Walabot DIY2 Unboxed, Reviewed and Compared Against Cheaper Alternatives

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.

How old is your phone. I know it is older than my iPhone 12 Pro…may explain your connectivity…
