Please let me know how it works as I don't have the WWL-1 to test. The one question is if the bungee holes are properly positioned. You can always punch new holes if they don't fit. If they need to be moved send me some details so I can fix it.

https://makerworld.com/en/models/2391039-universal-dome-port-cap Added a model for the WWL-1 port. This will not fit on the WWL-C, which has an integrated float making it taller.

I can add the WWL to my existing shared model. Check again later today. However, based on several requests, i am going to try to make a WWL-1 style spring latch hard cover. For both WWL and 140mm Nauticam ports. Older 140mm ports don't have the notches inside the shade (the new Sony does) so it may also include a new shade.

What's the challenge with the strobe position? I just move them out or up or back & pointing inwards if you can't get them close.

One of my buddies was just diving with the main Inon dude last night. I will ask him to follow up about service going forward. He was shooting with the Inon 360s and hope to get a report on first impressions.

Gonna question your statement on Inon service. I had one of my Inon 330's repaired by their service operation. The power switches on the 330 were a common failure point after enough time. I had to send it to Reef Photo in 2022. They sent it on the Inon in Japan. They ended up replacing the electonics and flash tube for $450. Basically a brand new strobe in the original case.

There is always the Dremel Tool! Let me know if you need a custom extension.

This is an interesting thought. I would curious to see if there is a real-world impact from using the best size rather than best available from Nauticam. I may try your suggestion for the 8-15 + 1.4tc. Lets get more domes and the n100 housing in the tool so we can see more options.

I will image my domes today.

Backscatter Demo Video: https://www.facebook.com/reel/1006639595818673 But I made them before Backscatter did!!!I won't say that Backscatter stole these ideas from me... Let's just say that I anticipated the need for these in advance! 😝 And you can make your own for free... Or get them direct from me for cheap. OS-3 Snoot Adapter for the Atom strobeThe OS-3 snoot came out a while ago for the HF-1 strobe. It's a bigger snoot with more range that the MiniFlash snoots. I also went one step better and made Retra to HF-1 and HF-1 to Retra adapters. :) https://makerworld.com/en/models/3178015-atom-strobe-to-hf-1-accessory-adapter#profileId-3593974 HF-1 Reduction Ringshttps://makerworld.com/en/models/1746548-backscatter-hf-1-strobe-reduction-ring-macro-set#profileId-1856417 They only demonstrated reduction rings for the HF-1, but I also have them for the Atom strobe as well. https://makerworld.com/en/models/2766433-reduction-ring-set-for-backscatter-atom-strobe#profileId-3072067 I also have customized diffusers and filters available. Buoyancy Floats for the Backscatter Atom and HF-1 Strobes: https://makerworld.com/en/models/2877582-float-for-backscatter-hf-1-strobe-220g-buoyancy#profileId-3213508 https://makerworld.com/en/models/2877699-float-for-backscatter-atom-strobe-140g-buoyancy#profileId-3213648 What they didn't demo but are actually the best and most needed Backscatter accessories of all are Buoyancy Floats for the HF-1 and Atom. These strobes are quite negative and my floats make them neutral in the water. It makes a huge difference to the comfort of using these strobes. They are truly a game changer. Custom Floats fix the biggest shortcoming of the Backscatter strobes vs the Retra Maxi's. I have been selling a lot of these recently. The perfect gift for the UW Photographer that already has everything!

There was another thread that was discussing flange distance a while ago. The Sony n100 distance Mount to Flange was measured at 27mm. There are lot of other product variations listed as well.

Sony Nauticam is all n100, so their numbers will be different. But your Z8 value looks correct.

Thanks for sharing this! It looks like a great resource. I've seen using a 40mm extension on the Nauticam Z8 / 8-15mm / Kenko 1.4tc / 140mm dome combo. I'd like to see what your calculator reports. I just measured my Nauticam Z8 system and the Z-Mount to Port Flange distance is 66.5mm. Probably accurate to at least 0.5mm as best I could determine after multiple measurements. I also have a Zen170mm dome that I don't use much anymore but would like to see it represented to see what it can do. Zen 170mm specs:
