Housing will not flood. USB-C port will short atleast Canon R5, dont ask how i know 😉

I got this and must say its one of the best bits of kit. Specially with mirrorless cameras (i have A7RV) using so much battery, i can comfortably charge from power bank on boat. Only issue i have is download speed. Maybe i have a sunday version of the cable or something. When i plug my laptop into the port, download is very slow. When i take out camera and plug camera directly to laptop with same cable as previously, speeds are 4-6x.

Main problem is SJD, but there was reports it happening in MEX also. In this thread or some other. Of course not as big there, but still.

Here is the quick rundown of the post. This is a prototype of the new top end strobe from INON in the hands of INON Roving Ambassador, Takuya Torii. INON is still finalizing the design, but here are a few of the features Takuya has explained to me. Firstly, it’ll be a powerful strobe, with the final guide number still to be confirmed. Secondly, the S-TTL has been further developed. A secondary S-TTL mode is included specifically for macro photography to dampen down overexposure which can sometimes be a problem for many TTL systems. Thirdly, two LED modelling lights are built in, one white for normal use and one red. Red can be helpful for photography of shy animals found lurking in the shadows during the day or are nocturnal and that are disturbed by white light. The new strobe will be compatible with the light modifiers for the Z-330 and D-200, including filters, strobe light shade and snoot. It retains the same battery cap and O ring design as well and continues to operate from just four AA cells. For now, there are no delivery dates or price estimates.

Hi, Im trying to start my clip library. Im just totally clueless how to rename files, make folders per trip/day/site, rename per subject, rating. All of that. Just wondering if theres any helpful tips from good folks here how to set it up. Preferably solution that works OsX and Win.

Interesting. Of course not seeing it from the back, or have any additional info, its very easy to just speculate for now. So lets speculate 🤣 T shaped flash tubes and just the general appearance from this one picture gives me Z330 vibes, with nothing new? Obviously need to see from back if anything has changed (buttons to be better for one?)? Is it going to be Li-Ion powered or old Eneloop still? Really hope there will be more official or unofficial info soon.

Probably where it says "Trump"?

That only applies to flights on Batik, not others within Lion grp (Lion, Wings, Superair). And its 15kg with alot of paperwork, good luck with that. Garuda does have 23kg for dive equipment, but unfortunately they dont fly to alot of the dive destinations in Indonesia.

I travel with Lion Air about 20-30 flights per year and never had any problems with luggage. I have 1x20kg checkin for dive equipment and clothes and 1x25kg checkin for camera equipment (excluding body/lenses/batteries). So about 45kg total to check in. Pretty much always bought that 30kg online and then its hit/miss at the airport will the charge for the remaining 15kg. If they do its about 100k per kg (depending on route), but sometimes they dont. Never hurts to be polite. My carryon is maximum size 4 wheeled that weighs about 15kg. Never had any problems taking that to the plane. Most locals have 2-4 bags with them. Best advice with carryon imo is to try to board early so you will get space in the overhead bin. Also a special mention if you are new to flying domestic in Indonesia, keep hold of you bag tags until outside yor destination airport. Specially at the smaller airports there is someone checking that your bag tags numbers corresponds to the ones attached to luggage. But like i said, this is more at the smaller airports anymore. All in all, dont worry about it and have cash for the excess luggage (bigger airports take CC).

Thats one way to "protect" the national park, make it too expensive to visit. Socorro is nice, but not worth 180USD per day in park fees on top of liveaboard. Even the old 90USD per day was on the steep side. Thank you Mexico, trips were fun but no more camera taxes and ridiculous park fees.

Lot of new "small" strobes at DEMA, Scubalamp, Retra, AIO. But no Inon that everyone is waiting for.

What i think i remember, back in the days Nauticam was the cheaper aluminium housing when it hit the market. Now 15 years later, it has become one of the more expensive ones. I feel like Marelux is doing the same, offering aluminium housing cheaper than competition. (Disclaimer, i just checked some Blue Water prices). That being said, i havent tried Marelux housing underwater, but i have compared side by side A7RV Nauti/Marelux. Couldnt say anything bad about either, some different choices have been made in design, but i probably wouldnt have any problem picking Marelux if i started this hobby now. I just have been using Nauticam for 10+ years, and its hard to change with all ports ect hidden away from family 🤣

October is coming to end soon, has this started shipping yet? Everywhere i checked still says 1-2 weeks until shipping. I was hoping to get this for my next trip, but doesnt look like it.

Honestly i dont see this replacing TG series as favorite compact for underwater use. This seems to be aimed for professionals on worksites ect. Webpage advertises first features like what disinfectancts it can be scrubbed down with if you take to processing plants, which sounds like its not really aimed for consumers. Price is also $300 more than TG. Im pretty sure we wont see any housings made for this.

I have D-Pros and Nauticam trigger (On A7RV), never had problem firing the strobes. I bought mine in Taiwan along with cables, maybe the shop just knew which ones to sell (or just lucky). I do remember the plugs being little bit "loose".
