  1. GoPro cameras are US products but probably they're manufactured in Asia. I'm curious about the price change in the future.
  2. It looks promising. We need more alternative underwater housing manufacturers especially in the more affordable sections
  3. Sounds really good, thanks for the information.
  4. Now I have the proper dimensions (98x58x6.5mm) but it's not really a popular size. After some extensive search I still haven't found a proper one. There are few similar sized ones but they are either thicker or taller. As an alternative solution I'm thinking to add the NAUTICAM M16 USB-C BULKHEAD WITH USB-C CONNECTOR.
  5. Great information, many thanks
  6. I've recently bought a used Nauticam housing for my Sony A6400. However, it was sold without the battery extension (it was not possible to send oversee or was sold separately). So now I'm looking for a replacement battery. Can somebody send me the dimensions and specifications of this battery and share a photo of it. Maybe I can find some similar product online Many thanks in advance Marcell
  7. I'm looking for a Nauticam N85 Macro port (#36135) for my sony 30mm macro lens. So if you have one not used and just collecting dust, please contact me. Cheers Marcell
  8. Why not to use the cold shoe as attachment point?
  9. I haven't expected a big splash in the water with my post, but I can see why this housing has not generated any comment. Most of us are happy with the plastic housing for GoPro and if we need a more professional solution we usually choose a a higher end camera with bigger sensor and better lens. So in my opinion it's a niche product but maybe I'm wrong and they sell loads of them. What do you think?
  10. I discovered today that Weefine has a new advanced action camera housing for GoPro 12/13 and DJI Osmo Action 4/5. https://weefine.com/CameraHousing/240.html It is a solid aluminium housing (depth rating to 100m), includes a built-in lithium battery and two M16 port for connecting an external monitor and/or vacuum valve or HDMI external cable. It's not compatible to our favourite AOI lenses but you can attache Weefine's own wide angle conversion lens (WFL14): https://www.weefine.com/WideAngleLens/241.html it's not terrible expensive and it seems to me a good buy if you need a premium housing for your GoPro or Osmo Action. I'm OK with the plastic housing and coax-cable remote controlling, so I probably won't buy it.
  11. Maybe 10 cm, but if your camera was deeper, the wifi signal wouldn't penetrate.
  12. I do this kind of photography with a GoPro. I found out that the fish don't tolerate bigger cameras, they even avoid an insta360 OneX2 in the Bubble housing. I use coax cables to transfer the wifi signal from housing to smartphone. It should work with other, bigger camera systems.
  13. My major problem with the smartphone photography/videography is that my phone on a trip is more valuable tool to risk a flooding. I use it for entertainment, check news, contact family, check-in flight, store documents etc. So finally it means, I would need a separated dedicated phone as underwater camera. In such situation, there are better small cameras. How much does a iPhone 15 Pro Max cost? In Germany it's 1100 euro. My Sony A6400 is currently 670 euro (30mm macro is 220 euro), which is a way better camera system. When smaller cameras considered, in my opinion, a Sony RX100 camera would be still a better more versatile choice than the best current smartphone. I haven't seen any decent macro videos from smartphone, while many fantastic footage Sony RX100 cameras. Lack of flash support is another issue with smartphones.
  14. I purchased a Nauticam housing from @dentrock. Fast and friendly communication, easy transaction and well packed fast shipping (insured shipping with tracking number). Highly recommended seller.
  15. I've just posted a 3-mins version. I can imagine a shorter version would even work better Cheers Marcell
