    I looked at the maximum size of the "small item" but my R5 housing is far bigger ... I'll probably have some problem with this solution if I try it
  2. CaolIla
    Thanks, Your experience confirm exactly what I find using the new MFO-1. It's a great lense, it change "all"

    I was thinking about the customer from the USA who ordered the new Retra Maxi... hummm it will be an expensive thing 🤮
  4. CaolIla
    I'm so happy to be in Europe 🙂

    The only one I see is to put a macro lens I have a double flip with the MFO1 and the SMC1 but I agree 95% minimum is with the MFO1 on place

    For 16 AA batterie If you want the STL file please MP

    Very interesting... I'm waiting for my new Maxi... and depend of the results stay on the retra pro X with super charger or only the Maxi....

    I had the same information in my mind. I have 2 box with 16 AA each... But I will for the next time travel with a extra set of 4 batterie just in case I have trouble with one of my 4x set

    Yes I bought the last Eneloops pro for more or less 5 € / pc. In comparaison of the cost of a dive trip... hummm it's nothing The old one (not dead) will be used at home at different place.. where they will last enough. It's the second life for it. Not a bad idea
  10. CaolIla
    OK with you... we have the same situation for the trip in Maldives 50% more Where are the justification ? For sure not the salary of the crew

    One month ago in Zurich airport security control... wouah 2 x 16 AA baterrie box... ( and a box with 6 x 32650 ) It was the first time i've been controlled... and that the agent wanted to make problems... To many batterie... but it wasn't Li-ion bat... and I said it for 2 person... I was lucky the second agent said it's OK...

    My Eneloop are younger, I bought new one before my last holiday. My feeling is that with the new one I had more time before they was "empty"... I'll buy a new set of 16 for the next trip. I use a booster on each strobe I'm happy to have orderer the maxi then it is more and more it is a problem changing the AA

    Some of my float made over 200 dives and deeper some dives was deeper as 50 m (not far from 200 feet) PLA, and the last in PETG allways with epoxy some time with fiberglas cover and the last one with carbonfiber My arms are not only float but are arms with the problematic to have at the end a retra + one bigblue lamp

    But you will need a good insurance... I didn't trust to 100% and in the time waterproof parts. I made a lot on floating part llike arm) it work one year or more.... but at the end water is comming in.
  15. CaolIla
    Wouah.... No and I can not recommanded to do such a thing.. I have some experience in 3d printing for underwater objects... It works... 1 time 10 time 100 times or more .. and it break or you have some water in .... OK 614 € but what is the price of you camera etc ????

    Hi @Kraken de Mabini I wrote a new report (in french) following my last stay at the Black Sand Dive Retreat. You can take a look here Séjour plongées aux Raja Ampat et Lembeh du 23/02 au 18/03/2025 - Compte-rendus de voyages - Plongeur.com - Le site de la plongée sous marine The first part is Raja Ampat.
  17. CaolIla
    Same for me. all the arms are in the diving baggage.

    Small update of using the MFO-1 Maximun distance is less as what I believe... I estimate now on 1 meter with the RF100. I probably made 95 % of the pictures with it the last 4 days.
  19. CaolIla
    What I noticed is that it is much more easier to take such pictures... before it was complicate to put the focus then it allways go at the bacground. I love that
  20. CaolIla
    Hi I try for the first time today my MFO-1 with a Canon RF100 max distance beetween 1 and 2 m... but the first impression ... Waouh 🥰 Now I go watching the first shoot.
  21. CaolIla
    If I navigate without reference... only need to go in a direction I have my camera at the front of me and I swing straight to find the wrack or what ever I show the compass every 5 seconds 😉 it's totaly something else
  22. CaolIla
    Left right or up it s the same you don't look at the viewfinder 😉 On the top of the housing I have allready a gopro or a focus lamp or a compas... depending of the situation but never without something
  23. CaolIla
    Blackwater Dive... hummm ok a good argument if you have the information on the viewfinder. Otherwise ??? Personaly I have one dive computer on each arm..I only need to look at right or at left a little bit and I have all information I need. Also the pressure of my tank.
  24. CaolIla
    Hi Tino Thanks for the solution.. nice idea.... but I didn't understand why attached the computer at the photo housing... For me it MUST be on the diver. Sorry but if you have good argument I ll happy to know it.
  25. CaolIla
    Welcome Ross If you see a diver with an Isotta R5 housing and a red BCD a red rashgard red.... etc... next week under water, or on a yellow boat from the BSDR. It's me 😉
