We have the non-auto system. When looking at the it I saw a YouTube video.
When the guy said the system sometimes has to be recalibrated I said not while i am trying to set up.
So I have the less expensive Manual System. I pull in look at my levels that I placed next to the key pad. I can quickly determine which jack need to go down to level me up and then I drop another one, complete the leveling all within 10 seconds, walk away happy as a lark. I don't need or want an automatic system.
I am also sick of use a damn cell phone foe everything in life. Just drop in water and you are screwed. HaHa!
All kidding aside the BigFoot is a great system without spending a lot of $.
As the added value. Yes someone will be excided when buying your rig, but it will add half of what you are spending, but the joy of setting up is worth 10X the cost.

The bigfoot system mostly works but mine has a couple issues. The first, which I had them check and got a “ unable to reproduce” on is that it occasionally ( randomly) flips the breaker. It seems to happen when the front goes to full extension on auto level. It doesn’t do it when I manually fully extend the front to aid getting my motorcycle on and off rear rack.

The second is that the auto leveler pretty much sucks. It often lifts some wheels off the ground. Most of the time I can do much better manually. I have a big level with lights I put on the floor. It pretty much agrees with the lights on the level controller.

Their auto system often seems to activate the wrong jacks based on what needs to come up from the lights.
