DJI drone flyers- using DJI goggles
Anyone that is anti-drones, we are not looking for input, thanks.
I have flown FPV lots before using the phone and VR headset with the DroneVR+ app but if you get a chance to try their goggles, do it.
They head track up and down plus left to right which makes for an amazing immersive flight experience.
I have tried them with my Mavic Pro, still going to test with the Phantom and Inspire.
They have diopter adjustment, but you can not focus them. To have a crystal clear view I use reading glasses in them, and there is planty of room. The quality is excellent.
Well worth the money once you figure out how they work.

$250 CAD used from Kijiji
I have seen quite a few used, mostly right in the cities where you can't fly anywhere lol

Not sure i'd want to go the kijjij route as sync'n it up with my android may
prove to be dissapointing.
Would love to get a goggle system & see live what the drone is seeing up there.
The needing reading glasses is also a big con.

Sync is so simple- 1 button and instant on. DJI to DJI could not be any simpler.
FPV is simply amazing. I quite often fly LOS and put the goggles on someone else so they get the flying experience.
I need glasses to make it perfect, you may not. Also, they fit in very well.

I am a big fan of the Mavic pro lineup mostly because of their size. Not the air mini or spark, specifically the mavic pro and pro 2. They are fast, extremely portable and capable. I am selling 1 if you are interested. I take a mavic with me on the ocean and get amazing video.

You didnt turn off VPS sensors?
Did you rice it?
If it is destroyed would you sell it? I like destroyed ones for repair practise

What is VPS sensor ?
It was on active track and it flew into a small twig branch and it fell into the water because the tree was overhanging a lake. I have the video of what happened. I put it in rice immediatly but still didnt work. There is now rice all jammed up inside it.
It turns on but when i try to take off it gives me an error. Not sure if the jammed up rice is the problem.
I do still want to keep it and have it repaired but I dont know where to take it.
This happend right after i purchased it so it was devastating. I felt down for a very long time since I never got a chance to use it. I was taking out my camera to take a photo of it and it crashed.

Visual positioning sensor must be turned off when flying over water. Not relevant when you hit something.
Call John at Multirotor Heli Calgary.
He is awesome. Please tell him Ken sent you.
What a great video!!!

$450 for the Mavic Mini (no license), $250 for the goggles...
Some people spend that on lottery tickets per year.

I recently purchased the Mini, so far I am impressed with the image quality. Not impressed with the propellers, they warp if you do not store your Mini with the props in the right position. Will be looking into the goggles if I make the year without loosing the drone

Love flying my Pro Platinum, very reliable. Except when I stupidly backed it into a tree and cracked the body  . Multi Rotor in Calgary fixed it fast and good  . Hope I can find a great deal like you did on the goggles.

I missed a couple at $200, 1 at $175.
Don't be in a huge rush, Muffy buys these all the time for spoiled little Tad, who uses it once in the city and gets bored.
Wait for the right deal.
