>Wait, why does the goggles look like VR goggles, but the drone only has 1 camera?

Funny, I was thinking the same when I watched the video. The optimist in me hopes there's a pair of lower-res stereo cameras located somewhere near the main camera (the one we can see) being specifically for shooting video? The way you described it is exactly how I thought it operated until I got further into the video. It's a great step forward in drones with added range, batter, etc, but the whole "first-person VR" shtick feels like it was only half-thought out and never changed during the design/implementation

Even some kind of 'splitter' for 3d vision like Panasonic had on their handheld videocamera range (VW-CLT2) would work I think...
