FPV

Is it possible to use FPV goggles and a Mini 2 and look straight down at the ground while flying forward?
Thanks,
Thom

Not the FPV 2 or V2 goggles.

I'm pretty sure you can hook up some original DJI white or RE goggles with a cable setup.

I have this setup for my Spark drone and RE goggles with a short Micro USB / HDMI adapter then a 1m HDMI cable to go to the goggles HDMI input.

This works with other cheaper goggles with HDMI input too I believe, but not sure how good that would be as far as quality goes compared to DJI goggles.

. . . and yes if you direct your gimbal down, that will be what you see in the goggles view.

Yup with litchi and your phone and a pair of cheapo amazon goggles works great

Is it possible to use FPV goggles and a Mini 2

The following video is over two years old, but I remember seeing it a year or so ago when I was trying to decide on the Mini 2 or the SE (PS: the Mini 2 won…)

Here are some more recent videos.

There are more YouTube videos out there, just search YouTube with "Mini 2 and FPV Goggles"

Good Luck!
