  1. Ciao Beppe, Welcome aboard! We hope you will enjoy the forum. Ciao
  2. Unfortunately all those devices (using the 555 timer) work only if the powered device is on. So, in this case if you shut down the camera the keep alive device doesn't send the pulse. As tou wrote he could connect the keep alive on another port but it need a minimum resistance load as a small led or a resistor. Edit: Another test to be done is using the camera sleep functionality instead of powering it off. """Maybe"""" the small amount of current drawn is enough to keep the power bank awake.
  3. Impossible to know. I have everything Nauticam and I use their lubricant. I only noticed that Nauticam one looks exactly the same i use on my O2 cleaned regs and rebreather.
  4. In 15 years, I have never had to buy any grease for O-rings. Every housing and every Nauticam port comes with a tube inside, and you need so little of it that they are practically infinite. IIRC, in the past, at some trade show, I even scrounged a couple of tubes from the Nauticam importer by threatening him 😁 Having done technical diving for over 20 years, I can confirm that it must be a lube with a percentage of PTFE. Nauticam lube is practically identical to oxygen-compatible lube . Christolube is terrible because it leaves dry residue, unlike other apparently unbranded types that I use.
  5. Hei @atus any news on your Med BW?
  6. Are you going to add them to the store?
  7. But at that point you have more compact capable cameras expressly made for content creators with proper af, microphone and I/Os
  8. And it helps a lot spending money 😁
  9. It is quite a problem. Action cameras have fixed focus and everything works perfectly because the sensor is tiny, but even with a one-inch sensor, issues start to appear and so manufacturers make compromises. The matter reminds me of what happened with the old Insta with the one-inch sensor years ago. YouTubers noticed that they couldn't take selfies at arm's length because with the one-inch sensor, the minimum focus distance had been set to about one meter. To solve the problem, someone even came up with the idea of adding a small lens attachment to allow focusing at less than one meter. Probably the design of the new GoPro lens creates problems for the wet lenses currently on the market, and who knows, maybe they will have to be redesigned specifically for this camera. Strange that the same thing doesn't happen with the old one-inch Insta360 too or maybe it's there but nobody notice it. Here the old video:
  10. Hi Giacomo, Could you please link the "bad news" ?
  11. Are you sure? 🤣
  12. Classic cold shoe adapter. You could eventually use a cold shoe to 1" ball and then using a clamp for a better adjustable rig. P.S. IMHO IMHO IMHO In the future I would buy a proper port for wide angle. The whole idea to film macro medium wide in one dive is a BS...
  13. Never had a flare problem shooting video against the sun. Are you sure those flares come from the wwl and not the lens itself?
  14. It's not a subforum but a different part of the website, specialized for sell/buy items with a bunch of specific features.

  16. Good editing and nice ambient light colors in Canon style. Did you also use a red filter or did you just do a simple MWB? ciao
  17. We have probably the best article in this topic:
  18. And probably for the same reasons I explain here. The electronic IBIS must know the real lens FOV to electronically compensate your movements.
  19. Since we are really splitting hairs now 😄 Here is my take. One aspect nobody has talked about is shooting in murky water with the WWL. In my experience, the WWL suffers from the same issues as the EMWL, and I don't see why it would be any different. I happened to shoot video in a river where there was a lot of mucilage in one area. The mucilage particles inevitably ended up in the space between the lens and the port. Unfortunately, you couldn't see anything with the naked eye on the monitor, and by the time I moved into an area with crystal-clear water, it was already too late. My buddy, using a standard port, brought home several good shots. Mine were all to be thrown away. Also, for anyone who takes video seriously, I should point out that wet lenses that change the lens FOV trick the IBIS algorithm, which needs to know the focal length of the lens. The impact is minimal, but the footage will never be rock-steady. People have always thought I was a bit crazy, and I believed this was a problem with Panasonic, which has the best IBIS on the market. Then recently, @bghazzal sent me a link to a Nauticam page about Sony cameras that talks about this exact issue: Nauticam "forgets" to mention that 99% of the time its users are using zooms and not prime lens...
  20. Hi Rafa, Welcome aboard! I'm hearing "downsize" a lot, lately... Ciao
  21. From what I understand, then, the button on the Nauticam housing works. I don't have a Canon, but... check the EVF settings. In Lumix cameras, there are settings where the EVF and the display can be set to activate exclusively. As soon as you bring your eye close to the EVF, the display turns off. There is a proximity sensor near the EVF. When you close the back of the housing, it's as if you were bringing your eye close to it. Maybe there is some setting causing this mess. Without the housing, try covering the EVF with a finger and using the button to see if it works. Ciao
  22. I have it too on my Nauticam port but it didn't show on video.
  23. Hi Alex, Welcome aboard! We hope tou enjoy the forum. This is an introduction forum so it's better post questions on the relevant forum. Ciao
