I had the first generation, but sold it. It had a cone of detection I found too wide and close to me, rather than being more focused and with a long range like a Mini Guide. I also found it moved too much when attached to clothing, but was too awkward to hold.

I've worked with a client who had one. He had the mounting for the cane, but it had some weird issues (unsure if there was damage or something). It would pick up most things, but then sometimes not pick up an item in front of him. Like, it didn't pick up a parked car in front of him until his cane contacted it (so it was within two feet of the vehicle).

It also didn't work too well for chain link fences.

The primary issue is that if I pin it to my shirt or jacket or whatever, it gets blocked and/or senses the folds of my clothing, rather than the environment around me. Probably has to do with cold Canadian winters and the way we dress in layers. I know a cane mounting solution was coming, but I never heard if that is available now or not.

Seems to be unnecessary and redundant if you have good mobility skills and I can just use a cane never saw the appeal or point of one of these. I don’t know why I should have one. My mobility skills are great and I can navigate well so what’s the point?
