It's got to be a fake at that price.

I bought all my QuantuMike's from the same seller, they're genuine

It's got to be a fake at that price.

I watched some YouTube video on how to spot the fake ones.

Interesting the photo is not high quality, you can't see the whole box or the battery wrapping clearly which are major giveaways.

@daedalusminos , do you have photos of the box ? Or battery wrapping ?

Seems half price, but the sellers got 100% reviews ?

 

[Barking Mat]

It was this video.

I'm not even sure the QuantuMike are being forged? I have the box, but not the battery wrapper

I'm just sharing information.

The chinese fakes are really really hard to spot now.

I wouldn't risk my cash.

All my mitutoyo has come from MSC or H Roberts

 

[optima21]

yeah not all fakes are as easy to spot as mine

All my new Mitutoyo stuff came from H.Roberts, but all I've bought new is a micron resolution DTI.

I am really tempted, I've wanted a Quantumike for years...

I spent a year dealing with Chinese fakes.

They are very good, even down to the “authentic” paperwork

Gotta know where to look for the finer details with stuff like this

Personally, I wouldn’t trust the Chinese with anything

if you are unsure and dont want to pay mit money buy a chinese digital mic they are adequate for most people

I often double check with my Lidl vernier calipers, just to confirm I'm not an idiot.
