Just wanted to share this review on here with my fellow flyers.
I was given a sample of Freefly's new VR headset for smartphone while chatting to the Freefly guys at the UK Drone Show recently. I was really impressed with it.
I must admit I kinda dismissed VR headsets for phones in general just because 360 video isn't 'quite' at a production level I'd use yet and the best camera out there so far is (mostly) restricted to S6/S7 samsung phones (iphone man here).
So I had fun playing with silly apps, videos and that was all good but then I remembered Litchi had VR mode and this thing really became useful!
Ironically I was recently thinking of getting some Fatshark Dom's and the HD module purely for days where it is just a bit too bright even for using a sun hood but I actually think this thing will save me all that cost. Probably not as good as proper HD Doms of course but £50 compared to their cost is big difference for something I'd not always use.
I have suggested to the guys at Freefly that they get in touch with the likes of the Litchi dev team as I think the 'crossfire' triggers on the Beyonds could be useful in flight. Only negative with flying this way is the lack of access to the settings without opening the device up of course.
Anyway video is here it is for those interested:
