I really feel uncomfortable that none of the officials is replying here. Although I already have the Chronos 2.1 here. What, if some minor part breaks? Will this be a total loss then?
I don't understand Krontech. It is obvious that if I would being interested in buying a camera and then stumble upon such a thread in the companies forum discussing whether a company is still in business and this thread is completely ignored by the company, I wouldn't invest some thousands of dollars having the feeling the camera maybe never arrives and the money is just gone.
What's going on at Krontech?
Well, as much as i share your point of view from waiting for my allready paid camera for quite some time longer than expected and not allways getting an reply instantly, i am also not really sure what i would even write if i had to put any kind of official reply in such a thread if i was Krontech. For sure, some of their decision are somewhat Questionable, and would absolutely have liked (and still to this day) to get some information earlier or at all, but keep in mind, they are still a company, and any kind of official statement about stuff like this could backfire very hard at any point, so if i where them, i would absolutely take my time with some stuff to not make bad mistakes. Also, they actually dont have to reply at all, if they really wanted to. Just look at any other camera Company, you will find people somewhere talking bad things about them, if you search long enough, so what. People still buy their stuff, or find something better. Good luck with that in terms of Highspeed Cameras though... even if they quit as of today for whatever reason, they would still have survived crazy long for beeing a kickstarter initially, and also a company that really delivered what they promised and more, compared to so much others that didnt even come Close to finishing their prototype after Collecting all the money....
And i dont really get why most people here seem so sure, that Krontech Will go / is in danger of going out of bussiness? Sure, ecconomy isnt great at the moment, but that also doesnt mean that every company will just die instantly. They are as of now sending cameras out just as fast as they can possibly, from my personal experience and anyone i talked to, the big delay in the last month was not from them Having trouble selling Cameras or anything about money, but Parts Shortage. From what i can see its more like the opposite, they right now have way more demand than they can produce. As i said allready, it sure had been a lot more relaxing for me and a lot of other people if they where more open about the delays, image-Quality problems and more, but nobody except them knows the reasons why they put out / keep certain informations, who knows what else is going on behind the scenes, they might have very good reasons why they do it exactly like this, and i guess they would propably do it differently if they thought they knew a better way of doing it. (a wise saying where i live goes something like this: (roughly translated from German:) You cant look inside someone elses Head / Heart)
