Sigh! Now I wish I had waited two months before buying my nF. The 3D version would have been so much better for my work.

Dear Adam,

We have a misunderstanding.

The nano3D does not obsolete the nanoFlash in any way!

It enhances it.

The nano3D consists of two regualar nanoFlashes + a nano3D kit.

The nano3D kit consists of some special cables to connect two nanoFlashes together, a special mounting bracket, and a larger capacity AC power supply, and a special firmware release.

If you have nanoFlash serial number 1 all of the way up to the latest one that we built, it can be used as one of the nanoFlashes in a nano3D setup.

We have not obsoleted the nanoFlash in any way.

Each and every nanoFlash has RS-232 and RS-485 communication hardware built in. One of the cables allows for each nanoFlash to communicate with the other.

There is no reason to sell a nanoFlash and buy a nano3D. If you want a nano3D, get a second nanoFlash and a nano3D kit and you will have the same as a nano3D.

Thus, a nano3D consists of two regular nanoFlashes plus the nano3D kit. Only those starting without a nanoFlash should purchase a nano3D. Everyone else should purchase a second nanoFlash (if needed) then the nano3D kit.

At anytime, a nano3D can be separated into two separate nanoFlashes.

This may sound like a naive question but does it mean that nano3D can work with only one camera?

Dear Darak,

The nano3D can work with two cameras in 3D mode, or a special 3D camera that has two HD-SDI or HDMI outputs.

In Redundant Recording Mode it works with one camera.

Also, High Quality/Proxy Mode it works with one camera.

Asking for compensations it doesn't sound well for me, even if is just joking
I've paid for my NANO even before being fully designed and I feel 100% satisfied with what I've got.
I really don't care about what new NANOs may have. Mine records great and i feel privileged
What I would like to get from CD is a "CERTIFICATE of EARLY ADOPTER" that shows that I had faith in the CDs team and helped a little to the development of this wonderful machine.

That's good to hear. Thanks, Dan!

....Perhaps you could also include each purchaser of the Flash XDR in that group, since it was The First Period. ;-)

EDIT: Oh yeah, and we paid more money ;-)
