What was the first impression of the satellite system Campingman Portable Eco?
„In relation to a satellite suitcase antenna 30cm relatively large. Otherwise stable with a soft plastic cover.“
How do you like the look and workmanship of the satellite system and components?
„Workmanship made a good impression at first glance. It looked very valuable. However, it is a bit bulky for mobile use. But relatively light in return.“
How easy did you find it to set up the test device?
„The test device was very easy to put into operation. First tested at home on the balcony. Connection to the TV. With the app Sateliten Pointer the Satelit checked for clear view and TV switched on. After about 3 minutes the TV Bedient that he does not go into standby. After about 2 more minutes came a super BIld. Impressed ! In the second use in the Black Forest vacation the same procedure and after about 3-5 minutes also a trouble-free picture“
How well does the automatic satellite finder work?

How do you rate the weight and dimensions of the satellite system Campingman Portable Eco?
„Weight okay. Dimensions are a bit bulky for mobile use.“
Have you noticed a change in reception quality in different weather conditions?
„It was tested in sunshine and rain - heavy rain. In relation to mobile SAT cases, the signal on the Megaman was always more consistent on all channels. Only in cloudburst-like rainfall did pixelation occur. DVB-T is then only an alternative here.“
Would you recommend the product to others?
„I would recommend this product. Very easy to use for laymen, if the view is clear and the satellite position is known. But this is no problem with common apps nowadays
“
How do you rate the price-performance ratio? (UVP 799,- €)
„I am not sure I would have purchased the product for this price. Surely this is an enormous relief for not technician experienced. Especially since here really only the cable for the antenna connection is needed. But a SAT case you get today already for 50-70 € teilweisse with SAT level device. Since you can also take the time of 10 min as a technician experienced to align this by hand“
Overall impression:
„A great intelligent device. It can be put into operation without much effort. Whether the RRP is proportionate here, everyone has to weigh it up for themselves. Especially since you always have to reckon with thieves at this value of the antenna. This can be secured by a chain. However, this would have to be near a pole or similar. Big advantage to firmly installed automatic antennas, is the possibility with forest places a clearing to visit and to use nevertheless the advantages of the antenna. Here you then need a cable extension, if the supplied 10m is not enough“
