drying ports and water optics in the field?
I got an air nozzle attachment for a low pressure inflator hose. It works great. Amazon.com : Scuba Choice Dive Air Nozzle & Tire Inflator – Dual-Purpose Low Pressure Hose Adapter for Regulators, Schrader Valve Tires, Inflatable Beds, Boats & Outdoor Equipment : Sports & Outdoors

Battery extension for Nauticam Sony A6400 housing
I'm using this cable: Amazon.com: Poyiccot USB C to Micro USB Cable, 90 Degree Left Angle Micro USB Male to USB C Female Adapter Connector Cable Support Charge & Sync for Samsung and Micro USB Devices(Left Angle) : Cell Phones & Accessories I removed the bracket for the expansion battery, and then tuck this adapter down below the camera.

Battery extension for Nauticam Sony A6400 housing
I added the usb-c bulkhead to my A6400 Housing setup. Works great. I charge from a battery bank between dives, and I don't need to break the vacuum to change a battery (or break down my kit if using my fisheye which is front mount). If I'm diving the same lens the next day, I'll leave the housing sealed overnight and charge from the wall.

Can a fisheye handle everything better than a wide angle zoom?
Correct. I am using a Sigma MC11 adapter for sony to canon lenses.

Can a fisheye handle everything better than a wide angle zoom?
I do believe a fisheye can handle most everything other than macro. CFWA and WA can be handled with the lens. With a teleconverter and a port extension, you get a narrow view to rival normal kit lenses. I shoot a Tokina 10-17 on my sony system, and will be adding a TC and 20mm port extension to make it a more "normal" lens for night dives and such when I don't want macro. I don't even travel with my kit lens anymore.

Preferred type of arms and sizes for light traveling
After having a no name float arm come apart underwater, I also moved to stix. I have a combo of jumbo and regular and they work great and I don't need to worry about them coming apart.

Misool's been on my list for a while. Need to put a deposit down one of these days for a couple years out.

Shooting underwater with Sony A6700
At least on my A6100, if you turn on silent shooting, it will disable the built in flash. Not sure if that works with triggers as well.

Nauticam USB-C bulkhead mini review
I likely would have gone battery pack as well, but alas, they were discontinued by the time I bought my system.

Backscatter Smart TTL for Sony & Olympus
I agree, this should work with the A6700 housings. On the pre 6600 housings, the vacuum LED was so close to the hotshoe, even the trt unit wouldn't fit.

Nauticam USB-C bulkhead mini review
I also use this bulkhead with my A6400 housing. Have an adapter cable tucked in where the battery pack normally goes to get the micro USB connection. I only use mine for charging in between dives, but it works great and means I don't need to break the vacuum all day, or even at night if I'm shooting the same lens the next day.

NEW strobe / videolight OPTIMA-10000 from Underwater Technics.
Is there a projected target price for these? Bundle pricing for 2x strobes and a trigger?

NEW External TTL-Converters from Underwater Technics.
Are these new triggers firmware updatable without sending it back?

Backscatter Smart TTL for Sony & Olympus
When I tried a s-turtle in my A6400 housing, the vacuum LED was in the way. With the deeper a6700 and the LED being on the back of the housing, I'm surprised it won't fit.

nauticam N85 Opening Diameter
OP, looks like you're shooting APS-C, when the FE50mm 2.8 is a FF lens. For APS-C, The Zeiss Touit 50mm is IMO the best choice of macro lens in the 50mm focal length.
