This was by far the best unboxing video I have seen of this product to date. To Wand, this has been well worth the wait. I’m ready to pounce on the pre-order. Well done! I would also like to suggest a companion product, the medical handheld scanner! Maybe conduct a survey after this products launch to gauge interest and project if scanner is financially beneficial to Wand.
Sounds good
I thought he mentioned something about the potential for McCoy's hand held medical scanner in Adam Savage's Tested video.
@@flashgordon6238 he said people van use one they make or other companies.
@@flashgordon6238 He did, indicated it could be stored in the bottom storage compartment. Sure they're already working on it.
I'm personally grateful that you've waited to get the product right instead of rushing it. Your other two Star Trek products are outstanding, and this has been worth the wait.🖖
Awesome!
I wish they would re-release the phaser i missed out but i love the communicator, i carry it from time to time just to annoy my family.
@@pattimcb31 I love the phaser and the communicator.
I'm not enough of a Star Trek fan to buy one of these, but by god, the workmanship, skill, thought, attention to detail and tech that has gone into this is really admirable. I could definitely see a ST fan proudly buying one of these. Chris should be working for companies like Tesla or Apple. Can't emphasis how impressed I am with this and his work.
I agree
I've lived long enough to see a lovingly created, functional, in-universe where it matters, original series Tricorder. Masterpiece. Visuals, sounds, everything simply incredible. I am losing my mind - Kudo's Well Done and I can't wait to get my own to match my Phaser and Communicator counterparts. THANK YOU for the time, effort, and love invested into this "project" - you've made the dreams of many a Trekkie come as true as possible!! Waiting for this Tricorder to complete was the only "logical" decision. Glad you made it!
Are you getting one?
@@YourGeekFix Are you KIDDING?! A HIGHLY Illogical question…I am ABSOLUTELY getting one!
@@joshellis5014 LOL
Easily the most impressive Star Trek prop I've ever seen.
I agree!
Imo it's still the communicator! This is great but that Starfleet communicator that will Blu tooth to your phone is still the best
@@paulpolpiboon9535 ok
Oh I so getting two of these!!!! This HAS TO BE THE BEST REPLICA...WORKING REPLICA EVER PRODUCED!!! Amazing!!! Can't wait!!!! Thanks for a great review!!!
agree- off too the blood bank for me- lol
Thank you!
@@captproton1015 lol

The Wand Company is amazing. If it were possible (and it is not), I would probably buy everything they make. Thank you for sharing.
I understand
That is unbelievably cool!!! Absolutely incredible!
Too true.
Thankfully, this video showed up in my Recommended List as I had totally forgotten about this product.
After watching, I immediately registered for their Pre-Order List of interest on The Wand Company's main page online and received a Comfirmation Certificate... so, hopefully I will now know exactly when this goes up for sale. 😊
@canadaphil6068 awesome. Subscribe and we'll update you.
As I approach the end of my natural life span, those things that fueled my imagination are coming to corporeal reality. AI has brought me a computer I can speak to in natural language. Now, a mechanism that represented what would evolve into the modern portable computer is manifest. Only someone who waited the full sixty-plus years to see this can fully appreciate the catharsis it brings. My sincere compliments to The Wand Company, where fantasies are made real.
Thanks for the comment
I second this. Absolutely amazing
Yes, all us of the sixties generation who looked forward to the technological age where this stuff would be a reality, and much of it really is, although they're still having a bit of trouble with the transporter, actually a fair bit of ST tech is now real, like mobile phones, directed energy weapons, computers, contactless medical diagnosis, the scriptwriters i believe consulted widely among the scientific community for ideas on what was feasible in the future, they were mostly right.
@monteceitomoocher too true!
I'm retiring soon. I've come to realize how important science fiction is to mankind. Where would we be now without the dreamers?
I look forward to getting a Tricorder after waiting all this time to finally see it's not far away now.May the Wand Company Live Long and Prosper 🖖
Awesome!
And I noticed that you’re the only one that showed it going by electrical outlet and showing that feature so hats 🎩 off to you
Thanks
The fact that it actually reads radiation is off the chart! I would suggest it come shipped with a film cover on the screen for those who want to display it to keep dust & elements from scratching it. I appreciate the laid back & informative presentation.
Good point
This is awesome. I've got the phaser and the communicator, didn’t even know this was a thing. Thank you for the video, I'm heading to your website right now to register for notifications!
Sweet!
This looks AMAZING! The only question: When is the preorder open?!?
Waiting to see. Hoping at the end of the summer.
kay, I’ve always scratched my head about the obsession around the kislux book totes and their practicality, but this one is adorable!! Congratulations
@@ratkaelzey very confused
I can't wait to order one. I really hope they go into the TNG Era with trek props next. The level of quality to cost they deliver is incredible.
@@shugghead8538 me either
Excited it’s finally coming; been. Following the development the entire 4-5 years.
Awesome
Found this while looking for Christmas ideas for my dad. Doesn't seem like it will be available by then, but might have to nab for a late Christmas present / 2025 Christmas present. Thanks for sharing!
@@saubie good luck!
I registered my interest ages ago. I can't wait to order my. The Tricorder is remarkable! "Whata machine".
I love it. The thought process and how you have made it function so bloody well.
One thing to really complete the tricorder is "Dr McCoy's Medical Scanner," with sound function. It would finish the piece perfectly.
I've seen prop makers make them and post them up on RUclips.
Again, I can't wait for the preorder email.
Glad to hear it!
I agree re Dr McCoy’s medical scanner. I just registered for the Tricorder.
@@FernandoRodriguez-kl3oc cool
Jeeze. They just took all my caps, and now they're gonna get all my Federation Credits, too.
Lol
@@YourGeekFix I'll buy it for that 0 euro Picard bank note
@@MassiveDMG lol
Lol
It should be free. Star Trek doesn’t use money. lol
This is what I have been waiting for!!😊
Good
To have all 3 (communicator, phaser, tricorder) next to each other will be awesome!
Finally, my Wand Star Trek trio of goodies will be complete! Already made up my mind that I want to display it with the engineering screen active. I'm glad they took their time to get it right, because now it will perfectly compliment the phaser and communicator.
Very cool!
Grown men acting like a couple of kids. I LOVE IT!! 🫡
True
Oh my ever loving God! What have you done! That Tricorder is freaking amazing. Wow so many features the captain's logs holy moly. Now I have to ask what is the incredible astronomical ridiculously high un attainable price point for this wonderful wonder of scientific achievement?
Chris said the target is $350.00
@@JiminSTLouis Tree fiddy! Damn you Lochness monster.🤣
350 or 400.
The word out is about $300.00. Heck, I will pay it, just to get my hands on this beauty!
@@Aranjuez44 350-400 but worth is.
Been anxiously waiting for this review, and can't wait to order my own Tricorder as soon as it becomes available. Bought the Master Replicas version years ago but was disappointed by its lack of electronic features. It wound up getting stolen (along with my MR Phaser and Communicator props) and this will be the perfect item to replace it. Well done!
Awesome!
How was ur trek stuff stolen? Sounds like someone you know...knew what you had
@@user-dk3up2nl1m They were in a storage unit along with about $20K worth of other rare collectibles and hundreds of action figures I'd bought since I was a child. They took everything, and the police did nothing to investigate. Discovering the theft was one of the most painful experiences of my life.
@@user-dk3up2nl1m yeah!
Ooh glad to catch this video a little early, love this stuff! The detail is so sleek and nice
Thanks for watching
OK wand company you guys did a reissue of the communicator now do a reissue of the phaser so we can have the full set PLEASE!!!!
Did they reissue the communicator.
@@YourGeekFixyes! 😊 they did reissue the communicator!
@@nelsonc6173 interesting. I wonder which version I have.
@@YourGeekFix yes thats how i got mine you might even be able to get it
@@mrhay2u not sure which mine is.
I just registered to get updates on this! $350 may be a stretch for me, I'm not sure, but it is not crazy expensive. The cool factor alone is over the top and then you have real world functionality on top of that! I have to have one!
I also signed up to get notified about the Star Trek Communicator when it is back in production. We would not have cell phones today had it not been for Star Trek.
Understood
I have the communicator and the phaser, so I'll be getting this! I can't wait for the wand company to come out with the transporter device next!!!
@@MarkLewis... same
I saw the Adam Savage unboxing as well and Wand is only taking interest registrations at the moment.
This will be Trek GOLD when it’s released.
@@Rockin_Ross true
I have to say that I'm extremely impressed by this video and product. Though I'm currently not in a position to purchase one, I'm seriously considering doing so in the future. "Wand Company" has truly stayed faithfully stick to the "Star Trek: TOS's" Tricorder. Thank You So Much For Posting This Video! ❤
Thanks
THIS is what Gene Roddenberry wanted for the show! The Wand Company did it for you, Gene!
True
Gene did it all for us, and they paid tribute.
@@russellmusictv4403 true
Men when their wives think they’re cheating on them 😂
OK
I have one kislux bag I got in 2019, it's the LV white catogram speedy. It's counter quality and it has a nice honey patina now, so the leather is real. I think whatever makes you happy go for it. I've seen LV with plastic leather and blood red glaze...
@@ratkaelzey ok
Very cool, Thanks, Been a Trek fan since the beginning.
Cool
I am in love. Take my money ... PLEASE.
Lol!
I can't wait to get my hands on this! The only thing I wish it did would be to playback video (MP4, WMA, etc) through a flash drive or card, or through streaming. But hey, that's what my phone/tablet is for. I love this company, and I have the phaser and communicator and they've provided great customer service when I've had issues with my communicator. Love the attention to detail and quality!
True. Yeah, some limitations for video. But can record sound.
another amazing replica from The Wand Company...wow...
I agree
If Wand reads this for any reason, please add Vulcan, the Klingon and Romulan's home words to the planetary section. Maybe even a bunch of planets from the show. Would be a nice edition besides just or solar system.
We'll see.
I am in the first 300 in line for this. Been waiting for a few years and it finally is going to happen! To make sure I am not lost in the pile from 2019, I reregistered my interest today.
You have a certificate.
Looks wonderful! I am hoping that the scanning audio will be included. Such a big feature of the tricorder.
Yup
The captains log is GOLD!
Ok
I don't even watch star Trek and I want this XD
Ya me to lol
That's funny
Lol
I already have the communicator by the Wand Company and cannot wait for this to come out. I have signed up, and $350 is a small price to pay for Trek Lore right in my hands.
Cool
It would be great if he just once demonstrated how it looks simply scanning something like on the series.
Stay tuned.
The quality and detail is out of this world (pun intended)
Lol
(Insert "TAKE MY MONEY!!!!" Gif here)
Lol
Look awesome. If they apply this level of detail and technology to TNG-era props, I'll be first in line to order.
I agree. I don't know the wand company plans to get into the next series.
That thing is so COOL! 😎😂
I agree
This looks spectacular and a great way to use modern tech to make very old future tech. BTW, when he said he couldn't remember what episode Edith Keeler was in I couldn't help but picture nerds in the UK yelling "It was Guardian at the Edge of Forever, ya useless ponce!"
Funny thing is... That's the final title, not the original one tied to the media they got from the achieve. This is why the label reads different as well. How's that for never before known Star Trek info. Also, did you know the script changed as well.
Yes, I know about the previous script. Different enough that maybe it was considered for a totally different episode! But there was drug use and drug dealing officer characters on board the Enterprise and that just wasn’t going to fly so the re-write was a foregone conclusion. The original is worth a read though!
@@ScottBarrettihq yup
SUPERB !!!!’
Nice job
@@Cyborg5032 thanks
Very nice touch including city on the edge of forever tricorder footage 🥇
Yup
The episode is "City On The Edge Of Forever" written by Harlan Ellison
So, the episodes are the way they were in the archieve before music was added.
It appears that Wand Co. obtained the voiceover dialogue tracks before the diegetic music was added.
@@RodJay yes. Which chris said was not easy. They don't have a sound archieve. Paramount had to go into each episode media and pull it for them. This was a huge undergoing.
@@YourGeekFix I know that personally because I used to do film to video dubs in the TV studio I used to work at!
@@RodJay Cool
Just amazing IMHO
Thanks
I am nerding out!
@@justimagine2403 great!
2/2 on videos, Pip-boy, and now this. I've been waiting for a video on this.
Sweet!
Hey, thanks for providing another awesome video to watch. I love watching your videos. I wish I had the connection to get some of this cool stuff on my RUclips channel as well. Lucky Lucky you anyways awesome job as always.🎉
I just checked out your channel. Very cool!
@@YourGeekFix really thank you 😊
I don't suppose it comes with a small plug to hide the USB port for when you're out on the field? When not being displayed, it'd be nice to complete the seamless look.
I think that would be a good idea
I'm impressed. Can't wait to get mine. Looks like it is worth the wait.
True
Does the "planetary" function have actual planets from the show and from our actual solar system? That would be awesome.
Our actual solar system and planets from the series.
I like it that would be a great birthday present for me 🎈❤ and I'm only missing the second season
@@jeus2884 ok
I have the phaser and comunicater ,just need this to finish my collection, fantastic job from the wand company 😊
I agree
i’m definitely gonna get one of these when they become available, already signed up :3
Sweet
What, no camera for photos and videos? I'll wait for the next version. But, cool as hell, and thanks for the video!
There was no camera on the one in the show.
@@YourGeekFix Actually that might not be true. In (The Next Generation) there was an episode where Jordi had his DNA changed and he became an alien to the planet he was on. They were videotaping the away mission to discover an extra shadow on a wall different from the away team. So what did the recording? It was a tricorder. Yes, I get it, TNG is not TOS however, in either period it's safe to assume that the tricorder had a camera.
@@jroar123 That was TNG, not TOS tricorder
The archival footage is from the episode The City on the Edge of Forever with Joan Collins as Edith Keeler.
@@makeminefreedom yup
three suggestions to add .. 1 wireless charging 2 pair with cellphone 3. turn the discs into flash memory that connects via magnet on right side so with an adapter one could transfer info like music video etc
You should make that
I gotta start saving my latinum again
Incredibly cool, I just registered for one. Can't imagine the price, but I'll worry about that later.
Me too
What you talkin bout Willis 😂😂😂
@@lesjones5684 ok
Very nice product.
Thanks
@@YourGeekFix for local communication during an EMP storm I recommend using a HAM radio that functions with glass tubes. Solid State and digital communication rsdios will be destroyed by an EMP storm. I strongly recommend for companies to start making new versions of this old style tube radio.
There will be a large profit incentives for obvious reasons influenced by the FALL⚡OUT television show & video game. It's a practical SURVIVALIST tool.
@@unitedstatesirie7431 ok
The EM detector kicks ass. The tricorder can detect ghosts
This is so cool!!!!!! I know what I will wish for, for Christmas (or my Bday).
Cool!
I love this so much. I am on board to have one. I have so many Tricorders already this will get to be in the front. I hope the other ones don’t get jealous 😅🖖
Lol
Yes the color of the kislux is beautiful and it is a great decision, maybe one day they will add feet and straps. It would be nice to have a bigger bag during the colder months when we have to store gloves, beanies, scarves, etc…
I am very confused. Are you I talking about a purse?÷
Being one of the earliest registeres for this....the wait is almost over...this 57 year old man is a giddy school child being able to complete the landing party set...
Awesome!
The episode that you're referring to with Edith Keeler was "City on the Edge of Forever". It made me giggle because I already knew that without looking it up.
Cool
I love this. I hope they re-release the phaser. I want one.😢
Me too
Bout time . I been on that list for years.
Me too.
@@YourGeekFixI just joined the list. You get a cool certificate too!
@MassiveDMG I didn't get a certificate@
The record feature will be good as you will be able to record what you like on it, such as the theme tune or even your favourite audio from the series, and if you put it on the stand on a shelf, you can put the audio spectrum setting on and then when you listen to music it will react to the sounds. That will look really cool and should impress any visitors.
@@Si-ew3ff true
Awesome gotta get me one of these😀
Cool
So worth it !
I’m impressed .
I agree
🖖😎👍Very cool and very Spectacular and greatly wonderfully nicely well done in every detail way shape and format provided on and of all its actual working functions indeed, But unfortunately for those of us that are truly living on a very tight budget these days it's just too unaffordabley expensive for some of us that would truly like to be able to purchase one indeed!...
Understood.
whaaat? i totally didn't expect that.. i thought it would be like a clock at most, maybe record audio and playback, but it does a lot of little cool things
@@mikehunt9884 yea

Me too.
so funny the artists thought we'd be using CRT's and Speaker Grills in the far future. But they did embody the concept of the portable computer.
True
Here in the future we have a like the tricorder ultrasound and a laptop attached to retrieve information and medical diagnosis according to ultrasound results give it time it will be a reality maybe 20or 30 years from now but
Imagine medic having that in every ambulance scan a wand on a bruise on a accident victim and it pops on a screen 3 broken ribs punctured lung transport immediately. What a life saver .
