Hey Para-Friends!!
This is mainly for our friends just getting Into the field.. but even the seasoned should read to help with this growing problem..
NOW, Usually I wouldn’t do this!!! But I’m seeing it happen MORE and MORE!
I am currently fixing/modifying an SLS camera my friend purchased (for $250!!) through a company (I’m not petty so they will remained unnamed but it’s based in the UK) that builds super BULKY, OVER-PRICED, SLS devices.. and this was a basic model. They are taking advantage of new guy investigators and that is the part I hate. The craftsmanship is shotty, the whole unit is unstable.. and to top it off, the design is just.. really bad, it would never fit into a case unless you completely take it apart. When I received it from my friend, after a bit of trouble shooting I realized that inside the sealed box/housing, the sensor and power supply weren’t even connected!! It would have cost her 100$ in shipping sending this massive unit back and forth overseas! That’s if the company wouldn’t even responded back to her, once they got their payment they wouldn’t even acknowledge her problems. Only giving her the run-around but no solutions 😡🤯 As someone who takes pride in their builds, every single build, (I also know a lot of other engineers, inventors, builders that put a lot of pride and effort into creating the best possible product) these “companies” that are just money-hungry, are flooding the market with poorly built, garbage-tech and have no problem taking your money (usually lots of it) for a sub-par product. Then ignore you as soon as payment clears. And the number of these companies grows every day..
SO, para-friends, new AND old. PLEASE do your homework, asking questions on a lot of these pages, groups will just direct you towards their own gear and agenda. As an investigator FIRST, I’ve always been here to help investigators first. I do a lot of repairs and builds for basically FREE, so I have no motive to mislead. If you have questions about gear, where to buy.. best prices, best quality, etc. I’ll be completely honest and even use my network to find you what you want. Para-Unity is real here.
Just PM me here at VEW or on my personal page and I’d be more than happy to help, and if I can’t, I will direct you to someone I trust who can. There ARE resources out here that aren’t set-up to drain your bank accounts.
Here when you need me!
Thanks Para-Friends!!
