How tough are these I snowboard but don’t fall to often but when I do I fall hard
Great. Now I can get disturbed by an SMS while I’m going down a mountain on snowboard. I hope that insurance is included in the box, right?
When is the tonights VergeCast going to be uploaded?
I think it needs a laser range finder on it so you can gauge distances. That would be neat/useful.
Press “like” if you found this in Gameinformer
this is pretty neat. i wish they make one for motorcycle helmets, maybe show rpm and fuel? when someone makes it, i’ll be all over it
The Recon MOD Live unit is pretty tough. You can switch it into other recon ready goggle brands though, if the goggles you bought can’t take the massive impact of your bails. And @thetuckervideos, after having ridden with a set of the zeal recon goggles from last year, I can tell you that I wasn’t distracted by the screen, it’s more like a car dashboard, in the sense that you look at it when you want, but you won’t be staring at it all the time.
I really want to buy one of these it sounds so worth it for sledding but with all the searching i do, i can’t find anyones honest opinion on the quality of the visuals, does it really look like a large screen out in front of you??? Is it easy to just glance down at your speed and not loose focus on your ride. Did the info seem accurate. They say you can get a wireless cam soon.…but when??? and this buddy app whens that come out. It all seems so vague considering its been out for so long.
Are theese goggles only for use with Android? Or can I use any bluetooth mobile phone, like my iPhone?
what does the scouter say about his power level?!?
How works the buddy tracking? When it is by bluetooth the range would be very small, isn’t it?
@shikidaman IT’S OVER 9000 !!!!!!!
@umocwazy1 From what I have heard from other videos it does not put the screen out infront of you, and I Can’t find one single video showing it in action from their perspective.
so does it allow you to have an actual overlay of your GPS tracks or is that only available after you offload the data onto your computer?
make one for DH MTB
so basically.. u can watch porn while driving? AWESOME
And it looks sooo cool on his little baby head 😉
This can bring a whole new level to my longboarding and riding with the team. All 27 of us can buy it as long as it is comfortable and won’t distract too much of our vision, it isn’t exactly a quick stop on a board if a car is in the way and it takes quite a bit of attention to slide corners.
I WANT THIS FOR MY GSX‑R!
Now what i would like to see is: how the fucking thing looks like from the inside, when you put it on! So i can image what it would be like wearing it. I can fucking read the other info from the site, so your video is really amaaaaazingly useless.
Look! if you search youtube for this:
POV of Stefan Häusl and his Recon Instruments MOD Live at FWT 2012 Fieberbrunn
You will find a video about a bajillion times more informative then this video. Please learn from this when you try to make informative videos next time.
9000? That can’t be right!
can you use this for mtb?
I was expecting a holographic display for that kind of money! Tis sh!t…
does it flex? the viewfinder part. im planning to see if they can custom fit other brands of goggles..
Piece of crap!! I own one.
