are you saying your set up with 4 cameras is better than the set up with 2 lasers?
Dont want to have a go at other products but Laser technology is from the 90's but a lot of manufacturers still sell that sort of equipment but only Hunter own the Patent to the 4 camera system.
The problem with lasers is they cant read under lower vehicles with side skirts or deep bumpers and read left to right and dont allow for thrust angles, bent rims or measuring each wheel independantly against the chassis.
They also cant compensate for different wheel or tyre sizes and to give you an idea of the level of technology - the best of the rest "John Bean" systems are around £12k to buy & we had little change out of 30k plus they made sure that our floor is level to within +/- 5mm.

We have 4 cameras on a fixed mast and receivers put onto each wheel rim.
We measure camber, caster, front and rear toe (tracking) and we can also see if the chassis is twisted as we measure the thrust angle too.

We put a new R8 V10 on ramp last month after fitting a Milltek - 54 miles on clock and it was out of tolerance by a surprising amount.....he was not a happy bunny but called later to say the car handled better than ever and off to Audi to have a "word"

Happy to do deals for members and you should save the cost of the alignment in tyre wear over 12 mths but you gain the benefit of a perfect handling car.
