DJI Goggles N3 – Affordable Yet Powerful FPV Goggles for DJI Neo

Good day folks! Shawn here from Air Photography. Today, DJI has launched a brand new set of low-cost goggles. These can be used with the DJI Neo and the DJI Avata 2. Due to the lower cost of these goggles, it’s going to help a lot of people enter the world of FPV and experience immersive flights with their DJI Neo. Up until now, the only option we had for the DJI Neo was the Goggles 3, which are an excellent set of goggles, but for some people, they were a little bit out of their budget.

DJI Goggles N3: Features and Design

These goggles are affordable and fully featured. They support head tracking, AR cursor, and Easy Acro with the DJI Neo і DJI Avata 2. With the DJI Avata 2, we get a brand new Easy Acro maneuver called Power Loops.

These goggles are styled differently – they’re a little bit larger than the Goggles 3 or Goggles 2, and that’s because they’re designed to wear over corrective eyewear. If you wear glasses, these will fit comfortably over top. This is particularly nice because with the Goggles 3 or Goggles 2, although you could adjust the prescription with the dials on the bottom, for some people with very specific prescriptions that wasn’t really an option. You could get it close but not perfect. While you could order custom lenses with your prescription, which I have featured on my channel in the past, with these new goggles, you don’t have to worry about that – you can just wear your glasses put the goggles on over top and you’re going to have perfect vision.

Technical Specifications

The goggles support 1080p at 60 frames per second at 60 Hz. They have an extremely wide field of view at 54°, giving you a nice immersive flight experience. They utilize the O4 transmission system with a 4-antenna design, providing a range of about 13 km.

Battery and Controls

There’s a built-in battery right in the headband, and just like past models, we have a dial that we can use to tighten and loosen it. According to DJI, the battery is rated for 2.7 hours.

Looking around the goggles, we have:

• Two fold-out antennas at the top
• A spot for a memory card for screen recording
• USB-C port for charging and firmware updates
• A joystick for changing settings and a back button on the right
• Power button on the side, which is also used for pairing
• Defog mode that can be activated by swiping down from the top

Menu and Settings

When you pull down from the top, you have access to:

• Head tracking
• Easy Acro
• Goggles defogging

Pull over from the side to access:

• Status menu
• Switch function to go back and forth between the DJI Avata 2 and the DJI Neo
• Camera settings, including Rock Steady mode (with the option to use Gyro Flow if preferred)

Flight Test Experience

During the test flight, the screen appeared nice and clear, crisp, and had an almost curved feel to it, making it easier to see everything. The goggles worked well with the Neo drone, demonstrating compatibility with both the Motion 3 controller and the DJI FPV 3 controller.

The test revealed beautiful fall colors, and the Neo drone proved incredibly capable for its small, lightweight size. It can be flown FPV style with the goggles or run autonomously if preferred.

Easy Acro Mode Features

The Easy Acro mode allows for various maneuvers:

• Drift functionality in different directions (controlled by joystick movement)
• Flips (right, left, back, and front)
• Rolls while flying
• Head tracking capabilities where the drone mirrors head movements for looking up, down, left, and right

Future Possibilities

DJI may make these goggles compatible with other drones down the road, as they quite often bring compatibility to other devices as time goes on.

Final Thoughts On The DJI Goggles N3

These are the Goggles N3 from DJI – a great beginner set of goggles packed full of features. They’re likely to be a great choice for some people entering the FPV drone world, especially given their affordability and full feature set.
