Has anyone found an alternative to a Tindeq? I can’t quite bring myself to part with £150ish for one and was wondering if anyone had found a cheaper alternative 

There are several alternatives to Tindeq … but I’m pretty sure they are all more expensive… nearest price wise is Entralpi force plate but this is $199 plus import duties from Canada.  Climbro is around about €700 and Beastmaker Mother board is around £350.

if you already have some weights it’s easy to make or buy a lifting edge and train fingers by lifting but this is less flexible than the above devices.

Back in the distant past before Tindeq existed, a clever technician built a similar device for me to do shoulder pain research.

The components cost very little. I'm sure plenty of folk here could rig up something similar. Getting all the components to all work together, displaying the data clearly, and packaging everything nicely is what you're paying for.

Tindeq is currently the most developed device, the cheapest, and you are not charged a monthly fee to get the most out of your data.

I had a similar thought, depending on what features you want. you can get cheep hanging scales online. some have bluetooth and cost around £20. 

best option would be to try and get your local wall to get one? if they dont already have something similar.
