Sea Grape.

Very interesting product, thanks Chris. The mount plate is too large for my NA-A1 housing (max length is 77mm i order to close the housing), but this is a brilliant idea. The Anker Nano is build around a 21700 cell, but I'm looking into custom-made dual 18650 battery packs now, for a non-autoshutoff solution. If anyone is interested in using the space above the hotshoe in the Nauticam A1 housing, main size restriction is a 77mm length, 40mm width and a roughly 25mm height.

Wondering if this item might be a good solution for extra power in a housing: https://www.rubbermonkey.com.au/SmallRig-3168B-NP-F-Battery-Adapter-Mount-Plate-Advanced-Edition It takes NP-F batteries widely used for video cameras and outputs up to 36W through the USB-C port. One of the smaller NP-F batteries like a 2000 - 3000 mAhr I think would fit in the bulge area above the hotshoe on many housings and would be a lot more future proof than any type of powerbank as the powerbanks appear and disappear regularly, while replacement NP-F batteries are widely available. This is an example of an NP-F battery: https://www.rubbermonkey.com.au/Jupio-NP-F550-Lithium-Ion-Battery-Pack-7-2V-2350mAh?fromCategoryId=271 It would be the ideal battery for a housing manufacturer to provide an extended battery life option I think.

I visited CocoView in June.2026 and concur with SwiftFF5's assessment of the facilities and the staff. GREAT staff - very friendly and helpful. Divemasters and Captains were also great, and it was fun talking with the resident photographer. Accommodations are ok and clean but not fancy. Food is plentiful and lunch and dinner menu changes daily. Again, very good for the typical American palate, but not fancy. Dive boats are a type I'd not seen before (repurposed US Navy I was told). Rear giant stride entry and ladder for return assuming relatively calm water (which we had one day). The rest of the week we boarded post-dive in a mid-ship tunnel through the hull with a ladder. Very interesting and it worked pretty well in ~2m waves. I plan to visit Anthony's Key resort (on the other side of the island) in Sept.2026 and will follow up.

We were diving in Cenderawasih Bay last month and came upon this approximately six-foot reef shark which had become tightly bound to a barrel sponge, with at least a quarter-mile of heavy line snaking through the reef system. Our guide was able to cut the animal free, although he didn't remove the hook (six-foot shark). Other guides found several more smaller sharks further down the reef slope. Ironically, we had been told that the dive site had been named by Dr. Mark Erdman, Shark Conservation Director at Re:wild. These images seem, sadly, to fit this forum. We had not seen another bat for two days, and were well offshore--these animals surely would have died had we not happened on them.

GoPro reported sharp declines across all key metrics in its second-quarter results. Between April and June, camera shipments fell 38% year over year to roughly 291,000 units, revenue dropped 31% to $105 million, and the quarterly loss widened to $51 million, leaving cash reserves at $27.3 million. During the earnings call, CEO Nicholas Woodman stated that the process to evaluate a potential sale of the company is now in its later stages, while the company has also introduced a temporary $100 price cut on the Mission 1 line. CineDGoPro Says Its Sale Process Is in the Later Stages – Came...GoPro says its sale process is in the later stages, as results show camera sales down 38% and cash down to $27.3 million.

One of these days I will update our DIYpedia with the latest projects.

Sharing a new gear for the Nikon z105mm lens. Someone had a request for this gear so I designed and printed it for them. https://makerworld.com/en/models/3173526-focus-gear-for-nikon-z105mm-in-nauticam-housings

Aloha and welcome @Francy1505

It does work just the same as it did on my old nauticam housing. I'm currently using the OLY E-M10 Mk IV backscatter octo housing (FLP-06 PEN Flat Port) with the Nauticam M67 Port to Bayonet Mount Converter II to mount my WWL-C and CMCs.

ill take a look later today..

I consulted with the official personnel of Nautiam, and they said that the basis for determining the appropriate length of the extension ring is that the front mirror group and the ball cover surface are parallel. They have given more consideration to the situation of 7mm Based on my measurements, the flange difference between Marelux-rf and Nauticum-rf is 7mm, which means that if Nauticum has a length of 20mm, Marelux needs 27mm

Those were the times of the legendary cracked GH2. Like a tuned scooter. I never investigated the Panasonic custom modes C1, C2 , C3, C4 I think tou can have different AF types but not fixed focus points. regarding my sad story, today it is impossible not to notice it. Focus peaking for video and for photos the various AF modes show you exactly what it focused on.

I followed your advice and conducted tests on land using 3D printed extension rings (30mm and 35mm). It can be confirmed that the 35mm extension ring in the 14mm focal length can only see slight dark corners when the camera anti shake group is working, while there are no visible corners in the 30mm range. Checking the image quality, it was found that there was almost no difference between the two under F10 F13. Therefore, 30mm is the optimal extension ring for RF7-14

I know that on a french forum with the same framework.. I reached a global limit. The administator give me more space to solve the issue If @RichN can check this point ...

It's strange because we have a limit of 10 photos per post. Maybe @RichN can check it.

Ah yes 🙈 sometimes my mind races ahead of fingers 🤣

I try it from an other PC.... it doesn't work.. I guess I reached my upload limit. @Davide DB Can you check please Thanks

Interesting experience, thanks for sharing (and not re-iterating the curses). It would be nice to be able to program two focus positions into the camera, say on an Fn button or so, for a given lens. Then we could have it all- fix-focus for reef and CFWA plus AF if we want to. And the ability to switch rapidly and reliably between all this. Does that exist?

Thank. I am very happy to be a part of this amazing community.

Hi everyone, I am looking for a 3D printable file (.STL) for a Nauticam zoom gear for the Canon EF 8-15mm f/4L Fisheye USM lens. I am using it inside a Nauticam NA R6 housing with an EF-RF adapter and a Saga 4" Minidome. Does anyone happen to have a tested file or a parametric design they could share? Thank you so much for your help!

Welcome aboard Francesco! Ciao

Hi everyone! My name is Francesco and I am just starting out with underwater photography. I am shooting with a Canon R6 in a Nauticam housing. Thank you so much to anyone who can help me learn the ropes! Best regards, Francesco
