I don't know if anyone followed Fatshark's attempts to get an FOV larger than about 45 degs with a fully distance focus a while back. They managed about 50 degs with one version and, to make a long very ugly story short, the results were so bad they had to back it off to the current 45degs in their current HD model.
So now, the 45deg FOV version is in focus, sort of, but still with that teeny weeny little cruddy little crappy little screen about the size of an iPad on your lap. Not a great FPV experience, much less for almost $500.
And as Max says, it's a poor solution for nearsighted users even at that and you can't wear your regular prescription glasses with them.
The DJI goggle is working with a much bigger, magnificent 85 deg FOV, so they may have had to make a compromise. I'm farsighted and solved the problem with some +3.50 diopter reading glasses from Amazon. It's not perfect, a little blurring around the edges, but the IMax theatre FOV at 1080p resolution is well worth the glasses. And an order of magnitude better than Fatsharks or most other competitors. And of course, it's no problem to wear glasses with the DJI goggles...
So overall, you can kind of see where compromises have to be made given what the goggles offer in terms of FOV and resolution. DJI probably looked at going down the same road Fatshark tried to go down in their design and wisely decided to go a different route with what they have right now. I don't know that to be true, but given that DJI is an expert with optics, that's a strong possibility.
That said, yes, they need to offer "focus fixers" here in the US. I'm ok with the reading glasses solution in the meantime and I love my goggles. in fact 98% of the time I'm FPV with them. |
