This morning I received my Goggles RE headset back from the DJI Service Center in Australia. I then proceeded to charge my 3 Mavic 2 Batteries, Controller and DJI Goggles and was desperate to test out my setup. Would you believe it, today has been the windiest day (17 km/h) I’ve seen in more than 3 months, so I was extremely hesitant to test my DJI gear. Knowing that the WHOLE (I’m joking) community was depending on me, I couldn’t help but test the Goggles, etc., so I headed out to the top of the hill, where the wind is strongest and also one of the locations where my Mavic 2 and Goggles RE froze. I set the LiveView to 1080p30, made sure that both Controller and Goggles were set to ‘dual band’, configured all of the normal settings and decided to take off. Off I flew to where my Goggles and Controller froze, hoping to not have a “crashed” (excuse the pun). And ... no issues, the Goggles and Mavic 2 behaved how I expected them too, plus the controller and goggles could lose signal independently without affecting the other. I can’t go into how I tested the setup, because I’m sure that the local Civial Aviation body wouldn’t be happy.
I do have a couple of proviso though:
- the response time between drone and receiver was laggy, maybe that was due to my iPhone 6 struggling to screen record and display the video feed.
- this is the first time I’ve tested the set up and the issue may still exist.
- I was very scared to fully test the set up due to the high winds.
- it seemed that the RTH function didn’t automatically start as expected, even though it was correctly set up, but this maybe due to the lag, etc.
- new serial number and covered with cellophane, so the goggles may have been replaced
I’ll continue to test the Mavic 2 and Goggles RE and if an issue arises, I’ll inform the community.
I do want to express one thing, DJI should (100%) cover the costs of this repair for everyone that purchased the Goggles RE.
