The best thing about the Crystal Light is that it is only 5 calories per flight!

You can always get a counterweight that goes on the back of the head strap. I got one for my Reverb G2 and a comfort head strap and it went from being mildly uncomfortable to wear to nearly unnoticeable.

@OffiYT Ай бұрын

Sold my G2 a while ago and kept the counterweight, not sure if it will fit the Crystal Light, but it was a gamechanger indeed.

Great first impressions buddy. Best wishes.

I’ve got the Pimax Crystal for just about a year now. It is rather heavy, especially if you’re older and have some neck issues. However, I do like some of the features that the light does not offer. But if I was purchasing it today, I would probably go for the light.

great video, thanks for the review. How is the edge-to-edge clarity?

considering I still have the oculus rift.. I think when I upgrade it is gonna be a huge change :)

Dude, you can keep the nice talking and successfully landing at the same time, you're pretty impressive lol!😄

@CRAZYHORSE19682003 Ай бұрын

So my question is, how is the FPS? I am still trying to figure out VR and it is my belief that the higher the resolution of the headset the more it impacts the performance of games like MSFS. I am not sure what you are seeing in the headset but in the video the FPS looks very suspect.

Look forward to using my psvr2 later this year when the connection kit is released for pc

Thank you for the nice review. Hoping to be able to convince my wife to let me purchase the Chrystal Light, but no luck so far. In the meantime, I would like to know how many of you out there have received your new headset and are using it with a laptop ? I just purchased an Alienware M 18 r2, 32 gigs of ram, 14900 hx, and 4080. Have any of you experienced any connection issues when using the Light with your laptops ? From the reviews that I have seen so far, my guess is that I would need a display port to mini display port adapter. Any suggestions on which one to get ? Any advice that any of you have, would be greatly appreciated. HL

3900xt? wow, I went from a 5900x to a 7800X3D and what a difference with a 4090, a CPU upgrade will really help your VR experience, if you want to go on the cheap, 5800X3D should work on your current motherboard with bios update. If you want to go balls to the wall, 7800X3D, Aorus X670 Elite AX motherboard (less expensive but a great board), and 32 or 64 gigs of DDR5 - 6000 at cl-30. Try and stay with 6000 with AM5, some boards may not like higher rated ram and can cause stability issues until you turn it down to 6000 or thereabout. I get really good frame rates in MSFS using OpenXR with my G2v2 (resolution of 3160 x 3092). Crystal light on order, expecting it mid to late August, the wait is killing me! LOL

@PaulMcDonagh-rv6vc Ай бұрын

You seem a really good guy, and i appreciate your review, but I will say, from one mans perspective: 1. 4 mins in, and you've told us nothing we didn't already know. 2. What about smoothness? Stutters? 3. What about the hz modes? 60,72,90,120? 4. OpenXR settings? 5. Colours? 6. FPS in regards to your card and cpu? 7. MSFS settings? All the above is essential information for anyone across the board, taking into consideration the vast PC specs. Just an opinion. Thanks.

@metalceesie219 Ай бұрын

i returned my crystal because off the geometry warping at the left and right sight,it too me out off immersion.I heard this pimax light version has it too?

@seattime4075 Ай бұрын

Since laying out my cockpit peripherals to work easily with mixed reality on my Q3, I cannot go back to normal VR. The visuals of the Pimax light sound great, but now only interested in a future upgrading to a better mixed reality headset.

@OzzySafa Ай бұрын

Are you using Microsoft store version of the sim or steam version. Also was steam vr running ?

@Kebushay Ай бұрын

What resolution are you running and how many frames do you get?

@MikeInExile Ай бұрын

9:30 I'm guessing the $4000 headset you can't think of at the moment is the Varjo?

@xraycharli Ай бұрын

I have the Crystal Light as well but not OpenVR Tool kit in use. Much more smother without the OpenVR. My specs RTX4090 and AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D. I really love it. A bit tweaking it goes like crazy cool. 60FPS super clear over New York.

The video doesn’t look too smooth, I get better video using a quest 2. Is this because the pimax crystal light needs a powerful computer to make smooth video possible? Another I noticed is the scenery is not very heavy on the system and the aircraft is ga. Is it possible to see a review using a Payware aircraft airliner like the Fenix A320 or an aircraft that’s comparable?

@gilchecksix Ай бұрын

I do not use Steam VR. I found it less stable that using on my OpenXR. Try MSFS with AutoFPS ☺️ Crystal Light is a fantastic experience. The best I had in VR.

@gizmo104drives7 Ай бұрын

Hold up..hold up.. you say it doesnt come with an audio source... doesnt it come with piped audio fron the strap.. the dmas speakers sold seperately on light and normal crystal. Or are you reffering to an audio jack that you can connect other headphones to??

@infinitelooptv9939 Ай бұрын

This new Crystal Light, is basically the Crystal minus stuff. I mean, displays and lenses are the same. What we really want to see, is a review of the NEW Crystal, with new displays, aka, no dimming zones. please.

@erwumme5732 Ай бұрын

Nice Video as ever.. I have the Pimax sinc one year. The visual is great but the comfort not!! It is too heavy. Thelight version ?? only 250 g lighter.. therefore i use my Pico 4 more often..😅

@gizmo104drives7 Ай бұрын

Ok i been subbed to you for a while now but it time to leave.. u admit your a pimax fanboy and thats fine... however its very apparent you cant put your bias aside and give and objective review. Its to much now.. you listed 0 negatives of this headset. No chromatic abberation. No distortion. No quality issues. Cheep feeling in fact. The fact that it absolutely unnecessarily massive. You even recommended the standalone crystal for standing vr titles... no mention of the meta quest 3 as a suitable alternative.. couldnt even bring yourself to mention them... This is very clearly an advert for pimax that your presenting

@richardnoall3758 Ай бұрын

From what I read, the QA is lacking and it's a lottery if you get a 100% working headset.

@gizmo104drives7 Ай бұрын

Hold up.. you believe eye tracking may be possible to add later on.?? Can you elaborate?

@tdhitchins Ай бұрын

That got my attention. I didn’t believe this was the case

@EpicNinjaRides Ай бұрын

It’s not an option, at least not from Pimax.

@themorethemerrier281 Ай бұрын

I soooo hope that the main thread will be a little less of an issue with Msfs2024 - but I am skeptical....

@gaminginstilllife9429 Ай бұрын

Worth every penny the only thing I did not like about my Crystal Light is the face foam is like a sweat sponge and there's a lot of side to side movement also I didn't think the controllers track very good for shooting games

I always check if there’s a sales link in the description. If there is one, I don’t even bother watching. YT is turning into a shopping mall.

@erwumme5732 Ай бұрын

Comfort is great??? I DO NOT BELEAVE. The light version weights nearly 1 kilogram.. not much better than my crystal.. the visual is and greater FOV is fantastisch and better as my Pico 4..

@erwumme5732 Ай бұрын

And Do not forget.. you need a 2500 € Rig to run it smoothly.. but that is a must have for every flightsimner 😂😂😂😂
