I vote for this. I’ve never used a mirrorless housing in a tropical climate—only small GoPro cases, where I’d place a little moisture-absorbing pad inside. Still, every time I opened the case, the pad was visibly damp. It’s incredible how much humidity can build up in the tiny space left by a GoPro inside its housing. Secondly, I would check the section of the housing where the port attaches. P.S. Do you mind if I slightly edit your title to reflect the actual problem/content?

Insta360 has officially announced the launch of the X5, its most advanced 360-degree action camera to date. Introduced on April 22, 2025, the X5 features upgraded 1/1.28-inch sensors and a high-speed Triple AI Chip system, which together enable video capture at 8K resolution and 30 frames per second. A new mode called PureVideo uses AI algorithms to enhance low-light performance, offering improved noise reduction and dynamic range. In terms of hardware, the X5 includes user-replaceable lenses made from highly durable glass, making field repairs easier and reducing waste. Other design updates include a built-in wind guard for better audio quality, increased battery life—up to 185 minutes depending on settings—and an IP68 rating, meaning it is water-resistant up to 15 meters (49 feet). The camera also introduces InstaFrame Mode, which captures both 360-degree and standard flat video simultaneously. The Insta360 X5 is available starting at $549.99 for the standard package. A more complete bundle, including a selfie stick and extra battery, is priced at $659.99. Additional accessories such as lens replacement kits and spare batteries are also available separately. https://www.insta360.com/product/insta360-x5

Beautiful image! It’s impossible to know whether it would’ve turned out the same without adding the MFO. My question is, does the Black Mojo focus range adjustment also happen with M43 lenses? Edit: my bad, I've just discovered that Nauticam updated its M43 N85 port chart with MFO: https://drive.google.com/file/d/180prPNEGE2nAfoxEYAq9FLkWj6XOiV-M/view

IIRC in the big tariff mess, there were already previous tariffs applied to China (and thus Hon Kong). That is why the White House specified that the current tariffs are at 145%.

The Bajo people of Southeast Asia have a deep connection with the marine environment. As descendants of sea nomads, they traditionally roamed the ocean to fish and trade, but today, most live in coastal villages or on stilts over the water. This short film focuses on the Bajo of Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia, highlighting their strong bond with the sea and the challenges small-scale fishing communities face. Impacted by overfishing, pollution, and biodiversity loss, they are struggling to survive. In response, some have resorted to harmful fishing methods, putting the health of the reefs at risk and leaving their future in jeopardy. www.ritahencke.com/film/salt-in-their-veins www.ritahencke.com/photography/salt-in-their-veins
