Try it with stock at first, plenty of people are fine with the stock strap.

If looking at the elite strap and pad, maybe go the whole hog and get a DAS strap, that includes audo, and pay a few quid to get some adapters printed?
I noticed that when reading through
, made me curious as well, but I'm still happier to actually have mine (and for £10 less!). It's still the audio option that I'd like to see turn up though!
The cable he sends connects to the USB A anyway. Shouldn't make any significant difference I don't believe.
To give some hints. I put the head strap on first, without the quest 2 attached, and make sure that's setup comfortably. You should have some added foam inserts etc (I bought extras due to a long narrow head). Then for me, I have the holding arms on the furthest forward slot that the screw goes into, and angled down. Then I place the quest 2 into the arms, and onto my head, with the arms almost completely tightened. Push the quest 2 onto your face until it's just the right distance, then tighten the arm screws to hold it where it should be, on the face, but still with the whole weight taken by the strap.
You should be able to use velcro straps to hold a battery pack on. There's one or two included with the headstrap I believe (one to hold the front foam to the headset, I took that one off, though may try adding it back actually). As you may have seen in my photos, I've actually left the vertical strap from the original on my quest, and attached it all the way to the back to the battery strap, as it helps counterbalance better in my mind.
Cheers Mate. What you say makes sense, so I will start all over again later
Yeah, I was thinking velcro straps. Just a little disappointed that there wasn't anywhere for a powerbank to click into.
If he doesn't know what bank you're using, he can't make a size
. Does it have a platform at the bottom for it to at least rest on (whilst you strap it in with velcro)?I'm trying to figure out now how I can strap the quest 2 to the front strap, whilst still using the vertical to the battery pack as well...
The larger foam piece can go onto the base of the skull bit (where it tightens in), the thinner bits go on the top two headstraps.
EDIT - I think there's some instructions on his Youtube (maybe for hte quest 1 version).

I applied extra foam on the sides and even small slices around the cog fitting screw pieces.
I also put some underneath the front headband cover.
I think it's easy to over tighten it, when it really doesn't need to be too tight.

Looks good! I like the idea behind using the padding from the facemask! I've just used foam tape on those. My issue came from the sides being pulled in too far (narrow head) and being pressure points, but seem to have got around that now.
Something I do like about it, is that I can have it on relatively loosely for a lot of things (fishing for instance), but then can easily tighten it up and it still be comfortable, for gorilla tag.

It does take a lot of fiddling and adjustment, but I feel that it has the potential for a very high comfort ceiling, even if it takes time.
What do you like?
Real vr fishing is relaxing and sociable. Walkabout golf is meant to be really good. Eleven tabletennis is amazingly accurate. Gorilla tag is great fun and exercise. Then there shooterd I'm not familiar with etc etc.
On mine you wouldn't be able to easily, but that said, the little side pieces aren't that large, so you may get away with it. I use a couple of small velcro cable ties to hold mine in tight, so could probably just file the side pieces down and not notice a difference.
Motto of the story, is the Quest is cheap, but once you've added all the accessories it's expensive
Even with the bits and bobs, it's only expensive if you buy the official bits and bobs, and even after all of that, it's more just not cheap anymore, rather than expensive
.
I love the fact that it's almost come full circle back to the default .

I need to read the whole thread, but is there a go to recommended battery power pack option kind of built into the an upgraded headstrap or something? is that the preferred method hanging it off the head strap or does anyone run one in a pocket or something? My son has a quest 2 and wants longer battery life.
MVH studios headstrap comes with a battery holder, either for a specific battery, or a generic.
In general though, all you really need is some velcro cable ties eg https://www.overclockers.co.uk/ocuk-branded-cable-tie-1m-length-cutable-to-length-cb-109-ok.html
And just strap them onto the battery to hold it in place around whatever strap you are using. I've added some to my mvhstudios headstrap, even though I've got the right setup, since on very violent movements, it would slip out occassionally, a couple of cable ties around the middle and it's going nowhere.
I'd not worry about specifically getting an Anker. I'd just look for something compact, rather than long and thin etc. 10000mah is good. As for straps, why not try what ShiWarrior has just got, and get the headcup thing that goes onto the original strap.
The "larger" thinner one, looks the same size as the regular one to me? Just from a brief brief view of the video?
I found one that used a magnetic strip card as calibrator. Made sure not to use a bank card though.
There's plenty of ways to attach a battery pack. Don't have to buy the elite battery strap, lots of options available.
Unless you played with someone else, we weren't playing for 3.5 hours.
