Great. Message me with how much you want, and what combination of connectors. Do you want me to cut the cable, how long, etc.

There are also the 3d printed fixed focus/aperture lenses using the optical components from disposable cameras.

I have a 3D printable mount that has been tested up to ASPC sized cameras, I'd be willing to share the CAD file so long as you don't commercialize it.

Happy with that.

An update to this old topic A trend that has been spreading in recent years among teenagers and twenty-somethings is taking photographs that look like they were shot with disposable cameras or digital cameras from the early 2000s, slightly blurry and overexposed. To achieve that effect, many use actual compact digital cameras from those years, bought second-hand or pulled out of their parents' drawers. The point is not to take beautiful photos, since smartphones do it much better, but to give a different and stronger meaning to individual shots, in times when it is normal to take dozens of them for a single moment and then forget them in the phone memory. Companies are also adapting to this demand by re-releasing old models or creating new ones that meet these characteristics. Among these, a digital camera that is having particular success – precisely because it takes grainy photos with a retro effect – is the Kodak Charmera. The Charmera is inspired by a historic Kodak camera: the Fling, the company's first disposable produced in 1987. Unlike the Fling, however, the Charmera is digital. It is a tiny camera: just under six centimeters long and about two and a half high, it fits in the palm of a hand and weighs only 30 grams. It is sold with a keychain hook because, due to its extremely small size, it can be easily hung on a set of keys or clipped to a bag or belt loop. The name Charmera is in fact the result of combining the words charm, meaning those little objects hung on accessories and devices to decorate them, and camera.

Hi brightnight, we have this old thread. You can do both. It depends on your subjects and dive scenarios. Explain to me better what you had in mind. Video or photos? What use do you want to make of them?

Hi Toque Sorry about that! I can’t see any obvious reason and will ask Rich to take a look.

I put some examples on page 2 of this thread: (not sure why the hyperlink box is so wonky.) 7-14 - Nice and sharp, easy to use. Great lens. I can pull some 8-15mm photos for ya if you want. Slightly less sharp (my copy) but not really notable unless corner peaking.

That's exactly what my connectors are designed for. The connection parts are all soft TPU rubber and the 180deg straight parts is designed to bend and flex. The tall vertical is the 180deg connector. Bendy and grippy. Send me a private message with the connector layouts you want. In general: Strobes with the connection on the back (Retra) work best with a 90deg elbow connector Strobes with the connection on the side (Backscatter, Inon) work best with a 180deg connector Housings can go either way. I use 90deg for the Nauticam ports on the top of the housing (Image below with both Backscatter and Retra strobes on Nauticam housing)

The ones I posted take a Sea&Sea connector, which would make screwing them in a bit easier unless some sort of rotating component was built in. In my case I'd like straight connectors with some flex if that makes sense?

SOLD to Grant!

I'll take it!

I created a port cap for Isotta B120 and Sea & Sea bodies. It can be found on MakersWorld at https://makerworld.com/en/models/2626305-port-cover-for-isotta-b120#profileId-2899465 Ben

The Private Message and Notice links located at the top right corner on the site do not work for me. I am logged in and they do show I have notices, but I can't retrieve them. Also When I check the box to follow topics I'm involved with I don't get a email notice that there has been activity. I thought I used to get something in email. Is that correct? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi RomiK, To be honest, I don't really understand too much about video, I want it just to enhance my view. I have the 45 degree viewfinder but do find it difficult to compose certain shots and I think a monitor will help. With the 45 degree viewfinder the LCD is pretty much unusable and I thought if I had the monitor it would be best of both worlds. The weight does concern me and that's why I thought maybe the weefine 5 pro would be a good choice as its much more manageable weight wise than the Kraken. The cables do concern me and I have read a few bad things about the fibbon cables on the Kraken. I use ribbon cables on FPV drones and they are very flimsy, so that's good to know about the weefine cable. I will have to work out the dimensions and weight of all and see which one seems best to me, as once bought it's very diifucltfor me to return them especially if its the Fotocore or Kraken as I will need to buy from abroad.

Thanks Chip, hope you're well. I think I would prefer the 7 inch I'm just a little worried about the weight (My hand baggage is already so heavy I have to put most in my coat pockets when travelling lol) that's why I like the look of the weefine one as its only 720g in air. I literally just want it for composition. I recently went to Anilao and struggled to see some of the things they were pointing out and the Nudibranch all seemed to be in not great photography positions. I was diving with a lad that had the 7 inch Nauticam monitor. It looked great, very clear and he got in positions I just couldn't but he loved it there and didn't need to lug it about on airplanes lol It's a shame there are not more reviews shit but I have another 5 months until I got to Bali, so I will keep researching. It's nice to know that you have a few friends that use the Kraken ones and like them. I know that's what Matt sullivan uses as well. Let me know how you get on 👍

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.

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?

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

Has anyone experimented with Canons VR dual fisheye underwater or the new 7-14 for VR180 videos underwater?

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 🤣

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).
