The Virtual Reality Goggles aren't for me...they're for the Director of Photography.

I was patiently waiting for DJI to inergrate FPV goggles into their collection. I knew they'd make a solid showing in function and ease of use across all their quadcopter platforms. I have been dying to be immersed into the flight like a tactical pilot and improve my technical flying skills. But, to be honest I was unable to truly justify their cost until I realized, duh, these aren't for me, they're for my client.
 

 
So it turns out my clients absolutely love them. Directors and scouts now have an incredible tool to help them get the right shot. After all that's the most important thing besides safety. I was pleased with my clients enthusiasm to work with me again and thrilled they experienced the value I was looking for. It provided them with much more control of the gimbal and its motions.
 

 
Thanks DJI:)
 

 
Some highlights of the Goggles:
 

 
Two screens on their optics carrying higher resolution than single screens (check out the specs below for details on their resolution)
 
You can see crisp detail—almost forget you’re looking through goggles
 
Light glare is not a limiting factor with Ocusync technology while wearing the goggles
 
You don’t experience “stuttering” when moving the Mavic laterally
 
85 degree field of view
 
There is a slight delay in sync—110 milliseconds from the Mavic to the goggles, but it’s not noticeable
 
Sync bypasses controller so it’s a direct sync to the goggles
 

 
You can use the goggles to access the menus by the track pad on the side of the goggles and a few key buttons underneath
 
You can use your remote to control the goggles with a toggle and function buttons
 
You can can fly the Mavic Pro with the goggles
 
All of the displays that you would get on your phone screen is inside the goggles
 
Head tracking capabilities: 1) gimbal works separately from flight controls to view surroundings and 2) use it to move the Mavic itself
 
Two screens can link to the same Mavic to watch at the same time
