New Phantom 4 pilot tries VR for fpv

[elharvo]

Hi all,
This is my first post, I've been lurking for a good while but now that I have a half dozen flights under my belt I feel I'm qualified to post (jk)
I went ahead and got myself some fpv gogs as I find my iPad just isn't bright enough to see in the daylight, even with the hood, plus people are always crowding around me whenever I fly, which is distracting when trying to keep track of the bird and execute camera moves.
I have not used the fpv feature yet as it has been raining nonstop here in Vancouver , however, I did download some VR apps and the zeiss app and man are they crappy!!! The resolution is horrific! What should I expect resolution wise?
Anyone care to share their experience?
PS. I wasn't expecting the world for $30, but MAN, I didn't expect it to be THIS bad!!!
Google Cardboard is just terrible!
Wow, can't believe I haven't heard more about how bad it is... Animated Lego looks more detailed.

You really could use a better hood for your iPad such as this:
Hoodman HAV2 Drone Aviator Hood for iPad Air 1/2 HAV2 B&H Photo
also this extension helps too: Hoodman HAV2E | B&H Photo Video
One you can stick your whole face in on bright days. I find a good hood will do you better than FPV gogs as it is easier to maintain VLOS while flying, almost impossible with goggles.

Litchi does have an FPV view though if you want to try that out.
