Hi ranftling,
Danke für deine Aufmerksamkeit und das informierende/warnende Posting!
Der Kampagnen Anbieter wurde im Projekt-Chat auch danach gefragt und hat inzwischen geantwortet und manches erklärt (s. unten).
Das muss nicht heißen, dass alles korrekt ist, macht aber schonmal einiges klarer.
Ich bin jetzt auch vorsichtig/er, obwohl sehr interessiert an dem Gerät.
Fakt ist, dass im Projekt vom Anbieter fleißig kommuniziert wird und es auch ein erstes (kurzes) Video eines Geräts gibt. Weitere sollen folgen.
Es kann, muss aber nicht der befürchtete Scam sein.
Wenn alles OK, ist es sicher ein gutes Angebot. Der Preisnachlass ist nicht unüblich bei Crowdfunding. Ich hab den JMGO N1 Ultra 4K Beamer auch 50% unter Listenpreis ge-crowded.
Also gut beobachten, aufmerksam bleiben und gerne hier weiter Infos posten und kommentieren.
Der Anbieter schreibt auf die Nachfrage eines Backers ( Zitat auf Indiegogo):

Hi Benjamin,
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We understand your concern and appreciate the opportunity to clarify the situation.
We are a company registered in the United States, and the company you mentioned, UNICO, is a Taiwan-based company called 攸尼可. Their English name is a transliteration, hence the similarity. We have no affiliation with the UNICO company mentioned on the unico.tw website. It appears there may be some confusion due to the similar names.
Our name, UNICO, is an acronym derived from the first letters of our founders' names: Uma Huang, Nora Chen, Issac Tsai, Charlie Hsu, and Owen Chang. Each of us has extensive experience working in the procurement departments of major manufacturing companies, allowing us to build strong industry connections and gain invaluable experience.
Although our entire team is located in New Taipei City, Taiwan, we decided to register our company in the United States in order to leverage Indiegogo for a series of campaigns to establish our brand. This decision was made to meet Indiegogo's requirements for project creators. The project location listed as New Taipei City, Taiwan accurately reflects where our team is based.
At UNICO, our mission is to leverage this experience and our networks to bring consumers high-quality, innovative electronic products at affordable prices. We are dedicated to sourcing the best components to create products that not only meet but exceed your expectations.
We understand the importance of quality and cost, and our deep-rooted relationships with suppliers allow us to obtain electronic components at competitive prices, which translates to savings for you. Our goal is to make cutting-edge technology accessible to everyone by providing a wide range of unique electronic products that offer great value for your money.
Thank you for your support and for choosing UNICO. We look forward to bringing you exceptional products and excellent service.
Best regards,
Uma
