It Has a Heads up Display!!! | Airsoftology Unboxing

[@notarussianspy508]

4:40 this is when he gets to the point.

[@dotark]

i feel like we need this on all his vids

thanks

@@shrake5385 You are welcome my dude.

thx

So what else does the HUD show? Your life bar?

[@Phrscv]

Lethalex did you watch the video

[@ChristopherTMeade]

It was a joke man!

[@canadiankrispybacon1450]

Raef G I did, said there would be an updated video on the features?? Can’t find it?

[@redgrave6590]

Raef G woooooosh

[@genno948]

Raef G /r/ woooosh

[@TheMylittletony]

Time for the chinese to make a knockoff of this.

[@railsrockft1576]

You gave me a well needed laugh

[@soop8665]

Ton it’s jsut a sticker on the glads

[@Gwartonium]

If its affordable, this will be the next step in airsoft evolution

[@isosev]

Jay Ileiwat Its not lol.

[@JeebsCS]

Jay Ileiwat to a paintballers the prices are average. To you... Probally not. Mask is like 170 + 200 for the hud. Pads are like 70

[@3nertia]

Compared to what some people pay for airsoft/paintball guns, this thing is 1/4 the price. Could be worth it because it could be useful for more than just airsoft/paintball

[@fightme5543]

Not affordable but its good for what youre getting

[@yustinj.3540]

Jay Ileiwat yea too bad its five hundred damn dollars

[@matthewcarnein6443]

PSA DO NOT BUY Cool review but the tech is end of life. Intel has since bought recon (the company that makes the hud) and has discontinued all support for all recon products. They are shutting it down. This promo is a big moneygrab by empire to try and shovel off all this crap they have left. Way too expensive as well. Their is also no support whatsoever to develop apps for this. They took the API down off their website and its all dead links.

[@paunservos]

NOOOOOOOO

[@Back-alley-technician]

true, i bought it early 2018 and now i have an expensive piece of junk.

[@paunservos]

@@Back-alley-technician how much you want for it

[@Back-alley-technician]

@@paunservos your not gonna get any use out it. Without the app it's useless and the app has been removed from both the play store and the app store. Also if you want to track your friends, they need the app as well. I'm actually trying to make a similar solution using a raspberry pi but that's gonna take me a few months to figure out.

[@paunservos]

@@Back-alley-technician wait so you cant even make a map with it anymore?

[@vcharz7473]

Seeing this man open that box and his face light up like a child just brought a smile to my face, keep up the good work

[@mrbearman_7735]

That's one serious pricetag compared to other masks though.. I hope this inspires other companies to do similar stuff!

[@mrbearman_7735]

LanceyFTW $499 for the mask + HUD, $149 for the mask alone

[@spencershipley9577]

MrBearMan_ I agree, it's expensive but a great idea. If other companies would pick this up and make it cheaper and affordable to the average player it would change the sport.

[@OurHereafter]

yeah drop the price by 35% and i'm in

[@madcuzbad8205]

MrBearMan_ Dye has their e.Voke system that's a bit cheaper, but you have to have the $1,600 M2 MOSair and the newest R2 loader for it to be useful

[@traceyliekos8440]

There's also the fact that to even come close to communicating with your team, someone else ALSO has to buy this. So, yeah...500 for each person, plus usually a 1000+ marker, 200~ hopper, 200+ tank, and 60~ for a pack...there are some things I can live without, especially if you are keeping up VERY basic communication. Plus one more thing to charge every time playing.

[@noobus1423]

Will it make me feel like Tony Stark?

[@Zaacdrums]

I was waiting for someone to say this😂

[@3dprintwiz378]

Would be nice to connect it to a micro drone and check enemy locations.

[@seablackh4wk145]

3D Printwiz Friendly UAV Online

[@Lethls_]

3D Printwiz you can sync a GoPro to it and do it that way

[@3dprintwiz378]

k thanks for the reply, that would be so cool, not only for airsoft but for biking as well.

[@TKO593]

3D Printwiz I have the DJI Mavic with the goggles. I can have it follow me overhead. That would be cool if I could get a feed into the mask. Like watching yourself in 3rd person view.

[@cryptotippy8082]

ur the type of dude to not call hits

[@Everett4God]

Being a tech enthusiast myself, I found this about a month ago and wanted to get it, then I saw the price... I'm excited to see your full review! Interested to see how it works for Airsoft

[@feraligatorade99]

The hud should become completely opaque red when you get hit

[@madcuzbad8205]

In paintball, those forearm protectors aren't necessarily used for reducing pain but for preventing breaks and making dives easier. I personally haven't noticed a huge difference in pain, but I don't think I've ever gotten a broken ball on my Exalt pads

[@doctadrey3000]

I actually know Tippmann for their paintball products more than airsoft, their 98 custom is the most reliable paintball marker in the world.

[@WARTORN1031]

So, fun story: Oakley the sunglass company actually used to make a pair of snowboarding goggles utilizing the same HUD/wrist control system. It told you where your buddies are on the mountain, your speed, altitude, what music was playing in your speakers, etc. They made those a couple years ago. Looks like empire just took that HUD system and applied it into a paintball mask. Great idea, but originality is.. lacking. By taking the idea I mean outright buying it from the same HUD manufacturer. The logo on the wrist band is the exact same. The app is the same, it’s just calculating a few metrics differently. For anyone wondering, they were called the Oakley Airwave and models existed in 2013. You’re welcome, A former Oakley employee of 3 years.

[@ITpanda]

Add SBC, attach Bluetooth module program it to show you general direction of all Bluetooth Pings. Send output to HUD, and know where everyone (that has their phone or fitness tracker) is.

[@jacquescoury2979]

Oh god airsoftology does a speedsoftology

[@jacquescoury2979]

Eclipse it's a joke pull the stick out your ass. Look at a video of mine. I literally play like a speedsofter in cqb.

[@jacquescoury2979]

Clorox Bleach guess what? I play like a speedsofter. Try again.

[@spencershipley9577]

Eclipse I've been shot point blank with a 400+ fps gun and it hurt for like 5 second ls then I was fine, its not as bad as you think Also I'm like both speedsoft and Milsim but I think the bang rules dumb and is easily abbused

[@TheHeew]

Eclipse lol you are so hurt. People like you who takes banter as a insult ruin the sport.

[@mlm_academyofficial2041]

If you whine about how much a bb hurts go and play nerf instead.

[@Thedisastermaster9]

It's $500 new. I see this being useful if you're a frequent milsimer with a team that can afford the helmet. It's a very niche thing right now I'm my opinion and until the price gets more affordable I don't see it being viable.

[@R0GUEOrange]

the mask isn't really milsim style though

[@zanearnold1337]

Orange depends on the milsim

[@anthonymatrisciano924]

Props to you for not adding and intro and extending this past 10 minutes

[@fogstop5126]

This is some great technology.

[@pyrogothica3906]

the HUD used is a recon snow 2, which anyone can buy but support is limited because they were bought out by Intel and all products discontinued as of early summer 2017

[@RedVRCC]

I saw the title and I immediately want to buy it.

[@questionablemotives1670]

Love how in unboxing vids they try to surprise us with whats inside but it’s in the title

[@singular9969]

It’s made for paintball mostly cause there’s bluetooth hoppers that can connect to it and show how many balls you have

[@zacharylancon1126]

Clicked the video without reading the title.... Saw the empire box and I started feeling out with you

[@twist_tm6329]

If you were able to create a field map I can only imagine how useful this would be during speedqb events

[@blubear1225]

Uh.... the tech is great, but itd be much more attractive if it were just a pair of goggles, no mask.

[@elighs.256]

I agree

[@BuggaBoy69]

It's meant for paintball and it kinda sucks. It has a lot of echo and while it looks like it has a lot of visibility with the large lens; the whole lens isn't actually usable because of some barriers inside.

[@trujillor84]

This is the second video i see of u and every "surprise" unboxing is everything you've always wanted😅

[@dixienormous7]

Man it is so funny watching you get excited when you first open boxes 😂 you need to make a compilation of it 😭😭

[@DaveSmith-cp5kj]

"I'm really hoping what is in here is in here". Woah, that's deep bro.

[@spencershipley9577]

Ah Jonathon, such a child during christmas when it comes to unboxing

[@markoIam1]

Worth considering!

[@MathiasKaiser81]

Scotch glass behind you! You r da man

[@50shadesofcerakote]

you mean the candle..?

[@khrisshultz2532]

50shadesofcerakote 😂

[@HALFpastTOAST]

When the Marshals get this and its able to detect a Hit, which player was hit and who fired the shot. then they can link to the cam on the weapon/helmet and watch the replay to quickly confirm the hit..

[@uniformtacos9368]

The hud only works with empire paintball guns. Does not work with other brands very proprietary. Also the hud costs twice as much as the actual Goggle system.

[@feraligatorade99]

This is probably the coolest thing I've seen on this channel. So cool!

[@feraligatorade99]

This is usually a difficult gun to get, but can you review the CA33 series?

[@cwhite7581]

I've wanted this for so long! I didn't know it actually existed!

[@aura9173]

I think that once it becomes more popular and much more widely available the HUD system for airsoft and paintball will be amazing!

[@SlenderCamGaming]

That's a snowboarding goggle HUD by Recon Instruments owned by Intel.

[@WARTORN1031]

SlenderCam sure is! And Oakley manufactured a model of goggles for it. The Airwave. They were neat, got to mess around with it quite a bit since I worked for the Oakley company for a while. It’s cool, but I couldn’t imagine trying to manage a hud flying down a slope at 10+ mph. Probably just make me crash. 🤷‍♂️

[@jacobburgoni2412]

Ok JOHNNY! So I am a sophomore and 15 1/2 in a week and I have been a huge car guy all my life so majority of my summer job earnings go towards a car but I am also into Airsoft and I have a krytac right now and it performs but I really want a polar star mainly for lighter weight and I freaking love that silenced hpa sound it's AMAZING! So my question is, could you please do a video on a budget Hpa gun with everything u need to turn your aeg into hpa the cheapest without sacrificing reliability and too much efficiency/performance. Thank you so much, I love the show, always have, and have a great day!

[@TrevVision]

4:50 when he FINALLY opens the fucking box.

[@CreepyAirsoft]

Others on your team need to have it to see where your teammates are on the field. I don't see many other people getting them at the price.

[@xoawolf]

Ya this seems like a awesome system and makes the sports a whole alot more futuristic feeling, which is pretty kool.

[@iiraiyen]

Isnt that the Recon Snow2 Hud? You can literally do a DIY job on any mask to install it. This isnt a future mask. It would be the future if the screen projected onto the lens. But you guys still have the job done and its a cool mask.

[@gabecollins5585]

They should’ve made it so there’s a small camera on the back so you can see behind you

[@Anmatgreen]

Me couple days ago, in a private Steam chat: "Wouldn't a helmet with a HUD for airsoft be cool?" KZbin today: drops this video in recommend

[@lam1991hahaha]

I use a mcdavid hexpad armguard for forearm protection, pretty low profile and offers enough protection

[@ghostietheghost]

kinda wanna connect the HUD to a thermal camera, straight up would feel nice

[@zellryss4783]

Next thing you know we're gonna have cars that turn into pillows.

[@ottovonwallace830]

Doesn't matter where you pad up on. In CQB, a BB will always find the soft parts.

[@PaulTurley81]

yes i would get the hud as i can see it working for other things not just airsoft or paintball

[@Nightsgamer14]

there should be someone that makes cheap drones that will connect to the hub and be like a recon device that allows you to highlight people

[@heavymetalairsoft6188]

I've been waiting for this about 10 years now! I thought Dye was coming out with one also. I'll wait for the reviews before I pick one up but, a few questions for you. 1. Will it work with my helmet? 2. Can you link the HUD to a camera mounted on my rail?

[@macfive4597]

I never would have thought Wall Hacks would be implemented into airsoft.

[@haydendesserich7616]

Hey Jonathan. I bought a airosft megastore bronze mystery box. I got a UKarms zm51 (the worst possible gun) do you think mystery boxes are actually worth it? Hi from Colorado!!

[@SilentKnight91]

Depending on the box you can usually get high quality stuff

[@TheRecon614]

All of evike's mystery boxes are profit or breakign even. I'd recommend going for theirs.

[@arandom8280]

Hayden Desserich ASM sucks bruh

[@haydendesserich7616]

FPS Wolf Airsoft it seems like that's the case

[@haydendesserich7616]

Quiby ok I'll check them out

[@nuggetstew4380]

This could actually be the future of airsoft if it does make it to our sport

[@antoniovalley8702]

I would surely get and run the HUD system

[@ultralaggerREV1]

1) you showed the mask but not the HUD and functions 2) is there one of those mask but the HUD is on the LEFT??

[@MrGoogle87]

The mask already looks fogged up straight out of the box :o

[@sniperyuni]

this + scope cam feed = no need to ads

[@fenrirtyr8577]

Seems like something that will require development before the weekend player can afford to buy it but it's an exciting idea.

[@thenameofxavier]

Now this looks amazing . I would use this on my outdoor field of the Bluetooth range is good enough . Definatly on my buy list

[@surrender615]

One of my paintball teammates is in the magazine look for the clown

[@RangerColinLZ]

Hopefully in not too long, tech like this can be condensed down to fit standard tactical goggles, and eventually something like Oakley M Frames. Ghost Recon status right here.

[@phantommantis9371]

" take your game to the next level"??? you are the next level good sir! but the mask is cool ^^ . if i had the money or sponsorship, i would run that mask until the cows came home.

[@kristenmoon9964]

I welcome this stuff. Especially if they can have more informaion going into it to help determine wind direction to help calculate the shots. Sounds liek an amazing thorugh imo would definately buy;.

[@davidwilems8915]

Well, this kind of technology would bring the military even closer to the Halo HUDs, and simmilar games. Cant wait for this to become common tech

[@sensationalfailure]

Is it just me or did you never publish that full review you announce in this video?

[@jo_shmo_829]

The next great mask will be the one that is able to fit ANY style of glasses under and that will never ever fog the glasses and the mask itself. That sir would be the greatest mask ever

[@rad1ata]

JO_SHMO_ Dye i4/i5 and the EVS in the video.

[@jo_shmo_829]

Lucky Ahoge nope not at all I have an i4. Doesn’t fit my glasses and makes my glasses fog

[@rad1ata]

JO_SHMO_ must be your frames then. My glasses fit just fine with my i4s.

[@jo_shmo_829]

Lucky Ahoge do your glasses fog

[@rad1ata]

JO_SHMO_ nope. Not with i4s or i5s at least.

[@BigMacAttack83]

IT nerd here! I work on a support desk for now

[@shiro5415]

Of course bbs can get through the ventilation, it’s made for paintball.

[@magaz]

This is a really interesting concept. I would only be interested if the actual HUD device was sold as a stand alone product without having to use that particular mask. There is no way that mask will fit in line with my current helmet setup...

[@spectratio]

Something like this would be so useful for military/police uses

[@Аку-ю7ф]

Soon enough cheating won’t be not calling hits, it will be ESP

[@Phunny]

I can definitely see this be used for tournaments in the future :)

[@cardinaldefense4447]

Mentions HUD in title, watch entire video... Doesn't show you a HUD. Instead you get... (Stay tuned for the next episode when we Really Do cover the HUD) [3 seasons later]

[@Deerugs]

This is the future of gaming...

[@pribor_3333]

somehow the camera didn't focused behind you, not on you

[@ilovechoccymilk343]

So ur telling me if i get this and there is a guy that has one on the other team then i get irl wall hax??

[@seamusbyrne8259]

Maybe use nukeproof enduro sleeves, there for MTB, but their super light.

[@thechosenone9589]

My boy is turning into a speed softer

[@kesselsauer4441]

ight, i'm making a MJOLNIR Mark V helmet with this.

[@tommytuomaala9087]

Evs hud is kind of HDDVD(beta Max) as evoke is blue ray (VHS).

[@LuciTulcea]

A doom guy mask is next!

[@maverick698869]

Jonathan, when are you going to do a full review on this mask?

[@devildogairsoft9048]

I would deffintly buy this mask for my entire team

[@Memethefyed]

Everybody gangsta till call of duty zombies becomes reality

[@powerupminion]

Not surprised that paintballers need help to play... xD

[@isosev]

Hey, the military does have a HUD system too. Its a flip down monocle but hey, they have a HUD.

[@_ezra6217]

no, no they don't.

[@powerupminion]

Paintballers are just airsofters without honesty...

[@halcyon1644]

Sure, they may not have honesty... But anyone can tell they've been hit.

[@yungslump]

PowerupMinionDK truuuu

[@derekw8475]

I'm interested to see your review and how this applies to airsoft. Perhaps somebody will create an app so you can sync the mask with a mosfet like the spectre mk2 with that special hop up chamber that counts rounds so you can always know how much ammo you have? Otherwise, I don't think it's really that important to be able to read my texts in the middle of a game. Perhaps if you had a good phone plan this system could replace a dedicated headset with a radio for your phone assuming you have good reception and the communications are on point.

[@Raymo2u]

It would be great if you could use the Hud for your barrel scope or other team players body/helmet cams....other than that I dont see a point.

[@iliaspantzakis8903]

Imagine playing airsoft and sum guy gets a airstrike

[@marcm83]

Not a signal HUD was shown this day.

[@caseyjones1394]

Hi Jonathan! My friend and I have mutually agreed that you should put all of these big talks on the back burner , and start doing some gameplay videos showcasing your Airsoft Skills which you do have right? You are traveling all over the place man you could show us so many different fields!

[@WoodlandFops]

Casey Jones He is a review channel. He has gameplay videos though. Look at them..

[@farisceranic272]

Very interesting but it would be a problem if people on the other team had the mask so you could see there position as well.

[@delhayequentin]

Did you see the warq mask too? I think this mask is better for paintball and the warq for airsoft particulary in CQB

[@hsa_cqspeed]

Will you do a video on how this works? I really wanna buy one of these and I want to see the head's up display.

[@jackson22668]

Imagine if that was hooked up to a mini drone and your head movement only moves the camera on the drone

[@hoodiefilms7924]

*Does it show HP and Armor? Also minimap. That'd be real upgrade.*
