My NN5 has just arrived..:001_smile:

[riefa]

Finally, i have NN5 in my hand...:001_smile:

Actually I bought it about 3 weeks ago via www.pano-store.de and send it to my colleagues in Berlin, and so on and so on, then hand carried by another colleague of mine (hehehe..to eliminate shipment cost for sure..:d ), and finally my NN5 reach me in Jakarta, Indonesia by today..:001_smile:

my first comment when start unpacking the package and had a quick inspection on the product was:
"...this is not a product....this is an artwork..." :biggrin:

overall, the product is as good as i see it on the website...:wink: very strong & sturdy, the finish very smooth...:wink: all and all...i'm a satisfied owner of NN5

A few notes though:
1. Inner Packaging
The inner packaging is not exactly the same as on the website. Below is the picture of the package i received:
http://i40.tinypic.com/2cx6om0.jpg
it doesn't have compartments made of hard foam (i assume) which will make it more steady & neat when packed...:wink:
I'm considering of do some DIY to create this hard foam...should be easy i think...:biggrin:...
For comparison, this is what it looks like on NN store: http://store.nodalninja.com/PhotoDetails.asp?ShowDesc=N&PhotoNumber=2&ProductCode=N5-PKG

2. Paint/coating quality
When my colleague received the product 3 weeks ago, I've asked him to do full inspection of the product including making some panos with it. He's also quite familiar with NN, not yet an owner though...:biggrin:. And somehow the lower rail had a very minor bump on the corner edge and the paint got peeled off a bit....only a bit though...not more than 4mm long and about 1mm width. There is no structural damage to the lower rail itself..only the paint...:001_smile:. Hopefully future product release will have superior paint quality...:wink:

3. Quick Reference Guide (Manual?)
I am fully aware that the full manual is available at your website and is ready to be downloaded in PDF format (i've downloaded it 2 months before i actually buy the product...:p). But in my opinion, regarding the high quality of the product itself, it would be nice to have a printed version of the manual book, just like when you buy a new camera system / lens..:wink: I am assuming that you've done this to reduce indirect production cost, but i still think a printed manual book will give more positive impact on customer satisfaction, and at the end of the day, for Fanotec anyway ..:wink:....hehehe...just my two cents though..:biggrin:

Anyway...thanks for the top quality products, and I will surely post my panos & QTVR later on..:001_smile:

BTW,
here is a dummy review made by my colleague about this particvular NN5 (its written in Bahasa Indonesia though, sorry for this, but there are some images):

and these are some panoramas of Berlin that also made by my colleague using this particular NN5:

Just my 2c

You don't need paper manual anymore.

It's tree we cut down wastefully now that there's something like pdf and smartphones.

You may even get a carbon credit for that ::001_smile:
