The most useful DJI Goggles 3 accessories are a padded bag or case, replacement foam padding, a USB-C PD power bank for long sessions, and optician-made corrective lenses if the built-in diopters don't cover your eyes. Be careful with aftermarket straps and skins: the battery wires run through the Goggles 3 headband, and the front has cameras and sensors you shouldn't cover.
What comes with Goggles 3
Per DJI's user manual, Goggles 3 come with a pair of -2.0 D corrective lenses in frames, an additional forehead pad for use with those lenses, a USB-C OTG cable for connecting to your phone, and a lens cleaning cloth. The battery is built into the rear of the headband, so there's no separate battery to buy.
Bags and cases
- DJI Sling Bag. The DJI Sling Bag holds an Avata 2, Goggles 3, RC Motion 3, a charging hub and three batteries in one shoulder bag. It's the easiest way to carry a full kit.
- Hard case. Third-party hard cases protect better against crushing in checked luggage or a car trunk. Look for one with a cutout that fits the goggles with the antennas folded.
- Travel tip. The goggles' battery is 21.6 Wh, well under the 100 Wh airline limit, but because it's built in, keep the goggles in your carry-on with your drone batteries. See traveling with a drone.
Always fold the antennas before packing. DJI's manual warns that unfolded antennas can be damaged.
Foam padding and forehead pad
DJI says the foam padding is detachable and replaceable. To swap it, hold the bottom of the foam and pull it off gently (not from the sides), then line up the posts on the new foam with the holes on the goggles and press around the edge until both sides click. Don't clean the foam or the soft side of the battery compartment with alcohol.
If you install corrective lenses and your eyelashes brush them, fit the additional forehead pad that comes in the box. It pushes the goggles slightly further from your face.
Corrective lenses
The built-in diopters cover -6.0 D to +2.0 D, and the included -2.0 D lenses extend that to -8.0 D. For astigmatism or stronger prescriptions, take the included lens frames to an optician to have lenses cut to fit. Details in Goggles 3 with glasses.
Power bank
DJI says you can charge the goggles from a power bank over USB-C and keep using them while they charge. A small PD power bank in a pocket, with a short right-angle USB-C cable, turns a 3-hour battery into an all-day one. More in Goggles 3 battery life.
Headphones
The goggles have no speaker. For sound during playback, DJI supports USB-C headphones or USB-C adapters with a built-in DAC. Basic passive adapters without a DAC won't work.
Straps, skins and other mods
- Straps. The stock headband holds the battery and its wires. DJI warns not to pull it hard. If you add a top strap for comfort, pick one that doesn't tug on or squeeze the headband.
- Skins and wraps. Vinyl skins are cosmetic. Keep them off the two front cameras, the proximity sensor inside, vents, and the lenses.
- Antenna mods. DJI doesn't sell upgraded antennas for Goggles 3. See Goggles 3 antennas and range before opening anything.
- Stands and mounts. A headphone stand is a simple way to store the goggles on a desk without pressing on the foam or the lenses. Keep them out of direct sunlight, which DJI warns can damage the screens through the lenses.
Controller
The most useful add-on of all is the RC Motion 3 if you don't have one. It's required for head tracking and the AR cursor.
