Labradar competitor coming

[okie]

Soooo...you think ya got a good one there! Regrettably, since last April, I have to go into my urologist office once per quarter for a cystectomy up the urther, to get a look at the inside of my bladder. Not pleasant, but here is how the first episode went down. I'm sitting there in all my glory while the urologist breaks out his instrument. I can't believe it, appearance is identical as my Hawkeye (except his has a straight eye-piece, and rubberized shaft). Shortly, the discomfort is over, and I remark, "That looks just like the Hawkeye that I use to examine my rifle barrels!" Urologist responds, "What did you pay for your Hawkeye?" Hoping to impress him, I reply, "$1,100.00." He retorts, "Mine costs $35,000." To which I reply, "May I borrow it sometime?!" He just looks away.

I don't think Labradar will ever make a product upgrade.
They don't seem to care about user complaints or suggestions.
Might just have been turned over the product to a contract manufacturer
Never had a bluetooth device at any price work so poorly.

The problem with the unit having an internal battery pack is that it they only have so many charge cycles to its useful life.
That would mean having to return it for repairs.

Valid, just make the battery removable like smart phone batteries used to be.

Not at all but its just like hawkeye losing 98% of their gun business over a $50 chinese borescope. Nobody buys quality they buy on price

I use my hawkeye multiple times every day. The teslong is not in the same league. The hawkeye has better resolution and will last my lifetime. After the ccp virus and everything else they do, Im doing anything I can to avoid any of my money making it to that country.

Alex!…..
100% spot on my American friend!…..

OK. I’ve seen a dozen or more Caldwell Chicom made copies of Harris bipods fall apart over the years since the patten on Harris’s ran out. I have three real U.S. made Harris bipods used by me for more then thirty years, and they still are just as functionally sturdy as the day I purchased them.

Man i HATE the "buy once, cry once" BS!
Don't get me wrong, i'm happy for you.
I wish i had made proper career choices.
But i didn't.
So when something costs what my mortgage payment is, i have serious hesitations.
If there is a lesser expensive alternative, that works, i go for that.
Things that don't work get called out on pretty quickly.
And i just need things that work. I don't NEED all the bells & whistles.

Hence i won't be buying the new Velociradar. Because my Beta Master still works.

Now if they made a lesser expensive alternative to the RSI Pressure Trace, i'd be all over it!

I have NEVER regretted buying a higher quality ANYTHING. It doesn't have to have all the bells and whistles, I routinely will leave those out so I can buy a higher quality whatever. I bought my first decent tools in 1976, an S&K 3/8" drive socket set. It works as well now as it did 45 years ago.

Interesting... since I always thought part of the reason that Gradient Lens charged so dang much for the Hawkeye was because it was supposed to be 'medical grade'.

Then again, it seems like pretty much anything normal that is repurposed/relabeled for 'safety' or 'medical' is automagically 3-5x the regular sane price, if not more.

That is the base item costs plus all the extra liability insurance needed for medical, aviation, etc.

In reality this is 'buy once cry once within the parameters of personal affordability'
