DJI Goggles Racing Edition FPV Goggles. New Look at FPV Flight

Then noth­ing was heard about them until today, and it already began to seem that they did not exist at all. But just recent­ly, DJI Gog­gles final­ly appeared in the list of prod­ucts on the offi­cial web­site of the man­u­fac­tur­er, where you can already see the details of the new prod­uct.

About the product

DJI Gog­gles are com­fort­able, high-tech FPV gog­gles that now make first-per­son flight pos­si­ble with any drone from Dajiang Inno­va­tion’s top line.

DJI Gog­gles con­sist of two main parts:

1. Gog­gles (glass­es) — which have two high-res­o­lu­tion dis­plays (1920 × 1080p each), a gyro­scope, an accelerom­e­ter, a prox­im­i­ty sen­sor (to save pow­er, turn off the dis­plays when­ev­er the mask does not con­tact the face), a touch­pad and sev­er­al but­tons that accom­pa­ny the gog­gles and scroll.
2. Bat­tery head­ring with inter­nal ports and LED indi­ca­tion.

Do not con­fuse the DJI Gog­gles with any oth­er sim­i­lar gog­gles, and espe­cial­ly those used when pilot­ing a rac­ing drone.

DJI Gog­gles are capa­ble of receiv­ing video stream in two modes:

1. FHD mode — 1080p at 30fps when broad­cast­ing at close dis­tances with­out inter­fer­ence; 720p at 30fps for long dis­tances and noisy dis­tances.
2. Smooth Mode — as 720p at 60 fps.

• Due to the tight fit of the pix­els to each oth­er, the pilot sees the image in the most real­is­tic way, with­out any hint of the pres­ence of a pix­el grid.
• Using the Mav­ic Pro drone, the pilot can receive a video link in 720p at 60 fps, with video record­ing in 720p at 120 fps.

Control

Using the Head Track­ing Flight mode, you can turn the drone around its axis or con­trol cam­era tilts with a sim­ple head move­ment. All you need to do is select one of the track­ing options from the menu:

1. Motion-con­troller Flight — con­trol the drone and cam­era gim­bal with head move­ment. Raise your head up or down to con­trol the cam­era gim­bal from ‑90° to 30°. Or turn your head left or right to turn the drone around its axis to the left or right. To stop the rota­tion, sim­ply turn your head straight.
2. Motion-con­troller Gim­bal — head move­ment con­trol of the gim­bal. Raise your head up or down to con­trol the cam­era gim­bal from ‑90° to 30° up or down. Or turn your head left or right to pan the drone’s cam­era left or right with­in ‑30° to 30°.

Also, the pilot will have access to the nor­mal “Fullscreen mode” of the gog­gles, which does not affect the con­trol of head turns. On the screen, in addi­tion to the main pic­ture, all the nec­es­sary teleme­try about the cur­rent flight will be dis­played.

*Dis­played teleme­try on the glass­es screen.

DJI Gog­gles sup­port the fol­low­ing devices (each device will have dif­fer­ent fea­tures):

• Spark
• Mav­ic Pro Series
• Mav­ic Air
• Pan­tom 3
• Phan­tom 4 (Pro/Advanced)
• Inspire series

Touchpad

On the right side of the glass­es are locat­ed: the DJI Gog­gles pow­er but­ton with an indi­ca­tion of the bat­tery lev­el of the glass­es, then on the left above the but­ton there is a sound speak­er and above the but­ton in the form of a large num­ber of holes there is a heat sink. The cor­ru­gat­ed field, which is locat­ed in the cen­ter of the above ele­ments, is the touch­pad (or touch­pad). Using the touch­pad (or the 5D but­ton on the Mav­ic con­troller), the pilot has access to the main smart func­tions of the gog­gles, mak­ing menu nav­i­ga­tion much eas­i­er.

Flight modes

DJI Gog­gles sup­port five intel­li­gent flight modes:

1. tapfly
2. Ter­rain Fol­low
3. active track
4. Cin­e­mat­ic Mode
5. Tri­pod Mode

Convenience and flexibility

The unique, durable head­band design even­ly dis­trib­utes the weight of the gog­gles around the head, min­i­miz­ing pres­sure on the face, keep­ing them com­fort­able for hours of flight. The screen part of the glass­es has a lift­ing mech­a­nism, lift it up to return to the real world with­out remov­ing the glass­es, or com­plete­ly sep­a­rate it from the head ring for more con­ve­nient stor­age or trans­porta­tion.

If you wear glass­es for vision cor­rec­tion in every­day life, then with DJI Gog­gles you will not have to give them up for the dura­tion of the FPV flight. They fit com­fort­ably even if you are wear­ing glass­es.

Connecting devices

DJI Gog­gles have received a num­ber of built-in inter­faces, thanks to which they sup­port the con­nec­tion of a wide range of devices:

• Micro USB — Con­nects P4 and Inspire series drones to access head track­ing fea­tures. This port is also used for firmware updates.
• MicroSD card — To down­load record­ed files from the air­craft to your SD card for lat­er stor­age or view­ing.
• HDMI input — for out­putting images from the drone’s cam­era to any exter­nal source with a sim­i­lar input, as well as for con­nect­ing video devices to watch movies and even play video games.
• Audio — for con­nect­ing head­phones. (The pilot can also use the built-in speak­ers to lis­ten to the sound record­ed on the video played back via the HDMI cable).

Advantages

• DJI Gog­gles com­plete­ly sep­a­rates the pilot from the out­side world even in bright sun, no dis­play with a sun visor will shield you from sun­light like these gog­gles. Feel­ing like you are in a movie the­ater.
• DJI Gog­gles allow you to get smoother video, fly much faster and get clos­er to obsta­cles. With glass­es, the pilot always clear­ly sees email. wires encoun­tered along the path of the drone, and is not afraid to col­lide with them. All thanks to ultra-high qual­i­ty dis­plays.
• With built-in anten­nas in the head­band for 360° radio cov­er­age and Ocu­Sync wire­less sig­nal trans­mis­sion, the video link is more sta­ble and reli­able than ever. Each flight gets bet­ter and opens up many new pos­si­bil­i­ties that could not pre­vi­ous­ly be real­ized with a drone like the Mav­ic Pro.

Up to four devices can be con­nect­ed to the Mav­ic Pro simul­ta­ne­ous­ly via the Ocu­Sync wire­less trans­mis­sion sys­tem.

Price

At the moment, the price for DJI Gog­gles is set by the devel­op­er — $349.

On Novem­ber 22, 2017, the DJI Gog­gles Rac­ing Edi­tion FPV Gog­gles was unveiled at an offi­cial press release from DJI Inno­va­tions.
