Still hoping for a non-goggles solution, just a standalone receiver with HDMI would be ideal

Short review here.

At least they’ve reduced the cooling requirements, glad of that

That 5th fan will make it go faster :joy:

Hahah… No chance :slight_smile:

Wonder what the price of the “cheaper” Goggles 2 will be, can you get the goggles 2 on their own at the moment? The V2 are £489 at the moment, direct from DJI. Can’t find stand alone 2’s though (still the worlds most stupid naming system!)

Price ÂŁ209

Heh there was an official thread for this. Think we talked it out over here: Digital FPV.....DJI vs HDZero vs Orqa vs Walksnail...? - #1464 by gunja99 heh

A thread that’s 1500 posts long and was started in August 21 is hardly “an official thread” for the DJI O3. :wink:

I meant this was the official one, should have checked before I posted earlier!

So here’s one i didn’t share (loads of lovely footage ones out there), but this is a great video showing what’s compatible with what!

Edit: he still bitter, lol

I did mention you lot in the original post :grinning:

I know, but was only “launched” today, and sold out quicker than a Peter Kaye gig unfortunately :frowning:

Interesting info from MadsTech for anyone planning on using the DJI FPV 2 remote with the new O3 Air Unit

Hi, I’m in need of some answers please if someone has or knows about the capabilities of the DJI O3 Air Unit.

Basically I’m looking to use on in another application, I’d like to put one on a small RC tracked vehicle that I’m going to modify to use a better RC (DJI FPV Controller or Radiomatster Boxer ELRS controller) with a PWM compatible receiver / fixed wing flight controller (something like: Matek F405-WTE Flight Controller STM32F405RGT6), and brushed motor speed controllers.

My questions are:
Is it possible to take photos with the DJI O3 Air unit (yes I know that this is probably not the purpose of FPV… but I need some high resolution images)
Is it possible to use head tracking with the DJI Goggles 2 + DJI O3 Air Unit >> betaflight? {this is more of a just wondering question}

thanks for taking the time if you are able to reply, much appreciated.

{thanks for moving, anywhere for the most foot fall} :+1:

Moved your post to this general catch-all thread on the O3 Air.

o3 air unit has me really confused
it obviously has the capability for digital FPV via DJI compatible goggles

what I cannot seem to understand is why few seem to use the DJI controller with it and instead use a separate controller (such as elrs or crossfire etc)

since our northern outing today I have been looking at AR wings, and I could not seem to find a DJI o3 compatible flight controller for a flying wing (2x servo plus ESC control only)

I know the o3 outputs controller signals on sbus, but what am I missing?

I found a hack to allow the o3 air unit to output in full power (did not know that was required if the o3 air unit was not connected to a flight controller)

and I found that you can get a mobula 8 that is built with (includes) an o3 air unit… but uses elrs… hence another controller required. (there is also a lite version that accommodates the o3 air unit (and the FC operates or elrs) but it does not ship with an o3 air unit)… check your prices when buying if you are interested

back to the original question… why no one using a DJI controller as the o3 air unit combines both in one box via the sbus output (what have I missed?)

The SpeedyBee Wing controller will do it has the SBUS

Why do I use the TX16S instead of the RC2? Full sized gimbles, and have it all there, and ERLS > the DJI RC connection… More channels, betetr range, more telem… I had the gear anyways, why not use it. Hate the RC2 compared to the TX16S…

Link to FC for ya too. Has a photo with the plug on already :slight_smile:

I guess it’s because a lot of the FPV guys have custom builds, etc. The Vista/O3 is an upgrade from analogue so you already have a controller of kind. Most won’t have a DJI FPV drone (the potato or mini potato), so…

If I could ELRS the DJI FPV or the Avata… It’d be done by now :wink:
