The Crystal has been fantastic - amazing upgrade from the G2

[VRFlightSimGuy]

Great review, I'll share this with my Discord community. Cheers

I got crystal too. This sh*t is amazing, thought the horizontal FOV could be a little bit bigger, overall I agree with you that the picture is the best I've ever seen.

[clayton]

That was really amazing to see through the lens at 9:28 wow that looks amazing, I have a Reverb G2 currently.

I just got the Pimax 5K XR a month ir so ago. Loving flying in VR. Darkwood got me going on VR by sending me a Rift to try out, only took a week or two before I tracked down this Pimax I have for $200 and it was brand new. 😊

Top notch video, Buddy. I got a notification from Pimax yesterday that my Crystal is ready for shipment, so I'm expecting to have it shortly. I come from MSFS and have used the G2 since launch, and I have been really happy with it. But I do understand that this will truly be a next level experience, hence why I bought the headset, and I just can't wait to try it for myself.
I have subbed to your channel for more content on the Crystal. Much love from Norway.

I'm happy to see more and more positive reviews on the crystal after all the hate it got on launch. One note btw, the pico 4 doesn't have aspherical lenses, that's the crystal. Pico 4 has pancake lenses.

I guess I'm spoiled since I got the pimax 8k when I decided to get into flight simming and vr ( built my first computer around that plan), even closing in on 2 years later my only major complaints are 1) when I have other people over they're used to other vr sets with elastic head straps and I worry about the ratchet because they just pull without thinking, it's slipped few times, but it's still holding solid. Complaint 2) that my rig is already in a perpetually hot room, and it generates a bunch of heat, mid summer I'm glad I have an extra face foam for sweat problems.
All my other complaints are based on steamvr not the pimax unit and I don't think can be held against pimax fairly

I've just upgraded my entire system to one that will hopefully now allow me to maximise my DCS/ G2 experience. So getting one of these might be off the table for a while. But it does look really good.

Headset looks like VR from the 80s, but the quality is undeniable! Looks damn close to flatscreen 4k quality. And while it'll be outdated/outpriced in just a couple of years, 1500 isn't that bad for the hardcore crowd and early adapters.

[MattWagner]

Good stuff, tempted to pick one of these up.

[saintuk]

Och, nice one - been interested in the crystal

[claybomb]

Awesome! Hopefully my crystal will be shipped soon! 👍

[flmotorsports]

Great video... great review. I am still waiting for my notification that the headset is ready to ship, but I am getting more and more excited by what I am seeing.

[onepunchndown]

Thanks Skil! Good review, I hope someday I'll be able to try one out. I don't want it to ruin my reverb though hahaha

[Andysalive]

i find the HP reverb has amazing resolution but these very obnoxious light rings in the lenses. Still waiting for a one does all ok VR headset.That doesn't cost almost as much as my pc :) Or, if it does is absolutely perfect....
Also talking of perfect, a sharp image with a high resolution is obviously good. But to power that, in a hardware heavy game as DCS, with the FPS needed for VR, you need a serious machine. So it would be interesting, how it looks scaled down to half resolution or so.

[mrphu.]

I can't even imagine the feeling then of moving from the Index to Crystal >< .. Might hold off a bit to see what Valve offers next before deciding.. too late now for HP reverb G2 with all the good stuff out there and upcoming

[notmeeeeee]

With PC specs like that you should really try XrNeckSafer with smooth autorotation on. its really does help with looking behind you.

[albird]

Nice job Skill. Looks great if I can get a PC build now to run VR🙃
