DJI Re goggles recording

Vick · Apr 23, 2020

Good evening everyone I've been struggling for over a year now to get my DJI racing edition goggles to record live you from my Mavic Pro. Screen capture works perfectly but recording live view from my Mavic only does a 1 kilobyte file. There must be a screen resolution or something I'm missing to allow it to capture the MP4 file but I've been unable to work out what I'm doing wrong I've been through the manual many times it's no help as far as I can workout. I hope it's something really simple that I'm just missing I need someone with some experience and getting it to work but I can so far been able to find anyone who knows exact settings I need can anyone help me please. I've had my magic now for 2 years and the goggles for every year and I could not be happier with either except for one small thing not being able to record live you from my Mavic

Welcome to the forum Vick.
I'll follow this, as I've only recently got the RE's and haven't tried this record feature yet, not even a screen capture.

Just noted, you have one 18kb file there, how long do the 1kb and 18kb mp4 play ?

Good luck hopefully someone that does this with their will be along soon.

Yes that is correct the 18 kilobyte file when played is just a quick flash just enough to see an image what was in front of the drone at the time.
So it definitely gives me hope I'm on the verge of getting it right I only need someone who knows or can tell me what I'm doing wrong thanks for that.

I'll finally try this when I next go out to fly, some more park flights testing and getting used to the goggles are definitely needed !!
It might be a week or two yet though.
I can at least check taking a screenshot, and try taking some video of the goggles view.
If I can, I'll try and check settings on the goggles for everything.

Thankyou, anything you can find out would be great help

I'm not sure I really understand the question? I have the Goggles RE and the mavic zoom. I just flew the Mav with the goggles yesterday and they always amaze me. you can get such cool footage. I just hit the record button on the goggles and it records to the SD Card in the Mavic. I don't have a SD card in the goggles. Is that what your trying to do? Record directly to the goggles?

Yes exactly a long double pres records screen shot no problem but i cannot get it to record videos, exactly how or what do you press to start recording on the goggles thanks

So, you are just trying to find how to start recording a video using the goggles?

Initially, when you turn them on they default to Photo mode. White circle on the lower right hand side in the goggles view. One tap on the pad will take a photo. If you swipe forward until you get the Red Record button. Then one tap on the pad will start Video recording and one tap will then stop it.

No I think the OP wants to get a video of the goggles view / screen display ?
You can screen record like you can screenshot it ?

I'm not 100% sure, haven't tried that yet, but that's how I read the OPs posts.
This is recorded to the micro SDHC card in the goggles.

Oh... ok. Haven't tried that

Me either, but I read you can screen shot by tapping the touch pad, assume form the OP you can also do this to record goggles view.
Would be cool to get a little footage flying in FPV mode, the way the screen shows a predictive flight path.

Not quite I have no problem using the goggles to activate recording on the Mavic's SD card or taking pictures on the Mavic's SD card.
Also no problem taking a screenshot on the goggles SD card. (with a long press with two fingers on the touch pad). I just can't get the goggles to record live view video the SD card in the goggles

Oh.. Ok. I have not tried this one. I will have to get a sd card in my goggles and give it a shot.

Anyone have a update on this how to record to the sd card in the goggles?
So we can record what we see in the goggles and it records it to the sd card in the goggles.

I just did a word search for record and then screen in the manual for the goggles and only found references for screen shots and not record screen. Are you sure it is capable of doing this?
