Jukka-Pekka Salmenkaita Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 I have been super happy with Backscatter flip setup for macro and filter. However, the new wetmate WA and macro options look very interesting as well. Since I have no experience of bayonet mounts, few questions - are any/all bayonet mounts compatible between the vendors (Backscatter, AOI, Inon) so that lenses from multiple vendors could be used on the same mount? - are there differences in robustness or convenience of use between the mounts? - any recommendations on mounts (e.g. on strobe/light arm) to store extra lens(es) during the dive? Thanks for any and all help in advance! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davide DB Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 Hi, Yes bayonet miunt is the same so they are interchangeable. Backscatter is a rebranded version of the AOI. The lens it's the same, but they offer slightly different options. Some of our members have them so the may add other info.

Gmsalterego Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 I would know how to attach AOI WA lens with M55 adapter to backscatter FLIP system. Is it a valid solution to switch from macro to wide angle lens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eLzUb Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 I would not attach this lens to the flip mount because is really heavy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jukka-Pekka Salmenkaita Posted August 8 Author Share Posted August 8 I think FLIP can only handle the weight of macromate mini lens, no more reliably. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davide DB Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 I can confirm that the lens is heavy and wouldn't be safe on a flip. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
