Well, I continue posting leaks, as I did with the Neo on the Tello Pilot forum. We heard the rumours already, that dji most likely comes out with a affordable goggles.

Maybe DJI could release some low cost goggles that could use your cell phone as a screen similar to the cheap cell phone ones sold on Amazon and other retailers, but with DJI quality and integration. I imagine the screen is likely the most expensive component in goggles.
I’d love to try FPV but not with the current price of goggles 3.

I hope they do produce some affordable goggles, given they cost more than the neo does. I quite like the idea of an FPV flight, but the prices of goggles are prohibitive. In anycase, I need to get used to flying manually with the control first.
It depends, what we call cheap... I've seen a few days ago goggles 3 in discount for 300€, but there's no FPV radio included. On the other hand my favourite RTF kit, the Aquila16 from BetaFPV costs 230€ and everything included. And some more options too.... I'd begin FPV with one of these sets.
I'll just make the important point that one man's view that they're buying a Faberge Egg it's bargain basement for another.
To illustrate, I wouldn't take a fancy new lighted makeup mirror if you paid me to take it off your hands. My wife, different story.
To me, the Goggles 3 are a bargain. Not so much to some others.

It´s not only the money. I live in west europe, can afford more expensive stuffs. It´s more like the incompatibillity. I´ve been flying drones for approx 4 years and stayed on a casual fan level. I don´t wanna buy any more DJI, rather FPV drones. In this case the goggles are compatible with drones have O3 / O4 air unit. But the controller isn´t ELRS, so very limited compatibility, even within brand. If the new goggles stay under 200€, it´s okay, if more expensive, I turn to FPV kits.

That would be good, I have just bought the goggles 3 and rc3 so wont help me, but i think it is a cracki g idea. They have not arrived yet, and I know it sounds daft, but the neo is the only drone I actually enjoy flying. I guess it's the price, the weight, the ease of use that all makes for a stress less flight. The phantoms always stressed me out when I was flying them.

Umpa, congratulations on your goggles 3/rc 3 purchase. I think I would really enjoy FPV flying with the NEO but that won't be happening unless a cheaper solution becomes available.
If there is no cheaper solution in the near future, I might just have to try a cheap FPV kit.

Yah, that would be nice but unfortunately I do not have any other compatible drones.Just in case you haven't thought of it, Chris (I'm sure you have), you can use the goggles with a bunch of other drones like the A3 and M4P, if you have them.
