My experience / what works for me so far with the Epson Moverio BT-300 goggles

I did some adjustment / setting in the Android 5.1 "accessibility":
- Large text = on
- Touch delay = short
- Hold sensitivity = high

I installed APKPure and use it for side loading of programs and updating programs:
- My DJI Go 4 application version is the latest version 4.3.36

I installed Bluetooth Pair program and use a gembird bluetooth mouse for easier setting up things (at home)
I installed X-plore file manager for easier control of files, deleting files and side loading programs

I installed a modified YouTube program "10 24 55", it works ok - rarely used
I installed WIFI Analyser - rarely used
I installed VLC 3.2.12 media player for access of my movies on WIFI / Windows 10 at home - rarely used
I de-installed Chrome, the native browser works OK

I de-installed Litchi 4.0.2 = no life display, support for Mavic Air is from Litchi 4.6.0...
I de-installed Litchi 4.8.0 = crashes when connecting to DJI Mavic Air remote controller

I installed STACK, my cloud file service (stackstorage.com, Netherlands) - rarely used
I installed OsmAnd 3.6.3 with off line maps, works OK but rarely used. GPS connection outside = OK.

I use the darkest shade and the nose pad for glasses
I wear prescription multi focal glasses
Some left / right pushing adjustment to have the full Android desktop or application focused - the edges are also in focus
I have a good view on a sunny day and I am able to see above and below the goggles as well
Good battery life of the goggles, best charging with the supplied Epson charger

The camera of the goggles is low resolution and poor quality... no use for me

Conclusion
It is a real pleasure flying my DJI Mavic Air with the goggles.
I now fly without constant video recording (use previously). Now when the scene is worthwhile "goggle view" I film or take picture = true flying camera
Other use (YouTube, VLC, OsmAnd, ...) was just some fun experimenting but no real use for me.

It is a pity that DJI Mavic mini and Mavic Air 2 are not supported on the goggles 32 bit/Android 5.1/Lollipop (I will not upgrade, goggles investment was high)

The DJI Mavic Air is still a wonderfull drone - the Epson Moverio BT-300 a good companion

I love my 300's and Mavic Pro Gen I.
Did you do the OS updates to the Moverios that came out a while ago?
I never had a heating issue, some folks have said they did, and one of the 2 OS updates "seems to have helped"?
I keep mine bare bones also, go4 app is the only thing installed. I have been using 4.0.4 of the go4 app, zero issues.
Playing with the NLD version of the Go4 app...

After unpacking the Epson Moverio BT-300 goggles I installed with Moverio Apps Market:
- DJI Go 4
- Epson WebView Installer (now de-installed after upgrade)

Android 5.1.1 was upgraded and now has Build number RD1.5.0 (kernel 3.14.37 April 8 2019)
I know there is a RD1.7.0 but no upgrade is done...

DJI Go 4 was later on upgraded to 4.3.36 with APKPure.
No problems flying the DJI Mavic Air!

I never had heating problems with the goggles.

When flying the drone I make sure that only DJI Go 4 is running.

The goggle/glasses have zero issue with heat, it's the processor/controller box that can run warm.

Hi all.
Just purchased the dji mavic 2 zoom/smart controller and the Epson Moverio BT-35e smart glasses.
Could someone please advise me if you can control the gimbal with head tracking with the BT-35e glasses.

Thanks in advance

Today I did successfull flights with:

Xiaomi Pocophone F1 setup with Wifi thetering 5 GHz, Apowermirror set at 1080P, definition "Ultra" and "Fluent".
Moverio BT-300 used as a "second screen" with Apowermirror and using 5 GHz Wifi!

DJI Mavic Air 1 using Wifi 2.4 GHz.

All went very smooth, no hick-ups.

It allows my BT-300 to "use"/watch Litchi!
It safeguards my BT-300 investment for future upgrades/investments (DJI Fly for Mavic Air 2 or Mavic mini)
It gives more security in case the BT-300 malfunctions (heating up)
I will now have a real dual screen - mobile phone and BT-300
I will use this setup for all future flights even for DJI Go 4. (reducing complexity on BT-300 with minimum setup & programs)

I have been using this Moverio BT-300 solution many, many times now
and I used it with DJI GO4 v4.3.36(967-official) and Litchi v4.18.0-g on a Xiaomi Pocophone F1 (Android 10)
It is ideal for DJI GO4, Litchi... and when I acquire a mini 2 it will also work for DJI Fly!
The BT-300 to "fly like a bird view", the mobile phone for quick and easy selections (f.e. photo/film luminosity, wifi selection, ...)
