Seems like a pretty useful gadget to have, unfortunately the price is a deal breaker for me.

Awesome idea but the price outweighs the pain factor, for me.

Don't think I would buy this for anywhere near $800

Very cool, but wow I wasn't expecting the price to be at almost a grand.

Even though it's great value, it still costs around $400

This looks very slick and very cheap. If only I could justify buying one.

Love the product!I’d actually love to use it as a hobbyist, but the pricing is a bit steep. Anyway to come down to 30$ or so?
