ThinkRider PP5 power meter, worth to try?

[Joshhogerdorn]

I was initially tempted to get the ThinkRider PP5 because it's cheap, but while doing my research, I came across Shane Miller's review（https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0CZEbVhC5w）. His real-world testing was pretty straightforward: the power meter may be low-cost, but its accuracy and consistency are not reliable, and the data fluctuates a lot at higher power levels. For me, the core of a power meter is whether the data is accurate or not. If it's not, then no matter how cheap it is, it's just money wasted. Honestly, even with a tight budget, don't compromise on the power meter. Accurate and stable data is just too important.
Any recommendations for budget-friendly power meters with accurate data?

Magene P515 is what I have and it has been great so far.  They also have a carbon crank version.

Geoid one is also reliable, as is the old magene p505, isn't it? It is not as cheap as thinkrider but cheaper than the new magene...

My recommendation is to read the forum first before starting a new pointless thread
