corrective lenses came in and I have done tests, and made up a mounting system that many people may want to use who also wear glasses.
FIRST: the 2.5 diopter lenses are almost perfect. For far distance glasses, I need 3.5 diopters and for near focus computer reading I need 4.5 to 5.0 diopter (different eye needs different power). The 2.5 diopter made the far distance glasses do a good job. I was right to the "bare limit" where I could see pixels and raster lines on a white field. I played INCEPTION video and looked for the fine hair in leading lady. I also used my more powerful 4.5-5.0 glasses (near glasses) to see if that made looking at the video any better. Yes, it was easier on my eyes to see fine detail.....but maybe too much detail. It also caused the chromatic aberation to get much more pronounced. I am quite satisfied with the far glasses with the 2.5 corrective lens package. This will also allow people who don't use glasses to be able to view the
goggles with no problem.
I noticed that the corrective lenses fell out of
goggles twice. Need to have them put in with "strong" force. Anyone have a simple way to make sure they stay in, but allow them to come out when other people use the
goggles?
SECOND: big problem with thickness of corrective lenses. My far glasses bang into the corrective lens frame and make the glasses hurt my nose and forehead. It was not acceptable because I was running the risk of scratching the AR coatings from my far glasses. I have several different pairs of glasses in different frames. They all hit the corrective lens frame.
So I made two modifications:
mod A: I put medium stiff neoprene foam pad into the DJI thin frame that goes around the face mount area. This was done to not allow the DJI rubber to collapse so easy when glasses were pulled into the system. This gives me about 2-3 mm of standoff distance for my glasses. I used 1/8 inch foam about 1/2 inch wide and just shaped it around the reverse curl frame.
modB: I took the same 1/8" neopreme foam and put two large pads together. A pad covers the whole viewing area of the
goggles. By folding the pad in half, you just take a scissors and cut out the center region to give you a good view. I also had to make a small 1/2 inch "nick" into each side of pad so that my glass frames could easily go through the pad. I think my pictures show all the tricks needed to construct it. I then just put this foam frame on my face over my glasses. Then the googles go on my head, and pull down over my eyes. They fit perfectly and match the FOV of the
goggles. They stay on my face (and glasses) when I lift up the
goggles....they are not a problem to keep in place. The section of foam surround that goes over my nose goes above my nose so I have no breathing problems. I tried to use Elmer's Rubber Cement to hold the neoprene foam to DJI's frame.....does not work at all. Maybe someone else can find a way to "cement" the neoprene pad to the DJI soft rubber frame. But for now, there is no hassle so I am just living with what I have.
I also show you a picture of the pelican-style case I bought off Amazon for the Mavic Pro, and also the hard case that is available for the
goggles. Both are like $25 apiece. This gives me a simple two-handed carrying solution to bring all my materials to the field. I have a 32" take off pad that fits in a nylon zip case that attaches to the latch on the pelican-style case.
My
goggle case also holds all the straps and chest mount that I have put in another thread to take the weight off my neck for the forward weight of the
goggles. ENJOY.
QUESTION: I have a hard time seeing the top line of the
goggles. I just cannot bend the
goggle head mount enough to make the top area come easily into the FOV without the
goggles falling off my head. Anyone found a "fix" for this problem? I really want to know how much AE battery I have left.
