Being able to skip the adapter and extension for Sony shooters would be a weight savings. If it fits well behind any dome.

I have this exact set up and really love it for shooting video. Someone will get a good deal. Good luck with the sale.

Hi everyone! I have been in South Florida for 11 years, soon will be relocate to Sabah Malaysia to retire and enjoy tropical water diving! I'm primarily underwater video shooter utilizing compact camera since I can't afford interchangeable lens system. Moses

I actually really like using a battery pack with the R5C too. It lasts for hours, which is fantastic underwater and on expeditions. But there is one thing that I dislike : if you don’t use the camera for some time, the battery pack disconnects itself. On long boat rides I have to remember to switch the camera on from time to time otherwise it goes to sleep and disconnects. I don’t know if Canon/Nauticam solved that issue on the C50 setup. And I also noticed the dedicated WB button on the C50 housing — that’s honestly such a great idea for underwater work.

This is very useful, thanks to you both. I'm actually started looking into options to have a safe battery pack made for the A7SIII if I can find someone who accepts to build one. I'm just really not sure what to aim for as I have very limited understanding of all this unfortunately. Something like a 2S Li-ion OEM pack , 18350 Li-ion, a small LiPo pouch pack or 18650 if housing space allows? Looking into it, specs would maybe be something like 7.4 V nominal, 8.4 V full, continuous discharge: ~2–3 A, peak discharge: up to ~5 A short bursts / load spikes (video load during recording) with and integrated PCB with over-current protection, under-voltage cutoff and short-circuit protection? Am I missing something? And what about a 5000 mAh (or 10000 if it can fit) mini power bank supporting USB-C PD (9 V class)? something like an Inui or Baseus power bank https://iniushop.com/en-jp/collections/mini-power-bank https://www.baseus.com/collections/power-banks Some have interesting shapes thanks!

Lovely find - I lost an AOI lens cover in Okinawa a few months, but it was neoprene - and my name isn't Jennifer most days - and currents go the other way - and I'm not in the US - but I'm sure it will make someone happy! 😀

This housing is very NA-LX100 looking (and there is an error during the product photoshoot with a Canon lens showing up along with some accessories).

It’s (overexposure) the same thing with Sony Slog3. I expose based on waveforms and often it is 3+ stops to what camera weighted average measures. Almost a butter even in ISO 32000 :-) . What it intriguing to me on C50 package is the housing with extra battery (ZR doesn’t have it) so the camera lasts no matter what. I can’t stress enough how disappointed I was in Norway when at the end of the day after 4 hours in zodiac last epic bait with 4 humpback ending the party and I missed that.

I can understand - there's some nice shore based diving I've been doing, you should try Walindi in PNG, not the easiest to get to but they head out on day boats to some excellent diving out in Kimbe Bay. The shore based resorts in Dampier strait also look worth exploring.

I’m sure fierce competition in areas like the Red Sea has led to the many accidents and fires recorded there in recent years. We had a similar thought on the materials used for construction. We were on Emperor Harmoni last year in Raja and that was a very solid wooden construction. And the metal hull of Caribbean Explorer doing the Saba/St Kitts trip. Our group has certainly been put off liveaboards for the moment! Next trip(s) are very likely to be shore/resort based.

Ironically I would normally have had my phone with me for the group photo, my partner too. But this time, naah…..

Wondering if we should be more discerning about the types of vessels we book. It seems to me that a solid timber vessel would be less of an issue, I'm thinking of the Phinisis that ply Indonesian waters built of tropical hardwoods using traditional methods. Timber will burn strongly but requires something to start it going - kindling if you are building a fire. Of course it will burn and once it gets going become intense but the ignition is probably slower. Looking at boats I've been on I looked up safety requirements for vessels plying Australian waters and while SOLAS is not required they have extensive fire safety requirements they need to meet, particularly if operating offshore - The Rowley Shoals boat comes to mind, operating 300 km offshore. I also recall the boat we did a Galapagos cruise on was steel hulled and seemed well equipped but that was 12 years ago now. Most of my dive trips have been from land based resorts in the recent past - possibly as I don't have fantastic sea legs, I was quite sick on the run out to Rowley shoals, but the return trip was much calmer seas with what swell there was behind us.

Maybe a trigger to change providers? Or maybe you keep your phone in your pocket even if it is powered down or the grab bag. With a phone in hand nearly anything can be taken care of these days.

Hopefully they're able to get it off the reef. One of my faorite beaches in Lembongan had a similar thing happen to a crane and they just left it there and it's been there for years now. Total eyesore and not good for the reef.

The quality looks pretty decent into the corners in the sample photos, seems quite heavy at 650 gr, though the Canon 8-16 is no lightweight either at 540 gr.

To be honest, with Canon RAW I think you really need to expose to the right and even slightly overexpose to get the best results. I got caught by that at the beginning because I didn’t know it behaved that way, and my first tests looked much noisier than expected. But once I understood how the codec likes to be exposed, I was actually very happy with the results, especially after grading.

Thanks Chris. I appreciate it!
