The new FR5 clip still hides the adapter we ordered

I asked for our tool mounting adapter to be visible during the FR5 sample-sorting demonstration, and the seller sent a closer video with the adapter behind the tool for the entire sequence; after 45 days of trying to link a recording to our order, I am wondering whether I need to send a sketch of the camera view as well as the sample list.

A marked still helped one of our supplier arguments. Show the hidden area and ask for an overlapping view of the same sequence, not another unrelated close-up.

I've sent a marked still and asked them to show the package identity before following the fitted adapter into the sample handling, rather than cut straight to an arm moving.

Include the adapter reference from the order. A visible adapter can still be the wrong adapter, as our own package comparison taught us.

Does the current clip identify your sample pieces?

I would not make the recording request longer until they answer which part of it they cannot provide. You have already been waiting a long time.

Callum, the tray is ours but I cannot identify individual pieces; Nina Chan, I asked that directly too, because repeating the whole request has achieved very little.

Nina Chan has a point. If they say the adapter is unavailable, a better camera angle is not going to fix it.

And Sarah, check the fittings beside it. Our adapter discussion changed when the missing hose bracket finally appeared in the comparison.

They have answered: the ordered adapter is waiting for a replacement fastening set, and the video used their workshop adapter; that is the first explanation I have had.

So the clip was not the supplied assembly. Have they said when the fastening set is available?

At least you can stop trying to recognise something that was never there. Do they intend to send the agreed adapter or offer the workshop one?

They say the agreed adapter will be supplied and the replacement fastenings are available, but I have asked for the demonstration only after that complete assembly is ready.

That keeps the original scope clear. No need to accept their workshop tool simply because it is the one already in a film.

Is your sample set marked, Sarah? You can settle that while they finish their assembly.

Yes, the sample pieces have distinct IDs from our original dispatch list, and I sent photographs showing them; they were just not legible in the footage.

Then ask them to keep those identities readable. You do not need a new sample system for a camera problem.

Has the promised assembly actually been completed now?

They sent the new recording: package identity, fitted agreed adapter and marked samples all traceable through the sequence, with an overlapping side view for the hidden area; one placement still gets a hand nudge after release.

Is that nudge part of the offered process, or correcting a failed placement? Ask before treating the demonstration as complete.

They acknowledge it corrects a placement and have referred that sample to their application person; the recording finally answers identity, but I have not accepted the handling result.
