2D Goggles so I can use DJI Go 4?

I found this old thread about modifying a cheap 3D goggle (google cardboard) to use for DJI GO:

Google Cardboard HooToo VR 2D FPV viewer modification

I had this info in someone else thread but decided to put my own post. Here is a cheap VR viewer modification. This is NOT 3D but 2D. You are looking at one whole screen, just greatly magnified. It is just a basic Google Cardboard style VR viewer "HooToo" brand name. I did a lot of playing...

And I wonder the same thing as the author. Since the image is 2D, the FPV implementations like DJI Goggles, Litchi, DroneVR have to convert the image to use as FPV, cutting the resolution in half, getting rid of information, not to mention general discomfort with 3D (I have a lot).

Why don't they sell solutions to mount our mobile running DJI GO to our faces directly? I would be much cheaper and flexible.That said I found something that might work, but it seem almost not available anymore (no demand?).

I wonder if anybody might thought of a better (and cheap) idea for using DJI GO under the sun.

Sounds cheap.

Even if those can work to get you see GO4, it would be pretty hard to access all controls & menus on the screen.

The Epson Moverio BT-300 is the best choice but it is expensive
At 5m the virtual screen size is equivalent to 80inches

The BT-300 looks interesting but how hard is it to get used to them?

Mr.G

Not hard at all if you use the screen to fly with in a normal phone setup, if you watch the drone in the sky it's a little bit harder.

The touch pad interface takes the longest to get used to

I made a simple cardboard shield for my tablet. I works somewhat, but is bulky and light leaks in through the viewport. The biggest disadvantage is that it makes it inconvenient to touch the screen.

How about something like this?

Support a "selfie stick" from a hat or helmets and perhaps shoulder supports. Put a tablet mount on it. If well enough supported, the tablet could suspend in front of your face say 12" away, leaving enough room to use the touch screen. Include a sunshield from hat to tablet. It might sound and look a bit silly, but would it work?

I had the same problem with finding a solution for the Mavic Mini. Finally I got the XIMMERSE Visor X goggles and modified them with additional sun shields, see:

Mavic mini goggles, XIMMERSE Visor X sun shields by Gerd_S

I am used to fly my drones with fpv goggles. DJI has introduced the Mavic Mini which I was eager for, but they don't yet offer any goggle support, neither for their own DJI Goggles nor via VR mode within their Fly app. So I searched for options and found the XIMMERSE Visor X, which works with...

This works for DJI Fly app as well as for the GO4 app or Litchi. For operating the app I am using a one-handed Bluetooth controller which enables a mouse cursor on your mobile device.

Nice! I will try something like this when mine arrives. As I said, I really wonder why not more people are interested in something like this. I also saw something similar to Visor X that comes with a different solution for sun shades, see here:

May I know which Bluetooth controller you are using? Tks

I am using this one:

VR Primus® Bluetooth Fernbedienung | Controller: Amazon.de: Elektronik

VR Primus® Bluetooth Fernbedienung | Controller: Amazon.de: Elektronik

www.amazon.de

This one should work, too:

ACGAM VR Controller, R1 Bluetooth 4.0 Wireless Gamepad VR Fernbedienung Bluetooth Selfie Mini Game Controller für IOS Android Smartphones: Amazon.de: Elektronik

ACGAM VR Controller, R1 Bluetooth 4.0 Wireless Gamepad VR Fernbedienung Bluetooth Selfie Mini Game Controller für IOS Android Smartphones: Amazon.de: Elektronik

But be aware that the required cursor control only works for Android, not iOS.

They said it in the video, you look a bit like a "knob head" wearing them, just not sexy I guess.
