Re: S4 Encoder Group Buy

We had been very interested in this encoder as well. When we received a waiver from USDigital to purchase 10 of them we were still a bit shocked at the price. Don't get me wrong. these are really nice encoders for many reason.

Ultimately we ended up ordering these encoders. They run at basically the same price, if not a bit less when bought in 10+ quantities, as these USDigital encoders from AndyMark.
Our kids destroy the EP4s because of poor handling and awareness of how delicate and fragile they are. So, hopefully, these sealed units will last a bit longer.
