Yesterday was a bit hectic with all the wildfire and mandatory evacuation (Woolsey Fire in Thousand Oaks, CA), but I finally was able to fly FPV today.
Connection was bad. I don’t know what affected it, but when I got my M2P barely 300 ft up my 1080 screen became extremely choppy, the switched to BW, then froze for what seemed like a minute.
I ended up powering goggles off, and then on the phone the image was smooth and fine.
I tried several things at lower altitude, and it worked fine, but that got me worried. If all I can use the goggles for is for a few hundred feet, that probably will be an overkill.
Other than that, controlling the dron with your head feels awesome. I noticed strange thing though: it rotated clockwise (head to my right) much more willingly that counter clockwise (head to my left). Maybe a glitch?
To be continued...

Apparently, I'm stupid. For some reason, I didn't think to use the antenna. There were two seemingly identical ones in a sealed bag, and I thought they are only needed for a non-DJI RC toys.
Once I attached the antenna, I was able to get as high as 300 meters without losing HD live view.
Life is good.

How far horizontally were you able to fly, before it cut out?

Well, with all the fires around, I’m staying home, and I didn’t want to fly it out over populated areas, as people usually get really annoyed by these things flying over their properties (I know I am , so I was only taking it up and down. Once the situation is contained I will take it out to an open space and try over there.
