you need clearance from 2 airports and the faa to plug in the goggles 3

FPV story telling with everyone's favorite, Joshua Bardwell.

Still rocking v1 goggles. Will probably buy o3s and goggles 2 for cheap when o4 comes out.

[always]

So far nothing replaces FOV and comfort of Goggles V2. DJI needs to completey revamp all the newer goggles. Give me V2 with upgraded screens and Goggles 2 range.

Hold out for Qrqa. They showed some random hunks of aluminum in a glass case almost two years ago. Sure it's gonna be out any minute lol

[ianwalton]

I'm waiting for the DJI Neural Link™ FPV system. I hear it's better than anything out there.

Wait until the new ones come out and then buy the older stuff for super cheap!!! 😆👍👍👍

I’m planning to get the apple vision goggles and using that with my O3 system.

[chrisbee]

Chinese new year is over. Just a few more weeks and a new dji fpv drone will come for sure with the new O4 system and goggles. The goggles 2 selling on special offer is a hint for it to happen soon

[wizardfpv]

Get walksnails when they come out with their extended range you can switch the board out.

[MCsCreations]

Now with the Walksnail Moonlight, I don't see reason to go with DJI. No one is going to use the on-board footage anyway, so why bother?
DJI doesn't care about us, so why should we care about them?

😋I still flying 5 drones, 3 fixed wings and 1 VTOL with the DJI Goggles 1.🙃.... and I wont upgrade my fleet until DJI release a new goggles and air units, I am already saving for the 💪 big investment I hope so...

[CarbonGlassMan]

Good lord prices have skyrocketed. I haven't flown much in the last year, so haven't broken or bought much, but the Vistas are the price of the O3 air units when I bought my O3 unit and the O3 units are over $300. Some are over $400.

[KK-olov]

I am very happy with the O3 don’t even feel that I would upgrade.

[ericseidel]

Same question for me. O3 is good enough for me and for sure the new one will be 200$ more expensive than the actual google 2 price. On the other end many used google 2 will be for sale when the new release will come. So I can't still decide.

My perspective; stopped flying in about 2018/2019 because my hand stopped working from a car accident. Just statting to fly again now. All analog but want to get at least my daily drivers digital.
For me it's about longevity., If I buy goggles 2 today and DJI releases googles 3 or whatever tommorrow then I feel like I have 18 months where I'll be able to get air units thqt are compatable with my goggles.
If I wait for the goggles 3 I feel like I;ve got 36 months.
Im assuming 18 month product cycles obviosuly.
The telling thing for me will be with the release of the next air unit will be if DJI stop selling Vista to Runcam/Caddx when the "O4" ait unit comes out.
I really hate this digital FPV era. I want the clear video, range and penetration, but I don't want to be beholden to a vendor that makes me buy a new VTX family and google every 18-36 months. And I want to be able to watch pother people fly with my goggles.
I'm feeling like Walksnail may be the best solution s it has an upgrade path and they seem more in touch with the FPV mindset, but I keep hearing their VTXs are less durable - I'm a shit pilot, I can expect my VTX to be on the ground while I find my crashed wreck of a quad for 10 minutes or more.
Real Pit mode could help - if the battery were connected.
I'm really conflicted now between the big discount on the goglges2/Integra and the next gen and the Wlaksnail.
And my Rapidfire module is faloing apart. And a new Rapdifire is about half the price of a a set of Integras at the moment.
I might give up FPV again due to the mential injuries I'm getting.

[MystikSquash]

I just bit the bullet. Lmao! Dang you bardwell! From v1’s to goggles2.

[zfold]

Dji Air 3 units are shipped with O4 transmission. But I couldn't find the O4 unit separately for purchase. The RC2 controller it ships with supports O4 but not the O3 transmission.

[msulkey]

DJI, PLEASE FIX AUDIENCE MODE!!! I want to be able to take passengers along with me. I just confirmed it's still not fixed on firmware 01.05.00.00. I purchased a second set of integra goggles and in audience mode, it starts to get really choppy at only 200 feet away clear line of sight making it truly undesirable for passengers to fly along with me.

[theodorusharyoseno]

Dji still selling the goggles V2 with the dji FPV combo..

And I believe dji will still selling the dji O3 for the next 2-3 years.

Dji goggles v2 its good enough for me and for a lots of user out there..

And I'll still using it for the next 2-3 years

Dji V2 its full of surprise..
May be some hidden feature still not revealed yet...😅😅
