I let the Sun hit my Quest 2 lens for 1 half of a Second while taking it off and it burned annoying permanently visible spots on my Screens. Had to get a new one. I NEVER let the Sun come even close to my Lenses on my Quest ³!
The pancake lenses of Q3 are lot less transparent, so maybe it will last a few seconds more :) Friends Q2 got hit by morning sun through the whole house like it really had a grudge against it. The black burned spot was not fun to look at .
I can tell you from the fpv drone world, we use headsets with similar lenses all the time in the sun and dont really worry about it. Even with constantly taking it on and off in the sun for a long time it doesnt break it. Im sure it would be a problem if you left the lenses in direct sunlight for an extended period of time though.
Thanks for the great insight! For some reason, people in the VR world tend to be a bit overly worried about the sun - that’s why we decided to make this video.
The front cameras is focusing on a sensor that can be damaged by direct sunlight/heat, mostly this is for they have a filter that remove some red light at the near-IR spectrum, this filter can be plastic and deform a bit so it will create a discoloration. For my this happened on a camera that I had up to make a timelapse and the sun came into frame, but then my camera was not and the heat was concentrated on one spot for a longer time 20 to 30 seconds, but if you have it on the head, move and mostly look a bit down/normally it should not destroy the lens. You can test this by use a magnifying glass, if you hold it still with a concentrated beam you can born things, but if you always move the focus point it will not have time to build up heat to burn the paper.
I would be more worried for dust and pollen from trees when use it outside, and then rain that sometime can come a bit randomly here in Sweden near the coastline.
Everyone who didn’t yet, should try the experiment with magnifying glass and paper. Loved it as a kid.
gioco sempre col mio quest tre al sole☀️, l'importante è stare attento che il sole non tocchi le lenti interne 😎 inoltre è consigliabile usare ovr metrics tool per monitorare un eccessivo surriscaldamento della batteria
I always use a small foam insert to keep the lenses safe. Nice video!
Thank you!
Is it waterproof? Might need to be if you get the boundary wrong
Maybe we get to test that one day too. Let’s see! :D
I take mine swimming in salt water all
The time!
I thought the danger of sun damage from the pancake lenses was far less likely than fresnel lenses to the point it isn't that big of an issue.
If you check out our other video, you will see a lot of people still see it as a big issue.
"cool" video man even in the sun lol
Haha, Thanks man!
Top banana!!! You can also pick up cheap lens covers for added peace of mind.
Thanks! Good point!
