No. Strictly 2.4. Read the spec, watch the videos. You shouldn't complain though. You did say "It would be amazing to me if there wasn't"
Couldn't you use the
HDMI input and a separate video receiver?
Yeah, I just read the manual I see on page 17 that it supports 2.4 and no 5.8
DJI is literally eliminating the ENTIRE racing community by not having a 5.8 option.
Furthermore, for not much on the bottom end of the cost of these Goggles, they could add a 5.8 option for almost no money and for a TINY bit of money add a "diversity" set up which switches to 5.8 to 2.4 based on which ever happens to be stronger (whily flying. It's atually amazing tech).
This would be good not only for racers but for everyone. I am absolutely floored by the lack of 5.8 support AT ALL, let alone in the form of diversity.
And the answer to your question, yes I could go through HDMI but when you are freestyling or racing, the latency of the downlink is measured in milliseconds and each millisecond matters. You can't go 80mph around a corner and have a bit of latency and while the latency in the sky on a Mavic or a Phantom is virtually unnoticeable even by way of HDMI, you would be on the ground after hitting a tree in a racing scenario.
SUGGESTION BOX FOR DJI: Add at a very minimum a 5.8 option for racers and freestylers even if it remains purely digital and maybe on your DJI Goggles 2, have a diversity option and an analogue one so I can use it for all my needs. I LOVE my photo birds (even though currently I can't set a homepoint on any of them) and I also love my racing and freestyle DIY gear but I can't see buying the DJI Goggles as much as I want them when I can buy another pair of Goggles that I can use, albeit not as taylor made for DJI products as the DJI Goggles.
The 85 degree FOV is SICK and must be absolutely immersive and might be the reason why they are not even trying to cater to the racing community as even 50 degrees is too big for some but I love it. Can't get wide enough unless it starts bending which I am sure these don't. UGH! So frustrated as I will probably get these and just have to finally get a pair of other diversity Goggles.
I will probably by the latest Aomway with diversity built in over the Fat Shark ones because they are clearer but they are just for racing really and not what I wanted for my photo birds. I guess in the end they are very different but I was so hoping that DJI would spend a couple extra bucks on these and make it so they could be tailored for people like myself who want both.
Aside from myself, I know a ton of racers and freestylers that aside from parts, don't have any photo birds and will be upset to learn that these are strictly 2.4. Most ASSUMED they would be 5.8 and were just waiting to see if diversity would be built in or not. Not even close.
DJI was first a part of the DIY community before they started with the Phantoms and such of the world and still are to a certain extent but they might have been able to regain a lot of monetery pick back up from the DIY community with these goggles as I know people were waiting to find out if they would be racer and freestyle friendly. I don't even know if they realized that there was a massive community waiting on these goggles that will be dissapointed that they don't have a 5.8 and/or a diversity module.
To be clear to everyone with Mavics, Phantoms, Inspires and the like, this does not efffect you and I am sure these goggles are amazing for the purposes of photgrapgy which is why I want them, just don't plan on using them for or if you want to be racing or freestyling.
Shame. Oh well. Will still probably be getting them, lol. You wont find a good pair of goggles like these with 85 degree FOV. That's pretty amazing.
