Does Crystal Light need base stations?

[Peedee]

I probably should have googled this myself. Actually I did, but it just made me more confused. My search gave me a link to Pimax:

https://pimax.com/pages/pimax-crystal-light-setup-quick-guide

And under point 5 it says:

5. Connect my Pimax Device

The default page is shown below.

Click on the guidance and follow the instructions until the connection is complete.

If you don’t have the base station select the 9-axis sensor in tracking mode, which can be used to watch movies or experience racing, flight simulation, and other games.

Please note: if you are mainly into Sims then you can use 3DoF mode. However many simmers will recommend having at least 1 Lighthouse due to the ability of lean. Without a lighthouse you cannot lean forward, backwards or left and right.

This last part confuses me, to me it seems that it is possible to not use a Lighthouse, but it is recommended to have at least one. So, I certainly need to lean when simming! - so if I order a Crystal Light I need a lighthouse to get the full funcionality?

Hello,

The Crystal Light has built-in inside-out tracking powered by its four front-facing cameras. This means you don’t need additional base stations for tracking.

However, if you already own base stations and want to use them with the Crystal Light, you’ll need to purchase the Lighthouse faceplate to ensure compatibility.

I'll also ask the team to revise the Quick Setup Guide as it seems to have incorrect information. The text you copied is for an earlier model (P2 version).

Thanks Calvin.
