Meanwhile I am quite sure that DJI will NEVER support the goggles for the Mini!
First, the goggles are running a simplified and adapted version of the 32 bit compatible GO4 app, while the Mini is using the Fly app, requiring a 64 bit Android OS.
Second, DJI has made a major fault for saving few $$ by removing all buttons and switches (except for RTH) from the MM remote, all must be operated via the mobile device touchscreen now.
If you are flying a Mavic Pro with the goggles, you usually do most operation by using the 5 way button as well as the C1 and C2 buttons at the remote instead of using the goggles touchpad and its two buttons. The goggles firmware can get almost fully remote controlled by these function buttons, so no need for removing your right hand from the remote stick.
So, even if they would make work displaying the MM video stream on the goggles, simple things such as switching between position/sport/cinematic mode would not be possible in a simple way. If they would implement the goggles touchscreen for that, the pilot would always need taking his right hand off the remote for operating menus at the goggles. And now imagine a stress situation or an emergency, it won't work, at least not for less experienced pilots.
I am already familiar with this problem when flying with my smartphone goggles mentioned before. I am using a one-handed Bluetooth controller for operating the Fly app and always have to get it out of my pocket with one hand, operate the Fly app and then store it away before getting my hand back onto the remote.
So, e.g. switching to sports mode can easily take up to 10 seconds. But I am used to that and can handle it. Anyone else too?
