this has been driving me nuts for a while now. flying the DJI FPV combo, not the Avata, and the goggles v2 randomly drop the video feed for like half a second to maybe 2 seconds then it comes back. it's not consistent and it doesnt seem related to distance at all ? it can happen when im 30 feet away in my backyard just hovering. signal bars look fine before and after the dropout.

i've tried different channels, switched from auto to manual channel selection, updated the firmware on both the goggles and the aircraft, checked the antenna orientation. my RC signal (using the motion controller) never drops at the same time as the video so i dont think it's interference in the traditional sense.

anyone seen this? starting to wonder if its a hardware issue with the goggles themselves or maybe the air unit on the drone. everything is on the latest firmware as of like two weeks ago.

Had almost identical symptoms last summer. Turned out one of the coaxial connectors on the air unit antennas was slightly loose ? like not enough to look obviously wrong but enough to cause intermittent dropouts. Worth pulling the top shell and just reseating both antenna connections on the air unit if you havent already. It's a five minute job and it fixed mine completely. The firmware stuff you mentioned is all the right stuff to rule out first but sometimes its just a physical connection being dumb.

could also be a 2.4ghz congestion thing even if it doesnt feel like it ? neighbors wifi routers, baby monitors, all that stuff can cause weird intermittent hits even at close range. i had a similar problem at home that basically vanished when i flew anywhere else. doesnt explain why your RC isnt dropping too though, unless the video link is just more senstive to it than the control signal for some reason. not sure about the internals on that enough to say definitively
