OMG!! I had so much trouble trying to get my Drone connected (I'm a newbie) but after watching your video I found that I was trying to use the wrong DJI Assistant.. I didn't know there was a FPV version .. Life saver .. THANK YOU
Thanks Kelly, this was one of the videos I referred to to make sure I was doing it right. There is just one step for those of us using the goggle from our DJI FPV quads that will stump people. Need to go into the settings menu of the goggles, click about and then change to digital to work with this setup. Then go back and reverse that when going back to DJI FPV quads. Always reboot the goggle after these changes are made. Thanks again!
I have a question I’m hoping someone can answer. When I got my explorer lr v2 BNF out of the box last year I had no problem binding it with my DJI remote and Google’s. Both shown in this video. Once I saw this video and decided to do the updates as suggested through DJI. Now I can’t see anything out of my Google’s and my radio isn’t connected. I tried binding them again and nothing. I noticed that all of the current versions are different when plugged into the usb for the drone, controller, Googles. I also noticed the Verison for the Google’s is now V01.00.0607, my controller and drone don’t have this Verison and I’m not sure what to do. Any and all help/suggestions is greatly appreciated.
I binded both controller and goggles to my drone and also update all firmwares to be the same with dji assistant 2 FPV series. But now my biggest issues is that I can’t get to send any signal from my controller to my drone and flight controller. My goggles reads that both goggle and controller have full bars and are both connected to the FPV drone. I have the GEPRC smart 35. I tired to fix it in beta flight but still no Luck. My throttle is stuck at 885 and the rest are just 1500 and stable and do not move. I went into motors and check if my motors are working and indeed they do work. So it’s not motor issue. The main page tells me that it’s not receiving any signals from my CONTROLLER. Please help me with this.I’m new to FPV and can’t find anything to fix this. I don’t what the exact issue is here, thank you
Did you bind the goggles first? If not, you might have to bind the drone again with your controller. Llook at Betaflight's Ports tab with the quad plugged into your computer, and with a battery connected. Enable "Serial RX" for the UART which the SBUS wire is connected to on your flight controller.
The problem is I think is that when I purchased the Gep RC smart 35 (prebuilt version) they did not connect the sbus to the FC, could that be the issue? I have vista kit nebula nano cam.
Thank you for the step by step!!! Im new to the hobby and viewing this made it very easy for me. Thank you again and I'm gonna check out your other vids!!
THANKS SO MUCH!! You're videos are GREAT. I followed along with this one today to set up all my stuff. You explained everything perfectly. Can't wait for my first flight....hopefully today if the wind calms down...ha!!! I've been practicing on my sims for about two months now and I'm finally getting better at it. Still can't race super fast and hit those gates...lmao!! Thats hard man. Anyway, have a great time with your loved ones over these upcoming holidays and BE SAFE.
Wow. I ordered the remote (transmitter) earlier this afternoon for this exact quad. I was going to solder in a TBS Tracer receiver until I saw the remote. I have the DJI FPV quad so I already have the goggles. The remote just makes sense. Thank you for this video.
Just had a phtntomHD and set of dji goggles arrive yesterday, couldn’t believe someone had a video setting up the system with the same quad (minus a crossfire rx). Thanks a bunch! Now once my batteries arrive today I can get on with the maiden ASAP!
Thanks, Kelly. By the way. I loved it when you were on TNL. You, Ken, and Chris had special chemistry together back then. (I've been watching old shows.) I have Walkera F210's and love them but now I want to add a top-flight long flight time drone with dji goggles and the controller. Too bad they don't make it easy like my Geprc little guys. They were ready to fly out of the box and come with goggles. They're great. The little red one flew for 10 seconds when it crashed into a bucket of water. I thought that was the most expensive flight I ever did. $250.00 for 10 seconds. I dried it out and it still flies like a charm. Thanks for everything you do, Kelly.
FOOTNOTE: The Tinygo did fly for a while then fried. I respect GEPRC though. That little drone sat in five gallons of water for 20 mins. before I found it. Still all lit up. LEDS and everything. It flew quite a few times before it quit. At least I still have the motors for replacements. The black one I bought at the same time as the red one still flies like a champ.
I haven't made any videos about it, but assuming you don't have a backup set up, the next best thing is to download the CLI dump for whichever your specific quad is from the manufacturer's website and paste it into the CLI tab in betaflight. I'm sure Joshua Bardwell's channel will have several videos that will help you further, as I'm not great at the super technical details.

Thank you so much, I was just researching what all this meant. Linking or as its called "Binding" together the DJI Goggles and controller. I didn't know how people where using other drones with the DJI products. Awesome video!
Thanks for the video sr, I have a question. I have the dji fpv drone. I just bought the geprc mark 5 with the dji air unit. Can I bind my dji goggles that came with my dji fpv drone with the mark5 air unit? And will they then work with both drones with out an issue? Thanks
Yes, you can use your V2 goggles with both the DJI FPV drone as well as your Mark 5, however, each time you switch, you'll have to put your goggles into the correct mode (air unit mode or DJI FPV mode). I believe this also means you'll have to re-bind every time you switch. Not the end of the world, but still a small hassle.
This video is great! I just have one problem, I bound the controller to beta flight and everything, but when I tried to fly it didn’t work. I then went to beta flight and now my DJI controller won’t connect to beta flight. Does anybody know how to fix this?
when i connect to goggles, the connection with tx is broken and vice versa after i connect with tx and connect with goggles, the link with tx is lost, the firmware is synced. Do you know how to fix it? Thanks!
Please can you do an updated guide for the 4.4 betaflight and O3 setup? I literally use this guide every time I set up a new fpv but can't find any out there for O3!
Thanks so much super helpfull. No one else explained this to me and I couldn't get the drone to arm. Dji has no setup instructions that include going to beta flight.
This is awesome! You are answering questions I have yet to think of and ask in setting up the FPV combo I have recently acquired. I have a Beetle on the way. And if I haven't said it enough, Thanks So Much! ~Bill from Indy.
So much easier watching you do the set up .. Joshua makes it so stressful just going back and forth I just can’t follow his set ups and going back and forth to watch video after video .. my fly woo explore la had dose not even work now I just took it out the box 4 days ago and thought I had to do what he was doing .. no my new quad is dead out the box wow ..
Do you need the controller? I'm wanting to put the camera in a rc plane to use with goggles. No recording or anything just plug it in and see where it flying
@@readysetdrone so just need the camera and the square part that comes with it. Give it the right voltage and pair it to the goggles and I'm good to go?
I’m so frustrated with DJI assistant. My Mac OS is too old to work with it but it also doesn’t work with the newest OS! So I had to search far and wide to find the right OS. I may have finally got it right. They also make it so complicated to install. Why can’t they have a simpler registration process? Like putting a serial number into a website or something?
I'm with you! It's not too easy. I believe it's Mac OS 10.15 which is the only compatible version right now? Sometimes a Windows PC is needed to save the day. Lol
The answer might change in the future, but currently, here's the situation: If you update the original Air Units / Vista Units, they can be used with the grey FPV controller 2; however, they will no longer work with the V1 or V2 goggles -- only the Goggles 2 are compatible. So, if you own the DJI FPV drone and want to use the V2 goggles and the grey controller 2, you're out of luck... Unless DJI changes something in the future. I hope that all makes sense.
Wow Brother, that was the first time that I have ever seen that done, Thank you Kelly, I had know idea it took that many steps, very cool, I was hoping that, we all might get that second Stimulus check, but it's not sounding to good, So I'm going to pray maybe my one Ticket I purchased, for Spin up, what a dream to own a DJI product, I'm sure I won't win, that will be okay ,I just want to learn all I can learn from all the great pilot's and developer's, and just do my small part ,to h see help the great drone community, and Ready Set Drone, Thank you Kelly, your awesome 👌. Sincerely your freind from Mo Rick and God bless you and your family
Great video, I noticed that you mentioned you purchased a second set of goggles to use for "ride alongs." I did the same thing but can not get the second set to go in to audience mode. Any advice? Thank you1
Is your second set of goggles in 25 Mbps mode? If not, you need to connect them to a drone and change that setting. Also, make sure you're not in DJI FPV mode (assuming you fly quads with air/Vista units. Audience mode unfortunately isn't as good as experienced as we hoped for.
@@readysetdrone Thank you for your response!! I am going to try this morning again. If its not what I expected I will be dumping the extra set for another drone lol
Great video! I can not get the Geprc thinking P16 HD pnp to bind to my DJI remote (the grey one that comes with the DJI FPV) - has anyone gotten that to work ?
Hi, I got my DJI FPV goggles and controller a week ago and I was ready today to set all parts with a Flywoo vampire2 hd 210mm f7 bluetooth 6s 5 inch fpv equipped with the DJI Air unit. I linked all them and controller arm switch SA did not work as expected. I was really upset and confused about the results. No way to get the motors working and I went to Betaflight to check more and deep and I discover that NONE of the switches were assigned to any command. Is that right? or I am wrong on my findings? Goggles was good, Air unit was good but controller was empty of working switches. What do you think?, Thanks
I'm soooooo frustrated!!!! I've been trying to get my cinelog 30 up and running. It came assembled so I had to unasssemble one of the prop guards. I did bind the goggles to the drone and I could see the camera view in the goggles. But I can't seem to bind the remote to the drone. I've also downloaded Betaflight Configurator but it doesn't recognize the drone when I plug it in. I've spent hours searching for the information but I can't find someone who can help me set this up.
@@readysetdrone it's the large black one. I'm very new to this whole thing. I've been flying regular drones for years. I may have finally gotten it to bind. But now my problem seems to be connecting the drone to the beta flight program. It never seems to recognize that it's plugged in. I do see lights so I know it's plugged in. But the software just says failed to connect. I downloaded the driver and installed it but I'm still obviously doing something wrong
hello RSD, big question I hope you can answer it. will the DJI Goggles and a Jumper T-lite radio, work with (ANY) HD drone , or do I have to make sure HD drones have Caddx Vista to work with Goggles, will the radio work regardless ?? I'm new to FPV so any help would be greatly appreciated. my plan is I want to use the goggles as duel purpose for HD drones and Analog drones, thank you for your time...
DJI goggles only work with Caddx Vista or Air Unit, which was made by DJI but is now being made by Caddx. You can’t use the DJI goggles with analog - they don’t mix. For your radio TX, it will work with any quad as long as the quad has the same receiver protocol. I don’t have a Jumper T-lite, but I believe that it is multi-protocol, meaning that it works with several different receivers, so you should be able to use the Jumper with multiple quads both digital and analog. But the DJI goggles are digital only.
Hello! I just purchased the Johnny FPV Lumineer dji rtf kit. If it is a ready to fly, then all the binding between goggles, drone, and radio should already be done, right? Or will I still need to go through the entire setup? Thanks for all your knowledge:)
That's a great question. I can't say for sure, but I believe you would still need to go through some sort of set-up. Let me know what your experience was.
I'm wondering the same thing as well, did you end up having to update that drone as well because I updated both the goggles and controller but not the drone and for some reason my controller doesn't wanna turn on the quad to start flying using the switch on the controller
Possibly. The firmware in the goggles or receiver may be mismatched... I don't think I've had experience with that, but you could try not updating and see if you have any issues binding everything.
Hi mate, I just bought ( iFlight Nazgul5 HD 6S PNP/BNF Caddx Vista DJI Cam BNF-DJI ) Do I have to buy a new receiver to match it to my Dji transmitter? or I am good to go? many thanks
so i did all this and my input are not detected on betaflight, turn on sbus on receiver option , got the set sbus_band_fast = on and still nothing... geprc mark5 vista and dji remote controller and goggles v1
What version is the firmware on your Vista? I believe that if it's 01.01 and later, it will not work with the V1 black controller. If you're on an earlier version, there could be a chance that the wiring is not correct or not connected properly to the flight controller. That's a more difficult thing to troubleshoot. 😕 I hope you get it working or figure out the problem!
@@readysetdrone i already downgrade from 1.01 to 1.00.608 . It solved the vtx problem, but not the input one... Got my uart ports setup as geprc advertize but still nothing... Not the best way to get into the hobby 😅
What i really not understand is , when i m in the google menu - remote controller - in the calibration tab stick are reconized, but nothing appears on the function tab. And the mapping that i making Nevers changes..
@@readysetdrone yes everything is bound and the green light is there. I have this exact setup. Maybe its the firmware ? I noticed you're installing 0600 at the time this video was released. I did 0606 on everything. Or maybe cause I'm on BF 4.3 ?
Hey y’all Can I set up my Spektrum Dx 6e Transmitter with the nazgul5 ? And will my DX-6e program with the DJI fpv program as you are demonstrating here?
I'm about to give up completely. I was able to register the goggles, controller and drone with dji asssistant. I can bind the goggles to the drone, but I can't bind the controller to the drone.
You're using the V1 (black) controller, right? Has that controller worked with other drones? How can you tell that it's not bound? Maybe you did bind it, but in betaflight, a uart isn't set up for the DJI controller.
@@readysetdrone Somehow everything is working. I plugged it into betaflight and the drone was found....No idea what I did differently. But at this point I don't care. lol Thanks for your help!
HUGE point here, if you are binding to caddx vista and you got your goggles with the DJI FPV package, drone goggles etc, you need to go into your goggles menu under about and switch to the DJI digital option then cut the goggles off and on again, then bind. hope this helps someone!
This is the step they are all forgetting in their videos. Just4fun rc did a real quick simple to the point video on this that will save the lucky ones that stumble onto it.
Great video, it's neat to see the other side of drone operation. I'm not, remotely, interested in this type of flight, but it's neat to know how to get into it if I change my mind down the road.
HI! Kelly! Since you're pretty knowledgeable, I'll ask you (if you have the time). I can't get a straight answer from DJI or iFlight. I just bought The DJI FPV remote along with an iFlight Protek 35. From all the videos I've watched on binding them and things I've heard. If you bind the remote first. You may not be able to bind the goggles later. To avoid this "fear" I'm sticking with my plan of LOS flying this year then, adding the goggles next year. I just won't activate them. I did the same with my Walkera F210 a couple of years ago. I wasn't good enough to fly it so, I waited a year. I own a number of DJI items and love them. But, I think they "Suck" in some ways such as being too "Corporate" minded. Everything is about making the money and "Fair Play" is avoided. Such as not being able to add the DJI googles at a later date. And!< get this! 5 months ago I bought a Chromebook computer. I'm unable to download The "DJI Assistant 2 FPV" app. on it so, I'll be spending another $500. on a new computer soon.! Lol. I know you're busy but if you could give me the green light on it being ok to bind my new iFlight drone with the DJI goggles I'd be forever grateful. You might remember me from a few months back. I'm the one who partially cleared out the trees and delimbed the others in the lot next door. I have made a really "Cool" place to fly and that's all I do day and night is "~Fly~" -Bill Howes.
Hey Bill - On the Chromebook thing, I know that DJI Assistant is kind of picky about what platforms it will run on. For example, it won't run on the latest Mac OS, which has kept me from updating my computer for the time being. In terms of your question, I'm confused by this sentence: "I know you're busy but if you could give me the green light on it being ok to bind my new iFlight drone with the DJI goggles I'd be forever grateful." I thought you didn't have the DJI goggles yet? Do you mean bind it with the controller and then the goggles later? I have heard that you are supposed to bind the goggles first, but I don't think the part about binding the remote first messing up the ability to bind the goggles later is correct. I think what would happen is that you might have to bind the remote again after you bind the goggles. I know that in at least one case, I bound the remote first and didn't have any trouble binding the goggles - but then had to bind the remote again. Hopefully that is useful information and good luck!
@@readysetdrone What a pleasant surprise. I didn't think a "Big Shot" like you would respond! :) Yeah, unfortunately, I sometimes don't structure my sentences appropriately leaving the listener confused. Plus, I think I'm starting to get senile. You guessed correctly. I do not have my DJI goggles yet. I wanted to do LOS flying this year and get the goggles next year. Then, when I looked into it. I'm hearing that if the DJI goggles are activated AFTER the DJI remote that there can be issues. I just spent $400. on this cute little iFlight Protek 35 that came with the DJI FPV remote. (The remote was $300. more don't let me confuse you again.) I have 3 Walkera F210s that I currently use for LOS flying. Please tell me this isn't so. If you were in my shoes. What would you do? Once again, thank you for responding. NOTE: I wrote the above before finishing your letter. You have supplied the answer. Thank you! I'll go ahead and "Bind" this new drone with the new remote. May "Happiness" follow you, Kelly.
@@readysetdrone I really appreciate your help. It's great having someone like you around when I didn't know where to turn. There are too many people out there giving bad advice. I can't thank you enough. Now, let me ask. After activating my new DJI remote and new iFlight Protek 35. 3:17 into the flight both the remote and drone burst into flames. Is this a concern?
If you check betaflight, do you have stick input? If you are able to connect to your Air /Vista unit, I'm thinking the wiring to the FC is wrong... Or look at Betaflight’s Ports tab with the quad connected, and enable “Serial RX” for the UART which you’ve connected the SBUS wire to on your FC.
@@readysetdrone I bought nazgul Evoque Dji system. Ready to fly seems is not ready 😒 goggles controller and drone are binded only cannot see any changes on throttle yaw roll etc cannot set modes as well
@@readysetdrone don't know what to do I downgrade betaflight I thought that gonna be issue but not really... Ports reciver mode and reciver provider looks ok
Oh, darn! I wish I could help you. Maybe the flight controller is a bad one. Are you able to exchange it from the retailer you purchased from? Seems like you got a bad one. 🤕
As of 2023, do not update to the most recent firmware as it does not support DJI goggles V2. Also, if you have the goggles from a DJI combo kit, the goggles need to be set to digital FPV system mode internally to bind with a third party drone. To bind the air unit, wait for six slow flashes on startup, then go into rapid flashing to go into bind mode, then press button.
I mentioned that in the video. Not needed for set up. You should never turn on a transmitter without antennas, but a receiver is OK. And it was fine for the set up.
William may be right. Two top antennas in dji goggles transmit as well as recieve, so I would at least put them two on. Also as far as I know this is not caddx vista setup but nebula vista.
It saddens me to see your content going FPV. The reason I joined your channel was the content of GPS camera drone videos. Looks like you are following suit with Ken, Original Dobo and a few others. Thank goodness 51 Drones isn't interested in FPV.
Sorry to hear that Steve. I definitely intend to keep doing GPS camera drone content. That content actually gets more views for me than FPV does. I just really enjoy flying FPV and I've actually been doing FPV content on the channel since 2017, so it's just part of the overall package. Hope you'll stick around!
Steve Nasello I have not jumped into the FPV world, but I like that Kelly is offering both worlds in one place. I like to see all the different options with FPV.
OMG!! I had so much trouble trying to get my Drone connected (I'm a newbie) but after watching your video I found that I was trying to use the wrong DJI Assistant.. I didn't know there was a FPV version .. Life saver .. THANK YOU

is it possible to control a tiny whoop lets say with a crossfire receiver with a dji controller?
I don’t think so
great tutorial kelly great information...
Glad it was helpful!
So much easier watching you do the set up .. Joshua makes it so stressful just going back and forth I just can’t follow his set ups and going back and forth to watch video after video .. my fly woo explore la had dose not even work now I just took it out the box 4 days ago and thought I had to do what he was doing .. no my new quad is dead out the box wow ..
I'm glad it was helpful!
every details, thanks alot, the best one of this info.
Thanks very much!
Hi, I have cinelog 35 HD! Drone won't arm. Can you please advise how to set up throttle minimum to 1000 in DJI FPV Controller?
This video should help you
th-cam.com/video/YjZX89ujgak/w-d-xo.html
@@readysetdrone yes, that helped thx bro. Betaflight said throttle is to high. I need to switch to MODE1 with proper minimum throttle value.
Do you need the controller? I'm wanting to put the camera in a rc plane to use with goggles. No recording or anything just plug it in and see where it flying
No, you don't need the DJI controller if you have another RC.
@@readysetdrone so just need the camera and the square part that comes with it. Give it the right voltage and pair it to the goggles and I'm good to go?
Correct
I’m so frustrated with DJI assistant. My Mac OS is too old to work with it but it also doesn’t work with the newest OS! So I had to search far and wide to find the right OS. I may have finally got it right. They also make it so complicated to install. Why can’t they have a simpler registration process? Like putting a serial number into a website or something?
I'm with you! It's not too easy. I believe it's Mac OS 10.15 which is the only compatible version right now? Sometimes a Windows PC is needed to save the day. Lol
Ca you use the DJI FPV controller the smaller gray one from the DJI FPV drone?
The answer might change in the future, but currently, here's the situation:
If you update the original Air Units / Vista Units, they can be used with the grey FPV controller 2; however, they will no longer work with the V1 or V2 goggles -- only the Goggles 2 are compatible. So, if you own the DJI FPV drone and want to use the V2 goggles and the grey controller 2, you're out of luck... Unless DJI changes something in the future.
I hope that all makes sense.
I HAVE GOGGLE AND RC WHICH VERSION SHOULD I BUY? PNP
If you have DJI goggles and the DJI radio controller, then yes, the PNP version will work.
Wow Brother, that was the first time that I have ever seen that done, Thank you Kelly, I had know idea it took that many steps, very cool, I was hoping that, we all might get that second Stimulus check, but it's not sounding to good, So I'm going to pray maybe my one Ticket I purchased, for Spin up, what a dream to own a DJI product, I'm sure I won't win, that will be okay ,I just want to learn all I can learn from all the great pilot's and developer's, and just do my small part ,to h see help the great drone community, and Ready Set Drone, Thank you Kelly, your awesome 👌. Sincerely your freind from Mo Rick and God bless you and your family
Great video, I noticed that you mentioned you purchased a second set of goggles to use for "ride alongs." I did the same thing but can not get the second set to go in to audience mode. Any advice? Thank you1
Is your second set of goggles in 25 Mbps mode? If not, you need to connect them to a drone and change that setting. Also, make sure you're not in DJI FPV mode (assuming you fly quads with air/Vista units.
Audience mode unfortunately isn't as good as experienced as we hoped for.
@@readysetdrone Thank you for your response!! I am going to try this morning again. If its not what I expected I will be dumping the extra set for another drone lol
on which uart did you pick for the dji receiver?
Good afternoon. Please tell me is it possible to link caddxvista with a remote control from DJI inspire 1?
No, unfortunately, as far as I know, that's not possible.
understood, thank you very much for the information.
Great review Kelly, not sure I would put a 4s battery in my pocket though. I respect batteries after seeing one go off like a Roman candle 🧨
That's a good point Joe!
Great video! I can not get the Geprc thinking P16 HD pnp to bind to my DJI remote (the grey one that comes with the DJI FPV) - has anyone gotten that to work ?
The grey DJI FPV remote is not compatible. You'll need the black one (v1).
@@readysetdrone Thanks for clarifying, even DJI support wasnt aware lol. You saved me a lot of trial and error mate
Hey, I have done everything correctly and my goggles and caddx just won''t bind. Any suggestions?
Which goggles do you have? V2? If so, you'll need to make sure they are in the correct mode. They may be in the DJI FPV mode.
@@readysetdrone I figured it out, I had to downgrade my V2 goggles because of the newest update. Thanks for helping!
Hi, I got my DJI FPV goggles and controller a week ago and I was ready today to set all parts with a Flywoo vampire2 hd 210mm f7 bluetooth 6s 5 inch fpv equipped with the DJI Air unit. I linked all them and controller arm switch SA did not work as expected. I was really upset and confused about the results. No way to get the motors working and I went to Betaflight to check more and deep and I discover that NONE of the switches were assigned to any command. Is that right? or I am wrong on my findings? Goggles was good, Air unit was good but controller was empty of working switches. What do you think?, Thanks
same issue here, any fix?
Can the DJI remote controller 2 be used as well?
No. Currently the DJI controller 2 only works with the DJI FPV drone and the Avata.
I'm soooooo frustrated!!!! I've been trying to get my cinelog 30 up and running. It came assembled so I had to unasssemble one of the prop guards. I did bind the goggles to the drone and I could see the camera view in the goggles. But I can't seem to bind the remote to the drone. I've also downloaded Betaflight Configurator but it doesn't recognize the drone when I plug it in. I've spent hours searching for the information but I can't find someone who can help me set this up.
That is frustrating! Are you trying to bind it the the DJI V1 controller?
@@readysetdrone it's the large black one. I'm very new to this whole thing. I've been flying regular drones for years. I may have finally gotten it to bind. But now my problem seems to be connecting the drone to the beta flight program. It never seems to recognize that it's plugged in. I do see lights so I know it's plugged in. But the software just says failed to connect. I downloaded the driver and installed it but I'm still obviously doing something wrong
Usually, it's a bad cable or a non-data cable. If you have a few USB cables to try, you might find one that works for beta flight.
@@readysetdrone I've tried 2 or 3, I'll keep trying. Thank you!
Also, try plugging in a battery (if you're not already) while connecting to betaflight.
hello RSD, big question I hope you can answer it. will the DJI Goggles and a Jumper T-lite radio, work with (ANY) HD drone , or do I have to make sure HD drones have Caddx Vista to work with Goggles, will the radio work regardless ?? I'm new to FPV so any help would be greatly appreciated. my plan is I want to use the goggles as duel purpose for HD drones and Analog drones, thank you for your time...
DJI goggles only work with Caddx Vista or Air Unit, which was made by DJI but is now being made by Caddx. You can’t use the DJI goggles with analog - they don’t mix. For your radio TX, it will work with any quad as long as the quad has the same receiver protocol. I don’t have a Jumper T-lite, but I believe that it is multi-protocol, meaning that it works with several different receivers, so you should be able to use the Jumper with multiple quads both digital and analog. But the DJI goggles are digital only.
@@readysetdrone thanks for the explanation, and quick reply. I look forward to all your videos great content. Love it.
Hello! I just purchased the Johnny FPV Lumineer dji rtf kit. If it is a ready to fly, then all the binding between goggles, drone, and radio should already be done, right? Or will I still need to go through the entire setup? Thanks for all your knowledge:)
That's a great question. I can't say for sure, but I believe you would still need to go through some sort of set-up. Let me know what your experience was.
I'm wondering the same thing as well, did you end up having to update that drone as well because I updated both the goggles and controller but not the drone and for some reason my controller doesn't wanna turn on the quad to start flying using the switch on the controller
Ik this post is old but would I have to still update the drone if it's a rtf one?
Possibly. The firmware in the goggles or receiver may be mismatched... I don't think I've had experience with that, but you could try not updating and see if you have any issues binding everything.
Hi mate,
I just bought ( iFlight Nazgul5 HD 6S PNP/BNF Caddx Vista DJI Cam BNF-DJI ) Do I have to buy a new receiver to match it to my Dji transmitter? or I am good to go?
many thanks
Very helpful video! So there’s no internal battery in the goggles to be charged ? Just the external included lipo?
Correct
@@readysetdrone thanks I think this video just got me into fpv👌🏽👏🏼
so i did all this and my input are not detected on betaflight, turn on sbus on receiver option , got the set sbus_band_fast = on and still nothing... geprc mark5 vista and dji remote controller and goggles v1
the controller work great on sims , get detected to calibration setting on the google but nothing is detected in the others menu...
What version is the firmware on your Vista? I believe that if it's 01.01 and later, it will not work with the V1 black controller.
If you're on an earlier version, there could be a chance that the wiring is not correct or not connected properly to the flight controller. That's a more difficult thing to troubleshoot. 😕 I hope you get it working or figure out the problem!
@@readysetdrone i already downgrade from 1.01 to 1.00.608 . It solved the vtx problem, but not the input one... Got my uart ports setup as geprc advertize but still nothing... Not the best way to get into the hobby 😅
What i really not understand is , when i m in the google menu - remote controller - in the calibration tab stick are reconized, but nothing appears on the function tab. And the mapping that i making Nevers changes..
I wish I had answers for you... Perhaps you can ask your question in FPV groups on Facebook or Reddit. FPV can be frustrating sometimes!
I did this but my throttle, yaw etc are not working. What do I do ??
Are you sure it’s bound to the transmitter. The RC should have a green light.
@@readysetdrone yes everything is bound and the green light is there. I have this exact setup. Maybe its the firmware ? I noticed you're installing 0600 at the time this video was released. I did 0606 on everything. Or maybe cause I'm on BF 4.3 ?
In the configuration tab of betaflight, is your receiver set to Serial Based, and also is the Serial Receiver Provider set to SBUS?
I bind googles and control but betaflight won't recognize the control and movement, help please
Which controller are you using? Black DJI RC?
@@readysetdrone i solved the problem. Drone needed to replace transmiter it had FRsky X-SR
I love your content so let's say if I pick the option for a cinewhoop and will be using a dji goggle and radio do I pick the PNP option? thanks!
I have the same question. I wish someone would have answered it for you.
Thanks for the explanation
You're welcome
Thank you! I was so lost.
Glad I could help!
Just got this for my first drone with the dji goggles.. thank you for the vid it's perfect for beginners.
Hey y’all
Can I set up my Spektrum Dx 6e Transmitter with the nazgul5 ? And will my DX-6e program with the DJI fpv program as you are demonstrating here?
Idk u had to register everything.... bummer.. but I'm still excited dji setup should b here tomorrow
So are you 2 months in how did it go getting it all registered and binding did it go well is it easy?
@@mbg1899 super easy and works great!! Took a few packs to get use to a new radio...very impressed
I'm about to give up completely. I was able to register the goggles, controller and drone with dji asssistant. I can bind the goggles to the drone, but I can't bind the controller to the drone.
You're using the V1 (black) controller, right? Has that controller worked with other drones?
How can you tell that it's not bound? Maybe you did bind it, but in betaflight, a uart isn't set up for the DJI controller.
@@readysetdrone Somehow everything is working. I plugged it into betaflight and the drone was found....No idea what I did differently. But at this point I don't care. lol
Thanks for your help!
@@ospreycove Glad to hear that! Now DON'T change anything! Hope you get up in the air soon.
@@kellyshores6514 unfortunately now the simulator won't work. But I'd rather fly it for real. Trying to hover yesterday.
HUGE point here, if you are binding to caddx vista and you got your goggles with the DJI FPV package, drone goggles etc, you need to go into your goggles menu under about and switch to the DJI digital option then cut the goggles off and on again, then bind. hope this helps someone!
This is the step they are all forgetting in their videos. Just4fun rc did a real quick simple to the point video on this that will save the lucky ones that stumble onto it.
Great video, it's neat to see the other side of drone operation. I'm not, remotely, interested in this type of flight, but it's neat to know how to get into it if I change my mind down the road.
Thanks for the comment. I'm definitely going to do more GPS drone content, but it's fun to mix it up!
Something to note, if it doesn’t bind. Go to goggle settings about and set to fpv mode. It will then bind.
Definitely an important tip for anyone using V2 goggles.
Can you provide a link on where to purchase the quad? - and what is the price of the quad with the DJI receiver built into the quad?
HI! Kelly! Since you're pretty knowledgeable, I'll ask you (if you have the time). I can't get a straight answer from DJI or iFlight. I just bought The DJI FPV remote along with an iFlight Protek 35. From all the videos I've watched on binding them and things I've heard. If you bind the remote first. You may not be able to bind the goggles later. To avoid this "fear" I'm sticking with my plan of LOS flying this year then, adding the goggles next year. I just won't activate them. I did the same with my Walkera F210 a couple of years ago. I wasn't good enough to fly it so, I waited a year. I own a number of DJI items and love them. But, I think they "Suck" in some ways such as being too "Corporate" minded. Everything is about making the money and "Fair Play" is avoided. Such as not being able to add the DJI googles at a later date. And!< get this! 5 months ago I bought a Chromebook computer. I'm unable to download The "DJI Assistant 2 FPV" app. on it so, I'll be spending another $500. on a new computer soon.! Lol. I know you're busy but if you could give me the green light on it being ok to bind my new iFlight drone with the DJI goggles I'd be forever grateful. You might remember me from a few months back. I'm the one who partially cleared out the trees and delimbed the others in the lot next door. I have made a really "Cool" place to fly and that's all I do day and night is "~Fly~" -Bill Howes.
Hey Bill - On the Chromebook thing, I know that DJI Assistant is kind of picky about what platforms it will run on. For example, it won't run on the latest Mac OS, which has kept me from updating my computer for the time being.
In terms of your question, I'm confused by this sentence: "I know you're busy but if you could give me the green light on it being ok to bind my new iFlight drone with the DJI goggles I'd be forever grateful."
I thought you didn't have the DJI goggles yet?
Do you mean bind it with the controller and then the goggles later?
I have heard that you are supposed to bind the goggles first, but I don't think the part about binding the remote first messing up the ability to bind the goggles later is correct. I think what would happen is that you might have to bind the remote again after you bind the goggles. I know that in at least one case, I bound the remote first and didn't have any trouble binding the goggles - but then had to bind the remote again.
Hopefully that is useful information and good luck!
@@readysetdrone What a pleasant surprise. I didn't think a "Big Shot" like you would respond! :) Yeah, unfortunately, I sometimes don't structure my sentences appropriately leaving the listener confused. Plus, I think I'm starting to get senile. You guessed correctly. I do not have my DJI goggles yet. I wanted to do LOS flying this year and get the goggles next year. Then, when I looked into it. I'm hearing that if the DJI goggles are activated AFTER the DJI remote that there can be issues. I just spent $400. on this cute little iFlight Protek 35 that came with the DJI FPV remote. (The remote was $300. more don't let me confuse you again.) I have 3 Walkera F210s that I currently use for LOS flying. Please tell me this isn't so. If you were in my shoes. What would you do? Once again, thank you for responding. NOTE: I wrote the above before finishing your letter. You have supplied the answer. Thank you! I'll go ahead and "Bind" this new drone with the new remote. May "Happiness" follow you, Kelly.
@@billhowes5871 I think you'll be fine and can bind everything again when you get the goggles. Good luck and let me know how it goes!
@@readysetdrone I really appreciate your help. It's great having someone like you around when I didn't know where to turn. There are too many people out there giving bad advice. I can't thank you enough. Now, let me ask. After activating my new DJI remote and new iFlight Protek 35. 3:17 into the flight both the remote and drone burst into flames. Is this a concern?
@@billhowes5871 Nope - that's supposed to happen. Keeps the flights more interesting...
What if you don’t have a computer
I got mine 2 days ago and still can't link it. So mad I bought this
Which goggles and controller do you have?
@@readysetdrone controller2 with v2 gogs
I thought powering without antennas was not good.
Hey great video Kelly Where can I send my video for the Contest ?👍🏼 thanks
Do you mean the Ready Set Drone Song Remix? Send it to contest@readysetdrone.com - I can take a WAV, MP3, AIFF or video file. Thanks!
So want to get into fpv but not a fan of building. Great video though.
Thanks
Dont have conection with my controller dji fpv nazgul evoque 🤢
If you check betaflight, do you have stick input? If you are able to connect to your Air /Vista unit, I'm thinking the wiring to the FC is wrong... Or look at Betaflight’s Ports tab with the quad connected, and enable “Serial RX” for the UART which you’ve connected the SBUS wire to on your FC.
@@readysetdrone I bought nazgul Evoque Dji system. Ready to fly seems is not ready 😒 goggles controller and drone are binded only cannot see any changes on throttle yaw roll etc cannot set modes as well
Ok, that tells me that it's most likely that betaflight setting I mentioned above.
@@readysetdrone don't know what to do I downgrade betaflight I thought that gonna be issue but not really... Ports reciver mode and reciver provider looks ok
Oh, darn! I wish I could help you. Maybe the flight controller is a bad one. Are you able to exchange it from the retailer you purchased from? Seems like you got a bad one. 🤕
As of 2023, do not update to the most recent firmware as it does not support DJI goggles V2. Also, if you have the goggles from a DJI combo kit, the goggles need to be set to digital FPV system mode internally to bind with a third party drone. To bind the air unit, wait for six slow flashes on startup, then go into rapid flashing to go into bind mode, then press button.
You should NEVEr power on the goggles or a VTX without the antennas installed, if you do you stand a chance of frying them!!!
Very true!
lol u blurred your email but then its on 7:20 totally clear
You forgot to mount the antennas of the goggles!
I mentioned that in the video. Not needed for set up. You should never turn on a transmitter without antennas, but a receiver is OK. And it was fine for the set up.
William may be right. Two top antennas in dji goggles transmit as well as recieve, so I would at least put them two on.
Also as far as I know this is not caddx vista setup but nebula vista.
It saddens me to see your content going FPV. The reason I joined your channel was the content of GPS camera drone videos.
Looks like you are following suit with Ken, Original Dobo and a few others. Thank goodness 51 Drones isn't interested in FPV.
Sorry to hear that Steve. I definitely intend to keep doing GPS camera drone content. That content actually gets more views for me than FPV does. I just really enjoy flying FPV and I've actually been doing FPV content on the channel since 2017, so it's just part of the overall package. Hope you'll stick around!
Steve Nasello I have not jumped into the FPV world, but I like that Kelly is offering both worlds in one place. I like to see all the different options with FPV.
Hi,so the DJI receiver is actually built into the hd system module and not separate like frsky etc ? Thanks
That is correct. Thanks for watching.
