DJI FPV w/Smart Controller

indyglassman · Aug 21, 2020

I've been searching quite a bit and coming up empty. I have a new pair of the DJI FPV goggles and want to be able to fly my Mavic 2 Pro using them. I have the Smart Controller as well. I thought this was a supported configuration but I'm having trouble finding information about how to configure it.

Any help is appreciated.

** I did put the latest firmware on both the Mavic 2, Smart Controller and DJI FPV goggles.

Is this the googles? If not then it's not compatible. Then you got the FPV googles for the Air Unit/Caddx Vista.

Yeah, its the FPV goggles for the air unit. I could have sworn that an update made these work as well. Oh well, guess not.

You can use these goggles by putting a HDMI to CVBS video converter between, e.g. this one: HDMI zu AV Cinch Konverter HDMI CVBS Cinch Adapter Signal Konvertierer (NEU) | eBay

But be aware that the goggles AV input only support 4:3 format at this moment, so the Smart Controller's 16:9 image output will be compressed.

I think it works the other way round, the DJI FPV air unit system displaying on the Smart Controller as an external monitor/ hdmi out.
The Smart controller firmware update enabled this.

The best solution for goggles with the Smart Controller is the Epson BT-35e which takes the hd video feed and power from the Smart controller USB-C port.

G’day Indyglassman, did you find a solution to using the new goggles with the mp2 & the smart controller. Ive been thinking if doing the same thing but might have dodged a bullet here! Cheers Col

I haven't got a solution the way I wanted to do it. The best option I came up with was to use the HDMI out of the Smartcontroller to Fatshark goggles - NOT the DJI goggles which is what I was hoping for.
