to the SC using the included HDMI cable & it resolving the range issues with the goggles RE have you personally tested this setup? If yes how far were you able to go with the goggles RE...

    Smart Controller

    Yes I included some links below that discuss a few issues that have been experienced with the new smart controller and that has kept me from purchasing thus far. Again it’s such a shame because I’ve always wanted a DJI drone and have been so happy with my new Mavic 2 Zoom and standard controller...

    Smart Controller

    Hey guys I was considering buying the smart controller as well until I read posts about it having signal / range issues. Is this still an issue? I would love to have the SC but not at the expense of losing range or having drop outs (I’m already dealing with that now with my new goggles RE LoL)

    DJI Goggles 1080p HD Immersive FPV Drone Accessory (Racing Edition)

    Has anyone found a fix to the range issue? I just got my new Mavic 2 Zoom and DJI RE goggles and I’m having the lost signal issue. I have only used the goggles once and did not use the pagoda antenna so I’ll be sure to use that next time I go out. I have the 0700 firmware which was the latest...
