Selling Nikon D850 Nauticam setup
It's possible that it coincided with me deleting the .heics. Try reloading.....

Selling Nikon D850 Nauticam setup
Hey Lauren The .heic images that you have attached don't work and I'm going to delete the place holders. As Dave suggests, much better if you attach .jpgs. No-one really wants to have to download individual .heics even if they do work. Good luck with the sale.

UWT with HSS on other than Retra strobes?
I wouldn't necessarily rule that out. As Chris suggested, drop Pavel a PM and explain the issue. He's really helpful.

UWT with HSS on other than Retra strobes?
I don't know how complicated it would be to enable TTL with HSS but I do wonder why you would bother. Manual exposure with strobes isn't difficult - far from it - and using HSS doesn't make a great deal of difference, if any.

Hey Chip Sounds like you don't have that dark band issue that Nemrod is getting? Tim

Question on dual flip lens holders
That’s a good question. I didn’t like using one close-up lens with a flip holder. It felt in the way. Two???

What new flashes???

UWT with HSS on other than Retra strobes?
Hi Nemrod I'm no camera sync expert - Pavel is The Man (the UWT Man) - and I'm sure will chip-in. Agreed on not kitchen table-testing, but if you have a bath or even a decent size sink or tub you can fill with water, you can always try the strobes in that. That said, if you are getting that dark band above 1/500 that does sound like a sync issue. I can fire at 1/2000 with HSS and have no problem. Pavel?

UWT with HSS on other than Retra strobes?
Yes, I have a UWT board and use HSS quite a lot but with Retra strobes. The HSS setting is indeed Manual but that’s a setting on the strobe not the UWT board. The board needs to be set on whatever the correct setting is for Marelux. You then use the strobe controls to select HSS.

Couldn't agree more.

Struggling with Buoyancy
Yeah, as David suggests, rig a hard lead dive weight underneath the tray. A little trial and error to determine how much weight you need, but once you’ve done that, it’s a simple, easy solution.

A major upgrade, v2.0, has just been announced by Nikon to the Z6III. Bird tracking is one of the improvements most featured in the media but unless you are planning to photograph loons diving underwater, the following link might give you a better idea of just how much is contained in this update: https://downloadcenter.nikonimglib.com/en/download/fw/571.html

Yes, but what has that got to do with it, eh? Have a great time! Where in Indo are you going? If it's anywhere near Triton Bay, could you look out for my torch. You know what it looks like.
