Anyone try the Walabot - See - Through Wall Device?
 
I saw this on TV recently, looks like something way beyond a stud finder; which I already have. Prices are under $100 - which is a doable Christmas present ..............to myself. Anyone have or use 1? The images portrayed on the commercial look too real.

I think Matt Lauer uses it all the time.

Never heard of it.

I remember the ads in the back of comic books for the x-ray vision glasses so you could see through women's clothes. I hope this works better than those old comic book ad products.

^^^ Sounds like you bought one in hopes...

No opinion, just info:

If you're seriously considering it, I'd suggest you read some reviews on, say, Amazon--very mixed--then make a decision for yourself.

hahah..i remember those.

what about the old surplus jeeps wrapped in cosmoline? (whatever that is)?? or the submarine!!

I saw the ad and looks very cool but also sounds too good to be true.
Basically from a quick look it seems like an app you load on your phone and a scaner you plug into the phones USB.

I like it... if it works... I'll wait to see the reviews.

A friend of my brother's dad was a contractor to the Army, told us he could get Indian motorcycles in the crate for $40, still kicking myself for passing up on that (I was so young I didn't even have a drivers licence.)

I remember those ads for the Jeeps. My dad helped push new Jeeps and trucks overboard on his way back from the Philippines after VJ day. They didn't want Army surplus competing with peacetime production.

I would think that a Flir One for your phone would be better than that thing.

Not me, but a friend of mine at the time bought some.

Like the bubble gum wrappers you could send in 500 gum wrappers and only pay for the shipping, or $5.00 and and then the shipping.

I actually bought the little spy camera. It was tiny, and used 8 mm movie film.

Looked at the reviews online, pretty scathing mostly. Great idea - but the technology they use is not there yet

JJ 911SC 12-06-2017 03:49 PM

I use mine every day. Its call a window :):D:)

Are we talking about the Walabot or a Tesla?

legion 12-07-2017 05:29 AM

After reading up a bit, it seems like the Walabot just project a virtual reality image of the inside of your walls--after you calibrate it. (If you can get it calibrated.) Prior to calibrating, you get some fuzzy images of various colored blobs.

I think with some practice, you could learn to work with raw images. I'd be curious what technologies it uses? Infrared? Ultrasonic?

asphaltgambler 12-07-2017 05:34 AM

^^^yes - me too ^^^^^^Another commercial where it WAY over promises and WAY under delivers. I think the Ronco kitchen gadgets have more truthful advertising.........and that's saying sonething.

masraum 12-07-2017 07:58 AM

Flir One
