The price of this product annoys me. The electronics come to about a
tenner's worth. You can go into B&Q and buy an ultra-sonic measuring
device for about twenty quid. So there is absolutely no way this piece
of crap should cost in excess of 500 quid.

afterward.
Much appreciated for your info that can be help making my mind up.

I have heard someone on NFBUK mention one and I think he found it OK
but all he said about it would not make me rush out to get one. On
the other hand I tried one once at an exhibition and as I have some
residual vision which is useful in daylight I would not have good
vision in a dark place at night. I therefore tried the cane having
got the person to place objects in my path and I kept my eyes closed.
All I can say is that as I approached the object I did feel a
vibration but we didn't have anything to simulate head height so I am
not sure if it just detects to the level of the tip of the cane. I
liked it personally and would have purchased if it had cost £30!
