Default Dose any one use this measure ??

This looks like a pretty good powder measure, has any one used it before. If so what do you think of it.

It is hardly a new and "revolutionary" design, just a cheap knock-off of the old Belding & Mull measure that dates back to the 1930s. The basic type is slow and inconvenient to use. I didn't see a price? If it is $15 or less you might want to satisfy your curiosity, but if you want a powder measure to actually use get a Redding or RCBS, it will be money well spent over the years.

Just for the basic. Plus all the extra tubes and accessories.

It doesn't appear (from the lack of replies) that anyone uses that device. I looked over the web site and it appears it is the only thing they make. For my money I would go with the tried and true from any of the major reloading folks.
RCBS, Dillon, Hornady, Lee etc etc.

Just from Sinclair there are some "similar" types.(Harrell)

I have had the 3BR for over 20 years now. I have always used the rifle metering chamber. It was so repeatable that I recorded settings by powder and graphed them in Excel. Very useful in determining settings.

I just put the handgun chamber in mine.
