Updated Goggles N3

[RcHawks]

I was so disappointed the viewing of information using the Goggle N3 because of the focus that I bought the Goggles 3 to be the FPV to use because of the viewing adjustments. Got a message that the software was outdated and needed updating which I did and now it's sharp as can be...I'm glad I bought a second pair of goggles just the same to use with my Avata 2. Win, Win on that one!

Question about the focus issues you had with the N3 prior to the software update. Was it the sort of peripheral "bending" of the image and/or some of the ghosting of the OSD info that some have reported? If so, good to hear it was a software issue vs. hardware.

The weather is slowly getting better in my area.

Thanks for the update information.

I too found the text a little fuzzy with the N3 goggles and I didn't care for it.

I'll update the stuff and try the goggles again.

I still haven't made it through the tutorials yet.

I finally got the MC3 down some. It's much different feel than using the standard type controller. I'm still in beginner mode myself.

Not bending, the sharpness or clarity wasn't there. The numbers looked fuzzy. I had my neighbor who wears glasses try it and the first thing he said was it's sharp as can be. So I thought it must be because because I don't wear glasses (maybe +1.0 readers for tiny print every once in a while). He handed them back to me and I continued to set up and the numbers looked fine.

Coming from trad sticks. Initially did not like the MC3. Seemed slow to respond and real limited angle of attack. Took more than a few flights to adapt to it. In real tight spots where needed I now use a combo of the joy stick button and the normal motion to fly to clear spaces. Just slow and steady.

IMHO, MC3 is so different from trad sticks that skills developed using it do not translate well to trad. sticks. It's still a fun way to safely fly. Combined with DJI stabilization you can fly into and out of some real tight areas. Fun for exploring. Great for introducing people into immersive FPV.

After purchasing the DJI FPV RC3 for manual mode flying I rarely use the MC3. Maybe a couple times since late last year for a change of pace for indoors flying. Did discover that even with the FPV RC3 the N and S modes have similar limited attack angles and response. Exception is yawing a hard 180 degrees. Conclusion is the tuning of N and S modes are more the limiting issue than the MC3.

* I haven't done it yet, but the sensitivity can be adjusted in setting
* Agreed
* I will use traditional sticks for the majority of my FPV and use the MC3 for something different and probably won't use the MC3 for the Avata 2.

MC3 gains can be adjusted. Settings>controller>gains. But just m/sec max for lateral, forward, reverse, climb, and dive speeds but still limited by DJI tuning to a relatively mellow pitch. Max angle of attack seem similar or identical for both RC3 and MC3 in N and S mode. IIRC maybe ~45 degree roll. Unsure of climb and dive pitch, but not very aggressive. I just set everything to max allowed except reverse was left at factory default.

I updated mine the minute they were delivered and it’s never given me a stitch of trouble even with my “old eyes” easy to read.

Great to here with the updated firmware there is zero N3 image issues. Wonder why DJI even has the eyeholes vs. just the full image like most other box goggles?

Bit of a correction, clarification to post#8. Haven't flown the Neo for awhile in N or S modes outdoors. Yesterday flew using the MC3 for one battery and it felt deader than dead in response. Powered up the DJI FPV RC3 to give it a go in S mode. Realized it to is a bit "dead" when it comes to pitch response. Steepest lengths of my driveway has a 6-10% pitch. Could not keep the Neo parallel above the grade when descending without cutting the throttle and dropping the speed over ground. If flying Manual mode with the same stick inputs Neo would have dived into the ground. Probably the same into the ground if flying angle mode in a non-stabilized quad. Thought popped into the brain wishing S mode was a non-stabilized angle mode with a few more m/sec of top speeds in all directions. N for slow and stable. S for faster not restricted by the stabilization system. M for pucker moments.
