DJI's entire approach to these goggles is just dumb. I spent all that money on high definition video goggles that can't do anything other than FPV drone flying. It's like buying a television that will only play ESPN and no other channels. Turning on the ability for the USB-C port on my V2 goggles to accept video in is a VERY SIMPLE feature that DJI could implement with a simple software/firmware update. Think about it. right now you can receive video in that port from your iPhone, from the simulator app, directly into your goggles. It already works!!
Opening this up via a simple toggle in the settings on the goggles would be easy. You could toggle whether you want the USB-C to be a standard video-in or not. We can take it from there. We'd be able to output video via USB-C from Macs, via HDMI to USB-C converters from anything else. And (most importantly for me) have the ability to stream/mirror an iphone to the goggles, and also play video from my iphone that isn't HDCP protected. Being able to watch movies from my phone into my goggles on a plane would be awesome.
This very simple change would make DJI complete heroes in this space across their customer base. Why? Because if they enabled phone mirroring in the goggles, all of a sudden every single DJI drone could be used via FPV and the V2 goggles. Because every drone uses the DJI Fly app, which you could now stream directly into your goggles from your phone. Even if DJI didn't mirror the entire phone, but at LEAST made the DJI Fly app play into the goggles (just like the simulator app does), it would be a HUGE step.
DJI, please get this done. Be the company that makes all of it's customers happy with a simple fix, and be the envy of the entire drone market. Companies like Skydio are starting to catch up. This simple feature would crush them all again - any DJI drone would be compatible with the v2 Goggles via the Fly app and a simple lightning to USB-C cable. You would sell a ton more sets of v2 goggles in a very short period of time. |
