Phil testing the Laowa 10mm on split shots... 😄

In my fifties I went from total black to black with some other color. I put it down to my midlife crisis 😉

Stunning images show an ecosystem’s upheaval as it warms at an alarming pace. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-024-01128-y

It's pretty heavy but I see that on the back there's plenty of space for a pvc float.

Still very expensive thought 10 orings of that type in an hardware store don't add up to one dollar. I have never understood why manufacturers of various types of diving equipment continue to want to make money on o-rings. A set of o-rings from my previous rebreather from the manufacturer: 100 €. At the hardware store 10 €.

Maybe this one is better: Corals - A guide to the identification of the main genera of coral reef builders of the Indo-Pacific Region Rossi G (2021) Italia onlus, Ancona. 441 pp. ISBN 978-88-944253-5-2 - 66 genera described - 900 pictures - Identification key Down to the page here: https://www.reefcheckmed.org/italiano/sea-store/ I know the author and I have the Italian version.

Don't you a friend who can borrow you a battery to test? IIRC Gopro batteries are the same until the GP9/10

Didn't you find anything useful here?

I have a GP5 and a GP11. Both start with an external power supply but IIRC the GP5 wants a working battery inside. So as Tim suggested, it could be a dead battery.

We have the same problem in the Mediterranean as well, and there are several projects, sites and groups on SNs where we report these sightings. The main source is the Suez Canal where several species transit from the Red Sea. They used to remain confined to the south. Now with rising temperatures they can be found further and further north, and by now some areas of south of Italy are tropicalized. Scorpion fish, Comb fish galore. Now fireworms have arrived in Tuscany. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Lessepsian_migrant_species

Welcome onboard!

A University of Adelaide study of shallow-water fish communities on rocky reefs in south-eastern Australia has found climate change is helping tropical fish species invade temperate Australian waters. https://www.adelaide.edu.au/newsroom/news/list/2024/04/23/tropical-fish-are-invading-australian-ocean-water

Just read the above messages and Introduce yourself in the specific forum 🙂

Ball mount oring code is 2-209 https://www.sealsonline.com/index.php?id_product=81454&controller=product&id_lang=1

Maybe Nauticam changed the pinch lock size?

Usually I don't like uw Sony colors at all but these are the best colors I saw. I thought they were Canon clips 😉

Hi Matan, Welcome onboard!

If Pietro grabs one for you let us know your findings!

Same Showa gloves (XL) here with thin liners. I'm not able to insert my fingers to pinch the lock and I'm afraid to lose it into the blue. Maybe I have to exercise in front of my TV 😛

Welcome to our den 🙂 I'm sure you will find other fellow photographers to share this passion.

IMHO, If going to Sony route I would suggest an A7SIII. Still the best video centric camera from Sony and there's a huge used market so you could find a good bargain. For crop sensor I would choose a Pana GH5. Still solid performer. One of the best all round video centric camera out there. If you find a GH5MKII body you get a 4K@60p 10 bit while on the original GH5 is only 8 bit. As the A7SIII, the GH5 was a best selling camera so full of bargains on the used market.

We already explained in other threads that all the world (including cinema productions) monitors in REC-709 while filming in Log or RAW. You keep assuming that all we have the same problems you think to have with your Sony. BTW Among the countless professionals I follow, no one films in "HDR." They all film in RAW or Log with camera capable of real 14 stops of Dynamic Range and 10 bits (at a minimum). The most important thing is that in RAW you film in 4:4:4 i.e., you do not have chroma subsampling. At that point, in post production it is a matter of "preserving" this information during delivery. Hence HDR. But again, they all, ALL monitor images in REC-709. https://www.quora.com/Are-movies-shot-at-HDR-or-is-HDR-added-later https://www.canon-europe.com/pro/stories/cinema-raw-light/ https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chroma_subsampling Regarding monitor weight: on my pocket, 900$ against 4K$ worths the hassle of some buoyancy compensation. If 3K$ makes no difference to you, that's fine but don't draw universal rules from it. You are resuming a discussion from April 5. What has not been clear since the last warning about personal attacks given by Tim & Chris?

There was a similar thread on Wetpixel with several photos. I can't use my WWL's hard cover because I fail to operate the lock with my dry gloves.

Welcome! Nice to have with us!

Yes, the Retra one seems to be the classic 1/4-20 photographic thread
