DJI has introduced a new affordable headset for FPV drones designed to address complaints about its previous model. He $229 N3 Glasses It offers greater comfort than the Goggles 3 and allows users to wear their glasses, all for less than half the price, albeit with a downgrade from OLED screens and a limited selection of drones.
Goggles 3 may cause discomfort due to insufficient padding and excessive, poorly distributed weight. The N3 Goggles largely eliminate this problem with a design that is larger but somehow lighter, with additional cushioning and excellent balance. At the same time, it can accommodate even quite large glasses, so there is no longer a need to make diopter adjustments or order special lenses for conditions such as astigmatism.
It comes with a 1080p display and a wider field of view than the Goggles 3, at 54 degrees instead of 44 degrees. However, the image quality is not technically as good, as the screen is reduced to a single LCD screen instead of two Micro-OLED screens as before.
The Goggles N3 uses DJI's O4 transmission system with a bit rate of up to 60 Mbps. The battery is built into the headset as before and can run for up to 2.7 hours, slightly less than the Goggles 3's 3 hours. It only offers live streaming sharing with a smartphone via USB-C, without Wi-Fi sharing. available. You can now use it with just two drones, the DJI Neo and the Avata 2, where the previous model also worked with the Air 3 and Mini 4 Pro.
As for the drivers, it is compatible DJI RC Motion 3 either FPV Remote Controller 3. As with the Goggles 3, it allows head tracking for camera control and comes with a new feature, an augmented reality cursor that can be used when combined with the RC Motion 3. You can also loop power, flips, spins and moves with just one touch. other tricks. Finally, it offers a new one-touch defogging feature that activates a fan to instantly remove any fog.
I tested the N3 Goggles with both the Avata 2 and Neo, and was impressed. Comfort was much better than before, with no forehead pinching that bordered on pain after less than an hour of use. Rather, it felt like it was barely there and remained comfortable even after about an hour of wear. Better yet, I could take off the headphones when I needed to see my surroundings without having to search for my glasses. The image quality was sharp and bright, and didn't seem like a huge downgrade from the Goggles 3.
Goggles N3 headphones are now on pre-order for $229a big discount on the Goggles 3 without many drawbacks that I can see. You can also order it (Europe only for now at €529 or £449) as part of the DJI Neo Motion Fly More Combo, which includes the Neo drone, Goggles N3, RC Remote 3, three batteries and a charging hub. Shipping will begin later this month and hopefully there will be no delays in the United States.
