Maybe, just try. Actually I think the heat doesn't come from the screen in itself but the main heat sink lies behind the screen where there's the sensor. So, on land, opening the screen helps to dissipate the heat.

I asked Seafrags info on their Panasonic GH7 alu housings and they replied me that the Alu housings engineer team is completely different from the plastic housings team. They gave me the GH7 purt system:

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 Samuel, Welcome aboard! Tell us more about your passion. Which camera/system do you use currently? Photo or video? Ciao

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

Did you try to take some photos on land with and without a flash? Check the electronic contacts on the lens.

Bluewater added a coming soon Nauticam housing. Are they incurable optimists or do they have certain information? 😛 Same apply for the Canon C50 housing...

I would be really curious to try it with the PanaLeica 45mm macro. I'm currently doing a project, mostly macro, in murky water, but in the same dive, I also find subjects that are 20/30 cm large. I'm diving with the Pana 14-42mm with a flat port and the CMC-2 mounted on a flip adapter. This way, in the same dive, I can do both moderate macro and medium range. Theoretically, it seems like a great compromise, but in practice, I am hating this setup. Yesterday, I was filming a 3 cm blenny playing hide-and-seek in tunnels dug into the coral. With the CMC-2, I could film it in detail. Then, I wanted to take some wider shots to show the context the blenny was moving in. The 14-42mm zoomed to 42mm with the CMC-2 has a focus range of 77–124 mm. Even if I reduce the zoom and moved further away, I immediately go out of the focus range. But if I take off the CMC-2, the 14-42mm has a huge (MFD. Underwater behind a flat port at 42mm, the MFD goes up almost to 50 cm. Basically, I have a "hole" in the shots I can get—from too tight to too wide. Ah, I know, I can't have everything in life, but an MFO-3 and an EMWL, yes I can! 😂😂😂

Another option: Try contact Saga. They have a lot of Frankenstein adapters on their site and I know for sure they make custom ports/adapters.

H-265 it's not a viable codec for sharing. Use H-264. On the Deliver page, on the top left you can choose between several presets (ready made export settings). Try YouTube or others but not H-265. If it doesn't work, it's not a Resolve export problem.

Hi Kristin, Are you using Davinci Resolve? Which preset? I've never used FB Messenger, sorry.

I discovered that Nauticam updated its M43 port chart including MFO-1, MFO-3 and SMC-3. These new lens are listed for both Pana 45mm and Oly 90mm. Google DocsN85 Micro Four Thirds System 2025-08-27.pdf

How do you insulate it?
