Greetings from Ireland

Posted 9 hours ago9 hr

Hi All,

New to this site, diving 40 years, underwater photography started as a small child snorkelling over 50 years ago (anyone remember the Agfa Guppy system using 110 cartridge film?) but my habit didn't get out of hand until about 25 years ago.

Shot stills exclusively until discovering GoPro 8 or 9 years ago, capability of equipment far exceeds talent and ambition!

Still diving a Drager rebreather (hence the handle), a really great rig for photography.

As a DIY Fiber Cable article was just posted, this seems like a good time to share this article on 3-D printing connectors for your DIY cables. The Connectors are really the heart of the cable, as the fiber is simply a manufactured item bought from a supplier. One of weak points of most of these DIY's is getting the right connectors. The solutions range from buying connectors (at about $10 a pop or $20 per cable), re-using connectors from old cables (which may require drilling them

Insta360 Ace Pro 2 - The First 8K AI Powered Action Cam
Insta360 Ace Pro 2 - The First 8K AI Powered Action Cam

Maria Munn · Sunday at 03:36 PM1 day

If someone mentions the word Action Cam for underwater use, who else would automatically think of either Go Pro or the Osmo dpi range? This week I've been learning about Insta 360’s Ace Pro 2 and I have to say, I’ve been completely blown away by it’s specs. Not only does it boast an incredible Leica Summarit lens to set a completely new and unrivalled benchmark for action camera image quality (a whopping 50 MP), it has an F2.6 aperture to capture more light and reduce noise plus a 2.5” flip
