frogger Posted May 20, 2018 Posted May 20, 2018 ok i was a big supporter of the pimax for what it offered at a budget but today im finally going to say , dont buy pimax. ive had so many issues with the build quality over the last few months that have made it some frustrating to use from dust getting on the screen and the face pad falling off to the head straps coming loose. but tonight when i went to put the headset on i thought the strap had come loose again untill i looked at it. cheap Chinese junk. time to start looking at something else i think.

dogbite Posted June 1, 2018 Posted June 1, 2018 (edited) I wonder if Pimax will share the feedback from those 10 individuals. They have indicated the testers would be allowed to report their findings publicly after they have all filed their reports to Pimax. Many if not all apparently have VR channels (they call them influencers)and will supposedly be doing video reviews after that point. Should know very soon. Pimax seems confident in M1 which is supported by the fact they are sending 10 units out for independent scrutiny. One know tester Sweviver has said he is looking forward to running DCS up the flagpole. We should hear more in a couple of weeks. So close now. The intent is still to start backer shipment this month.

Thick8 Posted June 4, 2018 Posted June 4, 2018 I had a horrible experience with the 4K so I didn’t go anywhere near the kick starter. I’m still very sceptical about Pimax bringing a quality product to market. I am looking forward to seeing those reviews.

I’m still very sceptical about Pimax bringing a quality product to market. I am looking forward to seeing those reviews. Yeah, me too. I was a little reluctant, but the constant updates eased my concerns a bit. I have the KS with base stations included, so I'll wait patiently for my unit to ship. I figured (always have) that it will be around Aug time frame. Always thought the timeline Pimax was shooting for was outside the realm of reality. :) hsb HW Spec in Spoiler --- i7-10700K Direct-To-Die/OC'ed to 5.1GHz, MSI Z490 MB, 32GB DDR4 3200MHz, EVGA 2080 Ti FTW3, NVMe+SSD, Win 10 x64 Pro, MFG, Warthog, TM MFDs, Komodo Huey set, Rverbe G1

dogbite Posted June 5, 2018 Posted June 5, 2018 I was going to wait but i saw a used one on Fleabay for $60 so i grabbed it ...... Great price. I figure with the Valve 2.0 base stations shipping with the Vive Pro now, I should be fine. I really would be surprised to see my Pimax before Sept/Oct. That's ok though, because I still enjoy my Rift and about 6000 people are going to debug the heck out of the Pimax before I get mine.

nicka117 Posted June 6, 2018 Posted June 6, 2018 Shouldn't we be seeing reviews of the M1 by now? The people they sent them too should have had them for at least a few days.
dogbite Posted June 7, 2018 Posted June 7, 2018 (edited) I think they all have to finish a Pimax checklist and questions from them and then they can do Q/A in the forum and release videos. They also said they would release the names of the testers when everybody confirmed they had received them and they haven't done that yet.

Torso Posted June 8, 2018 Posted June 8, 2018 Shouldn't we be seeing reviews of the M1 by now? The people they sent them too should have had them for at least a few days. No we shouldn't. The testers have not all received them yet(only one tester has confirmed they received theirs and that was just today). And even so, they are bound by an NDA that will prevent them from sharing reviews right away. So, we got another couple weeks before we start seeing M1 reviews.

And even so, they are bound by an NDA that will prevent them from sharing reviews right away. So, we got another couple weeks before we start seeing M1 reviews. I think that depends on results of the testing as well. Even I got the impression that all these 10 testers are more public relations and promotion than a real testing product. Something similar Belsimtek done with Hornet. Ther was a flood of Hornet videos before release day from the community. I think this is the real purpose of this testing, a promotion. We will see soon a lot of videos and true lenses comparison to make a judgment. I+m only afraid that we who want it for DCS will need to wait for a proper review for our specific needs. We still don't know do we have proper DCS tester among this 10 for proper evaluation.

hansangb Posted June 9, 2018 Posted June 9, 2018 I skipped through it, but I'm guessing it's a "I can't talk about it yet" video?

dogbite Posted June 9, 2018 Posted June 9, 2018 Interesting 2nd video from Sebastion These guys are bursting at the seams to talk about this.

wormeaten Posted June 9, 2018 Posted June 9, 2018 Sweviver plays DCS and has said he will test it. With all respect to Sweviver work about VR, in DCS he is a noob and that is what I meant when I say there is no competent DCS tester for Pimax8K. No hard feelings Sweviver, but I think himself is aware of it. In his video from DCS playing I notice he didn't properly set up graphic details for best performance vs details ratio so that is already huge minus in start. Only what I really expect from him to give us feedback on some other games he is more familiar and comparison true lens. For everything else, we have to use our imagination and some personal experience for "possible" DCS prediction.
