Can anyone help me how to clean these Nauticam Wet lenses ? We have 4 lenses from our friends with same issue.

I have sent few emails to Nauticam but did not get any reply.

Thanks

French, English, Spanish language with tons of subtitles, enjoy your viewing

I hope there's a relist feature.

Thanks!!!

Coourious what extension to you use with this lens/dome port combo.

FYI I have contacted Aquatica and they are are working on a solution but I figured I check here if any one else uses this lens with this housing

Thanks!

Thank you in advance

I have recently bought a Weefine WED 5 Pro from Alex Tattershall - UWvisions (excellent service) and I'm looking for ideas of the best way to attach it to my housing.

I have a cross bar, which I bought ages ago but it's too big and doesn't fit. Can anyone recommend a cross bar that would allow me to fit it to the housing but still use the nauticam fabric handle?

The photo attached is just for illitration and I won't be attaching like this in future.

I have thought either a cross bar or 2 small arms with a triple ball mount.

Thanks

John

Working on counterweighting my setup- I am currently running with a sony A7CR and sony g 20-70 f4 in a marelux housing with the 50mm extension ring/ 180mm dome port. The dome is slightly positive and attempts to always flip upwards. In works with a savy 3D printing friend to build a weight collar on the extension ring to offset the current buoyancy. does anyone have experience with this or a similar system that could help me get a rough idea of how many grams I should begin testing with?

Was going to begin with fixing ankle weights to the rig, so anything more specific would be very helpful!

Cheers!

Custom GP3 Processor to Debut in New Cameras in Q2 2026 and Power GoPro's Next Generation of Cameras Across Current and Future Products

SAN MATEO, Calif., March 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- GoPro, Inc. (NASDAQ: GPRO) today announced the upcoming launch of GP3, its most powerful custom imaging processor to date. Exclusive to GoPro, GP3 is a 5-nanometer System-on-a-Chip (SoC) that delivers more than 2X the pixel processing power and superior AI-driven image quality and low-light performance over its predecessor, GP2. GP3's power efficiency and thermal performance are expected to significantly outperform the competition, resulting in industry-leading runtimes in the most demanding environmental conditions. These advancements position GP3 to usher in a new era of professional-level image quality, low-light performance, resolution and frame rates for small form-factor camera markets, including action cameras, 360 cameras, vlogging cameras, and ultra-premium, compact cinema-grade cameras.

Accompanying images captured on GoPro's next‑generation camera system powered by GP3 showcase the breakthrough image quality and low-light performance enabled by this new technology.

At the heart of GoPro's innovative GP3 processor is a specialized AI Neural Processor Unit (NPU) that enables next-generation video pixel processing and market-leading low-light image performance. GP3 also features dedicated cores for scene recognition and subject detection, allowing GoPro cameras to understand their environment in real-time and adjust camera settings automatically. And with its 5-nanometer architecture and exceedingly efficient power-profile, GP3 is expected to enable market-leading resolutions and frame rates with runtimes and thermal performance that significantly outperform the competition.

"We expect our new, exclusive GP3 processor to lead in every performance area—image quality, resolution, frame rates, low-light performance and power and thermal efficiency," said Pablo Lema, GoPro's Senior Vice President of Product Management. "Launching in our new products in Q2, GP3 provides a scalable, proprietary foundation we can leverage to power GoPro cameras across existing and future product categories. Our markets demand the very best performance, and we believe this sets the stage for GP3 to serve as a growth catalyst for GoPro."

"GP3's bleeding-edge, cinema-grade performance will enable GoPro to enter the ultra-premium end of the imaging market this year, serving the needs of a new, higher-end market segment that can grow GoPro's business and brand," said Nicholas Woodman, GoPro's founder and CEO. "We're excited for GP3 to empower GoPro as both an innovator and disrupter as we look to grow our business through market-leading technology and performance."

GP3 will debut in new GoPro cameras in Q2 2026.

So in theory it connects to 60+ dive computers (Shearwater, Suunto, Garmin, Scubapro, Mares, etc.) using the open source libdivecomputer library although I've only managed to test my Suunto eon core and garmin files so far. Once you've imported your dives and added them to a trip, you can add your photos and as long as your dive computer time/date and your camera's are somewhat synced up it will automatically sort your photos into the imported dives.



Once imported to your photo library you can tag species with common and scientific names, add a google gemini API key for AI ID, and writes all the metadata back to your images as XMP so it survives into Lightroom or whatever your editing workflow is, speaking of which you can launch your preferred editor directly from the app. Once edited Pelagic will track the edited file and import it back into the app enabling you to side by side compare the raw and edited versions.



There's also a built-in community map, a global database of dive sites contributed by Pelagic users. All data is anonymous so no usernames or personal info are attached to submissions. You can browse dive sites, see what species have been spotted there, and check depth ranges where sightings occurred. It's the kind of thing that's genuinely useful for trip planning or if you're heading to a new area you can pull up nearby sites and see recent observations. It works the other way too, after your dives, your species tags feed back into the database so the next person planning a trip benefits from your data. The whole thing runs on the idea that shared, anonymous sighting data makes everyone's diving better.



There's also an equipment tracking system, you can catalog all your dive and camera gear with brand, model, serial numbers, and purchase dates. You can group items into equipment sets (like your cold water kit vs. tropical setup, or your macro rig vs. wide angle), so you've got a quick record of what you took on each trip and it all stays in the log history. Handy for insurance purposes, keeping track of service intervals.

Still actively developing it and there's a ton more features I haven't covered here. Always looking for feedback from other UW shooters on what would actually be useful and what you find easy/hard, intuitive/unintuitive etc.

It's completely open source and free, the code is here https://github.com/wyvernp/pelagic and can be downloaded from https://github.com/wyvernp/pelagic/releases.

Anyway, looking hearing any feedback and being part of the community. Cheers!

Been contemplating on buying new strobes, and as the exchange rate is very favorable this got me thinking. Why not buy them from Japan?

Found atleast S&S being priced very nicely, but i would be probably on the market for Retras.

Problems im facing are the design of Japanese website. And finding the suppliers online.

So any help on websites and/or diveshops with Nauticam/Retra would be appreciated.

Maybe video shooter will feel safer?

I have lightroom on the laptop but am woefully ignorant about how to use it

is there a decent online resource to show me how to use it without too much pain?

The guy evaluates the image quality by looking at digital files and physical prints measuring 16x20 inches. Because the digital files were cropped to a square ratio to match the film camera, the magnification level of the prints equals a larger 26x20 inch format.

During the evaluation, the MF digital camera displays finer details and smoother rendering. On close inspection of the physical prints, the medium format images show more distinct lettering and sharper elements. When observing the prints from a normal viewing distance, the results from the M43 and the MF cameras appear identical. It is necessary to stand very close and examine the prints side by side to notice the variations. Without having two prints next to each other, it is difficult to identify which camera system captured the image.

The video also notes that using AI upscaling software on M43 images produces results that approach native medium format resolution. The software can sometimes introduce minor visual artifacts. The M43 system maintains an advantage in portability, as a full medium format kit would be larger and heavier. He observes that elements such as composition, focus placement, and aperture selection have a larger impact on the final image than the camera format.
