Just received my Z1 and run the demo job the software comes with.

Very pleased with the initial result.

Compared to the carvera I am glad Z1 comes with the non-wireless probe and the control soft has seen much needed polish.

Also glad to see they adopted the fan for blowing off the chips.

Next steps for me:
- fusion360 setup [done]
- get the vice on [done]
- churn the backlog of projects

Update1:
Anyone wondering about getting fusion setup working:
Simply import the carvera profile and machine definition from the wiki and just change the file type that the post file generates from ‘.cnc’ to ‘.nc’.

After that I have no issues running fusion CAM files via the makera studio.

I rarely see shots with Nikonos taken any deeper than a few metres. Most of these were shot between 15-30m deep which makes lighting much more challenging but the 15mm came in clutch for composing close up scenes where my light was sufficient.
