I’m surprised its taken DJI this long to bring out their own FPV goggles. Its something we expected with the release of the Inspire 2. Yes they’ve taken their time but when you look at the DJI Goggles closely you appreciate why. From the built in touch pad to the head tracking feature they are pretty dam impressive! Well done DJI you’ve rocked our rotors once again!

Touchpad: Choose a menu & confirm	Power Button: Turn the Goggles on & off	Function Button: Enter Focus Mode & Other

Normal 2K drone goggles are two screens split into two 1280 X 1140 screens, one for each eye. When you view this in 16:9 some parts of the image are cut off leaving only a quarter of the pixels. DJI goggles have two 1920 X 1080 providing twice the resolution of normal screens.

With the new Head tracking feature your head movements control the camera yaw and tilt. You just need to turn your head left or right to move the camera. In head tracking gimbal mode only the camera move without changing the yaw.

The goggles work perfectly with DJI’s new intelligent flight modes. In fixed wing mode the aircraft doesn’t turn left or right but instead flies forward with enough rotational movement for a realistic flight simulation.

In head tracking mode you’ll be able to fully control the Mavic Pro for a real flight experience, much like 360 flight experience.

An AR trajectory feature in fixed wing mode allows safer flight in more complex environments.

Over and beyond hobbyist needs there’ll certainly be some commercial applications. Getting clearer live pictures when inspecting electrical lines, roofs, surveying mines might provide that extra edge and save you that second flight.

If you have the need for speed both on a track and in the air, then this action packed video is for you. Watch this high speed drift car twist and turn around the track with smooth perfection while being chased by a racing drone. Brilliant driving from the driver and the pilot.
