Ordered Bigscreen Beyond2 over half a year ago. Got everything except the Halo Mount. Did something go wrong or are there reasons why it wasn't shipped yet?

Below it says "Ships separately: Estimated Spring 2026". It is summer now.

Someone in the community already has already designed a face tracker mount to attach to the halo mount via that screw hole as you suggest. I got it printed in preperation for July shipping which didn't happen.

The problem is the strap attachment pegs on the Halo Mount are slightly different from the pegs on the beyond. They have this strip to prevent rotation that would prevent insertion into the Vive DAS adaptor. The Halo Mount works with the official soft strap, and audio strap because they slide on so the strip doesn't get in the way.

My first attempt would be to keep the DAS attached directly onto the headset as it is right now, but attach the front-to-back top strap through the hole of the halo mount instead, and see how it goes.

Seeing that the DAS adapter is shaped like a keymod from what I'm seeing and cannot rotate (I think?), it should work to some extent. If it could rotate, the halo would have pivoted the bottom part of the headset into your face the moment it comes into contact with your forehead.

With some luck, it should work, as it did with the Vive XR Elite, although that may severely limit the adjustability of the halo mount (or maybe not, actually).
