Introducing AngelEye ... Magwedge exclusive!!

I do not invent therefore I do not mock anyone that does.

Thought it was kinda cool. However, the first thing that came to mind was

"It would save a lot of lives on the walking dead no doubt!"

I kind of regret my joke rear view mirror post cause it was probably a bit insensitive to all the hard work that has gone into bringing this product from conception to reality. There is a sense, though, where this sort of initial knee jerk reaction feedback from potential customers is of value, even if it does sting. I think that one lesson here for you is that as you market this item its potential usages and value needs to be demonstrated/clarified more than assumed because it seems obvious that not everybody just 'gets it' in the same manner that it is probably 100% clear in your own minds. My 2 cents anyways.
 
I appreciate the effort, but you have to admit that this has the "chairbourne ranger" written all over it. I think that you would be laughed at if you offered these to any professional end user.

I think your best market is affiliating yourself with TWD and seeing if you can get some screen time with your product saving one of the main characters...

Quite honestly, I think the utility obvious.

I should again point out that I am not the inventor, but the minute I saw and tried this unit out I understood the value mostly lay with the ability to keep track of "friendlies" and minimize safety issues. This is a benefit to anyone who is moving about with loaded firearms whether on the range, or hunting or on duty and operating in a group.

I do know that training courses have become very popular and I see this as useful in this venue as well.

I imagine there may be other uses such as seeing a bad guy on your tail, but I frankly have no experience in that area and will leave it to others to try the unit out and make that judgement.

Anyways a little humor is expected and not a bad thing. Some folks were getting a bit too over the top and I pruned those comments.

I think it best that you stop commenting in this thread.

You really have nothing positive to contribute and I had to delete two other comments from you already.

You don't like the concept, fine I get it ... but to reply several times with negativity and derision strikes me as completely inappropriate and disrespectful.

Fair enough. Thanks for sharing some of your perspective here. Btw, I installed a Kwik Rail on my SKS a couple of weeks ago and have been enjoying that product very much. Keep up the good work!
 
Another positive comment I can make here. Kudos to whoever came up with the product's name. It's catchy and fits well with the item's intended purpose.

Fair enough, I dont see how any of it was inappropriate, and never meant to be disrespectful, but never the less I will apologize for cluttering your threads with poor attemps at humor. Sorry!

I will take a back seat and watch the future attempts at humor!

Cheers!
 
I dont want to be jerk and naysayer but i see two points:

1.) Its worth posting a critique so as to give a preliminary idea of what the market thinks of this item. Personally amd professionally i dont see much utility based on the single photo. I hope you weigh the opinions with whether to go ahead or stop with the development of this device.

2.) That said, you need to develop a strategy to justify its creation, building it "just because". Will accomplish little more then a money grab from a niche market. That said, i'm not sure i see any reason to rely on a mirror as opposed to getting my head up on a swivel for operational awareness.

I mean, im not even sure non verbal cues would translate well depending on the size of the mirror.

But thanks for risking this out and maube your ahead of the curve on a new device.

Thanks for your constructive comments Copeland.

At this point some independent reviews are a very good idea, and I believe the maker of this product is in the process of arranging some.

I do agree just seeing a pic makes it difficult to understand the full potential of the AngelEye.

The maker of the product brought it to me already produced and asked me to help with marketing. Even if he had brought the idea to me earlier it can be a tricky thing to get feedback before patenting and producing. Sometimes you just have to take a chance and "go for it" ... I now know that my first SKS rail should have been taken in that direction. Instead I test marketed it and sure enough, a similar product came out to compete with mine.

As to being ahead of the curve, I think perhaps this is the case with the AngelEye. For a product to cause so much controversy and disbelief suggests that no one has even begun to consider the potential of such an item and as such is difficult for some to even consider it seriously.

I think those people are wrong and as time passes and the product gets into people's hands it will prove its usefulness.
 
Some secret squirrel types carry a 2" round hand held mirror to look around corners thus minimizing visual signature to possible non friendlies. This mirror attached to a forward rail on a patrol carbine might eliminate that need. Just thinkin of the possibilities.
