This is an interesting thread because I’m concerned for the legality of this
product. If this one gentleman in London is apparently manufacturing these I’m
very concerned he’s either lying or ripping people off by sourcing this
elsewhere.
The, original, product is at this link, and it’s been around for some time.
http://standscan.com
Just a heads up really, don’t mean to poop on anyone’s party.

Craig Blake
