Anyone carrying their housing directly with them fully setup? I wonder if it could be a good approach?

thanks all! I was able to install it but it took me about 3-4 hour as i didn't have the right tool at hand. The hardest part was actually inserting the spring below this locking block. I just tried again and again with a tweezer until it was in the right position. Inserting the C-ring (eclip/circlip) wasn't easy either.. Would not recommend doing it (or ask someone with tiny hands to do it) Ultimately, I did insert the spring, but have no idea which of the two springs they provided to use, as the Nauticam adaptor i have (37303, bought in 2018) wasn't listed in the manual. however, it now works and holds the vaccum. Chris : the adaptor I have (37303), without the upgrade, would not let me lock on the newer WACP 1B which I had bought. It would slide in, but would not lock. Now that i have updated it, it works and seems to hold the vaccum. that locking block is a few mm lower in the grooves of the port.

THANK YOU, this is exactly what I needed - super helpful! Can I ask you which part do you own (37305? 37303/37304) ? I'll keep everyone posted on this, i hope i don't have any more questions :)

Hi, I am currently upgrading my old Nauticam sony adapter (100 to 120) using https://www.nauticam.com/products/upgrade-lock-mechanism-for-port-adaptorscompatible-36064-37304-37305 Instructions https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZsoDwPUN7HLy37r4JZpkj9ujNsKk_PPV/view I'm struggling to understand how and where to insert the spring on part 3. I just can't seem to fit it (esp the "on top"? the chart seems that it is behind it) Can a charitable soul send me a picture of their locking mechanism so that i can see where the spring fits? Thank you so much! Alex

Fantastic info, thank you everyone for sharing! And beautiful pictures!

By the looks of it, the first pic is definitely with flash while the others are not

Afaik sharktastic doesn’t go to Fav. I did that itinerary a few years ago and it was strobes full power all along. Reflectors can be useful if you have them

I am changing my mind, and thinking about a trip there (although probably liveaboard based) - does anyone remember how strict the local domestic airline (maldivian) was with carry on luggage? There are on the website strict carryon restrictions (5kg) ..

I’ve used my mouth a few times, takes several breaths but works as well. It’s just a bit awkward on the dive deck with everyone looking at you. 😆

Amazing! This should be posted as an article/update on the front page of the website, not visible enough :)

Wow it must be an error, definitely not the same price in euro/gbp/chf . sells new for about 500

As title mention, I'm looking for this piece https://www.nauticam.com/collections/pf-37202 Would want a seller from EU/UK preferably. Thank you

I would highly encourage going second hand (this forum, eBay etc). You can great deals there and this can make the next step more manageable.

Thank you, disappointing on the lens then !

Sony just announced their new sony A7V and a new kit lens https://alphauniverse.com/stories/sony-electronics-launches-alpha-7-v-and-fe-28-70mm-f-3-5-5-6-oss-ii/ Personnally, I'd be very interested in seeing how that new kit lens will work with current wet lenses setups from Nauticam.

Very neat ! I was interested in a loupedeck but the eye watering price pushed me to go open source on this one. I bought a MIDI controller and used Midi2LR to program it! works very neatly :) PetaPixelGoing Open Source to Make Your Own Loupedeck AlternativeThere is an extremely talented landscape photographer called Thomas Heaton whose YouTube videos I find very instructive and entertaining.

Thank you, i believe they were referencing the Sony 20-70f4, which is a different one than the 28-70 i was asking about. However i did find a comment on wetpixel from Phil comparing both 28-60 vs 28-70, and he mentions he prefers 28-60! (Feb 2021) Thanks!

Thanks, I was asking on 28-70, not 28-60 which as you said has been well documented. I'll check wetpixel if it still works!

Great shots! While i'm familiar with Nikonos adapter for Nauticam, are there similar ones for the Sea&Sea lens?

Has anyone shot the basic Sony 28-70 behind WACP? I'm asking because I was doing some cleaning and found that I had it, but never used it. How does it compare with the 28-60 (which I own and love for its size/quality). Thank you Alex

i have not noticed any optical difference between glass and acrylic. Fragility, weights and cost are the main factor you'll need to consider.

Thank you for sharing!

Sorry to hear this then. Does that mean that at the surface, now; none of the strobes work? If they do work at the surface, but not at depth, try unscrewing/rescrewing the PCBs of the battery cap/supercharger. I've had an issue a few years ago where one strobe worked at the surface but not in the dive. I ruled everything out and this was the remaining problematic item. It was a bad contact which i couldn't explain why it behaved as such only at depth.

I concur with Luko, this happened to me with older Eneloops. By any chance, do you always do a Test shot at the surface and does it work there? Are the batteries inserted in the correct way? I tried once and had a battery upside down and the flash worked for a couple of shots until it didn't

Dahab has a well developed Tech scene, I have a sense you may find what you're looking for there. I don't have recommendation but you should check the centers there. It's also a very relaxed location, and i remember it fondly (i used to freedive there). The reef was nice, but i suspect most of the diving there is blue hole related. Ask the dive shops :)
