One of the finest reviews by FT in a long time. The chemistry between Josh and Austen is terrific. Mature and informed dialog without some of the craziness that recent videos have had. MORE of the two of you, please!
HELLO from mass. From a toy hellicopter as a kid to my dream honeymoon helicopter ride in Maui. (my wife and I), to the purchase of my first beginner drone today. aviation rocks! you keep our spirits high. thank you.
I see the last comment was a year ago, just shows how long I've been wanting to purchase these goggles. I finally received mine a week ago. I have been flying the Phantom 4 Pro now for a couple years and I want to get the Mavic 2 before I go on vaction next January. I got the goggles first just to make sure it's what you say and I LOVE THEM!!! My flying has improved greatly. I can see everything now without fighting the glare on the ipad. The Mavic 2 next ! (I can't wait)
Hey guys I was looking at Mavic reviews several months ago and found your channel. I haven't flown RCs or even purchased a Mavic yet but have been hooked on your channel ever since :) I've actually been meaning to write this post for some time just to let you all know I'm super excited about what you guys are doing esp with your emphasis on relationships and families. Not to mention you guys crack me up and my wife is wondering what in the world I'm watching :) I went back the the beginning of Flitetest and watching the earliest and the latest. I've also learned a lot to improve my own RUclips channel. I started writing this on the "Mavic Giveaway" Episode but thought it best to pass on my compliment "no strings attached." Love you guys! Keep up the good work!
OK, it's official...... There's a conspiracy by DJI to bankrupt me......... LOL.... Already have a Phantom 2V, an Inspire 1, and a Mavic.. Now I gotta get these goggles... And to make matters worse (better), now there's the Spark! Sheesh... :-D
At 5:32 you say that you can move the lenses in and out? How is that done. On my goggles I can't find that adjustment, only the adjustment to widen the lenses. Also, it would be great if Dji would make a nice diopter set for folks like us that need bifocals to see close up. Thanks foe the video, job well done guys... thumbs up 👍
Hey Flite Test, I'm getting them for my Mavic but I'm also interested in going digital with my race quads. I would love to see you test out the performance of the HDMI input with the Connex Prosight HD FPV system. Thanks and congrats on the 700k+ subs.
Hi guys great review. I bought one and i had my first trial just now. I must say it is great yes, a new level of experience. But i am kinda confused between the head camera tracking and head movement/pilot mode. I chose the head camera gimbal tracking but when i turned my head left the drone turned left?? How so? Also there was a time when i wasnt turning my head but the drone was spinning. I was worried so i turned the goggle off and resumed flight with the remote. Is there anyway to reset everything so the goggle and the gimbal is synced straight? When the drone took off i wasnt behind it thats probably why, but i used the center camera command (the very right option when you double down swipe) but it didnt work, any thought? Thanks again great review
OMG! They are now compatible with the Mavic Air. A bit limited in functionality but the experience is all that. I've never flown smoother with my Air than when I used these.
This is a very good review of the goggles. I bought the goggles months ago when they were released, but I only have a P3P so I was missing a lot of the experience. I just ordered the new Mavic Pro Platinum and I’m looking forward to a much better flight and goggle experience. Thanks for the info
I am not sure if you mentioned this cool feature and I missed it, but for the 'passenger' wearing the other headset, he could have his own cam that also moves independent of the 'driver'. So he would be able to look around for an added sense of freedom. This could be useful for search and rescue also. I know it would mean redesigning the craft, but I would like to see this done.
I just received my DJI Googles yesterday and had to send them back. Came with a dead pixel, the screens would ghost one screen or the other so menus were a bit odd (as in it would show the HUD for the Mavic and when going to the settings it would transparently flip the other screen like they were bouncing off each other), and then the head-band wouldn't stay adjusted. Other than that I did love it. Even connected my Nintendo Switch and started playing Breath of the Wild on it... jeez did this get VERY immersive. If FlightTest could contact me on why these issues are happening; that would be awesome because DJI Customer Service has some language barriers (during the online chat experience as did contact them after hours)
Yeah DJI CS could give a ratz arse about you after you buy their products. I own a bunch of different drones and DJI is the absolute worst of supporting the end user. Give me Yuneec or Autel anyday, hell even 3D Robotics who no longer makes their Solo has better CS than DJI does.
Yep. Anyone who has followed DJI since way back when they began making flight controllers such as the Naza and Wookong-M knows that DJI is all about rushing products to the market prematurely (think s800 with floppy arms, WKM compass issue, ...), secretly using customers as beta testers (think of many, many firmware updates for various products: Naza, WKM, OSDs, Lightbridge, ...), trying to make everything as proprietary as possible (think gimbals that only work with their flight controllers or entire zenmuse gimbal series that is one-camera specific), giving flat-out empty promises about needed firmware and hardware fixes, ignoring customer complaints while at the same time shamelessly targeting them with ads for new products, ripping clients off with way overpriced technology whenever they're the first to make it (think $3,500 zenmuse z15n, five thousand dollars for a few waypoints for WKM, over $500 for tiny, 2-axis H3-2D go-pro gimbal, ...), never admitting fault and then turning around and producing new versions that address these same faults (think s800 evo), ditching any support whatsoever for a LONG list of products (think groundstation), pushing what appear to be good deals only to turn around and end support for that product or render it obsolete (think deal on waypoints and then making them free), creating firmware that actually makes products perform worse (think elimination of ramped tilt on H3-2D), ... I'm sure the list goes on and on; but, I ditched DJI several years ago, about right after they released the Phantom 2, and I've been waiting for other companies to out-compete them and put them in their place. I spent years reading RCGroups and other forums, where I watched those new to DJI slowly twist their face in disgust as DJI's true colors began to shine through. Honestly, DJI is greedy and unscrupulous, and doesn't care about their customers any more than needed to take their money. For them, it's not the customer who is always right, it is DJI who is always right.
Excellent video guys. Planning on purchasing both the Mavic and these goggles in the near future. It would be nice to see you use these googls with the mavic in sport mode and really test it, flying fast, through narrow areas etc.
I’m interested in getting these goggles but I wear glasses and was not sure if they would fit over.. in less then 3 min I had my answer! You guys rock!
So quick Q re. the "watching movies on an airplane" comment - I realise this is probably the farthest use away from its intended use :-D But can you confirm that you can in fact load movies/TV shows onto an SD card and then play them on the goggles? Because not only does your on-screen caption at that point say "SD card reader can only preview footage" but I've also read elsewhere that only DJI preview movies can be viewed on the SD card..... I'm assuming if that *is* the case then they might unlock the playback of other formats via firmware update later? I mean, being able to use the DJI goggles to also view a movie on a long flight or not isn't a dealbreaker, but it absolutely would be a nice bonus feature....
I was considering the Mavic pro but I have two gps drones already, so i was just going to buy some more planes. But now with these googles in the mix!!! I hope they offer this in a combo deal. Cus I will be saving up. But since its summer here in AZ and in the 100`s. It will wait til fall. Thanks for the great review!
How bout a review on all uses of the goggles with & without birds? Do you think they will eventually be apps for gaming or other experiences? Thanks for all the work you put in these vids guys!
Hi guys I just am getting into the hobby and love it vids I just got a ft tiny trainer but am throughly confused by the electronics I was wondering if u had any vids that explained the electronics in great detail. Sorry for the run on sentence.
just an observation, I had a friend who got his regular pilots licsense 25+ years ago, and he lost an eye in the forestry as a logger, he was told it could not be done, so he bought a Cessna 150 or 152 and made a landing strip and practiced till he got it perfect, he told me the single eye will adapt for this type of use, with practice. So am thinking your eye could adapt
Great video guys. Well done in every regard. I especially liked the part when you went around that antenna. One issue I would of liked you to cover is how the goggles interface with the Phantom 4 series. I understand you have to use an HDMI cable and several functions you can use with the Mavic, you can't use with the P4 series.
Great review guys...with the HDMI input, can you plug your Falcore into these goggles like you can with the Avegant Glyphs? Hoping these can be used with more than DJI products. I saw you can hook up game and movie devices, so I think that this might work.
Wow seems like a great product ! I saw it today in Chengdu here in China and started thinking whether I should buy those in the near future. This video ensured me that it will be a great investment.
I was a avid DJI user when they first started selling drones. I was disappointed with a few of the drones, flight controllers and that white remote they sold with the phantom. I'm glad to see them find their nitch in the consumer market. The mavic with those goggles is what I envisioned with my first commercial system. I got the fat sharks with the intention of using the head tracking for the camera, but it wasn't as smooth as I planned. It looks like this is it though. I've been eyeing the mavic for a while now and I think that might have done it for me.
I watched videos and tried to research what to get for my 1st drone keeping in mind I was wanting to be able to get footage to use on youtube... I couldnt be happier. I purchased a mavic 2 pro, goggles, and fly more kit. I feel better amd better each day that I made the best choice for which drone to get ... I would love to see a video on which accessories you recommend.. ie landing pad .. sunscreen for remote or if thats really needed if you have the goggles and what you think about the smart remote as its $700+ price?
One of the finest reviews by FT in a long time. The chemistry between Josh and Austen is terrific. Mature and informed dialog without some of the craziness that recent videos have had. MORE of the two of you, please!
Couldn't agree more. As much as I love the Vlogs where they are goofing around the good old reviews where you really get an insight are so good.
I second that. This was one of the best reviews I've seen from FT since the start and the best review I've seen on the DJI goggles so far.
count me in!
You guys rock. Still considering to get a pair for my own channel.
Best review of this goggles till now. I hope it remains the best because no one can beat you in this thing.
HELLO from mass. From a toy hellicopter as a kid to my dream honeymoon helicopter ride in Maui. (my wife and I), to the purchase of my first beginner drone today. aviation rocks! you keep our spirits high. thank you.

Haha We have to agree Rod... DJI is killin it! ;) ha
Cause their products are so good 😊
Just dont sell your house for these things. Lol
Hi Rod, Considering the Inspire 1 v2 over the Mavic Pro with these Goggles. Suggestions Maestro..? Thank you in advance... :-)
LOL, if only bankruptcy was ever so joyful!
Awesome video.
What range to these goggles have?
Where's the Spark video?
WE know they sent you one....why so much secrecy?
spark is junk

On thw last video I forgot to say congrats on 700k subscribers so...
CONGRATS ON 700K SUBSCRIBERS!!
Great review
Thanks guys. Just getting into drones and starting the hobby. Find ur videos really helpful and looking forward to more that u put out.
Nice review. What is the effective range with these goggles?
At 5:32 you say that you can move the lenses in and out? How is that done. On my goggles I can't find that adjustment, only the adjustment to widen the lenses. Also, it would be great if Dji would make a nice diopter set for folks like us that need bifocals to see close up. Thanks foe the video, job well done guys... thumbs up 👍
Thanks guys! I really appreciate your genuine presentation!
Tremendous review! Thanks very much indeed.
Great video guys, thanks.
Thanks Jason! Appreciate you watching along!

Thanks for the thought Olivier!! Great Idea and ill put it on the list!

Great job guys

You guys get to have all the fun!!
The unboxing video was the best! These look pretty great so far.
Thanks for the review. Very helpful.
Awesome...I would love to try out these goggles. Great video guys👍😎
thank you for this video answerd alot of my questions
Thanks for watching! GLAD we could help Dennis!
Great video guys! Gesundheit @ 7:45 :) Didn't miss a beat haha. Cheers Gents

Awesome in depth review, thanx. Now i'm even more exited and can't wait for mine. Great work guys!
2020 and these are quite affordable and available on 2nd hand market...
nice...where?
This is a very good review of the goggles. I bought the goggles months ago when they were released, but I only have a P3P so I was missing a lot of the experience. I just ordered the new Mavic Pro Platinum and I’m looking forward to a much better flight and goggle experience. Thanks for the info
So is it real? They work with p3p via USB?
Great review👍👍
Thanks AI D! glad you enjoyed it!
I am not sure if you mentioned this cool feature and I missed it, but for the 'passenger' wearing the other headset, he could have his own cam that also moves independent of the 'driver'. So he would be able to look around for an added sense of freedom. This could be useful for search and rescue also. I know it would mean redesigning the craft, but I would like to see this done.
So is it worth to buy? Im still not shure
Are you guys going to get and review the DJI spark?
Possibly! ;)
Great review, thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching Vic! Glad you enjoyed it!
Unbelievable how easy it is to follow your videos. This old man love y'all. Keep it up with the amazing passion you show.💝
What a top review. Thanks guys, everything covered, and done well.
Thanks for the videos.😊
where did you get your decal?
Thanks for video. Do you even need a phone connected to the controller when using the goggles?
Great video, thanks.
Just curious...
Notice any motion-sickness at all while using the headset?
I just received my DJI Googles yesterday and had to send them back. Came with a dead pixel, the screens would ghost one screen or the other so menus were a bit odd (as in it would show the HUD for the Mavic and when going to the settings it would transparently flip the other screen like they were bouncing off each other), and then the head-band wouldn't stay adjusted.

thank you for this great video
Outstanding review. Best I've seen. My goggles arrive today!
Great video 👍
It's funny watching your videos. I'm always going "there's Levins, there's Walmart, there's Baja" lol. Keep up the good work!
What a great review! Now I am sure I'll be getting this goggles.

Good review guys - I ordered mine a couple of days ago.
Great video
i am about to order the dji mavic air fly more and goggles :)
Can you guys review the new dji spark and do a shoot out between the spark and the breeze?
very nice and clear review with much detail. I am from Germany and if I want to know something about drones and stuff, I go first to your channel ;)
Thats awesome Gert!! Thanks so much for the kind words and for watching!
Spark is released. Can't wait to see you guys review it!
I just bought them but the weather here in Rhode Island is bad so I'm so anxious!!! I have the Magic Pro and Phantom 4 Pro...can't wait......!!! lol
wow that thing looks amazing!
Thanks for this, this really did help me make my decision to get one but now I have to wait for it again!
Really enjoyed your review, thank you! Now it's time to invest in more DJI products! Any thoughts on DJI refurbished items?
No wireless for the phantom4 ?
you guys deserve `at least 5 mil subs
i would like to see you guys review the epson moverio BT300
I was considering the Mavic pro but I have two gps drones already, so i was just going to buy some more planes. But now with these googles in the mix!!! I hope they offer this in a combo deal. Cus I will be saving up. But since its summer here in AZ and in the 100`s. It will wait til fall. Thanks for the great review!
Great review! I hope they make one in grey/black version soon...
Hey Guss, cool Review! When you can, are you going to review the DJI Spark?
You never know! ;) Will keep you posted!
that head tracking is pretty cool
When will dual camera 3d come out? So you can judge distances?
Yes! I will get one soon. Thank you
How bout a review on all uses of the goggles with & without birds? Do you think they will eventually be apps for gaming or other experiences? Thanks for all the work you put in these vids guys!
Hi guys I just am getting into the hobby and love it vids I just got a ft tiny trainer but am throughly confused by the electronics I was wondering if u had any vids that explained the electronics in great detail. Sorry for the run on sentence.
Cool logo guys 🤟
Thank you I will be ordering a pair
Your video is awesome but I have to ask a question If a person can only see out of one eye how will the goggles affect that if any
just an observation, I had a friend who got his regular pilots licsense 25+ years ago, and he lost an eye in the forestry as a logger, he was told it could not be done, so he bought a Cessna 150 or 152 and made a landing strip and practiced till he got it perfect, he told me the single eye will adapt for this type of use, with practice. So am thinking your eye could adapt
Just bought them, have not received them yet, will be a blast :) running my Mavic Pro
Great video guys. Well done in every regard. I especially liked the part when you went around that antenna. One issue I would of liked you to cover is how the goggles interface with the Phantom 4 series. I understand you have to use an HDMI cable and several functions you can use with the Mavic, you can't use with the P4 series.
Sparky on its way i imagine, the delay suggests a great vid as usual. Micro mavic race? Im still waiting for a mavic race!
So it's an 8.5 out of 10 because it's too good?
Hey guys...nice review. Quick question... can I connect my other 5.8 vtx's on my race drones with this headset as well as the dji drones?
Is your opinion the same if used with the Phantom 4 Pro Plus?
Do the goggles work with DJI Mavic air thanks
Hey are you guys going to do a review of the new DJI Goggles Racing Edition?
Do you guys know if DJI will release an HD cam/Xmitter system that can be used on planes?
Great video guys!! You've convinced me haha.
Great review guys...with the HDMI input, can you plug your Falcore into these goggles like you can with the Avegant Glyphs? Hoping these can be used with more than DJI products. I saw you can hook up game and movie devices, so I think that this might work.
When are you going to get the spark
Realmente este vídeo ficou muito bom !!!!!
Wow seems like a great product ! I saw it today in Chengdu here in China and started thinking whether I should buy those in the near future. This video ensured me that it will be a great investment.
Can y'all do a DJI spark review? It's their new, smaller drone that they just came out with it
wow very nice
I was a avid DJI user when they first started selling drones. I was disappointed with a few of the drones, flight controllers and that white remote they sold with the phantom. I'm glad to see them find their nitch in the consumer market. The mavic with those goggles is what I envisioned with my first commercial system. I got the fat sharks with the intention of using the head tracking for the camera, but it wasn't as smooth as I planned. It looks like this is it though. I've been eyeing the mavic for a while now and I think that might have done it for me.
Not that you would but could you use the goggles inside and fly the mavic outside with the ocusync? Any degrading in the fpv?
I watched videos and tried to research what to get for my 1st drone keeping in mind I was wanting to be able to get footage to use on youtube... I couldnt be happier. I purchased a mavic 2 pro, goggles, and fly more kit. I feel better amd better each day that I made the best choice for which drone to get ... I would love to see a video on which accessories you recommend.. ie landing pad .. sunscreen for remote or if thats really needed if you have the goggles and what you think about the smart remote as its $700+ price?
Great video guys thanks. I was wondering, can you use the head tracking features whilst flying in FPV mode? Thanks :)
What is the range? Can you go the full 4 miles with the goggles and the phone?
Is it worth getting the RE over this. I just want to explore.
