I was going to say it was rather impressive video, until he exited A fullface helmet would probably be better as it would keep the glasses still but then you might get foging issues.
And I'm not sure about the 75 degree field of view.

I agree the field of view is too narrow for general purpose skydiving. Do they have a wider angle option?
And the continuous flicker in the video that begins once they exit the plane mars what is otherwise reasonably good quality. Hope they can fix that.
Good concept, however. Not a snag hazzard, easy to "mount", no need to fuss with getting it aimed properly.

the warble seen in that vid isn't from the glasses moving; it's from a software or hardware gyro. Knowing the developers fairly well, they'll have this worked out prior to bringing them to market. The sunglass optics are very well done, UV etc. Angle of camera lens, encoding bitrate, and the gyro issue all need some tweaks, IMO.

Here's another video using the Pivot head in a skydive (a Helo jump). Was posted June 26, a few weeks after the official release, so presumably this is their production run model.
