Hello everyone! Today I want to talk about tips for using the DJI FPV goggles
so I've been using these DJI FPV goggles for well over a year now and in that time
I've learned a couple of tips and tricks that I thought it would be worth sharing since there's
a lot of new people out there in just in the last couple weeks who've recently got a pair of DJI FPV
goggles whether they're new and they're using it with an FPV drone or maybe they got it with the
DJI FPV drone or maybe they got their goggles separately and pairing them with a drone that
they built themselves either way the goggles are the same and there's some of the same tips
apply to both so the very first thing I learned the hard way is that this little power cable
falls out easily now that's not true for everybody some people don't seem to have a problem with that
and especially maybe on the second version of the goggles people don't seem to have as much
of a problem with the way that they have them plugged in but i learned this like I mentioned
I learned this the hard way I was out flying one of my first or second flights and the power cable
came out just enough to turn the goggles off and i had to sort of crash-land it into a field
my quick and simple way to solve this I found it online was to just put a little zip tie
around the cable around this holder there and it has never fallen out since
another option there's a 3d printable piece that you can put in roughly that same location
to hold it in other people just kind of wrap the power cord around the goggle strap area whatever
you do i think it's well worth that to try to make sure that that doesn't fall out something to be
aware of the second thing people notice right off the bat is that they don't always fit your face
some people's faces it seems to fit better than others and for me it's not too bad but i did use
a 3d printed shim that i put here along the side one on each side that sort of narrows down the
the foam a little bit so that it's a little bit closer on the sides of my face and a little bit
less light gets into the sides not that light leak is really a problem because the goggles are really
bright and i can actually see a lot of stuff around my nose and i use that all the time to kind
of look down at my pick things up or look down at the radio but if it doesn't fit your face very
well try those 3d printed shims if your face is a little narrower like mine or DJI now has a thicker
foam you can put on them and i think there is a couple of other third parties that also sell foam
that fit the DJI goggles now so another question i see asked all the time is what if you need to wear
glasses in order to see the screens very well in the goggles well one nice thing about the
DJI goggles is that if your glasses are not huge they will actually fit right inside the goggles
now even with these 3d printed shims i can fit my goggles in or my my glasses into the goggles
but i kind of have to pull the the foam around just a little bit so they fit but if i'm careful
i can get my glasses in there and still see just fine it's a little annoying because i have to be
careful if i just pull the glasses off goggles off my face they'll grab these edges of my glasses and
try to pull them off but otherwise you can fit a lot of glasses right inside the goggles but if
you don't want to do it that way there are some i think well DJI first of all made some lens inserts
that you could snap in there they don't seem to be available anymore i don't know if they've just
decided to stop making them or what but there are other third-party companies like RHO lens i know
there's a lot of people out there who've had a lot of success using those they're a little bit spendy
but you can get those and snap them in here and then you won't have to wear your glasses either
there's also some 3d printable adapters you can get too take apart your old glasses and
attach the 3d printed piece and put them in here now my 3d print didn't turn out quite well enough
so that it doesn't actually snap in there but if it did then i could use this old pair of glasses i
took apart and kind of stick them in there you've got lots of options if you need them now this
other tip is extremely important never let the sun shine directly into the goggles the sunlight will
get into these lenses and it will focus like a magnifying glass onto the screens and it will burn
the image it'll burn the screens and you'll get a green dot or green stripe and you'll
basically ruin your goggles so if you're out in the field and you're flying don't ever just set
your goggles down like this and let the sun in them even if they're hanging around your neck
sun can get in there so be extremely careful about where the sun is at all times and if it's coming
into the goggles because it doesn't take very long at all I'm not exactly sure how long but
even a minute is probably way too long for the direct sunlight to be shining in there another
suggestion i have is if you can get a 3d print like this one and any time you take
the goggles off drop that 3d printed piece in there so that your lenses are always protected
if you don't have that even just a rag or a sock or something or put your goggles into a bag but
just never set them down in a way that the sun gets direct access to those lenses because it
doesn't take long at all and you will ruin them and you will have a bad day so that's all the
tips i have for right now I'm sure a few of you who are watching this have a whole bunch of other
tips and I'd love it if you'd leave those down in the comments on this video and thanks for watching
