firemanphil 0 #140 January 22, 2013 so when did u get the goggles and where are the unboxing pics and the low down on what u think of it hehe :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ifell 0 #141 January 22, 2013 I'm not impressed at the fact there were no instructions with them, going to the recon website gave me all I needed... Big button on welcome page! The fit is not great with me helmet (Tonfly 1x), they are as bulky as I expected them to be... I am impressed with the actual device though! Easy to see and not invasive Like Kallend said all I need now is a DZ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

colossus 0 #144 January 23, 2013 Quick question folks. Anyone know how to zero out the altitude so that I can see the AGL altitude, instead of the ASL altitude? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ifell 0 #145 January 23, 2013 Ok so I tried them on the bus and the driver confirmed speed was accurate and when ever we were going up or down a hill altitude seemed to change in real time but it will be interesting to see with greater vertical speed. Set the brightness to lowest and ha it on for a good 20-25 minutes and it took close to 25% ofthe battery. The whole time I was trying to figure out how to zero the altitude... Gonna try and contact them tomorrow I guess I would not recommend driving with these on lol In the end they seem work as promised aside from the fact there are no instructions in the box and we don't know how to zero the alti if at all Edit:: It took a solid 8-9 minutes to get a lock on the GPS signal outside Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hjumper33 0 #148 January 23, 2013 Hmm perhaps my order somehow didnt go through, I was pretty sure I got a confirmation screen at the time though, odd. I guess ill have to pick up some used ones in a month Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
firemanphil 0 #149 January 23, 2013 woop woop mine arrived today .. no notification just fedex :) will make take pics and post asap also after my first jump with it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
colossus 0 #150 January 23, 2013 I was taking a close look at mine last night as it was charging. The lense on the front of the goggles is only held in place by tabs on each side of the goggle, and it appears that it is also glued at the nose piece. My concern is that if there were enough force at the wrong angle in freefall that the lense will snap off pretty easilly. For those who can jump with them, please provide feedback as you can, as well as tips for usage!! :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
