Has anyone found a way to connect the new V2 goggles to the Mavic Air, not the Mavic air 2. I find it odd that the older goggles (the white ones) worked with the Mavic Air, but the newer ones don't. Any ideas out there?

Different technology this uses O3. The v1 fpv googles only ever worked with the v1 fpv system (released in 2019 was for self build fpv's ONLY). However in theory it can't be very difficult as its all on 2.4ghz & 5ghz which is what all the DJI drones work on.
Even if they just put a HDMI in port that would enable you to do lots of extra stuff with these goggles.

Hi, EroTurrem. Thanks for reaching out and posting your concern. We're sorry but the DJI FPV Goggles v2 is not compatible with the Mavic Air. Thank you for your kind understanding.

phone with usb to hdmi and then hdmi to usb c to googles v2
