Are there first person viewing options for the P3S?

What are the best options for using FPV goggles with the standard. Everything I see is for advanced and above. I have an iPhone 6 S Plus.

Thanks

hello?

 

[mrcrane2u]

Thats what you need

 

[Morro Man]

Anyone here use goggles with their Standard? Anyone?

From my understanding, you need a adv/pro model. The goggles need an HDMI signal to work and since the P3S does not have a USB port (that's the part that needs upgraded to the HDMI port), end of story. As far as I understand it.

 

[Morro Man]

Thanks. That's how I understand it as well. I was just wondering if there was a way around it.

Maybe you could try getting nvidia shield not sure but it does have a hdmi out put

I'm in the same boat as you, I'd like to try the FPV goggles too. Like they say, "if I knew then what I know now." I'd would have spent the extra cash and bought the P3A. With the lightbridge, RC @ 2.4 GHz, and double the GPS sat. and this. Not to mention NO wifi firmware update, update firmware over the air ??

I ended up just throwing a black shirt over my head and the remote, just so I could see the screen

I managed to get "3D FPV - DJI Phantom + Inspire" on my Blu Android phone and Blitzwolf goggles working. It kept crashing and I had to remove the goggles to restart the app, that was a pain. They have a more reliable version 2 for IOS that supposedly works good. Not much for OSD on the version 1 though, number of GPS satellites and voltage. Link below;

Visual Vertigo's FPV apps (FPV and 3D FPV)

Use Litchi and a pair of cheap goggles you put your phone inside.
Job done

I bought "google cardboard box" on ebay which is actually plastic. I paid about 12-14 euro, really cheap considering it also has adjustable lenses.
Using latest version Litchi 1.9.0 in VR mode. On an Iphone 5S .
Works just great. You see a nice quality in depth FPV image and OSD with basic info, Altitude , speed, distance, battery etc...
(I wish the iphone battery lasted bit longer,)

There is a cardboard version but the plastic ones are nicer. I run a lightning to hdmi cord off my iPhone 5s which allows me to hook up to a separate monitor allowing my client to be fpv while I fly by monitor.

I am using a Samsung S6 Edge with Samsung Gear VR. I used 3 apps so far and they each work OK. I used Drone VR+, Litchi and 3D FPV.

So if I'm getting this now, if your using the Litchi app which uploads the full flight to the drone. You can just sit back and enjoy the show. But if your using the Go app and would be in control yourself, then the HDMI cord has to go the controller, which isn't happening with the standard. Or can you still use the Go app with goggles since the device (smartphone) is connected to the control via wifi on the P3S. This is the only part of the Phantom experience I having an issue with getting my head wrapped around.

P3S connects via WiFi to the phone for any of the apps to work. When you have Litchi going, you click on the VR button and put the phone in the VR case and go.

DJI GO app does not work with VR at all.

So even if you had a P3A with the HDMI port upgrade, the Go app is not going to work with it, correct?
Then if so, the only point to upgrade the controller port on a P3A is so you can have two devices going at the same time?

I am only talking about the P3S, I have no idea about the P3A. This post is about P3S.

Nvidia shield k1 will work has hdmi out plug goggles in to that

I knew we all were talking about the P3S, that's what I own myself and what this thread was about.. Just thought to ask, sometimes knowing all aspects of a technology helps to understand things better.
