DJI Goggles N3 Review - Another Great Value For Money Product

So good!

DJI has been absolutely paving the way this year, with the super affordable DJI Neo drone absolutely being the budget king in the way of drones, and the new N3 Goggles are a great way to get that FPV action without breaking the bank.

To put it into perspective how good the value is here, The DJI Neo Motion Fly More Combo that includes the DJI Neo Drone, the new Goggles N3, a RC Motion 3 controller, two extra batteries and a charger cost less at $839 AUD than the Goggles 3 at $869.

For most people, especially those that are buying a Neo as their first drone, won’t be missing much either going from the Goggles 3 to the Goggles N3. There’s some things that are honestly quite better on the N3, then a few other flagship features that are missing.

For instance, the Goggle 3 have Dual Micro OLED screens whilst the N3 has one 1080p 60hz Ultra-Wide LCD screen, but the field of view on the N3 is larger, so whilst you’re absolutely losing some clarity and vividness, I’d argue that most people won’t care too much about the fidelity within the goggles. One feature that I did miss was the pass through footage which isn’t here, but again, at a third of the price, I can accept it.

The N3 is a much, much bigger headset, but still super comfortable and for glasses wearers (like myself) it’s an improvement. Unlike the Goggles 3 which come with adjustable diopters, with the N3, they’re roomy enough that you can leave your glasses on and it’s a super comfortable experience. You also get a one button de-fogger which is a huge deal for those that have ever worn a VR headset and noticed themself fogging up, particularly because you’ll be using this outside in the elements.

As far as video transmission goes, it’s the same experience on the Goggles 3 with a 60MBPS live transmission which provides a really clear view even when flying at the maximum speed. If there’s one thing that DJI Fly app does really well, it’s connecting and then staying connected, and that experience is replicated here.

There’s a few cool features including the ability to connect the DJI Goggles N3 to your smart phone using a wire to give someone else the opportunity to watch what you are, whether it be just to watch what you’re doing, or just to give you some tips whilst flying your drone, and you can also put a MicroSD card directly into the Goggles N3 to watch panoramic videos within the headset.

At $359 these are a no-brainer if you’ve got the DJI Neo and are actively using it as you can’t beat flying with a FPV. The only thing to be weary of and really the only thing that threw me whilst looking into the device was compatibility. It’s only compatible with the Neo and Avata 2 which is fine given the price point and intended audience, but you also can’t use the Goggles N3 with the RC-N3 controller which is the one that comes with the DJI Fly More combo, meaning you’ll need to shell out for the $139 RC Motion 3 controller or $229 FPV Remote Controller 3.

This isn’t an issue if you’re buying the fantastically valued Motion Fly More Combo, or you’re mix and matching, but it is worth mentioning as I have zero doubts that people will be buying this after purchasing the equally fantastic valued Fly More combo, and given these devices are for the novice users, it does feel like something that should be rectified.

All-in-all, I absolutely love how DJI is releasing products that cater to all creatives at the moment, without feeling like it compromises too much on features, really fantastically picking the high-end features to cut and those to leave in based on what’s essential.
