Looking for 3 gear testers for the Stick Pic

“Hi, I am one of the inventors of the StickPic at www.thestickpic.com

For the next 3 months, Sept, Oct, Nov 2008 we will offer 3 complementary StickPic's each month to 3 qualified thepackpacker.com community members. All we ask is you try it and give us some feedback and post a review in 30 days.

We are making this offer because we are a very small company and want to get the word out about the StickPic and it's obvious and unique benefits.

Please respond only if you are a active and contributing member to the Trail Talk forum.

Thank you in advance,

Rod Java
aka SierraShade

“Only I am still trying to figure out how to use the self timer on my camera!”

“Hey can I jump on this band wagon??? I'd love to try it and as a matter of fact I was telling my friends on the Alaska Exped in July that I needed something like that! I will be backpacking in all those months! Do I qualify????”

“I have some trips coming up in Sept and Oct. Would be fun to try this out.”

“Very nifty! I would be glad to give it a try.

Psssssst... Don't give it to Spam cuz he already gets too much free stuff. hehe”

“Sign me up, I'll do it.”

“I'm in. Looks fun and functional.”

“Take this spam somewhere else.”

“looks like a pretty slick idea - good luck with it.

If you've not found 3 folks that you like, let me know. (or if you just wanted another tester)

:)”

“you should support the communities where you sell your products. that means actually PAYING for ad space and not posting on a forum you have no intention of participating in.”

“I just got an email and I'm gettin one!!! Nanny Nanny BooBoo!!! LOL!”

“Thank you to everybody who offered to help us out. It is was not my intention to spam the forum. I hate marketing spam! If I offended anybody, please accept my sincere apologies. As I mentioned, we are a small cottage business and needed your help.

If the majority of the responses are negative, I will retract my post for next month.

We did select the 3 tester for September.

Jamey Harrisson from Ellenboro NC
Sandyann from California
Creek Dancer from Virginia

Happy Trails,

“Question--will this work for an SLR digital camera?

I would love to try one out, if you think it would work. :-)”

“pinkbubelz,
The StickPic was designed for the smaller compact digital cameras. A larger SLR would work if the trekking stick was not extended very far. Then you would have to think about using one or two hands to take the shot.
Not ideal but doable.

Rod”

“In defense of Sierrashade - he had sent me a very nice email awhile back telling me about this product. I'd try it out, but I haven't figured out the self timer thing on my camera either.

This is cottage gear, people! Not some corporate entity.”

“Yea! I finally got picked for something! I am excited. Instead of picking a rock to put the camera on I can put it on my stick and don't have to break my neck trying to beat the timer with a pack on. Try that one Whitney..... =o)

“My hubsand Gissmaeioux sayed it looks like a theeng he wuld put on his red rokket - BOL!”

“Yogisan...you are so in perfect.
Just for once, why don't you just not post the negative.
It's a backpacking, day hiking toy that many may want to use . Look at the several first post, Many are interested....Duhuu”

“Refrigerator,
Congratulations, you are the first of three testers for September.

We like the idea that you are a experienced backpacker and a active trail talk member. All we ask is that try the StickPic and give us some
feedback and post a review in approximately 30 days.


Tell us your mailing address and what brand, make and model sticks you use.


The complementary StickPics we send out are production 2nds with very minor logo imprinting flaws, otherwise completely functional.


If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me,


Happy trails,


Rod Java

Thanks! Hope to test!”

“Why are you so mean to me fridge? I never did anything to you but that one sentence joke I posted, and I apologized publicly and in a personal email reply (that you ignored) to a taunting message you sent me. I use this board too and am entitled to my opinion. I wasn't the only one that objected to this vendors spam and I never said anything about the product or people who wanted to be beta testers. I may be in perfect but I have feelings too.”

“I still don't have a decent shot of me...

'32oz”

Hmmmm... if I knew 32oz at all well, I wouldn't be able to resist that set up.”

“Awe now Yogi ya got me feelin sorry for ya tooo!”

“I agree with Yogisan. Being 'a small cottage business' doesn't grant you the right to break the TOS agreement. In this case, it's like stealing from Demand Media, unless they have an arrangement.

Everyone else is wrong wrong wrong.”

“a negative plus a negative equals a positive ;)”

“one more Spanky”

“i could use one of those as well, i its a pain finding a spot where spstu and i can get a decent pic of us”

“Maybe I'll let ya borrow mine sometime tater!!!”

I just read the Terms of Use and I don't see a violation in this thread. Looks to me like it is plain and above board.”

“Backpacking site this is...uhhh if anything promotes GEAR, TRAILS, INFO on anything that has to do with backpacking ....bring it on..... PERIOD.
All they want to do is test there product and as soon as I unvail my new TENT and Backpack line , I will be looking for TT Testers.....”

“I'll do pack testing for you.... but I can't do tent...”

“Nice product! Good luck!”

“Sounds like a device for people with a big ego, wanting to have their own picture! It should sell well around here.”

“Well said fridge!”

“PROHIBITED CONTENT

You must not post to the Service any Content that, as reasonably determined by TheBackpacker.com, is or appears to be:

unsolicited, undisclosed or unauthorized advertising”

“it wasn't advertising.... sheesh... and what's your beef... if the Corporate folk don't take exception... why are you going on?”

“"reverend" it IS advertising. You can't be that completely ignorant to not recognize guerrilla marketing techniques. Are you?”

“Just as ignorant as you for not recognizing there was no invitation to buy. Which still don't explain your beef..

““Just as ignorant as you for not recognizing there was no invitation to buy. Which still don't explain your beef.." - "reverend"

Ok, maybe you are too ignorant to recognize guerrilla marketing when you see it. I suggest you look it up before commenting further.”

“What's your beef? I suggest you answer the question before commenting any further...”

“What's my beef? That's kind of a gay question, don't you think? I could send you a book with diagrams.

Now what? Do you understand guerrilla marketing now?”

“Iffin this product does what it's designed to do and i like it, I plan on purchasing several and passing them out to several TTer's. Looking at these post will help me decide who gets one.”

“Looks like the guerrilla marketing has worked.”

“ok, now as much as i don't approve of this sort of spam posting i have to tell you that i read the terms of participation (before my first post on this thread) and i didn't see anything like that, hiker1984. i just looked again and i still don't see what you are referencing.”
