I have been using the DJI goggles for the last 4 weeks, I am really depressed by the amount of "forward" weight of assembly on my neck. None of my other drone goggles have that problem ( and no, I don't own a pair of FatShark googles). I have made all my own googles for drones, and used special building techniques to take the electronics away from the front of the goggles.
So for DJI, I have put together the following "rebalance mechanism". I have two elastic straps 1.5 inches wide that I mount around the back side of head ring right where the thumb wheel is placed. These two straps come down the back side of the head and go forward onto my chest. Right now I have just taped them to my T-shirt close to my arm-pits. This elastic tension on the back side of the head band causes the weight distribution to be dead center on the middle of my spinal column. This means no "forward" weight from the goggles.
Right now I am working on taking one of my GoPro scuba strap assemblies and adjusting it to accept the elastic straps that come down my chest from the head band. This GoPro assembly is a stretch elastic wide strap configuration that goes over the shoulders and then a second strap goes under the arm pits and around the back. For the normal GoPro, the camera is mounted in the center of the chest along the circular strap that goes under the arm pits. My configuration will be to put new Velcro on the circular strap so that I can join the straps from the headband onto the GoPro circular band. May have to add extension straps so that I can adjust the pull-down tension from the head band straps.
I will try to post pictures when final configuration is done. One of the pluses of this assembly is that when I want to lift up the DJI goggles, there is no restricting the lift upward and the reading-glasses stay on my face without any movement. Another side effect is that the downward pressure on the head band allows my goggles to come straight down on my face so that I clearly see the upper part of the screen. This has always been a problem with the standard mount.......I can never get the top most part of the screen to stay in my FOV. Now I see the whole assembly FOV centered on the centerline of my resting head position.
If anyone has seen other head mount modifications to the DJI goggles, please pass them along so that I can consider a hybrid approach.
