It seems a fair bet at least one developer will be thinking about it. It's encouraging that Apple is claiming the system is built for very low latency, but there isn't a lot of detail available about connectivity. In short, we don't know yet, though as I was writing the WWDC live blog it was one of the first thoughts I had. Other menu settings are great too and – unusually – the menus have the gloss and usability of high-end consumer products, so DJI regulars could comfortably make the switch without being swamped by poor UX.įAQs Will I be able to use Apple Vision Pro for FPV? It can record up to 1280 x 960 at 60fps – better than many equivalents. The goggles also offer a wi-fi upgrade (around $60) which can connect to a phone as well as add over-the-air software updates – this can go in the secondary upgrade bay without affecting the looks.Īnalog video can be recorded digitally using the DVR, and there is also a microphone to record audio if you want to narrate your flights live, and headphone socket for listening back. Rapidfire or TBS fusion, for example in both cases you’ll need to pay for the module. You’re not stuck to a single receiver you can choose from a number of analog receivers (you’ll need one) to put into the hidden recess. With tracking systems, the goggles can not only go into auto-standby when away from the eyes but watch your head tilt and let you know when you’re not in the best alignment with your quad. The looks of a stealth bomber might be enough to draw you to these goggles, but there is more than that. It’s a good system, but can only record to the local 7GB – no microSD – though you can use the goggle’s microSD to record at up to 1080p 60fps. At launch, the only compatible video system is Walksnail. Latency will drop to about 31m/s at 1080p but the goggles look good at 720p too when latency will be as little as 19m/s. Traditional Betaflight controls are accessed via ‘Avatar’ – essentially the goggles have glossy modern menus, but let you get to the tech underneath too via their menus. There is, for example, a simple USB-C to HDMI cable for video out, and the option of battery information from non-DJI batteries, even without a flight controller. These are not analog goggles, but built around the Walksnail Avatar video system this is a digital alternative to traditional analog FPV which is exciting the community since it is designed for their needs. The goggles also include replicable face-plates and wedges to help secure a good fit. The brand has also managed to sneak a little nod to their community-loved brand by creating a slightly shark-esque profile in these digital-friendly goggles. We tested the DJI FPV Goggles V2 in our full DJI FPV review.īetaflight configurator still uses retro pixelated displayĭespite their small profile, these goggles from Fat Shark pack a lot of features including a new more consumer-friendly OS. (These goggles come in the Avata ‘Smart Combo’, while the Goggles 2 come in the ‘Pro-View Combo' – see our DJI Avata review). The lower cost for DJI Avata customers doesn’t mean you’ll suffer a lot of function loss, but you do lose the ability to connect to your phone and watch videos. The relatively long life of the form factor means that there are also accessories available in the community, which is great. The bigger size means the goggles can be worn over glasses, like box goggles (and we’d hardly call them low-profile!). The four antennae make for good reception, and the system’s menus include, of course, drone settings in an all-DJI setup. It’s also now offered as a choice with the newer Avata for slightly less cash than the DJI Goggles 2 (as opposed to V2 – naming is insanely confusing).ĭesign-wise these goggles are big and impressive, though the weight necessitates an over-head strap not found on smaller headsets. Introduced with the DJI FPV Combo, DJI’s first FPV drone in late 2021, the design is based on one DJI already made available to the wider FPV community – drone builders could fit DJI’s digital video transmission system.
