Yes, exactly, it's the kit in Rome with the BlackMagic Video Assist. 😊 The kit has the 16cm dome port. At two-thirds of the asking price, do you think it's worth it? I'm still on the fence about committing to the bulky Easydive versus going with a second hand Nauticam. (Do you happen to know someone selling it perhaps? 😄) That actually ties into my other question: will a Nauticam housing for the GH5 family still be sellable in 5 years? For lenses I was looking at either the Panasonic 12-35mm f2.8 or the Olympus 7-14mm f2.8. Yes, it does seem odd that they claim basically every lens works with every dome, that was one of the things that made me a bit suspicious too. Thanks again for taking the time to break all this down.

Grazie mille for the detailed reply. Unfortunately I can't access the WetPixel threads. To answer your question: I shoot in the Mediterranean, mostly Liguria and Tuscany, from the surface to around 60 meters. My main interest is wide angle video, but I will also need to get close-up stills for some conservation projects. On the Easydive, the reason I was considering it is that I found an appealing package deal: housing, 16" dome, external monitor, SDI converter, float arms, and two 15k lights, all together for what seemed like a fair price. On top of that I would just need to service it (as with any second hand housing, I think) and buy the GH5 II adapter. In all the Easydive reviews (I know, a bit biased) they say all major functionalities are mapped, including the focus ones. The bulk out of the water, and underwater too, definitely gives me pause though. As for the neutral buoyancy issue with the lights, I don't see it as a major issue for now. A few of my diving friends use Easydive, all with Sony bodies, all the Leo3 WI (the smaller housing). Some of them mentioned that past 85-90 meters their Nauticam housings started giving them trouble, have you ever experienced something similar, like stuck or unresponsive buttons? Surely I have a lot to think about, upgrading my kit will not be cheap, neither with Easydive nor with Nauticam 😄

Hello to all! I am thinking about upgrading my kit from a GoPro to something more professional, I am diving 99% of the time in the Mediterranean Sea from 0 to 60 meters. I found some interesting deals on the GH5 mk2 and the GH6, and both fits on the Easydive Leo3 I am planning on buy with two 15’000 lumens lights. Do you have any suggestions on which one to choose, some drawbacks to be aware of, or recommended lens? Many thanks to all!

Hello and greetings from Italy! I joined this forum to ask for some advice on which camera to buy as my first one. I’ve found some interesting deals on the GH5 mk2 and the GH6, and I’ve seen some incredible footage shot with the GH5 series. I enjoy shooting mainly videos and am thinking of buying an Easydive housing and some 15,000-lumen Easydive lights. Thanks to all!
