Hello Drone Friends!
I've been away from the forums for a while, I searched for this topic and didn't see anything new but please excuse the duplicate if there is one already!
I posted a couple of years ago a bunch of stuff about the different Epson Glasses/Goggles. Hope that was helpful to someone!
This weekend I discovered something new -
I have the Phantom 4 Pro V2 (with the built in screen)
I have the Epson BT35E glasses
I have discovered you can power the Epson BT35E unit directly from the USB port on the Phantom controller. I used to carry a small cell phone batter extender and use that, but just tried plugging the Epson model directly to the USB port on the controller and it worked great. It did not seem to take much power, I've never gone thru a full charge on the controller with just 3 batteries and I used 2 batteries on my flight this weekend and the controller still reads over 50% charge.
What this means is I have lots less cables and junk to deal with.
The Epson glasses plug into a small module about the size of an old flip-phone. This module has a belt clip so that works great! Now I plug in a standard HDMI cable from the module to the DJI controller. Finally, a standard USB cable from the controller (USB-A) to the module (USB-mini).
I can send pictures if anyone is interested.
Have fun and fly safe!
(PS - I don't work for Epson or DJI and get no compensation from either of them)
