What about this 6 page conversation?

byhead here. I too had this range prob disapprear after UPGRADE latest FW via ASS2 latest
to M2P 0400, GOG RE to v 0700 running go4 on IPHONE 8 latest on GO4 4.3.12
and I get great range.  On 4-23-19    [4.3.16 is out, loading it tonight 5-3-19]

I AGREE, THE DUAL MODE FIX UNDER .0400 IS THE DEALEO!!!!  So i don't believe they need REPAIR

gosh how i wish the posters would NAME THEIR FIRMWARE AND GO4 AND PHONE TYPE OR SC.

Come on now Mindy, what do you think now???

Hi Mindy,

I've just sent off my Goggles to the Australian Service Center.  Are you able to ask them to test the Goggles in 1080, upto the range that I've shown in my video.  If they are able to provide a video, it would be appreciated.

I see our manager from the Customer Care Team has handled your case, I will take a note in the case and follow up.

It came out about 2 weeks ago, on the 17th as per release notes, maybe a couple of days later in practice.

I've also left my SD card in the Goggles.  Can you please make note in my case file, as I don't want to lose it.  Many thanks.

Hi. I noticed that your original post wasn't responded to.  You were asking about DJI honouring your warranty if you purchased your goggles from a third party.  Did you hold onto your goggles, and not send them in for repair? Did you manage to take your goggles out with your M2 and not have them crash/freeze? Did you have the settings as shown on post #132? How far did you manage to travel? Sorry for all of the questions.

Sure, I will inform the team, just to verify another thing, did you test it with the Pagoda Antenna attached?

I should receive my replacement goggles tomorrow. Without getting too technical, I will test them ASAP to see if the issue has been resolved, for those of you who are keeping score , anyways.

Hi Rfern, please make sure all the firmware has been updated to the latest version before the test. Besides, please attach the Pagoda antenna properly and test if it remains in 2.4G and 5.8G.

I hope you’re right Mr ByHead.I’m updating all my firmwares and doing a range check.
I purchased the Goggles RE in Hong Kong but live in UK, so the prospect of returning them for warranty repair or refund is just going to end in tears.

so what's the Joke? is it a hardware issue? software/firmware issue? or a combination of both!! I am sure glad I waited until now before opening my Brand New in Box DJI RE Goggles that I will now gladly open now that the Beta testing period is over!


I will report back if I have any range issues. The goggles and my hardware have all the latest Software and Firmware updates.

so why did DJI have them sent in for repair if it's just a firmware update that resovles the range issue??

New goggles have been received. All firmware is updated. Im aiming for tomorrow morning to test them but the weather here in NY has been dismal to say the least. I will post after I test them wether it be tomorrow or the next. Hope for the best

Hi bobsma, we are still locating the problem, we've tested many devices that customer sent in and all worked fine. We are wondering if the pagoda antenna was not installed properly by the customers, if you have any feedback, please feel free to let us know.

When I had the problem it didn't matter whether the antenna was on or not.

Did you make sure to test customer units with aircraft/remotes that were on the normal public firmware and not an engineering release?

This "we are still locating the problem" should have been resolved by now. Without knowing the customer environment ie: Firmware of 'Camera', RC, Phone type, OS version, APP version, Goggle DOM/Serial #/Firmware Version, and where the 'Camera' was flown for testing as in 'Wide Open Flat Area' or 'Obstruction Ladden Populated Area', the Altitude of the 'Camera' during the testing and the topology of possible interference as in download an app to locate: Broadcast, Cellular, Microwave towers I can imagine your technicians are not duplicating the problem.
I can hope that this information was PM to you.

Thanks

thank you, what I don't understand is: In order to get maximum range, why are some not needing the Antenna while some are? And don't the instructions tell you the antenna isn't needed? I bet in time, someone will chime in with all the facts and I hope it's DJI first. When I get the corrective lenses, I will let you know how things work out. I will use the Antenna for "peace of mind" until I hear otherwise.

Hi Airheadbit,

Whether the environment is surrounded with noisy Broadcast, Microwave towers, etc., the issue is still happening just before the 1.25 mile mark; the magic number which DJI mention during the Mavic 2 Product launch (see post #25, section "DJI Mavic 2 Product Launch"), which is the distance which Ocusync 2.0 can transmit up until on the 2.4 Ghz spectrum at FHD.  Once the M2 travels beyond that distance, the FHD signal should be transmitted on the 5.8Ghz spectrum (FHSS).  Presumably the FHD should start on 5.8Ghz range IMHO (not that we can tell which frequency the M2 is transmitting on, and nor does it matter when set to dual transmission mode).

What the video clearly shows is that when leaving the 1.25 mile range, the goggles and RC freeze, and recover when the goggles are turned off.  Further to that, when the M2 is at some distance, beyond the 1.25 mile range, and the goggles are turned back on, the RC crashes, without the goggles even showing an image; and once again recovers when the goggles are switched off.

As I said above, the RF noise of the local towers doesn't play a part in the functionality of the Goggles nor RC.

If we knew additional information, such as initial goggle and RC frequency upon the start of the transmission, happens when the goggles and RC freeze (such as frequency change from either the goggles or RC) and is the Goggles and RC interfering with each other, etc., which on DJI knows, we'd have a better understanding of the issue, but we don't.

Whether the pagoda antenna is installed or not, the Goggles and RC crashes before the magical 1.25 mile range, and any distance after that.

DJI stated during the product launch, that only the 5.8 Ghz frequency is capable of transmitting FHD up until 5 miles, whereas the 2.4 Ghz frequency is only capable of transmitting FHD up until 1.25 miles.

I personally wouldn't be surprised if there is an issue transmitting to both the goggles and RC at the same time on the 5.8 Ghz frequency, whether that the M2 can't transmit to two devices on the 5.8Ghz frequency simultaneously or that there is interference between the goggles and RC when transmission occurs on the 5.8 Ghz frequency.

then why are some not having any range issues? and some even say the new DJI Smart Controller has resolved this range issue. I will report back with my testing as I have both the RE Goggles ...yet to be activated and a new DJI Smart Controller I have that I will test for range with and without the Goggles versus the regular controller with and without the Goggles.

People have reported the dual remote feature worked with the standard RC updated to .400 but not the aircraft, so it is somewhat likely that what solves the issue is in the RC firmware. Smart Controllers probably have FWs from after public standard controller .0300 and already had the issue fixed...

Okay, take it for what it’s worth. I received my new replacement goggles, and tested them in limited ways. Keep in mind , I received a brand new , in the box , UPDATED FIRMWARE , set of goggles. I have had no completely disconnecting of the goggles like the last pair at 600 yards . I’ve been out to 2000 meters with them with no disconnect but they do become choppy after about 1000 meters depending on the terrain, but again , no disconnect. I have shut off the goggles to see if I can get more range without them and it seems it is not a factor.( I’m in a very rural area with hilly mountainous terrain). I used the antenna and set everything to dual and auto on HD and normal mode. You tell me.

Thanks for that just can't find anything for official distance different settings would just make it easier for people to know what their goggles are doing we need something that covers all frequency. No offense meant.
