Hi all! I have been using this resource for a while, and feel that I now have enough experience to contribute! So here is the post I should have made a year ago!

I’m Jonathan. I have been somewhat active on SB in the past, but not recently. In my other life I’m a Paramedic that is a nightshifter by choice. In this life, I’m a vacation diver who has been diving since 2020. My most recent trips are Maldives and Raja Ampat, with Malapascua on the books next!

I’ve been using a Panasonic Lx10 in a Nauticam housing, and am interested in switching to the smartphone side for the 4K/60 and reduced weight to travel with. I look forward to being active on here!

Welcome aboard Stemi,

I hope you enjoy the forum!

Ciao

Welcome Stemi - avid LX10 user here as well, though my kit is now almost the size of a full scale rig, so far from compact...

Happy to share LX10 info, but can't help you with your switch to the ̶d̶a̶r̶k̶ phone side (though I'm definitely with you for 4K60fps! the only compact delivering that is the new Canon V1, and battery life, aaaah, battery life), but we do have some smartphone users on here, including Maria, our compact system moderator, who loves shooting iPhones if I'm not mistaken. I'm sure she and others be able to guide you on the golden path to true compact-form shooting.

cheers!
