N1: USB is not active [hardware defect]

We tested as good as we can. But there will always be things we didn't find. If you found things that apparently don't work as they should, you can report them here so we can take care of them as soon as possible.

Oh no,
I'm sorry.
We'll send you a new cable today - we did test the Unleashed here, and it showed no problems.

can you test your Camera's USB port? ie use some software to tether the camera?

Thanks already and sorry for the trouble.

Thanks, just got the two cables.

Sorry to say...the app still shows on both cameras (D800+D3) the same....USB is not active

I still suspect the N1, for me only possible point of failure...

Edit: To eliminate software issues on my iPhone 6+ (iOS 12.4.7) I also reinstalled the app...to no avail!

The new N1 just arrived and ...Problem solved!
Worked straight with my "old" cable!

Big Thankyou to Foolography to replace a kickstarter N1 ( I know what that means...no buy, no warranty) after 19 months!

What should I send back to you? old N1+MicroCable you sent to me?

I'm very glad it's working!!

Sure, send back the Unleashed and any duplicate cable you have.

Please send it to
Foolography GmbH
Liselotte-Herrmann-Str. 36
10407 Berlin


You can just send it as a letter in a padded envelope, no need for packaging or DHL - it's broken anyway ;-)

Have a good weekend, and enjoy your Unleashed!
