Product Profile
Introduction
DJI Goggles 3 (hereinafter referred to as goggles) are equipped with two high-performance
screens and ultra-low-latency image transmission for use with DJI aircraft, allowing for a real-
time aerial First Person View (FPV) experience. DJI Goggles 3 supports the Head Tracking
function. With this function, the aircraft and gimbal can be controlled using head movements.
When used with the DJI RC Motion 3, users can control the aircraft and the gimbal camera freely
to meet their shooting needs in various scenarios.
To provide a more comfortable experience, the goggles support diopter adjustment so that
glasses are not required during use. Two cameras are positioned on the front side of the goggles,
in order to allow users to view the surrounding environment via Real View without removing the
goggles. The goggles can also share the liveview to a mobile device via Wi-Fi.

4. Adjust the diopters of the goggles according to your needs and lock the knobs.

• After installing the -2.0D Corrective Lenses, the diopter value displayed on the screen
is not the actual diopter value. The actual diopter value is the sum of the on-screen
value and -2.0D.

Purchasing and Installing Your Own Corrective Lenses

If you require astigmatism correction or the diopters of the goggles cannot meet your needs,
you can purchase suitable lenses and use the corrective lens frames to install them.

• When purchasing lenses, bring the full set of -2.0D Corrective Lenses (a pair with the
frames) to a professional optician to ensure that the shape, size, astigmatism axis,
and edge thickness (< 1.8 mm) of the lenses meet the installation requirements of the
corrective lens frames.

1. Push and remove the -2.0D lens from the frame. Turn the frame over.

2. Identify the shortest cut edge (c) in the frame.

3. Take out the purchased lenses, also identify the shortest cut edge.
4. Distinguish the left and right lens and the corresponding frame. Align the shortest cut edge
and install the lens into the frame with the concave side of the lens facing the eye.

5. Make sure the lens is installed in the correct way and not tilted. Clean the lens with the lens
cleaning cloth to wipe off fingerprints and dust.
6. Mount the corrective lenses to the goggles.
7. Adjust the diopters of the goggles according to your needs and lock the knobs.

• If you usually wear -9.0D glasses, you can purchase a pair of -3.0D lenses, and adjust
the diopters of the goggles to -6.0D. Then the overall diopter value will be -9.0D after
the self-prepared lenses are installed.

Using the Additional Forehead Pad

After installing the corrective lenses, the distance between the lenses and your eyes is reduced
and your eyelashes might sweep the lenses. If you feel any discomfort, install the additional
forehead pad.

Risk and Warnings

When the aircraft detects any risk after powering on, there will be a warning prompt on the
goggles screen. Pay attention to the prompt during flight and take necessary actions accordingly
to avoid product damage or risk of injury.
If the Signal Lost Action of the aircraft is set to RTH, when the control signal or transmission
is lost during flight, the aircraft will automatically initiate Failsafe RTH and fly back to the last
recorded Home Point.
In emergency situations during flight, such as if a collision occurs, a motor stalls, the aircraft
rolls in the air, or the aircraft is out of control and is ascending or descending quickly, the
motors can be stopped by pressing the motion controller lock button four times.

• Stopping motors mid-flight will cause the aircraft to crash. Operate with caution.

If the goggles screen goes off unexpectedly during flight, press the motion controller lock
button once to brake the aircraft first, and then initiate RTH manually. After the aircraft is back,
check the goggles power level and try to restart the goggles. If the problem persists, contact DJI
support.

Low Blue Light Statement

Light from displays can cause eyestrain and retina damage which can affect vision over time.
DJI Goggles 3 adopts micro-OLED eye-protection screens, which can effectively reduce the high-
energy shortwave blue light and its emission range, therefore protecting users from exposure
to harmful blue light. DJI Goggles 3 has obtained the Low Blue Light certification.
It is highly recommended to follow the instructions below to protect your eyes against
prolonged display use:
• Look away from the screen and then at a distant place for 20 seconds every 20 minutes.
• Rest your eyes for 10 minutes after 2 hours of continuous use.
• Roll your eyes upward and then in a large circle every few hours.
• When your eyes get tired, try to blink at a normal rate, then close your eyes and rest for a
minute.
