Can Trampa now setup some Europe based warehouse or make something else, Trampa being in the UK is kinda a hassle with you guys using both UPS and having import tax within europe.

There is no import tax to Europe. Only VAT is added, which would be added in any case. Coming from Europe you pay no VAT to us but only on import. With Trampa being in Europe you would pay VAT to us. No difference…
You can’t avoid paying VAT.

Very cool tech, but has anything been done to improve the connectivity from the original Wand? I admit I haven’t been following Wand stuff closely, so I might have missed something.
(Yes, I know this issue has been contentious in the past, but seems relevant to address.)
Thanks.

We have the NRF52840 receiver and the NRF52840 with external antenna option in the shop.
The first receivers had a NRF with lower dB rating. Those are phased out since quite a while now.

This is not accurate.
Apart from VAT depending on how much the product costs you have to pay import duties.
If the goods are shipped with a courier company such as UPS, FedEx etc you will also get charged brokerage fees which can easily exceed the value of the product.
Europe doesn’t charge import duties from UK in most cases. That was part of the brexit deal. Fees from the courier is a thing, but we can’t avoid that. Being a small company we can’t have two distribution outfits and a lot of the customers sit distributed around the globe anyway… So however you do it, it is never perfect for the customer. If we would be located in Europe all out UK customers would cry.

Using Royal mail would solve a lot of issues at least in my case.
Royal mail doesn’t pick up and it can’t be integrated into our system. So we have to drive to a post office and then manually transfer all the tracking. Not manageable really.

No time for that Brian, too busy trying to find parts on their own website.

Thank you for informing me of your magnetic field remote design Mr. Trampa. I have scheduled a meeting for tomorrow with my engineers in Shenzen to discuss how we can best completely copy your design & manufacture bringing to large market at most affordable price.
Best,

“We chose to use standard AAA batteries, ….Two tiny AAA cells are good for 30 hours of constant operation. AAA cells are available at gas stations…”
I tend to agree. Maybe unpopular. Arguably a strength of the mini remote too with AA.
@Trampa was the v1 lipo powered?

No, it uses AAA batteries too and this feature is awesome.
I use sanyo eneloop rechargeable batteries in it so have the best of both worlds.

Was always on 2 x AAA. I also use rechargeable AAAs and they last for ages.

Jeff Wu, wasn’t that the Neobox guy?
Its fairly easy to convert to a single 18650 or a lipo. You can get a 3-3.3v regulator+lion 1S breakoutboard from ali for dirt cheap.
3d print a new enclosure and you’re home.
Got a bill from UPS the other day, charging me for exactly that. An european warehouse would be very much appreciated.
But it was done already by you guys? I ordered several times by royal mail.
