DJI Goggles N3 – $229 Goggles For Everyone!

Ever since the came out, many people have been requesting a cheaper alternative to the Goggles 3. Well, now we have it: here are the DJI Goggles N3, and in today’s video, I’ll let you know everything you need to know about this brand new product.

Compatibility

The N3 are a brand new product that caters to FPV enthusiasts who want to use their DJI Neo or Avata 2 drones and fly them in FPV mode. This is available only for those specific models, so it doesn’t work with the O3 air unit for now. DJI told me that the only models that work with the Goggles N3 are the DJI Neo and the 2.

Design and Comfort of the DJI Goggles N3

We have a new boxy design which makes the Goggles N3 a lot bigger and more comfortable. The new foam is a lot thicker, bigger in general, and more comfortable to wear for longer periods.

Technical Specifications

Inside, we have:

  • 1080p full HD 60 frames per second screen
  • 60 Hz refresh rate
  • 54° field of view
  • Two transmitting and four receiving antennas for more stable signal
  • Support for 2.4, 5.1, and 5.8 GHz frequencies
  • Automatic frequency band selection

Battery Life

The battery is integrated into the back of the strap, similar to what we’ve seen in other DJI Goggles. It provides a maximum battery life of 2.7 hours of running time.

Adjustability

When it comes to fitment, you can tighten or loosen the knob to adjust the size of these goggles and how tight they fit on your head. There are no diopter adjustments underneath the screen because DJI states that you can wear these with your glasses on.

Glasses Compatibility Test

To test glasses compatibility, I loosened them a little, removed my cap, and kept my sunglasses on. After tightening them slightly, they fit perfectly fine with zero light leak, though they needed a slight adjustment for comfort. This is particularly important since there’s no diopter customization available.

Physical Features

On the top of the goggles, you’ll find:

  • 5D button for menu navigation
  • Back button
  • Ventilation
  • SD card slot
  • USB-C port for charging and smartphone view sharing
  • Foldable antennas
  • Power button on the right side

Pricing of the DJI Goggles N3

The Goggles N3 are priced at $229 per pair, which is incredibly competitive for FPV goggles. This makes it more affordable than ever to dive into the FPV world with your Avata 2 or DJI Neo.

Field Testing Experience

Testing was conducted at a beautiful historic location in Bulgaria. Despite windy conditions, which weren’t ideal for flying a drone like the Avata 2 (especially at the lagoon where the wind was quite strong), we proceeded with testing.

The flight experience revealed:

  • Strong signal performance even at half a kilometer distance
  • Clear visibility of the home point and surrounding caves
  • Impressive precision when navigating around rocks
  • Consistent signal strength throughout the flight

During testing, I considered flying through a narrow space but decided against it, noting, “I don’t think that’s possible to go through here, and I’m sure I will crash if I do it, so it’s not a good idea.” This was particularly important as I was flying under my line of sight, which required extra caution to maintain direct visibility with the drone to prevent possible crashes or signal loss.

Comfort During Extended Use

Throughout the flight tests, the goggles remained firmly attached with no light leaks. The foam material proved to be softer and more comfortable than the Goggles 3, making it a definite improvement in terms of comfort for extended wear.

Power Loop Feature

The new Power Loop easy Acro mode was extensively tested. By simply pressing up on the joystick, the drone performs a perfect power loop. While the loop ends higher in the air for safety (instead of continuing into a dive), it creates an exciting roller coaster-like experience. This feature, though perhaps gimmicky for advanced pilots, offers beginners a taste of acrobatic flying.
