Very affordable/cheap by Nauticam standards. It must be said that the camera is truly minimal (too much so, IMHO) and has very few buttons. The housing is reminiscent of an FX3's. Even though it's simple, this shows that the price of the housing is totally arbitrary.

We could start another topic with a list of the most common dive destinations in Indonesia and later we could add a poll 😄

Hy Gus, Welcome aboard! Ciao

Hi Dave, Welcome onboard. I hope you will enjoy our new home. Coming from WP you will find a lot of familiar names here. Ciao

Normal Subal housing are silver gray. I guess the black anodising is more susceptible to discoloration. P.S. I'm that guy with a completely whitish Nauticam housing 😁

Welcome onboard Rick! We hope you enjoy the forum. Ciao

I used something like this on my GoPro 11 in a meter of water... but I was watching trouts from a river's Bank 😁 Anyway it works but it mainly depends on the remote app capabilities. BTW nowadays abproper monitor costs less than 1000 euro.

Hello ACHIPo, Welcome aboard! Quite a journey to finally land here 😅 Ciao

Wait wait wait. Maybe I'm wrong Did you set the BBF to act as one single button press? I'm under the impression that you need to keep rhe BBF pressed to maintain focus. Hence your problem. I'm asking because on my Panasonic camera there's an option for this: focus lock works only until the button is pressed. On my previous camera it was the default and I changed it immediately.

Hi guys, Does anyone have the V2 version of this monitor? There are no manuals online, and from the photos, I can't tell if it's possible to mount the 1" ball both on the top and the bottom.

Wow, terrific video! Half man, half gyroscope! I wish I could be as stable as you, shooting freehand with the diopter lenses!

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?
