VUF-110 Wearable Display

Not sure why the reviews are mixed; this thing is amazing!
I’ve got decades of experience with VR, drones, and various head-mounted displays and the Vufine+ is a superb low-cost option for a monocular display that allows you to still maintain LOS to your drone — an FAA requirement that’s frequently broken by scofflaws.
But it’s such a nice and comfortable HMD that I want to use it for so much more. I saw another reviewer claiming it’s wonderful as a camera monitor and were they ever right! My Sony alpha cameras all worked flawlessly (after setting them to ‘auto’ resolution on the HDMI output) and it makes getting those crazy low angle kitten photos so much easier — especially now that I’m older and can’t get physically low as easily anymore.
It’s even better than that; I want to wear it all the time so I can watch TV while I do the chores! I don’t care if I look like a Borg reject — if it means I can do the dishes and vacuum the house while I’m watching my soaps!
I will mention that the mount the Vufine+ comes with worked quite nicely for my test run, and I left it on my glasses (which are prescription frames that just happen to be identical to the ones in the box) — then about an hour later, the rubber that holds the mount broke, spontaneously — not even being touched, or worn, or looked at! So I sent a quick e-mail to the address on the Vufine website. I told them the mount broke almost immediately, and could I get a replacement and also maybe buy a spare or two in case the replacement also turns out to be super fragile. They wrote me back in *minutes* saying it was no problem, they’d already shipped out a replacement and a spare, gratis, and included a tracking number. Very professional!
Other than the mount breaking, I don’t have any real complaints. There’s plenty of things that could be a little nicer, but it’s an all-around good design and the low ($200 at the time of writing) price elevates it to great. I’m even tempted to buy a second one just so I’ll have a spare if they someday stop being produced or go out of business. It’s that good!
One last thing that’s not really spelled out anywhere that I could find – although it claims there is a 90-minute battery life, it works just fine plugged in so if you don’t mind another cable there’s no reason you can’t wear it all day and watch your soaps too.

It works well if you just need video. Audio, however, is a problem.
If you are just using this for just video, it is outstanding. It works best out of the sunlight, and I was surprised about how well the video looks.
I bought this to use with my iPhone and had the approved Apple Lightning Digital AV Adapter listed on their website. The issue is that with the adapter, the iPhone audio wants to go through the HDMI, and since there isn’t a headphone jack on the Vufine, you can’t hear audio unless you use Bluetooth headphones synced with your iPhone. That would be fine, but in practice, it is not fine.
I tried two different iPhones: an iPhone SE (8) on iOS 15.3.1 and an iPhone 12 on iOS 15.3. Nearly 80% of the time, it’s a real hassle to switch the audio from HDMI to Bluetooth. It either doesn’t want to switch, or when it does switch, and you can finally hear the audio in your Bluetooth, the video output freezes while the sound continue to play. This mostly happens on any video you use with mobile Safari (like YouTube.com) or when using the VLC app. I think this is mostly an Apple issue and not an issue with the Vufine, but since it shows up on their compatibility list, that’s why I bought it and this issue is why I am returning it.
Also, and this is somewhat unrelated, but there are many apps out there, like Peacock, that do not allow HDMI output using this lightning to HDMI adapter. So if you are trying to buy this to watch the Peacock streaming, it will not work. This is a NBC issue and not a Vufine problem, but I should have checked all the apps for HDMI output ahead of time. There are apparently many that do not work, so my advice would be to buy the HDMI adapter, connect it to a monitor, and test your apps before you buy this.
In closing I really wish this had a headphone jack on it, because that would resolve my issue, though it would need an audio amp and that would likely eat into the battery life.

me being me, i had to take it apart to see if i could adjust it to fit my stylistic preferences better. naturally, the casing is now ruined. completely on me. other commenters are completely right when it comes to the magnetic joint to hold it to your glasses. it came with two: the first joint was really strong, but had no versatility, and the second one used a base plate to link the magnet, but the base plate was really weak, and the arm it was connected to wasn’t nearly strong enough to keep it in place. i’d give it a 97/100.
picture quality is incredible if you click through the resolution settings, but i wasn’t able to get it at my preferred resolution and also keep it in place, which was more an issue of the arm than the device itself.
i tried experimenting with removing the shell because it was way too thick and heavy to hang off my glasses, but nothing would come close to looking as good without also being really bulky. if i could have gotten the screen to the other side of my lenses (closer to my eye than my glasses are), the resolution would have been perfect, but alas such is life.
once i had taken the casing apart, the device miraculously still worked, which is actually very rare for me, so i can personally attest that if it can survive me, it can survive proper, regular use. still, i’d recommend getting a rare earth magnet or two to fully affix it. doing it this way would work best for magnetic-frame glasses, as long as they aren’t thin, like granny glasses are.
if i could change anything about them… i’d not damage the casing -_-‘

The mount sucks, and jiggles around too easy. The cables can be cumbersome, the button on the end is not intuitive, it won’t remember settings, and even when positioned properly, theres corners of the screen you wont be able to focus on. However, the screen is very nice, its bright, its crisp, the unit itself is light and small, and very inexpensive for what it is. For the money you save on buying this unit over a more expensive one, you can 3d print a proper mount, and pick up some slim cables, and you’ve got a great setup. Theres better out there, but not for this price.
