Hello, I’m selling my Olympus OMD EM5 Nauticam setup. Single owner. All items are in very good condition, never flooded and only lightly used in tropical waters. I haven’t used the system in a few years, but kept it carefully stored as a backup. The setup is built around a single flat port, which supports two shooting configurations: • For versatile dives (wide angle + semi-macro), I used the Olympus 12–50mm with a custom 3D-printed zoom gear, combined with either a WWL-1 or CMC-2. • For dedicated macro, I used the Olympus 60mm macro lens behind the same port, optionally also with a CMC-2. Both the WWL-1 (not for sale) and CMC-2 (not for sale) can be mounted or removed underwater via the Nauticam M67 to Bayonet Mount Converter – a fast and secure solution for lens changes during a dive. • Nauticam NA-EM5 Housing – €400 • Olympus OMD EM5 Body + M.Zuiko 12–50mm f/3.5–6.3 EZ – Selling for €250 • Olympus M.Zuiko 60mm f/2.8 Macro – Selling for €300 • Nauticam Flat Port 65 for 60mm Macro (SKU 36163) – Nauticam Price €440 - Selling for €260 • Zoom Gear for Olympus 60mm Macro (SKU 36052) - Nauticam Price €190 - Selling for €100 • Custom 3D-printed Zoom Gear for Olympus 12–50mm – €50 • Nauticam Bayonet Mount Converter for Flat Port (SKU 83250) – Nauticam Price €100 - Selling for €50 Additional photos available upon request.

I used the Inon on my previous GoPro setup and really liked the wide angle of view—it helped me capture some great footage. However, the lens scratched quite easily, even though I handled it with care, which was quite disappointing.

I wanted to share some additional feedback. While I haven’t used the exact lights you’re referring to, I’ve been using similar ones with 15,000 lumens and a fairly wide beam. I primarily shoot wide-angle video, and for that purpose, these lights have performed exceptionally well. I’ve also used them for some semi-macro videography, and in my experience, they’ve worked very well for that too. Of course, they’re not a replacement for a dedicated macro light or a snoot, but whether that matters depends on how serious you want to get with macro footage. I’ve filmed various small critters—mostly during night dives and sometimes with an additional close-up lens—and the results have been very satisfying so far. If you want to do wide-angle, as you mentioned, then high-powered, wide-beam lights like these are essential. In my opinion, there’s no way around investing in them. And as a bonus, they can still serve reasonably well for macro, even if not perfectly optimized for it. I also experimented with blue filters on the lights and a red filter on the camera. The main challenge here was that the blue filter significantly reduces light output, and the red filter also cuts down the camera’s light-gathering capability. So the 15,000 lumen lights suddenly become surprisingly weak with the filters on. I got mixed results so far and still need to experiment a bit more in that regard.

Hi everyone, My name is Robert, and I’ve been passionate about underwater photography and videography for over 20 years. These days, I focus exclusively on underwater video, currently using a compact setup built around the Sony RX100 VII paired with the Nauticam WWL-1.
