Where a traditional stud finder can only locate live hopes and dreams, the Walabot is capable of even locating hopes and dreams that are dead. *disclaimer - this may or may not be true.
JUST received my Walabot DIY 2. It connected to my iPhone quickly (~ 7-8 seconds) and calibration took about 10 seconds. I’m believe other reviewers that struggle in various situations don’t take time to calibrate completely. If you’re asking a tech device that requires calibration, prob not best to expect much accuracy if you’re not doing the calibration well. I highly recommend this wall stud finder. It found wooden studs and an electrical wire , that I wasn’t expecting, quickly & clearly. Just get it. Just one incorrect drilling cannot only destroy your results, but KILL YOU if you hit the wrong electrical source. Now you REALLY have to spend money! Lastly some people complain about the Walabot “marking or scraping” paint off interior walls. I agree the 2 strips of hard “plastic” would scratch surfaces, depending how hard you press into the wall. Walabot requires only slight pressure and to make things move more smoothly & less “damaging” for some users I applied 1 strips of 3M invisible tape with a little foldover tab for easy removal/replacement. It makes a big difference in scanning as well as protecting the device & walls.
Tellible, constat filure with the connection for you phone. expect it to take forever to get ready to go. my bosch scanner was $80 and scans better faster and more accurately in the actual field. This product is in my trash!
I see advertisements for this thing everywhere online. Usually when that happens, the item is a total piece of garbage like the “As Seen on TV” crap. Over marketing exists and it raises flags. I’ll pass.
I run alot of wires through drywall and use glow/fishing rods, would it detect the movement in expert mode and detect the glow rod in general. If yes that could be a game changer!
They did compensate me to make a video as the video indicates, but I only ever promote tools that I genuinely would recommend and enjoy using myself. I haven’t had any issues with this thing and have used it a ton. What issues are you having with it if you’ve used it? There’s also tons a great reviews on Amazon from other people who dig it too.
I happen to be a lifelong photographer, to make viewing easier on my iPhone I used a tripod attachment for my phone and raised it up for much easier viewing. Has anyone else found some hacks for view phone while using the Walabot? Guess could put double stick tape or adhesive Velcro on a cheap iPhone case? Thoughts?
Will this locate studs through fiberglass or hollow walls? Having an issue with this apartment complex where they installed hollow fiberglass shower walls for some reason. And of course the backer boards are not up to code. Thanks
@@MadElectrician Yes, sizes are not important. Have to just verify if the smaller diameter pipe is installed inside the bigger pipe. So-it can do that?
It actually work perfectly fine with insulation, I think most people who review it on UA-cam like me just build a demo wall and don’t think about putting insulation in it. I’ll probably make another video at a future point answering questions I’ve gotten about it. Based on comments on my other social media accounts, a lot of people seem to think that it isn’t even real which I find pretty funny.
so it'll detect a pvc pipe or wire buried in a 3 1/2 or 5 1/2 inch insulated wall? I'd like to see that before I buy the walabot. Let me know when you do that video. Thanks, @@MadElectrician
If this works on a MRI and Cat scan, then this is a radio active out put in the light spectrum that the medical imagers fall in. What is the output strength and the danger with long term use?
@@howardhoman8233if it emitted X-ray radiation, it would absolutely affect the user via “scatter” radiation. This definitely does not use X-ray radiation (that’s what CT or “CAT” scans use. MRI (no ionizing radiation) is magnetic resonance imaging and you need a giant unit that costs millions of dollars to use it. It’s impossible for this tiny handheld unit to use either of those technologies. What makes much more sense is some sort of sound wave tech.
Well done man, I believe they take about 18 people per class once or possible twice a month. I know people have gotten in with a higher score and I would be pumped on that ranking but it really depends on how busy work is right now in the area.
@@Patrick_Tremblay You're not convincing me at all. Yup, I'm going to need to share photos of studs! It's being too lazy to design an interface, and too cheap to put one in. It's all about reducing cost, and then convincing you they did you a favor, which they seem to of sold you on. Not smart, cheap.
@@andrewstrawser6177 I would. I don't want the hassle of having two items in my hands trying to see through walls. It's a dumb design. It's the one thing that is holding me back on considering buying it. I love the idea, but not the implementation of it. They even have the phone taped to the device, which shows they know how it should of been made, and their answer is tape! Cheap device, and poorly made commercial showing the right way to use their all so great product is with blue tape used to join what should have been joined.
Can it locate hopes and dreams, cant seem to find where i put mine

Lol
How does this have 677k views but only 54 likes? Is UA-cam broken again?
Maybe because it's expensive?
Probably paid / bot views

😐Nice gadget...but the $190 price tag on it😬,
Is keeping me away from it.
This thing is junk ..... thought i had a bad one and the second is no better ..... not ready fir prime time !
How can you tell the difference between a wire and a pipe. They both look the same on the video?
anything you have to waste 15 sec to calibrate is garbage
Interesting metric for measuring quality 🤔
@@MadElectrician anyone in the trade wants to work as quick as possible and a tool that needs constant calibration is asinine
@@sigmiami You make a valid point. I wouldn't use it either, and not just for the point you bring up.
I see advertisements for this thing everywhere online. Usually when that happens, the item is a total piece of garbage like the “As Seen on TV” crap. Over marketing exists and it raises flags. I’ll pass.
Price details
what happens when you have shiplap walls, does the wood mess things up?
It sounds like sponsored content.
I run alot of wires through drywall and use glow/fishing rods, would it detect the movement in expert mode and detect the glow rod in general. If yes that could be a game changer!
$190? NO THANKS!
Paid advertisement. The thing is a POS

Can I see my wife and her boyfriend through our separate bedroom wall using this device?

how about PEX pipes?
Would it work outside of America, where the houses are built of proper materials and not all drywall, say actual brickwork or concrete?
It wont
Wow this thing looks like it can come in very handy
Crazy question....could I use this to see how many puppies my dog has in her belly? 🤔
As an electrician I some times need to trace a wire. Can the Walabot show me the wire so I can follow it through the wall?
Hello
Need to verify if the plastic pipe installed inside of fiber glass bigger diameter plastic pipe.
Does WALABOT DIY 2 make such kind of job?
Hello! It will not tell you a pipes diameter unfortunately. Just whether or not there is one there.
@@MadElectrician Yes, sizes are not important. Have to just verify if the smaller diameter pipe is installed inside the bigger pipe.
So-it can do that?
it gives all the info on the product except for the price. I wouldn't get it for that reason. it seems deceptive.......
$152 right now on Amazon with their holiday deals. Check out the Amazon reviews too. Great reviews.
Sir it literally said your hand was a wooden stud
How does this work with plaster walls?
How many inches
I noticed that no one you tube uses the walabot on insulated walls. How come? Does it not work in that situation?

I've had that same thought! I'll raise your thought... Can it see through plaster and wood lathe?
If this works on a MRI and Cat scan, then this is a radio active out put in the light spectrum that the medical imagers fall in. What is the output strength and the danger with long term use?
As it is on a wall....and not a human, why ask? Unless you also wish professionals to label hammers as "not for use on humans"

Hey all! Just got ranked #37 at local 48 for the inside apprenticeship program and wondering if that is a good enough score to get in. Thank you!

@@alexsanoff585 Thanks dude really appreciate it! Just have to hope there’s plenty of work ahead!
The lazy part is making this use a smart phone, and not designing a screen for it. Just lazy.
Probably to keep the price down…
Good screens cost good money, need to keep price point down.
It's saves you money by having to use your phone... unless you want to pay more for the product if they add a screen
