And I responded with this:


Hi [Redacted],

I hope all is good. I am going to wait on the release of this camera before I buy another camera. I don’t think Matterport offer is that great in all Honesty. For me to get agents to buy more of these tours, I have to sell them cheaper. In order to do that, I would need to buy an additional camera at a price closer to $2000 in order to justify the purchase of another camera.

If $2000 was the price of a second camera (to a current operator) that already purchased a camera for $4000, then I would purchase another from you right now.

I don’t think that Matterport has its multiple camera pricing correct for them to sell more cameras to operators that run this as a business as opposed to Realtors that buy them for their own use.

This new IRIS360 Pro camera appears to be a much higher resolution at 12K and a much lower price at only $2899. Of course, we have yet to see its delivery platform, which is why I am waiting.

Dont know if this email is worth passing up to your bosses for their client feedback.

Regards
