Well I found a pair of
DJI Goggles and I just now ordered the HDMI to micro HDMI to plug them into my
Air 2S. Should be here tomorrow, hopefully. I will let you know how they work. My FatSharks are only Okay to use and hoping these will give a better field of view with larger screens and the flip up function will be great for flying and checking the
Smart Controller. Will keep you posted.
P.S. Will also report on my
Mini 2 with the
DJI Goggles.
I got my
DJI Goggles from Ebay...in decent shape...I hooked
Goggles up to my laptop and the Assistant 2 and it needed 5 updates to reach the most current firmware (even though it's discontinued, of course) and that went without a problem. I use the original
Smart Controller with the HDMI out port so I had to order a HDMI (male) to a micro HDMI (male) from Amazon (3 feet cable)
LINK . Then I had to charge the
Goggles (which didn't come with any cables) and it uses a USB to micro USB and luckily I had one of those.
Powered on the
Air 2S, the
Smart Controller, and the
Goggles and it all worked! (you have to make sure that your
smart controller has HDMI out enabled in the settings). I used a small pair of "cheater" reading glasses because otherwise it was too blurry for me but the cheaters made it crystal clear. Plenty of room inside the
goggles for glasses, but not big ones. My normal glasses are pretty big but that isn't the real problem, it's the progressive lenses that are the problem for me...bottom of screen is sharp and middle and upper is blurry.
Note that only video is output to
Goggles and you do not have any control of the
Air 2S through the
Goggles like the Spark does and a couple of other older Mavic models. You DO get the telemetry data so that you can see what is going on just like looking at the
Smart Controller screen.
One awesome setting item in the
goggles during setup was the screen ratio (not the exact wording) where you can make the entire video feed a little smaller so that you can see the top and bottom lines better...especially good for those of us using glasses.
My only gripe is that I sweat in the Texas heat and the
goggles tend to fog my glasses...looking at ways to McGuyver a small fan (like the one on my FatShark Dominator v3) on them to help.
Flying:
1.
No video or screen recording - when just flying around using the
goggles, it's immersive and very enjoyable.
2.
Just recording on Air 2S - A little bit slower reaction time but still very useful and no big problems.
3.
Just Screen Recording on Smart Controller - More lag than on #2 above
4.
Screen Recording on Smart Controller and Drone Recording - Very noticeable screen lag and jerkiness. Not enjoyable and I'm not sure it would even be useful.
Note: it does
not have lag or jerkiness in drone video, just on
Smart Controller.
I will enjoy the flying experience of these
goggles and it will enhance video shots on commercial shots due to less distractibility and no glare on the
Smart Controller screen (with a spotter, of course).
DJI...it would be great if you enabled these
Goggles to work with Occusync with the
Air 2S...it's all there, why not enable it? I know
DJI Goggles are out of support cycle now, but c'mon throw us a bone! It would be similarly great to enable
DJI FPV Goggles to work with
Air 2S. You did an awesome job supporting the original
Smart Controller with the
Air 2S (
THANK YOU!) and now we need some
goggle support. By the way, nice job on the Olympics!
P.S. I haven't had a chance to test the
Mini 2 with the
goggles yet.
P.S.S. For those without a
Smart Controller...there is a "mirroring technique" that uses a portable transmission device, like a Chromecast, that can be found all over the Internet. I did that early on but it's just too cumbersome for me.
