I appreciate the help but what do the codes do? Right now it seems to be working fine and I have done nothing with codes,just plug and play,can anyone else chime in?

Well if thats all you need then why spend the money on the hdmi output module and the big bucks on fatshark goggles?
The vr goggles are 20-30 bucks,is the display that much better in fat shark to spend 4-500 more?

So, I bought a regular pair of VR goggles at a Ross store for $15. Is it that others are telling you its OK to use basic VR goggles as long as you use the Litchi app? Just trying to clear this up from all the information in the threads.

The Litch app supports VR Box-type goggles. It has a VR mode.

Thank you. I just watched the video posted earlier. I'm also preparing to download Litchi ($25 for P4 version. Wow!)

Well worth it. I've got the VR. Box v3 and it's all I use now.

I dont understand your question,my post you quoted has nothing to do with what you asked.I was asking why spend 400 bucks when you can spend 40,was the quality that much better.
As far as the VR goggles go,the only was they work is with the Litchi app,they will not work with DJI go.Hope that answers your question

FlyingLion · Sep 29, 2016

I'm with you. Rather spend my $15 on basic VR goggles than the $300+ on the fancy stuff.

SUPER DUPER THANK YOU...... I didn't even know about the qr code. That helped the vision out x100.

Great info, exactly what I was looking for. Ordered a phantom 4 kit that is coming with the VR box and was not sure how to use it. Have a samsung galaxy 5 so it sounds like I'm going to need to download this app....litchi? 25 bucks seems like a lot for an app but if it allows me to fly fpv and not have to spent 250-300 for fat sharps I guess this is a good way to go.

Latency and screen seems to be the factors. Direct hdmi goggles are supposively less laggy compared to a phone connected via usb. I don't think that's much of a problem though for a phantom since fpv goggles have been used in the past for those mini quads that basically go double the speed of a phantom 4.

I have not used a code,just exactly how do you use it? What is the process? thanks

I see that DJI is showing some DJI-branded goggles of some kind on the various Mavic clips. Anybody know and details on that system?

I have no experience or first hand knowledge of actually using VR goggles. I am thinking of going this same route using Litchi app & BlitzWolf VR goggles.

My only thoughts about going this route without using the hdmi module along with my tablet is if you put your phone in the VR goggles, then need to access the app for any reason you have to remove it from the VR Goggles and toggle from VR mode to normal view to do anything. Hopefully no situation would arise that would need that immediate reaction in the app.

if you had the hdmi module with a second device, the pilot could watch the tablet, have access to all controls in the app while a friend/spouse/customer could wear the HeadPlay or Fat Shark goggles and enjoy the experience. Then again spending $30 for VR goggles(already own Litchi) vs $90 Hdmi Module and $249 Headplay is hard to swallow. I think I am going to have to try the $30 way first.

Ok thanks
I went and did it and scanned the VR code into the carboard app,now what? Is that it? The headset was working fine before{or so I thought it was} Is this supposed to improve picture quality?
thanks

Just did my first experimental run with $15 vr goggles (from Ross store) and $25 Litchi app. This will suit me fine for a long time. Actually had decent clarity. As it tells you on the app though, if using a Samsung S5, can't have both DJI Go and Litchi installed on your phone for Litchi to work.

I have moto x 2nd gen, but had to force stop the go app in order to use litchi. But have both installed and litchi works fine.
