  1. Judge by yourself
  2. Absolutely not. I bought the gopro 11 for a specific project and in my spare time I use it to play with the family. I chose Gopro for the third-party accessories. I needed additional underwater batteries. Now, seeing what they did with the new battery, I think I will never buy gopro again in my life. The new more powerful battery fits perfectly in the old gopro but they reversed the connector to force me to buy new gopro. Many years ago, Google's motto was: don't be evil We know how it ended.
  3. @Chris Ross is way more technical than me... In the meantime 😉 Are you sure that sharp corners @F2 underwater do exist? (photo not video) Looking at the Nauticam Port Chart I find: null Asterisk indicates the best option which is the 140mm dome (5,5"). This is 1" more than your dome and there is an extension ring. Probably this depends on dome length. On my Pana 12-35 I have the suggested 6" dome. Even larger. At F2.8 I get a nice out of focus in video.

    This video is from our member @Tobyone 😇
  5. Actually the first in the water with a GH7 was our ex member Interceptor. You can find his review on his website and in the latest UWP magazine issue. IIRC he states that you can achieve 1/400 strobe sync with Nauticam trigger. No feedback yet on video features. I found another FB user who is using it for photos: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/FtvvKX7ncyfEEjDD/ Nauticam didn't release a new GH7 housing because their GH6 housing is fully compatible. Problem is NA-GH6 is one of the most expensive mirrorless Nauticam housing. The exaggerated price (probably due to the number of pieces produced) is a strong disincentive to its underwater use. Under these conditions, it is unlikely that the success of the GH5 will be repeated, despite the fact that the camera has a very good performance for video and even stills.
  6. Hi Peter, Don't misunderstand me. It is one of the best "gopro" video I have seen. I went to your introduction post to discover you were using a Gopro otherwise it seem really a mirroless camera. It is proof that a gopro in good hands (stable footage, good framing and good editing) can achieve as good as other cameras. This video is definitely a benchmark for anyone using an action camera underwater. On the final clip it looks like you have the red filter with the lights on. Hence the strong red cast on the nearby turtle. 90% of underwater videos shot with gopros have big problems with the stability of the footage. The gopro is very small and light and weighs less than the tray and arms. What kind of tray do you use and how did you balance it?

    See you tomorrow 🫣
  8. Nauticam has introduced its underwater housing for the new Nikon Z6 III. This third-generation midrange full-frame mirrorless camera is the first of its kind to feature a “partially stacked CMOS sensor.” This innovation offers many of the advantages of a fully stacked sensor—like faster autofocus, reduced rolling shutter, quicker continuous shooting, and higher frame-rate video capture—while keeping manufacturing costs lower. In fact, the Z6 III's specifications are approaching those of the Z8 and Z9, boasting 14fps burst shooting with the mechanical shutter and video recording capabilities of up to 6K/60p in 12-bit N-RAW and 5.4K/60p ProRes in 10-bit 4:2:2. As expected, the Nauticam NA-Z6III housing is crafted to fully utilize the Z6 III’s stills and video features. Nauticam’s signature ergonomic design is evident, with all camera controls strategically relocated to the most convenient positions around the integrated handles. The aluminum housing also includes the company’s integrated vacuum check and leak detection system, ensuring peace of mind before diving.

  9. Terrific article indeed. Pietro Formis is a WPX member. I wish there was a similar article for blackwater video too.
  10. Beautiful images and editing Peter! Are you still filming with Gopro + Inon? It is a pity that the WB betrayed you on the last clip of the turtle. It almost looks like you had a red filter. Thanks for sharing
  11. Probably, but in this case I felt myself very stupid. In the past I even applied a sort of bungee to remove easily the lens.
  12. @ 1:56 I would be already dead
  13. Or at least check the box properly... Tonight I was changing lens and port for WA shooting and opening the WWL case I noticed for the first time a small bulge in the inside pocket of the lid. So after 5 years of shooting with the WWL I discovered that there is a small thingamabobs to easily remove the lens. It is never too late 🤪
  14. Incense sticks left by photographers beforer the tiger sharks dive...
  15. I see that you have received no reply. There have been a lot of posts on this topic lately but always only about FF lenses and cameras. I don't think the topic has ever been addressed for cropped sensors. ready to be wrong....
  16. Hahahaha Nauticam Monument?
  17. Yes, from camera body to the housing bulkhead they chose the same cables used for fpv drones. The good: is cheap and easily available everywhere. The bad: fragile. Especially in the part where the connectors are crimped to the ribbon.
  18. I was interested in their 7" monitor which is a behemoth so I asked them some info. Here their reply: Depth rating and hdmi cable position are huge deal breakers for me. The 5.5" has a more ergonomic hdmi position but same weird depth rating. The only meaningful review is this but I guess you saw I already. If you are still alive, at the end, he speaks about a couple of weird things on the function buttons that could be solved via fw upgrade but who knows 🤷
  19. Thanks for your report. Looking forward to see your photos.
  20. I also switched to MK2, and I must say that it still defends itself well. One of the longest running cameras ever. Let's have a buying group to upgrade to the GH7 🤣 Great video and great return!
  21. Hi Caolla, I assure you that no one deleted your post. There must have been some technical problem in sending the message. Ciao
  22. I don't understand the meaning. Why don't you shoot plain photos?
  23. I see @Isaac Szabo got something to do with you photos... 😈
  24. Which depth and lens used for these photos? Thanks
