Pimax Crystal Wide FOV Glass Lenses

[@Nobody-Nowhere]

I really hope Pimax keeps developing this interchangeable lens system on their future headsets, i think its a great idea. There is no need for a one size fits all headset in PCVR, the whole idea of PCVR is that you can customize it based on your needs.

[@HeadsetHistorian]

Also, it's great to see you telling the fov of the standard lenses truthfully. The website STILL has the horizontal fov falsely advertised as 125. Please tell someone to update that.

[@Godfather1010]

It's a different tool Developers of Headsets use.

[@HeadsetHistorian]

Sweviver, your production value is excellent. Always a treat seeing a video from you!

[@Kryojenix]

I think he's Swepimaxian now 😛

[@Mellowest]

Can't wait to try a set of the wide FOV lenses, thanks for the update @pimax!

[@StekuVideo]

Any comment on the reduced binocular overlap of the Wide FoV lenses. There is no such thing as a free lunch. Wider FoV comes with some compromise...

[@gr-skil]

Loving my Crystal for flight sims, THE best headset currently available for it!! Looking forward to getting my hands on the wide FOV lenses for even more immersion!!👍

[@UTubeSL]

Isn't this achieved by reducing the binocular overlap? I have seen reports that it is... if so, this reduces the appeal significantly tbh.

[@patrickle1]

For reals no mention of this?

[@cheeeeezewizzz]

The early samples did reduce overlap, but it was still better than the aero.

[@jeremylupke7443]

I’ve been waiting. When am I going to receiving mine?

[@granthartley]

Just keep in mind guys, that the mirror views used in this video are misleading and do not accurately represent the FOV increase you will get. This is because Martin has the Wide FOV headset in a position that is further back/away from the planes dash in the cockpit, which will make it appear as a wider FOV than it actually would be if the person was positioned in the exact same spot, relative to the dash. The same effect has occurred in the steam VR Home Screen examples. Just thought I would note this so as to avoid any disappointment if considering purchasing. Would have been nice to have a mention of the binoculars overlap reduction that most commented on with the prototype versions too. For me personally, this is still not significant enough of a FOV upgrade, for me to get rid of my 8KX and buy a Crystal sadly. 120 degrees horizontal is my minimum horizontal FOV that I’m willing to compromise down to, which hopefully the Somnium VR1 will provide early next year. Then will no doubt grab the Pimax 12K. 😅

[@der60er]

nice guys. hope of some new infos at CES about the 12k !

[@TonyDrecaps]

Looking forward to this! Hopefully still really clear and good binocular overlap

[@lorsch.]

Do these work with the HonsVR prescription lenses for the Crystal?

[@dogadarko3783]

i watched you since 2016 man keep up the good work and thnx for the samsung gear vr mod for htc vive what a days :) we are early testers of pancake lenses :)))

[@lassmirandadennsiewillja3943]

you can still not buy them right?

[@Rlmfx]

I'm wondering what is the point of the original lenses now, if the new ones are just as good but wider fov. Why not just ship with the wider lenses as standard in future?

[@ShaneMcGrath.]

Great to see Pimax keep pushing the limits of wider FOV, it's my biggest gripe with current headsets, My Quest 3 isn't enough and it does break the immersion constantly seeing the side of the goggles. A little out of my price range but I hope one day to get a proper VR headset with wide FOV.

[@steveflynn9279]

Do you know when these lenses will be available?

[@gizahoonapandemic2450]

anyone have any idea when the lenses will be up for sale? was hoping that they would debut on the website during CES but no dice.

[@waseemchand3527]

Good job Pimax 👍 when i ever be able to get my VR Headset I am sure i will go for Pimax. I love it. Thank you soo much.

[@Trigenetic]

Make it battery free and you got a winner :)

[@tripltred65]

Is there a link to purchase these?

[@MarcReisSyllogism]

WFOV in Glass, Nice!!! 😮

[@ryszardorzechowicz5956]

What computer box (white one) is presented in your clip? Also I spotted that you use vertical mount for graphic card. Would you please specify a model? Thanks!

[@sylviozanetti]

Comgratulations Pimax team!

[@WOojerVest3andQuest3onMe]

Martin been changing lenses since HTC Vive, such a wonderful feature. I wish I could change out my lenses on my PSVR2 I have a small smudge from my prescription glasses rubbing them. I would buy one of these crystal headsets if it would work on my PS5. I wonder how many more of these Crystal headsets you guys, would sell if it we’re PS5 compatible… 🤔 And also if it could play my Quest games in standalone mode. It would be the all in one headset. If it could do all that… I would gladly buy one of these. 😉👌

[@Godfather1010]

I have 12,000hrs in VR and the Pimax Crystal is the only Headset that is uncompromisingly perfect, now more FOV WOW, great video ❤ have a Merry Christmas 🎄

[@vracan]

barely more fov! still does not compete with thier older headset fov like my pimax5k+ which I still swear by today after 5 years.

[@ji3200]

Be prepare because Pimax gonna overprice this.

[@Godfather1010]

@vracan the picture is not comparable in Pavlov with ET, DFR & Quadviews it runs 16k per eye SS and 120hz

[@AL.farmlife]

​@@Godfather1010fuck that if FOV is small for SIM racing it's shit headset

[@Godfather1010]

@@AL.farmlife FOV better than the index, other Pimax headsets if its FOV you like over the best picture

[@SkyKing-Opa]

Love my Crystal and I’m excited also. ❤

[@simcoyote]

100-115 FOV is not nearly enough. Minimum for me is 140. 8KX has great FOV but the binocular overlap kills it. Fingers crossed for 12K.

[@Kaboom1212Gaming]

What headset do you have that has 140 degrees that ISN'T the 8k / 5k series? I can't think of a single one that reaches anywhere near that high.

[@davidspangler7667]

I'm sure they will be out of stock. Head strap. Out of stock. Dmas speakers. Out of stock. Tried to order crystal sim version only. Out of stock. Had to pay for the bundle to get the Crystal. Is there a supply problem with pimax? I am getting my crystal in a few days. Looking forward to it. However, please do something about your supply

[@joecolfs]

I'm excited for these new lenses, I love the crystal for DCS, so much better thatn the HP Reverb G2 and even better that the Aero in my opinion

[@michalbodis330]

Hello,after a few days my pimax crystal stopped working.After inserting a charged battery,the red light on the start button is on.I can't turn on the standalone mode and I can't connect the crystal to the pc.I tried some advice from you tube,but still no change.Is there any solution or is it necessary to send the crystal to the service?Thank you in advance for your advice.

[@idiscovertv]

Hey Martin! I love my Crystal! Cant wait to get hold of these!

[@outoutmtb1949]

do we know if existing VR prescription lenses will work in them or do we have to order new ones when available ??

[@Delboyii]

I doubt that my VR Rock lenses will fit as we had trouble with them fitting on the 35ppd lens due to my high prescription. VR Rock produced a set of bespoke mounts to solve my problem.

[@ITguy723]

구형 pimax 5k+ 모델에도, 렌즈교체가,,,가능할까?

[@Hakeem597]

You said the Pimax is bundled with the 35ppd glass lens? Are these already attached to the PIMAX? or are they an accessory?

[@marcusdamberger]

They come with the Pimax attached. No need to buy the 35ppd lenses separately.

[@Kryojenix]

YAAAAASSS!!!😍🥰😘🥰😍

[@cnnhean]

i can't find the comfort add on on the website

[@H.Despres]

Hoping my prescription lenses will be compatible with the new lenses….. was this tested?

[@pwsmanowar]

I heard through the grapevine they don't.

[@CSOCSO]

Is the rendered resolution also higher now?

[@Glider324]

You talk about the pre-production lenses already reviewed, but I thought the production lenses are different? Without a variety of reviews on the actual lenses I cannot go ahead because in Aus. there is no way to try them out.

[@StekuVideo]

The lenses are still not available, nobody knows when they will be. When the production lenses will be available (in several months I hope) there will be probably still a lot of time for the independent reviews to test them.

[@cpunktspunkt748]

I don't understand why these lenses are teased, but cannot be ordered, or actually why they are not just an option to choose when ordering a crystal in the first place

[@skid68]

Om jag minns rätt sa Sebastian att han fick lägre vertikal FOV med Wide.

[@ToureTaylor]

FOV is so underrated in the VR industry. Pimax is one of those companies who will do what others won't.

[@samcurmudgeon]

"Your headset is constantly getting better" - want your $1,500 HMD to work with your Index base stations and controllers? That's just $200 to "get better." Want DMAS audio? Just $100 to "get better." Want a top strap so it doesn't feel like you've strapped a brick to your head? Just $xxx to "get better." Want wide FOV just like our older headsets that were not $1,500? Just $xxx for wide FOV lenses to "get better."

[@idnintel]

money talks bullshit walks bro I'm from the 80s btw ;)

[@ji3200]

Probably another overprice accessary. 140 fov advertise on Crystal and this should be included but i guess its gonna be $150 to $200 accessary

[@Snack.Dragon]

I doubt glass Aspheric lenses will be future of VR

[@AL.farmlife]

fxck that clarity if you can't sens the speeds because of peripheral vision

[@AL.farmlife]

what progress they done from 200 to 100😂😂😂😂 no wide FOV no buy
