Hello!
(**NOTE** I do not work for DJI or EPSON or receive any type of compensation from them)
I've been using the Epson BT-200 Glasses with my DJI Phantom 2 Vision for a couple of years. If you want a great FPV experience (and still be able to actually see your drone) these are really great. However, the controller unit for those glasses is stuck at an older version of Android and will not work with my Phantom 3 Pro (and it won't work with the Phantom 4 either). Epson stopped upgrading and has announced they have no intention of upgrading the op system.
Well, today Prelaunch.Com announced an accessory that will connect those glasses to a mini-HDMI interface (meaning they will now work with the P3 and P4. That accessory is about the size of a smartphone, requires 3 cables and an additional mini-usb power supply. It costs $500. The website doesn't say exactly when it will ship but I think it will ship this month (April). Don't know if I can put links in a post but try this:
HDMI Input Accessory
A few weeks ago Epson announced the BT-300 glasses, which will definitely work with the P3 and P4 and (as you might expect) have a better viewing screen and other upgraded features. The Prelaunch.com cost for those is $799, but the worst part is the intended ship date is "Fall 2016"
here's another attempt at a link: Ready to Pre-Order
So, do I spend $500 and use the old glasses this summer (prime drone season) or do I gut it out and wait for the newer version in the fall (and hope that date doesn't slide into winter!)
I know it's really just a personal choice but wanted to let you guys know these products exist now and that you also have options to consider.
