I've been through this with dark room equipment and other photo gear. I'll bet anything if you look around at hardware stores Cooking stores etc. You will find the same items from the same factory marketed for another purpose at half the price or less.
I think these products are kind of brilliant, actually. Love that I don't have to buy an extra stand, but can use a tripod I already have. As if I need to lug around one more piece of equipment! The table is light and doesn't take up much extra room, that's why I dig it. It makes tethered shooting easier and allows me to set up wherever I want. Feeling mobile, even when I'm tethered -- how can you go wrong? Wishing I had thought of these products a long time ago!
Seriously Adorama, will you please cater for the beginner/amature markets as well.. surely that woul be where you would make more sales. $200 seems a bit steep for some aluminium. Love what your doing with the tutorials but just seems reviews are pushing only the expensive or pro stuff.
@snappuppy I guess by now you haven't figured out that photography is an expensive business. To you it's folded aluminium but to others it is a secure platform for your laptop and peripherals when tethered-shooting.
@FlightSimTutorials I know full well how expensive photography can be but it does not justify companies charge over the odds for products. Also it does not mean we, as photographers, have to accept it. But if you're happy paying silly money for something, that's your business.
@snappuppy Look, I fully agree with you. I would never spend $200 on that thing but as I was saying, some really look at it from a practical point of view. Remember, there are many professional photographers out there that are backed by large corporations that provide them with the gear they pretty much want or make enough money from it so they really don't think of price as much as you or I. If you have a photo business, it becomes an investment that will pay off in the long run.

You have got to be joking, no seriously $200 for a bit of folded Aluminium?
