VUF-110 Wearable Display

I've got decades of experience with VR, drones, and various head-mounted displays and the Vufine+ is a superb low-cost option for a monocular display that allows you to still maintain LOS to your drone -- an FAA requirement that's frequently broken by scofflaws. But it's such a nice and comfortable HMD that I want to use it for so much more. I saw another reviewer claiming it's wonderful as a camera monitor and were they ever right! My Sony alpha cameras all worked flawlessly (after setting them to 'auto' resolution on the HDMI output) and it makes getting those crazy low angle kitten photos so much easier -- especially now that I'm older and can't get physically low as easily anymore. It's even better than that; I want to wear it all the time so I can watch TV while I do the chores! I don't care if I look like a Borg reject -- if it means I can do the dishes and vacuum the house while I'm watching my soaps! I will mention that the mount the Vufine+ comes with worked quite nicely for my test run, and I left it on my glasses (which are prescription frames that just happen to be identical to the ones in the box) -- then about an hour later, the rubber that holds the mount broke, spontaneously -- not even being touched, or worn, or looked at! So I sent a quick e-mail to the address on the Vufine website. I told them the mount broke almost immediately, and could I get a replacement and also maybe buy a spare or two in case the replacement also turns out to be super fragile. They wrote me back in *minutes* saying it was no problem, they'd already shipped out a replacement and a spare, gratis, and included a tracking number. Very professional! Other than the mount breaking, I don't have any real complaints. There's plenty of things that could be a little nicer, but it's an all-around good design and the low ($200 at the time of writing) price elevates it to great. I'm even tempted to buy a second one just so I'll have a spare if they someday stop being produced or go out of business. It's that good! One last thing that's not really spelled out anywhere that I could find - although it claims there is a 90-minute battery life, it works just fine plugged in so if you don't mind another cable there's no reason you can't wear it all day and watch your soaps too.

1. This doesn't fit any glasses and just slips all over because of the huge cables necessary to use the device. The screen is so small that you cannot fit a regular monitor size image. It doesn't work with Samsung. The view is so tiny that Samsung will not use it. You can never actually position the screen to be able to see it. The base that holds the screen to glasses was not build or designed for this optic. The movement does not correlate to the glasses. So when you move the brace it does not move in ways that help you view it just moves around in strange ways not related to the glasses. I would fire everyone involved in this project as it is a horrible failure.

On it's own it's an alright display, it tends to have really tiny text that may make using it normally for long periods a bit of a pain if your vision is not the greatest. I solved this by using the magnifier to make the screen 200% zoomed in, it's a little bit of a pain to have to move around the screen in little subsections, but you can then clearly read all the text and work all the controls. I'm using this with a mini pc stick (Recommend getting the 8gb ram fanless one as then you can stick it in a waterproof bag but still leave it running) to make a super lightweight computer for backpacking that runs entirely off solar power. This monitor works very will with that because it has enormously less power draw than other solutions and is super lightweight. You can also easily slip it into a plastic bag to make it rainproof. For regular life I find it just a tad frustrating to use for a couple of reasons. For one, it only comes in a right eye version, and I prefer it on my left eye, so after you adjust the windows 10 settings to invert the screen, the cords now poke upwards instead of hanging down neatly. The internal battery life is quite short, about an hour or so for me, so you will want to keep it plugged into power while using it. I use an external battery bank stuffed in a pocket for this. Despite it's limitations, it is an excellent piece of gear for adapting to the new work from anywhere world. Highly recommend for it's special camping and outdoors usage, not a terribly pleasant experience for a casual office user.

Se adapta a su descripción funciona de maravilla. el montaje se puede mejorar. No se desanimen por los malos reviews funciona bien para ver videos no lo recomiendo para series subtituladas

Il prodotto è davvero molto bello, ottimamente costruito, la visione connesso con un iPhone è davvero perfetta, è necessario l’adattatore lightning a hdmi, la dotazione è buona e si riesce ad adattare a diverse montature di occhiali. Il rapporto prezzo qualità è davvero ottimo.

Ich bin mit dem Artikel sehr zufrieden. Die variable einstellbare Halterung für die Brille ist allerdings sehr wackelig und man muss schon ein wenig basteln bis alle perfekt sitzt. Trotzdem 5 Sterne

The mount sucks, and jiggles around too easy. The cables can be cumbersome, the button on the end is not intuitive, it won't remember settings, and even when positioned properly, theres corners of the screen you wont be able to focus on. However, the screen is very nice, its bright, its crisp, the unit itself is light and small, and very inexpensive for what it is. For the money you save on buying this unit over a more expensive one, you can 3d print a proper mount, and pick up some slim cables, and you've got a great setup. Theres better out there, but not for this price.

me being me, i had to take it apart to see if i could adjust it to fit my stylistic preferences better. naturally, the casing is now ruined. completely on me. other commenters are completely right when it comes to the magnetic joint to hold it to your glasses. it came with two: the first joint was really strong, but had no versatility, and the second one used a base plate to link the magnet, but the base plate was really weak, and the arm it was connected to wasn't nearly strong enough to keep it in place. i'd give it a 97/100. picture quality is incredible if you click through the resolution settings, but i wasn't able to get it at my preferred resolution and also keep it in place, which was more an issue of the arm than the device itself. i tried experimenting with removing the shell because it was way too thick and heavy to hang off my glasses, but nothing would come close to looking as good without also being really bulky. if i could have gotten the screen to the other side of my lenses (closer to my eye than my glasses are), the resolution would have been perfect, but alas such is life. once i had taken the casing apart, the device miraculously still worked, which is actually very rare for me, so i can personally attest that if it can survive me, it can survive proper, regular use. still, i'd recommend getting a rare earth magnet or two to fully affix it. doing it this way would work best for magnetic-frame glasses, as long as they aren't thin, like granny glasses are. if i could change anything about them... i'd not damage the casing -_-'
