Just wondering if anyone has any experience with them, got one, etc.

I had been eyeing the Revopoint brand but keep hesitating on buying. I don’t know anyone that has one and really would like to get more feedback. The Amazon reviews seem decent enough.

I am looking for something that can scan objects about hand size or larger and that I can walk around the object scanning. I don’t want to be limited to sticking the object on a scanning mat or turntable. I’m not going to be scanning minis (eg Warhammer). I do use the iOS and OSX platforms.

Maybe what you want is actually a phone app? I can't give specific recommendations, but I know there are apps that will attempt to reconstruct a model from photos taken at different angles.

The word for that is photogrammetry. With this word you can look up for foss and non foss solutions. Some seem to work really fine.
