  1. Today
  2. I want to buy an Ikelite DS-161 strobe. Must be fully functioning, especially on TTL. Battery pack should be no older than five years as per date on battery pack.
  3. 8-15 is equisolid and 7-14 equidistant projection lenses AI says that compression at the edges is moderate for 7-14 and significant for 8-15 Would anyone have comparable samples what it would do underwater to see?
  4. New Release v0.3.32 just published with UDDF support for both mac and PC https://github.com/wyvernp/pelagic/releases/tag/v0.3.32
  5. Has anyone experimented with Canons VR dual fisheye underwater or the new 7-14 for VR180 videos underwater?
  6. Fotocore MR6 is based on Feelworld LUT6 while the newer MR5.5 on LUT5 monitor where MR5.5 has custom firmware overlay with a bit diminished brightness in lieu of battery longevity. So for features and menus refer to respective Feelworld models. I am pretty certain Kraken 5.5 v2 is based on the same Feelworld 5.5 Compared to Weefine WED5Pro they offer choice of HDR input which should not be misinterpreted as the Atomos HDR built in tone mapping of LOG signals. Basically if you decide to shoot HLG which many cameras offer you good to go. For LOG HDR preview you need to build custom LUT. Many UW photographers will atest that the evil lies in cables longevity and solution and from that perspective WED5Pro seems to have the most robust solution. Frustrated with Atomos/Nauticam UI I ordered recently WED5Pro and bought Feelworld5.5 to create and make sure it could be created custom LOG->HDR tone mapping LUT. BUT - here is (one of the) catch(es) - Feelworld (and I suspect Weefines too) wave monitor is not transparent and it shows waves WITH LUT applied. Unlike Atomos which shows clean HDMI. As we use LUT only for preview to actually be able to see highly lit low contrast scenes when pushing LOG exposure to the right it poses challenge of its own to properly expose. Also I like Atomos HDR mapping better than my custom LUT :-) So that's that :-) any monitor you choose will be miles better than the rear camera BUT get ready use 15l or doubles as standard as your drag and air consumption underwater will go one direction - UP 🤣
  7. Thanks for giving it a go and the feedback, adding UDDF support as we speak and should have a new build for you within an hour or so, along with a couple of other fixes for macs (hopefully).
  8. Hi Dave, thanx for sharing. Will download and print in the next few days. Rating will follow. But I`m shure your design will work. Already printed your design of macro rings for retra flash and used it on my current philippines dive trip. They fit and worked perfect. Backscatter was noticeably reduced. Just returned back home after 6 weeks and need some time for detailed review. Br Markus
  9. I have been meaning to make one of those. Someone asked me for some of those... I will see if i can knock that out.
  10. They thread on like a cap. I can thread a 1/4 compression fitting on there. But I'm guessing something in TPU could thread on without actually having to print threads. NauticamOptical Fiber Connector for Nauticam (to use with 26216)(...For use with the Nauticam Universal Fiber Optic Cable. Provides connection to Nauticam housings with threaded optical cable bulkhead.
  11. You can find them here. A review or rating would be appreciated! https://makerworld.com/models/846729?appSharePlatform=copy
  12. Hi Dave, interested in the new designed connectors. It would be great if you shared the print files. Br Markus
  13. Shipping to Australia would probably be about $30 USD.
  14. I will order! Share a picture of the connectors you want, the terminology is sort of fluid. This is an Inon/S&S 7mm connector which is the lowest common denominator.
  15. Yesterday
  16. That's a deal. I'll measure the length I need, if I can cut it with nothing special I'd probably order twice the length I need to have spare. S&S plug on one end and Nauticam on the other.
  17. I'm happy to commit to 6m of cable if you can ship to Australia.
  18. Hey @Johno1530 - I have the same scenario. I was looking strongly at the Kraken 5.5 v2 but ended up with the Karen 7”. Ironically, it is actually a bit thinner and seems to fit the overall housing a bit better. Besides, with my not-so-great eyes I figure a little bigger screen is better. In full transparency I have not yet taken it for a dive as of yet. With that said, I have a couple good friends that use this model and are very happy with the performance and size.
  19. Opens and runs fine on my Mac. BUT cannot import XML dives exported from MacDive. No support for UDDF? That's the most universal dive log format.
  20. Be happy to give it a whirl
  21. I think I would set the minimum quantity to 4 or 6 meters. Two or three pairs of 1 meter cables. I just checked and my cost for 30 meters + shipping is about $9 USA per meter. That is 613 muti-fiber, 2.2mm. The good stuff. I will include the connectors for free. Add $10 for USA shipping. Shipping inside Canada I think is similar. I anyone wants international shipping and is wiling to pay any tariff costs, we can discuss shipping costs. So that is: 36+10 = $46 for 2 pairs of 1 meter cables 54+10 = $64 for 3 pairs of 1 meter cables If I can get at least 2 people to commit, I will go ahead and place an order today. I will use the rest. I wear them out after a few years, and I give away optical cables to my dive buddies as needed. So, I go through whatever I have available in several years. I think I'm down to my last 5 or 6 meters right now.
  22. I'd be in for a set of cables if you can make one end fit Nauticam DSLR?
  23. Did you ever get a response from someone who uses this monitor? I'm either considering: Kraken 5.5 v2 Fotocore Mr6 (Seems difficult to obtain in UK) WEEFINE - WED 5 Pro or WED 7 Pro. I cannot find any real reviews of the Fotocore and only 1 paid review of the Weefine 7 Pro. I am literally only going to be using it for composing photographs and not video, so don't want to spend 'Nauticam' money. Will be interesting to see would people say that are using it. The weefine WED 5 Pro is tempting at only 720g but I wonder if 5 inches display is enough.

  25. I was thinking about ordering a new batch of cable to Seattle. I could order a bunch and ship some off to wherever. I will be heading to canada in two weeks and could drop some in the mail. Probably 6 meters minimum. I was considering about $200 worth which is around 25-30 meters. Also, i just updated my connector design and they are better than ever. Happy to share some of these too.
  26. Wow, thanks for pointing that out @Grantmac ! I wasn't aware of this and you're right, it's not expensive at all! Perhaps this will be my next upgrade since it'll not arrive in time for my Maldives trip!
  27. The Kraken USB port is not expensive and then you need not open anything under vacuum.
