DJI FPV Goggles Review
This DJI Goggles is a virtual reality headset that somehow matches the Sony VR set. They have many similar features and share a lot of options. This is a good thing because these headsets just comfortably sit on your head when the display unit hangs in front of your face to give you a complete VR experience.
It doesn’t clamp up your face, instead, it can be worn for hours without any discomfort due to the technical design of the headset. The most important part of any VR headset is functionality and in that case, we think the DJI Goggles win the game without any competition. DJI has more to offer than other options in the market like the Fat Shark, Parrot, and Yuneec.
What we love the most about DJI Goggles is that it controls the Mavic Pro, thus making your drone flying experience way better than anyone can imagine. It has just taken the drone game to the next level and we can’t appreciate that enough.
The pilot would be flying the drone but your head movement can turn the camera. So the camera will be pointing in the direction that you are looking at.
The connectivity of DJI FPV goggles is great. After it is connected to the Mavic Pro, you get an HDMI port so that you can use these as a monitor to watch videos from any near source. After trying this feature with the computer, great results were found.
DJI Goggles Head Tracking
To improve your experience, there are some great features added by DJI assistant. It actually provides you with a head tracking feature that allows you to control the direction of your camera by just moving your head. It’s like the immense virtual reality experience where you can turn your head and look at the things there from your drone.
The camera will direct that way and you will be able to stream all of the scenes visible to the camera. You can turn your head up, down, left or right and the camera will move along like DJI smart controller. There are two ways to control the camera with the head tracking system in DJI FPV Goggles.
Flight Mode Head Tracking
This feature allows you to control the drone
Gimbal Mode Head Tracking
This feature allows you to only control just the direction of the camera, not the whole drone.
The Hardware of DJI Goggles
The material on the front is plastic on the outside to keep all the tidbits inside safe. For the operation of the tensioner, metal strapping is available on the headband. There is a pliable memory foam that covers the front of the forehead to keep you comfortable.
After strapping the headband to your head, you get strong support for a comfortable gaming experience.
