Would the (E mount) still be around 160 plus degrees on a crop sensor Sony? If so that is a useful increase in FOV over my very much loved WWL. And a better lens than the 16mm pancake with the FE adapter attached.

GoPro Mission 1 Labs is out for V2.0 This is big update for both mainline and Labs firmware, here are the highlights. MISSION 1 PRO v2.0 NEW FEATURES Adds support for Media Mod (Multi-Pattern Mic + Media Ports Frame) for MISSION 1 Series Adds support for Volta 2 (Weather-Resistant Battery Grip | Tripod | Remote) Enables video out using USB-C to DisplayPort / HDMI cables and adapters IMAGE QUALITY IMPROVEMENTS Improves contrast and tone tuning in Dive mode Improves color accuracy, including fixes for oversaturated colors and skies Improves cinematic motion blur tuning USABILITY IMPROVEMENTS General user interface improvements General bug fixes LABS UPDATES v2.00.70 Added EXPL - Exposure lock on capture Added HS30=1 default Hindsight shortcut to 30s Added EXPX Max Shutter speed e.g. $EXPX=200 for 1/200 Added EXPN Min Shutter speed e.g. $EXPX=1000 for 1/1000 Added EXPQ Manual Shutter speed e.g. $EXPQ=50 for 1/50 Added Overlay BURN support (limited to 4K 24,25,30 16:9 8-bit) Enhanced BURN now support variables ‘$VALC%1.6f’ or ‘$M%1.2f’mph Added PMXY for processing message screen position Added AUDS and audio triggers to Mission. Added DTMF for a DTMF detector, running Macro stored in DTMA-D,0-9,S-Start(), H-Hash() DTMF=1 External USB audio, =2 Internal mics Preset with macros can have now have lowercase freeform text following e.g. “SWIM mode” Fixed Labs Photo FOV, EV and WB controls Added system vars (useful with BURN overlays) c:X = GPS lat, c:Y = GPS long, c:Z = GPS alt, c:S = GPS km/h, c:T = GPS days in this year c:W = GPS DOP Labs on Mission is now mostly feature matching HERO13, and starting to add a few extra features. The new DTMF detector might seems weird for most users, but it can serve as is very inexpensive multi-cam controller, or for very long range cable control, where USB or WiFi is impractical (Rocket launches, deep water ROVs, gaussian spat camera arrays, etc.) Labs downloads: https://gopro.github.io/labs/ P.S. I forget to document one more cool feature - Added DIOP=x - Experimental diopter correction. Adding a diopter lens will modify the distortion, and impact stabilization, this attempts to compensate. e.g. $DIOP=4 for +4 diopter lens. Ps: Theres a bug on this version 400 mbits dont work on this version 2.00.70, its limited to 240 Mbits

Fish floats are extremely easy for me to get. Locals use them for cameras with some success. We've also done some 3D printed floats but that is heavier for a given buoyancy. Personally I'd like to get flotation under my camera to make tilted shots less effort. Having all my buoyancy on the strobe arms is a pain.

7Artisans 10mm f/2.5 MAX FE autofocus lens is coming on July 28The headline on Sony Rumors is that the 7Artisans will release a new AF fisheye in Sony FE, Nikon Z and L-mount on Tuesday. this is a 10mm, 185 degree FF fisheye. The Manual focus version, under $300.00US has had positive reviews for if's build and image quality. This is an F/2.5 to F/16 lens with an under six inch (15cm) minimum focus distance. I believe the MAX is a new line of higher quality lenses with additional features.

Yes it's quite a bummer but I've been to some cool places and seen some great things. Thanks.

This is perfect even for technical diving and it's very cheap! https://www.easycomposites.eu/easycell75-closed-cell-pvc-foam

Ahhhh, jg3johnson! Better late than never, eh? Welcome to Waterpixels. Great to have you with us. Sorry though about the medical condition. That is an utter bummer. Good luck with the sale.

Hi everyone - I have been enjoying underwater photography for a few years now and have just become aware of this group. I wish I had known about it earlier. I have recently developed a medical condition that prevents me from diving and would like to sell my gear. Thanks, and I'm glad to know there is a place for these discussions.

I, unfortunately, would have to agree. It will lead to more corruption and simply no ATA Carnet = Tax, Tax and more theft..... I mean tax.

The letter from the ”secretary of tourism” unfortunately does not suggest any positive actions for uw-photographers or divers. The ATA documents will significantly increase the cost of bringing your personal equipment into Mexico, so I think it will actually create more incentive for ”enterprenaurial” initiatives by individual customs personnel. Completely detached inmo. Personally I’ve had Socorro on my list too, but will boycott and go to Malpelo, Galapagos or Cocos instead in that side of the world.

They already do not follow the actual customers literature / rules, so I personally would not trust this as far as I could throw a corrupt customs officer. I hope it works for the sake of us divers, as I would love to go back to Mexico, but, until I hear from people on this or similar forum that it has completely stopped I will be giving it a wide birth. Corruption really makes me angry.

Individual boycotting will protect YOU. I'm already 'Personally' out of pocket to the tune of $1500. I'm not saying do not do it, I am simply saying it will not affect the corrupt customs officers making money from unsuspecting tourists. I will personally not be going, but a few hundred less tourists will make zero difference to Mexico. The only pressure that will have any affect will be IF it comes from someone of importance........ Like government. The fact that they get away with it at all suggests that this goes a lot higher than the customs officers on the ground. If this was the UK then there would be hell to pay, both from companies and tourists. It simply would not happen without higher government input/acceptance.
