If you know you need to cut a hundred trees to foot-long logs in a certain time-frame, you don't pick the new fancy gadget you just got from Kickstarter. You know, the one with a WiFi notification system and a cloud SaaS service etc.

You go with a regular hand-saw, axe and a proper chainsaw. You'll get your stuff done - on time and on budget. You might not get the thrill of using the latest and greatest tools, but you'll get paid.

After that you can grab the Solar/Hydrogen-powered Indiegogo-funded whizbang and go test in on a tree or two on your own time.
