The red one is the fake one ( s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DDEPXYp ) and the Black one is the genuine one (buy: amzn.to/2Xviudm ) Update: I was wrong for saying theres no difference between them. The genuine on is better quality and has a nicer fit and finish and packaging. I fully encourage supporting the original creators.

[@PackingLess]

@@Countrylifeprojects I guess selling on aliexpress doesnt cost much factory direct, whereas heroclip have a website and store / invantory and warehousing costs to maintain. Also there are small differences between the clips where it matters. For one the heroclip has a slightly rubberised tip for better table grip but the knock off is a hard plastic and doesn't feel as durable. But I do agree the prices are a bit higher than they could be to be more attractive and competitive.

[@angspb78]

I attached a piece of heat shrink tubing to the tip and now the hook does not slip. I don’t see the point in paying more if I can modify the carbine myself

[@Djinsoul]

​@@angspb78what luck I saw this comment. Such a great idea. I ordered the two fakes ones and was thinking how to solve the non rubberised tip problem. Thanks!

[@garrettbredell1314]

Another reason to purchase the real version is to support the original designer.

[@3204clivesinclair]

@Develen Tsai The original designer needs recoup his costs in developing the product. One of the reasons costs are highs IS fame rip offs.

[@jen7662]

@@3204clivesinclairI understand this was 3 yrs ago but while I agree artist should not be ripped off on a cheaper vs. we should also,look at the cost for the original. Is it worth the value they say it is? Or is that profit margin oversized? Take for example popular coach purses in which the name supposedly adds value vs. the actual item itself and people are paying an enormous cost for something that doesn’t have value.

[@this.is.flyboy]

I’m just curious, does the fake one has the rubberized tip

[@PackingLess]

No, it has a hard plastic tip

[@felipemldias]

Thanks for the review! Would you say the real one's rubberised feet adherence makes much of a difference?

[@PackingLess]

Not really, they're hard and firm rubber/plastic tips that dont seem to add any grip

[@felixlee4458]

Thanks for the review.. is the tip rubberized or just hard plastic ? Any different between fake n real on fiction during usage ?

[@PackingLess]

The original has a rubber tip and is slightly more grippy, the fake is just solid hard plastic

[@felixlee4458]

@@PackingLess ok thanks so much !

[@courageunitycompassi]

I have been buying less from Amazon considering how many counterfeit products they sell. If it is brand name I go to a trusted seller.

[@courageunitycompassi]

I think the reason to pay more for the real one is that the fake one stole the product from the inventor.

[@PackingLess]

Yes thank you for that. I mentioned it in my updated pinned comment and removed links to buy the fake one.

[@TanukiParis]

hi, which one is the lighter in mini version between the fake and the genuine ?

[@PackingLess]

Both the same

[@TanukiParis]

I heard the mini works with a limited amount of table tops ? what do you think about that ? maybe the small or the medium would be more polyvalent ?

[@PackingLess]

It works on all the tables I tried it on so far. I guess unless the table was super thick

[@TanukiParis]

@@PackingLess you mean the mini works with a majority of table ? no need the small or the medium so ?

[@PackingLess]

I would say so, because the hook is fairly wide and it can bend and rotate. As long as the centre of balance is on the hook whatever you're hanging with it wont fall off.

[@MJ50]

@@TanukiParis small is best size. mini is bit small imo

[@noctilucent7396]

​@@PackingLessI agree with you. I don't think the thickness of the table even matters as long as the center of gravity is right.

[@djturnz]

What is max diameter for each size hook? I'm wondering if the mini will fit over a bathroom stall door

[@PackingLess]

The mini's hook is about 1.6 inch across

[@djturnz]

@@PackingLess is that inside diameter? I'm looking for the max size bar it can be hung on.

[@PackingLess]

@@djturnz Yes thats the inner measurement

[@mikrushadesson]

hi, where did you find it on aliexpress ? cannot seem to find anything even similar

[@PackingLess]

It might have been removed

[@kd6447]

Sold. When u need to take a shit and don’t want to put ur backpack on the ground. Had some close call dropping my backpack while maneuvering around. It was like a circus.

[@PackingLess]

It is very useful as a door/stool hanger

[@9catlover]

thank you. i just got a cheap one from amazon and wondered if it was right thing to do :) very helpful video. never heard of these before but saw it on a packing trip video

[@3204clivesinclair]

Thumbs down for saying you don't see a reason for buying genuine

[@PackingLess]

I'm sorry. I was wrong for making those remarks and have since changed my mind (and removed the fake links). I fully encourage supporting the original creators and agree its better quality and nicer packaging.

[@sigmasd10]

Do you have a link to the cheaper copy?

[@PackingLess]

I cant find it on aliexpress anymore, I guess it must have been removed

[@sigmasd10]

Don't worry, the replicas are still on there...I bought 2 Mini replicas for £3.69 each with free postage. Result!

[@PackingLess]

Alf B did you find them? What did you search?

[@sigmasd10]

Yes, I found them on aliexpress...I bought two mini replicas for £3.63 each with free postage. Result!

[@sunigbiskit2904]

thanks a ton for the GOOD CONTENT

[@PackingLess]

you're welcome

[@miketorre16]

Sold on the mini for my travel tumi backpack.

[@toeneu]

One more item to the wishlist 😊

[@Chertov_Dmitrij_Andreevich]

Спасибо за обзор! Отличная вещь! Куплю себе такой же карабин!

[@BayouGusto]

You can't see why you should by the original and not the knockoff? How about because supporting the counterfeit market is wrong. Basically it's supporting theft. I realize people who sound like you think they know everything but you need to rethink this one.

[@DJ_Mozer]

I've just received my replica from Ali, and it's pretty good. Plastic is a bit rough in places, but I used a knife to remove the excess. I don't own a real, but I'd say the swivel is probably tighter than the replica. Will definitely do the job for a fraction of the price. I'm all for supporting the developer, but not at the Heroclip prices.

[@PackingLess]

I actually ordered both with my own money and (at least at the time I ordered) the price wasnt that much different between them. Either way, they are very similar but something about the genuine one is more polished and sturdy. My knockoff one also was a little rough as you mentioned. But yeh still very useful bit of gear

[@sigmasd10]

Neil I'm looking for the cheaper replica version but I can't find it...Do you have a link?
