Hi Guys.
I remember someone asking what thay can use for better cushioning on ther sharks, well after buying some for my self, I found that the screens are to close for me to focus properly, so I cut some strips of theory soft plastazote foam, this is about 3 times thicker than the originals, i works brilliantly, ther reel comfy and much clearer view.
regards G :)

Can you still see the corners of the screens?
EasyStar, Skywalker V2, X8, Zephyr II, FPVraptor, Spidex, ZMR250, DG300. Eagle Tree stuff.

Cheers G!

I found something similar down pastys workshop and immediately stole it. Nice one pasty!

I've done the mod and it seems a lot better, going to try it out soon!

Nice one Gary
I do fined it helps with the focus, its surprising haw they over looked this, in the designing proses, I have herd that a lot of people fined it hard to focus so close.
did you leave pasty any material. lol

Yeah, my eye could actually touch the lens! That was quite disconcerting!

I left pasty with plently, he had a few strips of it lying around.

I really need to open mine up. The right eye wont adjust enough to get the vision strait.

I don't have that problem with only the one eye. ;D
