Well, I have to say I was completely stunned. We're talking about 1500 USD versus 4500 USD for the housing alone. That's a 200% difference. Then, of course, you would need to see it up close. But I really can't figure it out.

Thanks for the photos, I think that in my current configuration that cable would a major PITA. When i was young 😉 I used to have the monitor positioned as you. Now with my fading eyesight I put it on top forward and the connector/cable would hit the left floating arm.

I discovered that in their new aluminum housing line they have a GH7 housing and many all but I couldn't find a Panasonic lens chart. 5h3 new macro ports are not listed even on the OM lens chart. Furthermore I found their extensions in another leaflet. I couldn't understand if they have one post size for all. The GH7 housing has a huge port lens opening. https://www.seafrogs.com/Products/GH7.html

Do you have a photo of your setup? If you mount the monitor centrally on the camera.l, won't the gigantic HDMI connector coming out on the left hit the left floating arm? It doesn't look possible to tilt the monitor without hitting or moving the arm.

Hi Bill, Welcome aboard! We miss a freshwater passionate! Looking forward to your contributions. Ciaooo

This is one of the moments that I am thankful I use an M43 system. the Lumix 12-35mm F2.8 is 68 x 74 mm. This monster is 84 x 142 mm. Basically, the Lumix is as long as the Nikon is wide.

Does it vignette on the wide end?

Looking at the matter from a little further away, there is a whole series of Chinese companies that have been in their respective markets for years with basic, simpler products, but have now made a big jump in quality technology. Seafrog is definitely the only one in the housing sector, but how can we not notice what is happening with lenses? The camera lens market has seen a growing and aggressive presence of Chinese manufacturers, who initially focused on manual focus optics, but are now offering an increasingly wide and competitive range of lenses equipped with autofocus. These brands are making technologies and performance once reserved for higher market segments accessible to a wider audience. To name a few: Viltrox, Yongnuo, Meike, TTArtisan, 7Artisan, Sirui, Brightin Star, Laowa. And staying within our industry, how can we not notice a huge leap in quality and offerings from brands like Kraken, Weefine, AOI, Scubalamp?

Yes, competition is always good!

I have the Lumix 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 II OIS paired with WWL-1B. Gorgeous at 14mm and really soft from about 35mm to 42mm. IDK if it's the lens itself or the WWL. Great combo for video work anyway.

It's a macro port too. Old but quite unique. Nick Hope, a glorious WP member, used it for most of his underwater videos. His videos have more visualizations than the BBC' ones
