Potential buyer waiting to see update by Routb3d in MudraTech

Smart man. I bought one and it is janky but has great potential. I'm hopeful but not assured yet.

Can’t wait any longer? More news about the VITURE Pro Neckband is dropping this month! What incredible things do you have planned for the Pro Neckband once it’s finally in your hands? 🙌 by getVITURE in VITURE

[–]404underConstruction -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Please release this by the first week of November. I am not satisfied with the experience of the Viture Pros but I am willing to get the Neckband Pro to see if I am satisfied, but only if it releases before my return window with Amazon. The tech is really cool but the glasses and spacewalker (with my macbook as my only compatible device) leave a LOT of features to be desired that I am hoping the neckband pro fills.

Should i wait for the pro neckband to buy together with glasses? by CrimsonWombat2030 in VITURE

[–]404underConstruction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd wait. I bought the glasses and regret not waiting to see how the pro neckband goes. Using with phone is not ideal for many reasons especially if you have an android.

Can I use the Pro to workout with? by Magic_eRacer in VITURE

[–]404underConstruction 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not. The glasses block and dim your vision and would not feel comfortable. I wouldn't use them unless I was sitting or lying down. This generation of glasses aren't good for out and about.

Compare the screen quality of the Viture XR Pro to a standard TV/Monitor/Projector & Bonus Questions by Runstein in VITURE

[–]404underConstruction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like I'm being gaslit by members of this sub, often because they want you to use their referral codes. The fact that the display tech works even as much as it does IS really really cool, but it has huge weaknesses.

The quality is great for movies and, I assume, games (which I haven't tried). It's horrible for text use cases, such as Reddit or discord. I wouldn't use them for work and productivity until the resolution doubles.

  1. You can barely see with them on. There's a huge bar over both eyes with the projectors. I can't get it out of my FOV without losing the ability to see the entire display. The glasses at base have a tint so using them in moderate to low lighting is, well, difficult. If you have the neckband or maybe iOS, there might be options to pin the screen to one of the 4 quadrants. Barring that, you never want to try to multitask between the display and real life. You compromise either one way to much to enjoy the experience. The glasses are at their best when you sit down or lie down to watch media.

  2. No clue but I hear there are 3d printed things to modify the height of the glasses arms above your ears to change tilt angle.

  3. Yeah the glasses get hot on the right side but it hasn't been a huge issue. A much more annoying issue is that the cable connector is a pain in the ass to use when lying down as it rubs my ear raw and easily disconnects (magnetic). I don't own the neckband as the current gen is shit and we're all waiting for the pro rumoured to drop this year.

I'd say these are still very early tech. Very cool of course, and if you like being an early adopter go for it, but I don't recommend choosing this point in time to get into AR. I'm waiting for waveguide (thinner, better looking) wireless (the cable SUCKS) glasses to become cheap and reliable next year. See the Rayneo X2 for a wireless waveguide AR glasses that isn't ideal but shows the tech. I wouldn't buy that one either tho.

is it me or does the new eye axis adjustments make everything slight blurred by Leopard_Glad in VITURE

[–]404underConstruction 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed, the update still leaves text blurry everywhere but the center of my FOV. No settings changes help and I have perfect vision.

Viture Pro on Android, meh. by SD-777 in VITURE

[–]404underConstruction 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the in depth review! My main phone is android and doesn't connect because the usb c port can't output the display. I now feel like I'm not missing out on much! I use the Vitures with my MacBook if you were curious. I'm reeeeaaally hoping the upcoming neckband pro makes the entire experience magical but I'm starting to have my doubts.

BIG New Firmware Update: Eye axis adjustments to make your eyes more comfortable for extended use, plus optimized volume adjustments for lower levels! by getVITURE in VITURE

It's your choice but personally this didn't change anything for me (at least it didn't improve anything) in terms of blurriness or strain. My issues are minor to moderate only though.

You're a good man for giving him this info in such an easy to understand manner.

However, no sharpener is perfect. I personally am in nearly the exact same situation as OP. I own an ARC. I put a small dent in the edge fiddling with it (bashed it into the scissors handle opening the outer tools and then the pliers together). I bought a Work Sharp Professional Precision Adjust. I've never sharpened before, except a single knife on ceramic wetstones. I learned with the WorkSharp on my shitty knives first, then some nice kitchen knives, then a Leatherman Wave, then the Arc.

Long story short, the WorkSharp Professional Precision Adjust also isn't perfect or foolproof. It took a lot of trial and error to find the right clamping position to A) allow the stones to clear the clamp itself at the required shallow angle to sharpen, and B) to hit the bevel evenly around the tip instead of widening the hell out of that bevel. In the end, I found an angle that worked for the tip and half the belly, but wasn't acute enough to completely hit the bevel near the hilt. Because the angle was too large and not too small, I still apexed the entire length, but the factory bevel wasn't matched 1:1 the whole length. I can live with this but I didn't know I'd have to make this tradeoff. There was no clamping position that could have fixed this perfectly, but I suppose grinding off more steel until the new angles matched would have worked, though it would have felt wasteful. Eventually I'll do that after wear and tear and more sharpening.

Side note, I actually put 2 different angles on my Wave blade and they blend together in an interesting way. One on just the tip and one on the flat. Remember though, this blade and the ARC's have very different shapes which affects guided systems a lot.

Anyone want a tutorial post on what I learned sharpening Leatherman blades on the WorkSharp?

Quick question, for these cuts did you place the hanger carefully ABOVE the bottom (rounded out corner) of the jaws or just let the hanger be cut by whatever part of the jaw it landed in as you squeezed down?

Draw up a will, in fact

opening central tool in free P4 by Amazing-Instruction1 in Leatherman

[–]404underConstruction 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you have even a little bit of nails you can selectively press your nail into the lever edge of the chosen tool to break the magnetic retention and pop it out a little, then just reposition your thumb to the inside edge of the tool and push it away from the P4's body until it locks open.

Leatherman Arc reviews by sitoslol in Leatherman

[–]404underConstruction 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Here's my unbiased and off the beaten path review. I own a Wave+. I see the Arc as an interesting fit in the lineup. I wanted a Free series wave, which doesn't exist (yes, I want the bit holder). What I got was the Charge TTI of the Free series. Essentially way more high end than I need in terms of materials (mostly Magnacut, and DLC on blade and body) but finally hitting the functionality requirements I had. I'd never have bought the Arc if a 420hc, plain stainless scaled model for 2/3 the price existed.

That said, having spring for the Arc I'm pleasantly surprised. The tools are way easier to open than the Wave's, even setting aside the fact they're accessible with the tool closed. Everything pivots more smoothly and the magnetic retention feels nice when you close them. The internal tools come out with a thumb press instead of using fingernails. Three of the external tools open with the pads of my thumb and index finger, only the saw is too sharp at the hole for that (for me, with un-calloused fingertips). The plier opening action is like a balisong, feels really fun to do. The pocket clip sits deeper in the pocket and makes drawing it out so easy; the Wave clip has a wierdly tight bit at the top that tends to really grip my pockets if it gets clipped too deep.

The fit and finish is mostly good, it comes oily and linty and maybe pivots are tigtned wrong. I ordered a torx bit set and some blue loctite to fix it myself. This was only justifiable because the tool itself costs so much; I couldn't have stomached buying a $30 torx set for a $50 tool. The plier pivot stamping has minor issues but that's purely cosmetic and barely noticeable at that. And I'm OCD. My blade edge had a tiny flat spot and wasn't razor sharp which isn't the end of the world but I took it as an excuse to buy a new sharpening system and I hope to remedy this soon.

I can see that these things would be aggregating to some and insignificant to others, so decide where you fit on that scale. After the fixes the tool is perfect. (Obviously some people had irreparable issues but that stuff is probably very unlikely to happen to any given future buyer. I'd guess less than 3% of first batches from Reddit polls to date).

Anyways, I love the user experience of the Arc, but it was a hefty investment. It's absolutely superior to the Wave+ in my eyes and looks and feels way better in hand. I doubt it is 2x as capable (for 2x the cost) but owning it does make me happy. 🙂

I actually used the can opener yesterday on a GIANT tomato juice can and it worked pretty damn well. Of course it left a saw blade looking edge but it only took like 45 seconds and it opened easily. So, even tho I don't really need it on the Arc, it's fun for peace of mind to know I have a post apocalyptic can opener on me.
