DJI Goggles Racing Edition

DJI Goggles Racing Edition (hereafter abbreviated as “DJI Goggles RE”) are equipped
with high-performance displays and an ultra-low latency video downlink for use with DJI™ aircraft, giving you a real-time First Person View (FPV) aerial experience. DJI Goggles RE can also be used to display HD videos, bringing you a more immersive high-definition viewing experience. DJI Goggles RE support head tracking, allowing both aircraft and gimbal to be controlled with head movements for a whole new style of flying. *
Precisely engineered for racing, DJI Goggles RE are compatible with DJI’s advanced OCUSYNC™ video transmission module, supporting both analog and 2.4/5.8 GHz dual-band digital video signal with up to 7 km transmission distance and latency as low as 50 ms. DJI Goggles RE comes with a set of three compatible antennas for different scenarios. The DJI OcuSync Air System comes equipped with an array of powerful features, such as 1280×960 HD transmission, automatic Frequency-Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) transmission, and access to up to 19 selectable transmission channels. This module is compatible with a variety of multi-rotor and fixed-wing aircraft.

Installation and Wearing

|
---|---
Insert the Headband Buckle into the slot above the DJI Goggles RE body.| Wear the DJI Goggles RE and adjust the Headband.
|
Adjust interpapillary distance.| Flip the DJI Goggles RE body to see outside.

Check the Battery Level and Charging

Press once to check the battery level.
Press once, then again and hold to turn on/off.

The Battery is fully charged when the Charging Status Indicator or the Battery
Level Indicators turn off.
Charge time: ~ 4 hours Maximum run-time: ~ 6 hours

Module Connections

When using with third-party racing drones, you can choose between either analog or digital video transmission. Please follow the instructions below for installation and connection.
Skip this section if you plan on using the goggles with a dedicated DJI drone.
Analog Video Transmission
Install the Pagoda antenna (SMA interface) to the SMA Port of DJI Goggles RE directly.

• The analog frequency band is 5.650 GHz – 5.925 GHz, of which 5.725 GHz – 5.850 GHz are ISM frequency bands. You may use these frequencies without permission but please follow local regulatory procedures when using the other frequency bands.
• The Pagoda antenna is an omnidirectional left hand circularly polarized (LHCP) antenna design. It is recommended to use the Pagoda antenna or other left hand circularly polarized antennas for analog transmitters to get the best transmission performance.
• In a multi-aircraft flying environment, the adjacent frequency interval should be higher than 25 MHz to avoid the live view of your DJI Goggles RE being affected by a nearby frequency.

Digital Video Transmission
In addition to install the Pagoda antenna (SMA interface) to the SMA Port of the DJI Goggles RE, you will also need to install the DJI OcuSync Air System on a third-party racing drone to work with the goggles. Refer to the illustration below to mount and connect the modules onto your aircraft. 3-in-1 Cable (Power, S.Bus, UART)

• The S.Bus Port and the PPM Port on the Air Unit are only used when transmitting the remote control signal.
• These ports don’t need to be connected if video downlink is used only.
• There are up to 19 channels (5.8 GHz: 12 channels, 2.4 GHz: 7 channels) for digital video transmission, and each bandwidth is 10 MHz. You can select the transmission channel manually to avoid interference from other devices.
• Please be aware that the Air Unit may become very hot during, or after operation. DO NOT touch it before it has cooled down sufficiently.
• Please avoid using the Air Unit for an extended time when there is no external cooling equipment.
• Otherwise, it might get overheated and enter into overheat protection mode. Wait for the module to cool down and then you can restart it. It is recommended to have an external fan installed to dissipate heat.
• Place the two antennas on the Air Unit vertically and parallel to each other at least 30 mm apart. Please note that you should avoid placing the antennas level with any type of conductor. Also, make sure to keep the bottom of the antenna at least 25 mm away from potential conductors like cables, carbon fiber frames, batteries, and metals, etc.
• If you are only using the Air Unit to transmit the downstream video signal, DO NOT use the same frequency band as the upstream control signal to avoid interference.

omnidirectional, small size, recommended for racing. Do not use this antenna
when using the 2.4 GHz frequency band.
Cylindrical Antenna| Dual-frequency circular polarization omnidirectional, providing a smooth video transmission experience.
Dipole Antenna| Dual-frequency linear polarization omnidirectional, suitable for close-up flight.

After familiarizing yourself with the digital video transmission, you can connect the trainer port of a third-party remote controller and the audio port on the DJI Goggles RE through the trainer cable to transmit the control signal to the racing drone.

Activation and Connection
