  1. All sitting in a box, ready to ship.
  2. Well, I just upgraded from a GH5 to a GH7, so that is my vote with my dollars. I like the M4/3 format and was able to keep the lenses and ports that I already have, which helped the decision. Shameless plug: @Vitaly my old camera and housing are listed for sale in the classifieds, so you might be able to save some money.
  3. Another two Final two photos
  4. Two more Another two Another two
  5. Since my new Lumix GH-7 and housing have arrived, it is time to sell my trusty GH-5 camera complete with Nauticam housing. Everything works, the housing has never been flooded. It comes with the vacuum and water alarms, extra batteries for the camera and everything that you see in these pictures. The housing also has an HDMI port to attach a monitor. No lenses or ports are included, since I am keeping them for the new system. The housing has been used on a couple of hundred dives, and shows some wear, but nothing too major. The camera was almost exclusively used in the housing, so it is in fantastic shape. I am not sure how to access the shutter number, but since it was mostly used for video work, that number should be quite low. I would like to get $2800 USD plus shipping at your expense, but I am willing to negotiate reasonable offers. Please let me know if you need photos of anything else.
  6. Very nice, thanks. Good timing, too. The current issue of Alert Diver has a good article on diving Vancouver Island. Between the two, it definitely makes me want to get up there sometime.
  7. Cool, I am still waiting on my housing. When I placed my order, I was told that it would be delayed a bit, since Nauticam were about to start a new production run. I am hoping that this new run will have the housings labelled GH6/GH7 instead of just GH6, just for appearance. That protection sounds like a nice feature.
  8. Thanks folks, since i don't use a dome, I wasn't aware of how fragile they might be.
  9. Is there a reason not to just leave it on the boat so that it will be there when you get back to the boat?
  10. I bought some stainless shackles like that from Amazon when I made up my lanyards. Here is the link to the ones that I bought: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CJH89SZM?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1
  11. Yeah, I just discovered that as well. Ooof indeed
  12. Very nice work, thanks for sharing.
  13. Well, I finally decided to take the plunge - my new GH7 should arrive today. Then, I will be calling the usual vendors to get a housing. I don't have any dive trips planned right now, though, so it will be a little while before I get it in the water.
  14. Frankly, to me, the idea of the art of videography (I only do video) and competitions are inherently at odds. I have no interest in such competition and really don't even look at them, except as photos to see. I often prefer some of the runner-ups to the actual award winners.
  15. It partly depends on the context. If it is going to be shown where it might be noisy, or otherwise hard to hear, text messages are much more reliable.
  16. What @Isaac Szabo said. I love my monitor, but it does have some down sides.
  17. That is a shame.
  18. Mostly because I tend to get sidetracked by other options - paralysis by analysis. As I mentioned in another thread, I think that I want to move from my GH-5 to the new GH-7. That will require a new housing, but I can keep my current ports and lenses. This makes the most sense, but I start looking at all the other options, and the cost and then get stuck. I am lucky in that my partner actually doesn't mind what I spend on underwater video equipment, it is still cheaper than what I spend on sports cars and motorcycles...
  19. I am just about at option "c) buy more gear" - but can't seem to pull the trigger yet for some reason.
  20. I like to keep things as simple as I can...
  21. I also remove my handles for travel, but clean and dry the bolts, then put them back in the holes that they came out of so that I know where they go.
  22. I guess I am showing my age...
  23. Since the flag above your profile suggests that you are in Europe, you may want to switch back to PAL. As I understand it, NTSC is primarily used in the Americas, while most of the rest of the world uses PAL.
  24. Very nice work, especially the lighting.
