this has been bugging me for a while now and i cant figure out if its my unit or something environmental. flying the DJI FPV combo, been fine for months, but lately i get these random video dropouts through the goggles v2. not a full disconnect, just like the feed goes blocky or freezes for half a second then comes back. RC signal seems fine the whole time, its just the video.

i noticed it seems worse when im flying near the tree line or if theres any kind of structure between me and the quad. which makes me think its just multipath interference on the OcuSync but ive flown in way worse RF environments before without this happening. also checked the antennas on the goggles and they look fine, no visible damage.

anyone dealt with this, is there a firmware thing i should look at or is this just the nature of flying in cluttered areas. my friend suggested it could be thermal throttling on the goggles but i dont know if thats even a thing

thermal throttling on the goggles isnt really a thing as far as i know, at least not in the way that would cause video artifacts like that. what you're describing sounds pretty classic multipath to me, the OcuSync 3 on the FPV system is solid but it can get confused when signals are bouncing around structures and dense tree cover. the half second freeze and recover is usually the link trying to switch channels or adjust bitrate on the fly.

one thing worth trying is repositioning how you hold the controller, sometimes the body position changes antenna orientation in ways you dont realize. also check if the dropout pattern changes if you face a different direction while stationary, that can tell you a lot about whats causing it. firmware wise i'd make sure youre on the latest but i dont think theres been anything specifically addressing this recently.

had somthing similar last summer, turned out one of the antenna connectors on the goggles had worked itself just slightly loose from a drop i had a few weeks earlier. looked totally fine externally but there was just enough play in it to cause intermittent issues. might be worth pressing firmly on each antenna base while the system is on and watching if the feed quality changes at all
