  1. I allways travel with the dome mounted. (9") AND the Camera and lense in it. Why not ? Sorry for the question I'll probaly build some attachment to the housing then I remove the handle of it. But I have a litle bit time before the next trip. My idee is to make the checkin (if I see they are looking the weigth) with the backpack without the housing.. It will be more or less near 9 kg... and after that put agin the housing in the backpack. Like Christian and Romik we always try to travel with a 30 check-in allowance. And if it's not full it's easier to have argument for the discussion if they have problem with the weight of the backpack. The other partial solution is to take all the batterie (over 1 kg ) in the pockets...
  2. Oups it's the MFO-3... It's possible to change the title of this topic ? ;)
  3. This species can be watched at the fish market... Probably like we see that in Zanzibar
  4. For the MFO1 in my case it is really helpfull I like shooting with it. I'm waiting some other review over the MFO2... but I'm sure I would like it too. I'm using a rf 100 macro with the R5 and somtetime I don't dive with it because they are the chance to see some "to big creature" for it. With the MFO2 I'll probalby dive more with the 100mm then I'll be able to shoot bigger subject The main problem for me is to make a new flip with 3 and not only 2 lenses. 🤣
  5. I need a little bit time to read the description of the trigger and ask a kolleg (in holliday for one week) if he is ok if you send the trigger on his address.
  6. Hi Fabian What the price for a delivery in Germany, I you make a "good price" I'll probably take it. (I want to play a little bit with new lighting technic )
  7. Danke Wolfang, for this insurance I didn't know.. It's probably a good solution for us. Need to show if it possible to take this as french in France. Thanks
  8. Hi Wolfgang We was in Zanzibar in a period where the big tourist ruch is finished that's mean in january 2023 You can read my report (in french, but you can translate the page) Compte Rendu Zanzibar du 20/01 au 05/02/2023 - Compte-rendus de voyages - Plongeur.com - Le site de la plongée sous marine If you have some question ask here or in a MP (in Deutsch ist es ok , und besser für mir) Short response : the weather was not the best, in the north.. in the south itwas really good.. overall it was ok but I probably don't go back... I need to try Mafia
  9. Like @Chris DAN + Travel insurance (my solution for the moment) You have a combine solution Travel and Dive Accident Insurance Plans – DiveAssure offers you a wide range of benefits. It is not cheap but seems to be a good "all in one" solution You have some good feature like You can cover some dive day lost because wetter or if someone had problem on the boat and the liveboard need to be shorten
  10. Wouah the last photo... :) ❤️ I was 3 years ago in Zanzibar... we hesitated with Mafia. The main reason was the smal plane to arrive to Mafia. But I heard a lot of very good thing over Mafia. You confirm that this island is a good destination... I'll probably take a closer look for a next time. Thanks for this report. Danke Wolfgang.
  11. Sorry but we need a vimeo account to watch the video... from France I don't know for other country
  12. I watched the video (during work, i'm multitask ;) ) Humm not bad and neutral.. he only mentioned some brands . For some newbee it's probably good to invest this hour to watch this. Thanks @Davide DB for sharing this link.
  13. Wouah one hour video ....
  14. The new booster are really small in comparaison of the old one.. no reason for me to dive without it.
  15. Ready for the next trip with my new Eneloop Pro
  16. I made 2 more dives What me impressed is the fast recharge and the small use of the batterie. Another point is that the battery compartment is easier to close. The joints can no longer get stuck. With the Booster there are no 2 additional o-ring like with the Retra Pro. Changing batteries that were seriously starting to annoy me is much simpler and faster. I really appreciate this change I think it would be wise for Retra to sell the retra only with booster but to give the 2 closing parts for use with 4 or 8 batteries. But personally I don't really see the point of diving only with 4. Unless, of course, for one reason or another, we run out of batteries A small negativ point, really small. Before with the light giving the mode of the strobe it's vissible if you forgot to turn the strobe off. With the new one you see nothing... I dived on Thursday and I just saw that I completely drained the batteries because I didn't turn off the flashes. It's my mistake.. ok but a small (or long) beep or such an alert can be good after 2 hours without turning the strobe off. @Oskar - Retra UWT A small Idea for the next firmeware
  17. I need then I want to look at the result to change some setup if needed for the next day. An also the PC for some other task ;)
  18. @Pooley I really like the first one.. ❤️
  19. Hummm not sure. There is an other option.
  20. just ordered 32 Eneloop pro on Amazon 4€20 / piece
  21. You are absolutly right. On an other forum... I tried to make some interesting travel reports. Give a lot of (i hope) usefull information. Some guys didn't appreciate that... to many informations.. and for some they are a lot of jealousy. After near 10 years to give a lot and received a many thanks of some readers I have enough from this negativ people. That is a part of the reasons why i'm here now It is so difficult these days to find reliable information. Here I have the impression that there are friendly people who try to help and give good information Thanks to all
  22. I'm in France... I can't help for the taxes but I confirm it's DHL
