Great, now I need some explanation. Pardon my ignorance, FPV is not my thing, I'm just curious. The entire setup contains FPV camera, video transmitter and goggles, but the drone itself is controlled by either standard or Cendence radio, correct? How do you monitor main camera and Go 4 app with telemetry?
All correct. And you really can't monitor your GoPro app and main camera, unfortunately. which is a definite drawback particularly when you are a single operator. When I'm using the goggles, I have a little bit of a crack that I can see through down at the bottom and I'm able to glance at my screen a little bit, but you definitely have to be mindful of the time and not let yourself run batteries down etc.
Thank you for detailed explanation. I'm sure you know what you're doing and what is the difference between a Cinewhoop and Inspire 2 class drones. They're crashing these small marvels all the time, yet they survive, while Inspire will not
. Congrats and good luck filming!Indeed... Flying your I2 fpv is not to be taken lightly ?... The pucker factor is pretty high. I wouldn't do it probably if I were just flying recreationally or for real estate or something... But for chasing cars on a show, it actually feels less risky than some of the risks you normally have to take ?Thank you for detailed explanation. I'm sure you know what you're doing and what is the difference between a Cinewhoop and Inspire 2 class drones.

When going through Smart Controller we'll get noticeably higher latency - just measured 140-170ms (as opposed to 25-50ms in DJI FPV goggles). So while this Smart Controller setup is nice for camera operator to see what pilot sees it's definitely not that suitable for tight and narrow and close proximity flying for pilot..
Now I'm confused ... What Smart Controller has to do with Inspire 2 and DJI FPV? Please elaborate, what exactly setup you're talking about ...When going through Smart Controller we'll get noticeably higher latency - just measured 140-170ms (as opposed to 25-50ms in DJI FPV goggles).

I get seasick all the time in goggles, but seems it's the only way right now ..
Aww, that's a beauty of DJI ..
You can't have HDMI output straight from goggles when using DJI FPV system. Nor any other system other than using Smart Controller (which normally is used to fly Mavics) - plugging USB cable into it, running separate app and then getting HDMI out from Smart Controller
I don't know then what's the point of flying FPV equipped drone without goggles, but - like I said previously - FPV is not my thing, particularly on Inspire ...Aww, that's a beauty of DJI ..
What @rpossum was previously referring to is that theoretically speaking you don't need to be in goggles when flying using DJI FPV system - if you own Smart Controller you can have HDMI output from it and watch fpv stream from DJI FPV on regular monitor, yet .. what I was referring to is that this setup adds significant amount of latency which makes flying in fpv much riskier..
Well if you want to be aware of surroundings and (as @rpossum mentioned) peek into "main" camera from time to time - then monitor is your choice. Sure it is not as immersive, but FPV stands for First Person View - doesn't matter if it's goggles or monitor you're viewing ..
Oh, don't get me wrong. I'm aware of benefits good FPV system is capable to deliver in filming. With Inspire, however, this is definitely a 2 person operation. Since everybody hates me ... well, you know what I mean ... LOL.
Actually I'm lost here
Who hates, why hates, what for - no idea
It's just my failed attempt to humour you ... I can't find a partner to operate the camera while I'm piloting my Inspire 2, because everybody hates me ... A joke, but indeed I'm using Inspire almost exclusively for landscape photography, all solo in remote wilderness. FPV filming is the last thing in my mind to considerActually I'm lost here

Lol, I was afraid perhaps there's some kind of backstory/inside joke I'm not aware ofIt's just my failed attempt to humour you ...

A joke, but indeed I'm using Inspire almost exclusively for landscape photography, all solo in remote wilderness. FPV filming is the last thing in my mind to consider
yeah... I got the smart controller because I needed to be able to feed video from the FPV to the production ... director etc... (when I'm actually flying FPV quads)Aww, that's a beauty of DJI ..

Oh, I forgot to comment on this wintery masterpiece of yours! Haha, I will probably had to change my pants after such flight, but this is where good FPV is shining, indeed. Every cinewhoop maniac will laugh at you, but to me it's exactly what I'll do. Imagine this scenery with a traces of light fog, blue sky and sunlight rays ... I've seen such only once in my life, walking thru with famous Russian Zenith TTL camera ... 36 frames on a roll of B&W film, 3 only left ... None come up with attention worthy shotActually I'm lost here
Anyway – Inspire definitely is 2 person operation, but that does not eliminate great advantage you'd have when flying in FPV.. I'm already picturing flight like this, but done on Inspire, with "proper" camera and separate guy to operate the camera:
