Yeah, free shipping... I have seen other that did the same and had no charge...

So, after looking at the tracking for my parcel.... it's been stuck in holding for 4 days now!
I called UPS and they are waiting for clearance from me! How am I supposed to know that!?
So, now I'm waiting for an email to tell them it's for me and they can send it!!!! FFS!

What's a BETA tester? Lol.. No, I'm just a customer...

The goggles are here! They are VERY nice but a little tight on the bridge of my nose...
I might have to figure that out...???

KillerDave

Ok, So I have two issues with these goggles...
1, Is the tightness on the bridge of my nose.
I think if I increase the thickness of the foam should help.
2, is the un-focused edges...
I don't know how to fix this yet??? I did try the diopters but this didn't seem to change much...

I've not had a flight yet but I can't wait! :-)

I've got the Dom HD 2's. I find the fit to be a bit finicky. I use mine with a matrice 100. Rather than have the headstrap horizontal around the head I position there headstrap at sort of 20% up from horizonal. The slightly blurred edges don't bother me that much when flying as I'm concentrating on the centre. But strap placement helps, have a play also with strap tightness

Seconded I find it clears up if the strap is higher than the eye level f the goggles. That blurred around the edges view must be what it is like for a girl with tight pigtails!

Something must be wrong for the amount of money you have been stung for. Did they itemise it?

Lol... They're blurry on one side or the other.. depending on how I set the IPD...???
I tried the -2 diopters and they just made the whole thing bigger...

I did ask them to brake it down for me...
£38.98 Import Duty,
£65.32 VAT and,
£11 Handling fee...
How do they charge a handling fee if the seller has paid the shipping and it was the same company moving the box around??? ffs!

stevec

I have had that but I managed to adjust the ipd to suit my face. I just played with the distances on each eye until it worked. It is still a bit hazy around the edges I suppose but because the fov is so big I don't notice it unless I look.
Don't get me started on their handling fees😬 you just got unlucky loads of people got them through with nothing...

Yup and yup....

It does seem the edges can be fixed with better diopters...

It seems that FS could be doing better with their optics??? I have seem reports that this is a common problem...
What do you guys think???

SnoozeDoggyDog

I think you are correct...
As I will be mostly looking at the center of the screen, it'll probably not bother me much...
It's just when I want to look at my OSD info some of it will be harder to see....

.

The fee is for organising the customs clearance and collection of duty on behalf of HMRC. UPS charge £11, DHL £10, Parcel Farce £15 etc etc. I was just charged VAT and Duty on the goods plus the original shipping fee. I challenged including the shipping fee and got that refunded. We all need to be careful and check the prices now the $,€,£ rates are so bad. Sometimes UK suppliers are as cheap

There is a post on here somewhere of a supplier who will make a custom set of diopters to your individual prescription that for the gogs exactly. I will post if I can find it.

EDIT

Here it is
