content: Some no name Chinese instrument maker, oddly the website in their email is just an image with Chinese writing and pictures of equipment that is a link to another website. If they think they can compete with Flir, they have some road yet.

content: Haha very happy to hear from your guys, because we are a new brand from China, we have a strong team of product research, at present our products are blank in the market, I am the head of marketing Cecilia, would like to hear from you all about the product; haha, I know that you will think that it may be a scammer, it's okay, send me an email, I will send you the brand and related product information! ! After recognizing that you think I'm a trustworthy person, then I'll choose you, because it takes mutual trust to keep things going in the long run. Because what I'm trying to do is trying to get interested people as our most initial users, with any new products, I'll be happy to think of you to make a test for the brand!

content: Haha, it's normal to have this concern, if it were me, I would think the same way;As a new brand in China, I want to develop my seed users. I send you free products, I also want you to give me honest reviews, it's a mutual choice! If we work well together, you as our initial user, I'll be happy to call you for any future product reviews! This is a long term partnership!I know all of you will be worried and can contact me via private message or email! You'll be able to tell if I'm a reliable person in communication and service!

content: I'm interested in both thermal and night vision. I'm a software developer with recent experience creating custom image processing software for ultra low-light MIPI cameras on Raspberry Pi, monocular and stereoscopic. Also, I'm currently testing Infiray P2 with my own custom optics. Interested in a variety of applications. In the US, please PM me with more details about your brand and products. Thanks.

content: Cecilia did respond to my message.Sadly it appears they only want USA based reviewers so it is unlikely that I will get to test and review these units. Over to you USA thermal imaging enthusiasts.ArsenioDev…… I will now return to repairing thermal cameras that have been awaiting my attention for far too long ….I have made good progress and I am thoroughly enjoying myself. 👍🙂Fraser

content: For anyone considering this: Cecilia PM'd me, asked for my email address, and then she sent an email describing the brand and the basic terms of their "cooperation program." The brand sells through several well-known marketplaces, so you can see what products they are currently selling. I decided not to participate, but others might be interested. Note: in her follow-up email, Cecilia cc'd (not bcc'd) several other potential participants, so be advised that your email address might not be private from other forum members.

content: Eegan,Thank you for this update. I am interested to hear that the companies products are visible on well known marketplaces as I know the OEM behind most of the products seen on eBay, Aliexpress, Banggood etcI have worked with some of them in the past.I often receive approaches from startup Chinese companies whose sales staff read my forum posts and they ask me for technical advice. It often transpires that what they actually want/need is a cheap/free salesman/agent in a target country. I hope this is not the case here.Having worked with Chinese start-ups in the past I know that, whilst they can make a product, marketing it in the west can prove challenging to them. They do not have the “in-place” market presence and distribution system to become visible to consumers. Some try to sell via eBay and Aliexpress etc but what they really want and need are sales people marketing their products to Western companies and potential sales partners. Selling into the West without sales partnerships is very challenging. I am willing to produce honest and accurate technical and user reviews of a product but I will not be used as a free salesman or “agent”. I truly hope that this is not the case with Cecilia’s company as I have first hand experience of how this works out for such companies….. in short, that marketing strategy fails.Fraser

content: wow so much secret here pfff seriously dissapointingnot able to tell things at first another going nowhere thread not worth it@Fraser with due respect, you are not the one who should tell things or vouch for her, this Cecilia person should do the talking and present things correctly, and say right away USA market etc ...We are not here to play or guess ... presentations should be done better than that, if they are a starup as they say, they would not work in secrecy, or something is fishy, cloned product etc ... or not rock solid and they are afraid of somethingAnd yes this markething strategy is a failif i was a mod i would close this thread

content: This Reviewer request by Cecilia has proven to be a waste of time. I should have known better after my bad experience with Infiray. Back into the shadows I go. Lots of thermal cameras and electronics to repair ….. a much better use of my time.Fraser

content: I would have been interested in the thermal imaging, but...Quote from: Cecilia on December 09, 2023, 01:19:21 am.... I could see that coming.While understandable to a point, all the mystery does raise an eyebrow which means if I were to be able to take this further, it would be with guarded interest.Quote from: Fraser on December 09, 2023, 07:53:28 pmThis would be my concern.

content: Probably time to call it quits on this one, 50/50 it's a scam of some sort. Let's face it, the chinese rarely turn out to be honest in these sorts of things and the secrecy is a concern.
