Smart Controller and BT-300 works!

tstrack · May 25, 2020

Don't think this was ever covered.

I've been searching for a way to connect my BT-300 to my smart controller just for the video feed. I love both devices and prefer controlling my M2Z with the smart controller. After completing all updates today I found you can CAST from the Smart Controller to the BT-300(under Settings, Display, Receive). Seems to solve my problem and saved me the $ for the BT-35E. Plus no extra wires. Weather is terrible today so I can't flight test. Hopefully the extra wireless signal doesn't interfere with range. I'm happy I finally have my 2 favorite devices working together. Happy Memorial Day!

Quick update I did a short flight between rain. There is a noticeable lag but you have the Smart controller to look at for position reference if you don't feel comfortable with lag. Not bad but you would not want to be flying between trees with it. Clear image so in my opinion the combo is a go!

I just updated my original post with info from a quick test flight. A bit of lag but video feed was clear and I believe as good as hooked up through standard controller. Curious if you see any lag between the image on the BT-35E's and the Smart Controller? I would not expect so.

It depends on what HDMI cable you us

I connect the Smart Controller to the glasses via USB-C and the interface box that ships with the 35E's. No lag.

If I use the usbc type c 10GBPS I get lag but if I use same cable but 20BPS no lag depends on the USB C cable used

Hello, I've been contemplating getting the DJI Smart Controller & the BT35e interface, so I can use them with my BT300 smartglasses. However, I do not want to use HDMI. So is the BT300 able to output video with the DJI Smart Controller connected to the BT35e interface with just a USB-C connector?

You can purchase the HDMI control box and use your BT-300 with the SC and Connect it with 1 USB C cable. You will not have any lag and the glasses work perfectly. Here is the link to buy the HDMI Box.

This is what I use so I speak from experience.

Sorry, I do not know what “Connectix” is. Is this some type of software OR was this a translation error? Did you mean to say “connect it” with 1 USB C cable.

I edited my post to say

Awesome! Thank you!

I have a pair of a BT-35e's on order. Just wondering if the bt-300's are the same image quality, lag speed etc.?
Would I be better with the 300's as they would fit in my bag easier?

I’ve been reading through quite a few threads & came upon a post where they owned both & said that there was only a slight difference in picture quality; I think that’s if you’re really picky. Of course the BT35e only displays the output of whatever Android system you use (ie. Nvidia Shield tablet), but I think you will have less lag with these smartglasses. FYI, my BT300 has at best, a 1/2 second lag. Hope this helps!

Thanks that's very helpful. Did you mean the 35e's would have less lag than the 300's?

Yes, the BT35e's should have little to no lag at all, because it only acts as a monitor for whatever phone/tablet/smart controller you are using, that is more than likely running a more powerful processor & more updated Android OS than the BT300's control unit.

But if you plug the 300s into the bt35e box and then via usb c to smart controller would there be any difference!

This is the best setup (if you can afford it) as I’ve been informed that there is no lag at all.

I use this on to my smart controller USB C to USB C Cable, QCEs 20Gbps Type C 3.1 Gen 2 Cable 100W 3.3Ft for 4K Video Display and get very little to no lag but when I used the 10Gbps had lag
