9X^(infinity)?

Post by Rob Thomson »

Curious about who the rc community they have consulted with are?

Seems to me that as the 'community' have only just started to hear about this new product - it is nothing more than marketing hype.

Proof will be in the actual product being released. The fact is that they are taking per orders; for a product that has not yet got any following and no proven device to even sample.

This would be very high risk for any shop to consider taking in board.

Equally curious as to how much this is marketting fluff versus reality. Surely there are enough ïndependent reviewers out there who would be willing and able to provide wider community feedback on the product.

9 mins of video presenting the product and about 20 seconds of that provided any real view of the product! ... didnt do anything to win me over!

That was my question. I've been into FPV since the beginnings 10 years ago, and following most major communities related - yet nobody heard about it...

If they did actually ask the community, i am sure they didn't take into consideration that most hobbiests are not millionaires. :)

Nothing worse than a programmer/developer who thinks he knows what the user wants.

There were waaaayyy to many times I was proven wrong and/or dumb by the er9x community. The radio sure looks nice but this whole thing smells of vaporware.
