Status: offline 		Has anyone tried the Innovatek v-190 glasses I see on e-bay? I am looking for an inexpensive wearable display to try to RPV my aerobird with a video downlink. I know the pixel count is low, but I am just looking for something better than my 3" camcorder screen (hard to see outside). Another option is the higher resolution i-glasses from the same company.

Status: offline 		I just purchased the Innovatec I-Glasses on ebay for $249. I'll give a report on them in this forum soon. I chose them because I wear glasses and these I-Glasses will work over them. They fit on your head, not your face. They can be tilted up and out of the way so you could see your plane and look at the 2 eyepieces. Check the specs below.

I fly over in North Hampton, just off of Atlantic Ave. The field is behind Joe's Meat Market, down the railroad tracks. I'm currently flying a Senior Telemaster with a .91 Saito. Well, at least I will when the weather warms up!

I figured out where you live. I go right by there on the way into town for a beer at the Brewery. The water tower in your loops video gave it away!

Status: offline 		Good eye! It's one of the few open fields around town these days! I have many good shots of the tower. My house is midway between spinny road and middle road (my back yard is on the field). I hope to have some better video up shortly. I am waiting for one more part to get delivered to put the new video system on the Aerobird (switched regulator to get 5v from my 7 cell flight pack). I figure with the new system I should be able to remote pilot the plane from my living room (outside antenna/rx with a feed to my TV).

Status: offline 		Sorry I can give you any feedback as I only did a search for you looking for a good rate of this product. I´m a Olympus eyetrek user and was comfortable enough with them not to spend more money in another VR glasses

Status: offline 		Steve,

I got the Innovatec I- glasses. I like 'em. They are about what I expected as far as quality and ease of use. They are comfortable for a glasses wearer like me. They cover your eyes well yet can be moved away slightly to enable one to see the camera shot and keep an eye on the airplane too.
I'm using these glasses to frame my pictures before shooting. It really helps. I also want to go to a really large field and try flying while only looking thru the I glasses. It might be easier to fly this way with a wide angle lense on the camera for some peripheral view.
They come with lith ion battery and charger. Battery fits on belt. I have a hat with patch antenna and BW receiver. The 12 volt rx battery is in a back pack. The I-glasses go on first and hook right into the system with supplied wiring.
Reception is great with the hat rx and with the I-glasses I still feel pretty free to fly my airplane with no distraction.
You have to keep tailoring the system untill it is simple and comfortable to assemble, wear and operate.
Willie

Status: offline 		William, thanks for the info.
If I might ask, do you have a camcorder you could compare the viewfinder quality with for us?
If you do, what brand and model is the camcorder and how do they compare?

I've been looking at the ones you bought and the EyeTops. I like the idea of the EyeTop best but did some checking and noticed it has only 76,800 pixels.
My Sony TRV27 viewfinder has 112,000 pixels and the INNOVATEK V-490 i-Glasses have (230,400 1 lcd, 2 viewfinders?), so I’m thinking they should look better for resolution and dot size.
Thanks!
