| I've been mulling over the purchase of the Matterport Pro2 camera vs the Pro2Lite especially with the $200 discount (EXPIRES DEC 31st, 2018) I've been very satisfied with the original Matterport and was only interested when a third party was offering jobs only if I used a Pro2 camera. After a bit of research, it comes down to the math. I have the $99 plan which offers 7 free scans per month. So if the ProLite costs an addl $29 per scan ($58 for 101 and larger) at seven scans per month, I would incur an additional $203 per month. Over a year period, using the Pro2Lite would cost me an addl $2520. So the math looks like this - Pro2 @$3395 Pro2Lite @ $2495 - add $2520 - net cost - $5015 Thus there's a penalty of $1620. I doubt if a collaborator would desire someone to use a Pro2Lite on their account at the $29 scan price. So I figure at 5 to 7 low end jobs, I can get the Pro2 paid off quickly. There may be some upside in marketing of a Pro2 camera over other providers. As a architectural photographer, I'm not sure of the quality of the stills, so that remains to be seen. Also keep in mind, the $200 offer expires TODAY December 31. There is a FED ex charge ($55 for me); the cameras are in stock and there is a 30 day return policy. So if January rolls around, and there's another promotion, I'm told that I would keep the camera and my account plan would receive a credit. Hope this helps! Happy scanning and I'm wishing you all the profitable* work you can handle for 2019! *don't give away your work* |

Bingo. Pro-2 Lite is a terrible deal if you do the math  And it looks kinda silly.I think they wanted to hit a certain price point as a marketing stint. https://www.spar3d.com/news/hardware/matterport-hits-2495-new-pro2-lite/ |

| Yep! “Oh it’s just $10 more per scan.” Factor in the credits and the math is like... Rent to Own pricing. | ||
