A little jiggle gets all the bubbles out of my WWL-1 and it's screwed into the port?

I too am based on Vancouver Island for the next while. Where are you diving?

Would you sell the adapter separately?

Unconventional thought: A wet wide lens with zoom through capabilities is something I use with a 26-95mm FF equivalent lens for smallish creatures. Yes it's not macro but it's also a lot faster to acquire and focus.

Indeed, things generally come out of drysuit pockets but they rarely go back in during my dives anyway.

I never trust a pocket unless it has a bit of bungee inside to clip an object on to. For now I just clip that cap onto a float arm or my tether.

I'm currently investigating 3D printing molds then casting using epoxy and microballoons. Likely more dense and durable than really needed unless I can track down some macroballoons but those are not very commonly available. The other option is stacking PVC foam then coating with epoxy. Although at that point a 3D print might be just as effective. The goal is conformal buoyancy rather than on the arms to reduce drag while mounted on a DPV and when freediving. Large float arms make for a lot of drag through the water and traditional float collars are depth limited.

I drilled a hole and use some bungee with boltsnap. At one point I accidentally dropped it and the boltsnap kept it in place.

What part of Washington do you dive?

I run phones until they die and buy cameras/housings at least 5 years old. I look at the images they created when new and can tell I've got a ways to go. I'm not exactly well liked in camera or dive shops.

Nauticam replied saying that although they will physically bolt up the alignment of the WWL-1 is much more critical than the MWL-1, which was something I wasn't expecting. Saved me a $550 experiment however.

I'd be interested in the bayonet mount

I recently "downgraded" from an A6500 (in a Sea Frogs salted) to a GH4, mainly because it was practically free including the Nauticam housing. I haven't dove it much but for my uses (mostly social media) it seems a better format with more appropriate lenses, higher sync speed and wider white balance capabilities. I can foresee going to a newer body down the road. I'm unsure if I'll miss the IBIS and higher native ISO.

The holder I'm referring to is specific to the MWL-1 but looks like the same flange size as the WWL-1. I don't think I'd try it on the regular adapter.

The weight is the same both in and out of water. The MWL-1 is actually longer and only 22mm less diameter.
