It starts up a lot faster than the original Quest but I don't find it as comfortable. The original strap is awful but the Elite straps are nowhere to be found at the moment. It's difficult for me to find a comfortable position that is also optimal for the lenses. I think I will have to change the face mask too as the pressure points at the top of my nose are very uncomfortable. Running with the link cable to the PC is a lot better than I thought, but not the best option for SLR. The stand alove version on the Q2 gives a lot higher resolution choice (though I was getting the odd pause for a few seconds), than the offering on PC even though it is a fairly high end machine.
Still pleased with it but will be more so when all the little comfort quirks are ironed out.
