DJI has introduced a new affordable headset designed to address complaints for FPV drones. previous model. The $229 Goggles N3 It offers improved comfort over the Goggles 3 and allows users to wear their goggles for half the price, albeit with lower OLED displays and a limited selection of drones.
Goggles 3 can cause discomfort due to insufficient padding and poorly distributed excess weight. The Goggles N3 solves this problem with a larger, but somehow lighter, extra cushioning and excellent balance. At the same time, it can even accommodate fairly large glasses, so you no longer need to make diopter adjustments or order special lenses for conditions like astigmatism.
It comes with a 1080p display and a wider field of view than the Goggles 3, 54 degrees instead of 44. Picture quality isn’t as good technically, as the display has been reduced to a single LCD instead of the dual Micro-OLED screens as before.
The Goggles N3 uses DJI’s O4 transmission system with bit rates up to 60 Mbps. The battery is integrated into the headset as before and can run it up to 2.7 hours, down from 3 hours on the Goggles 3. It only offers smartphone live streaming over USB-C, no Wi-Fi sharing. is available. Now you can only use it with two drones DJI Neo and Avata 2where the previous model also worked with Air 3 and Mini 4 Pro.
As for controllers, it supports DJI’s RC Motion 3 or FPV Remote Control 3. As with Goggles 3, it allows head tracking for camera control, and the new feature comes with an augmented reality cursor that can be used when paired with RC Motion 3. You can also power loops, flips, rolls and other tricks with one touch. Finally, it offers a new one-touch demist feature that activates a fan to instantly clear any mist.
I tested the Glasses N3 with both the Avata 2 and Neo and was impressed. The comfort was much better than before, after less than an hour of use, the forehead was not painfully pressed. Instead, it felt like it was barely there and stayed comfortable even after an hour or so of use. Better yet, I could remove the earpiece when I needed to see around without messing with my glasses. Image quality was sharp and bright and didn’t feel like a huge downgrade from the Goggles 3.
Goggles N3 is a headset now on pre-order for $229 From DJI and AmazonA big discount on Goggles 3, I can see many negatives. You can also order the Neo drone as part of the DJI Neo Motion Fly More Combo (for €529 or £449 in Europe only), which includes the Goggles N3, RC Remote 3, three batteries and a charging hub. Shipping will start later this month, hopefully there is no delay by the state.
