So the Mavic Air has been out for a month now. I preordered so have been having an absolute blast with my first “real” drone. Carefully reviewing the forums, and have been lucky to avoid any of the issues discussed elsewhere.

I got the $100 coupon for the DJI Goggles when I purchased. I thought I’d hold off and fly for a bit to see if they would be worth it. IT’S DECISION TIME!!!

Should I spend $349 of my cash to get these?

I have read every thread on them with Air. All about the problems. Seems like the recent firmware update has resolved much. I’m looking for any positive opinions?

Who out there has been using this combo successfully and feel like it adds to the experience?

I admit that it sounds like an amazing perspective, but I do fear potential limitations with the Air. Should I expect continued firmware improvements? Is a new giggle release pending and would that even make a difference for the Air?

Sorry it’s such a general discussion, but I suspect a lot of other Air pilots are on the fence like me!

I would strongly suggest not, at least not with the Air. I have two pairs of the goggles, one original and one the RE version (love them both), and the only aircraft they're pleasant to use with is the Mavic Pro. Mainly because you can run the goggles wirelessly and at the same time as a phone or tablet. With the other drones you either have to reload an older firmware (which is a bit of an extended process with 3rd party stuff out on the internet) or you have to do a bunch of messing about with plugging in a phone then taking it out and plugging in the goggles. That latter you would have to do with the Air which would reduce the fun factor and usefulness and increase the hassle factor by quite a bit.

If you're really devoted to the goggles (as I am), don't get the Air. In fact, don't get anything except the Mavic Pro. That machine is really the only good option of all the drones for using with the goggles. The video downlink on the P4P in 1080p mode is spectacular, but you have to hassle with the plugs, or go back to an older firmware as I have, etc....
