Lasic monovision and FPV goggles?

[mtnmanfpv]

I'm wondering if anyone using FPV goggles has had any issues because of monovision created by Lasic eye surgery. Hate to buy something like FatShark and not be able to see well. Perhaps a 7" LCD display mounted to tx would be preferable? Any thoughts?

Do you have any organized races in your area? I'm sure someone would be happy to let you try theirs. If it's for a larger quad, it just seems that a video screen would be better IMO.

Had lasic 15 or so years ago and on the verge of needing reading glasses now. I have quantum V2 goggles and have no issues.

But did you go with 'monovision'? That's where one eye is tuned for far and one for close. They have contacts like that also.

No and I dont think they even had that when I did it. I just read "lasic" and posted. Thanks for pointing out that my input was worthless. Ha ha!

Fatsharks are true goggles like binoculars, so can't a person focus each eye?

Just getting into the sport and have no local contacts, yet. Great idea though, I'll be researching that possibility. I am leaning towards a video screen for convenience, yet I like the idea of almost total immersion with goggles. Heck, I might have to try both. Thanks for the feedback.

I hear ya. I already use reading glasses. I know the fatshark has what they call "diopter" lens inserts that allow some limited correction for individual eyes. I'm anxious to compare that to the Quanum style of goggle that apparently holds a smaller, single video screen a few inches in front of your eyes. Curious about something else Altsickness, do your Quanum goggles have the capability to record your flight on a mini sd card? Or do have to record your videos at the cam or tx? I remember seeing at least one unit that had a mini sd card slot right in the top of the goggles. Thanks for the reply, I'll be fishing for more info. frequently, I'm sure.

Not worthless. All information has value, sometimes you just have to know HOW to use it. My left eye is tuned for reading and close work, while my right eye is 20-20 for distance, and it's great!

The 5.8ghz fpv flying is great but it still picks up static and interference. I record with a runcam because video is awesome and clear and my fpv video is seperate. So two camera systems doing two different things. The fpv system is faster with low latency. With that said there are several options to record your actual fpv. Heres an example of a reciever with dvr: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/...eo_Receiver_with_Built_in_Video_Recorder.html

stand alone dvr that rides on your quad and records.

And there are all in one cameras too.

The Quantum v2 comes with 3 correction lenses and they can be adjusted forward and back for focus. Ive also seen video of guys extending the screen farther away and modifying the slides to move the lense closer. With that said and your difference from one eye to the other, id research the fatsharks or other single eye adjustment goggles, because the adjustments on the v2 are basically the same for both eyes. You might be able to get an adjustment that is a compromise for both eyes but again single eye adjustment is where Id look first if I were you.

Interesting point, something to consider, and it's obvious there's a lot more research to be done.

I have monovision via Contact Lenses...Did anyone find out about this and FPV?

I have monovision via Contact Lenses

So you are basically using one eye or the other, right? Cover the one that's unneeded. Aye Matey.

ha!!! crazy me I didn't think of that.
