We were able to test out the DJI Goggles and were blown away by the capabilities of this technology, so we wanted to share our thoughts and what we liked the most about them. We already shared our initial reaction to the DJI Goggles on our vlog—check it out! Below is a more in-depth review of the DJI Goggles.
Our rating: 8.5 to 9 out of 10
What we enjoyed about the DJI Goggles
Comfort (oh, so comfy!)
- Although bigger than the Mavic Pro, they didn’t feel bulky or big;
- They fit small and large noggins;
- They fit high on the forehead and lower on the back of the head
- Breathable
- Fits over glasses
- Can adjust to where your pupils are
Optics (wow!)
- Two screens on their optics carrying higher resolution than single screens (check out the specs below for details on their resolution)
- You can see crisp detail—almost forget you’re looking through goggles
- Light glare is not a limiting factor with Ocusync technology while wearing the goggles
- You don’t experience “stuttering” when moving the Mavic laterally
- 85 degree field of view
- There is a slight delay in sync—110 milliseconds from the Mavic to the goggles, but it’s not noticeable
- Sync bypasses controller so it’s a direct sync to the goggles
Menu in the goggles (no need for the remote!)
- You can use the goggles to access the menus by the track pad on the side of the goggles and a few key buttons underneath
- You can use your remote to control the goggles with a toggle and function buttons
- You can can fly the Mavic Pro with the goggles
- All of the displays that you would get on your phone screen is inside the goggles
- Head tracking capabilities: 1) gimbal works separately from flight controls to view surroundings and 2) use it to move the Mavic itself
- Two screens can link to the same Mavic to watch at the same time
Compatible with multiple drones
- Mavic Pro
- Inspire 2
- Phantom 4 Pro
- Phantom Pro Plus
Final thoughts
Overall, what we enjoyed about the DJI Goggles is that they are simple, intuitive, comfortable and fun. We truly believe this immersive experience is one that a person who owns a Mavic Pro would love. You’ll experience the Mavic in a way you never have before. We also think that by showing friends who have never experienced the RC hobby these goggles that there’s a good chance they will be interested in joining in on the fun!
The only “issue” we came across is that there is a little light leak with smaller/narrower noggins.
We hope that this review is helpful for you as you make the decision to experience flight in a new way!
