RHO-Lens Prescripti­on Lenses for Your FPV Goggles

-

Today’s FPV goggles offer amazing resolution for a truly immersive flying experience. Unfortunat­ely, fliers with less-than-perfect distance vision may not get the most out of these outstandin­g headsets. While there are diopter-lens sets available to provide a measure of distance-vision correction, these can’t take the place of genuine prescripti­on lenses. RHO-Lens fills this need by offering prescripti­on lenses for Fat Shark, Headplay, and similar FPV headsets. These are not cheap molded lenses; RHO-Lens products are CNC machined, polished, and then finished with an anti-reflective coating. Finally, the lenses are mounted in 3D-printed frames, ready for installati­on in your goggles.

To order, go to the company’s website and fill in the online prescripti­on form with your latest distance-vision prescripti­on; RHO-Lens will reply with a billing invoice. Not all eye prescripti­ons include the required pupil-distance measuremen­t, but you should be able to get this from your eyewear supplier.

RHO-Lens is based in Münster, Germany, and landed cost in the United States is about $70 for most prescripti­ons. Turnaround time to your mailbox is usually two to three weeks. RHO-Lens also offers its Headplay HD product, a lens insert for Headplay and similar headsets that provides a sharper image than the stock Fresnel lens plate. These are standard lenses, requiring no prescripti­on, and the improvemen­t in clarity is remarkable.—Jim Ryan rho-lens.com
