Welcome!

Can’t believe you splashed with orcas. Incredible, and more than a tad scary! Those things make great whites look relatively harmless!

Ben, This is stunning video! Thank you for sharing! Evan

Nauticam claims the MFO3 turns a 90 mm into a ~60mm. Does that mean it would turn a 60mm into ~45mm?

Welcome Jens.

I’m heading to Coco View for the first time in April. It will be my first time diving in the Caribbean since ~1980 in Key Largo (if that’s considered the Caribbean? ). Looking forward to just hanging out and getting my fill of diving!

Yeah, but M43 lenses are a bargain!😉

Davide, Great lens—it is on my wish list for above water photography. I’d be surprised if there is a port/housing that would accommodate it, but I’m interested in finding out as well. Good luck!

No info on DJI but GoPro is decent. I moved from a Hero 7 to a Hero 13 last year. This year I added a wet lens and HF1 lights, but I haven’t used the new rig yet.

Welcome! I’m pretty new here (and to underwater photography) myself.

Welcome. Fellow new member here.

Back Blaze seems to be a favorite of photographers. I’ve used Carbonite for years (well paid for it—never had to use it). It used to only cover one system, but now can cover a system plus a drive with no size limits. It’s about the same cost as Back Blaze. It seems like a big HDD as a local back up would make sense regardless as 24TB for ~$500 is pretty reasonable. The question is whether to insert a RAID/NAS as well? Definitely plan to use one portable SSD when traveling. Not sure about the second.

Thanks all. I already pulled the trigger on the 14” M4 Pro with 48 GB and 500 GB SSD. Also two SamsungT7 4TB SSDs. It should do the job. I actually got a few hundred off by going through Apple directly as part of the M5 launch. Now to figure out my back up strategy…

Bill, Thanks. I figured as much, but my buddy did stress that the M4 Pro was significantly faster than the M4 for LRC work. I assume the M5 Pro will be a similar step up. I just checked configs on the Apple site, and all the MacBook 14s max out memory at 32GB, so I think I'll wait a bit anyway. I'd like to get 48GB memory. Evan

What recommendations do you have for mobile editing hardware? I’ve avoided learning Lightroom and Photoshop, but it’s clear I need to jump in. I use my iPad for personal travel, but PC and Laptop for work. I’m retiring soon and contemplating moving to all Apple for synergies between iphone, ipad, laptop, and desktop. A friend recommended nano-texture MacBook Pro 14” with M4 Pro, 48 GB unified memory, 1TB SSD. Now that the M5 is out, but no mention of M5Pro, do I get the M5 or wait for the M5Pro? Thanks, Evan
