  1. It should flash yellow first when it senses you are losing vacuum, flashing red is vacuum lost already. Funny enough, i had this today on 3rd dive, started flashing yellow at 20 meters, got up to 5 meter and it went to green again.
  2. I think my main problem was the material. As it was public library, no choice in material only colour. So both parts are same and no idea what. But hey, it was free and i got them to fit, so all good 🤣
  3. Printed these today at local library. Tight fit but got there. Putting into use next week. 👍
  4. I dont think my carryon has ever been weighed in Indonesia. I have around 60 domestic flights there on Garuda, Batik, Lion and Wings. Few times it has been gate checked on Garuda, not because of weight, but because of small plane and no overhead space. Garuda doesnt operate these plane types anymore. Normally boarding is pretty much "free for all", atleast on Lion Group flights, so better to try board with first to get some overhead space. If they want to checkin your carryon, you could try the magic word "lithium-ion"?
  5. Lucky for UW photographers, the body is Before the A7V was released, it was rumored to be same body as A7RV, but seems like its few millimeters off just like with the A7 IV. A7 V 130x96x82 - A7 IV 129x97x81 - A7 RV 131x97x82 Button placement looks same in all 3, so maybe a small conversion kit?
  6. Kraken is with same/similar slow cable. They are coming with new version beginning of next year with better cable. Thats what i was told by one retailer. Theres also something from Dive and See, pricey but usb 3.2 see here Fotocore seems to have come out with their own also see here With the Fotocore one, you could add the M16 vacuum valve?
  7. Looks like there is possibility to do some super super macro also. Facebook post said AF is still pretty good with stacked TC's. Not too much, but maybe some more info here
  8. The 50mm Sony macro is very sluggish, and you probably would be disappointed in performance. Your options are: 100mm, great lens but expensive 90mm, still a great lens and can be picked up cheap on second hand market now 60mm Nikon with Monster adapter, could be an option, I have had pretty good performance on A7RV
  9. Cameras most likely sit in different positions with different brands housing, so thats why the difference. My supplier in Asia told me that next batch will be ready 7.11 and ships same day.
  10. What caught my eye more, and most likely a typo i guess, is that they list both 1.4x and 2x to use 30mm extension.
  11. Most people neglect airline frequent flyer programs completely. By doing some research you will be able to easily take extra luggage(or extra kg's) for free, even on the lower levels. And then places like Indonesia you just pay a reasonable(normally) price per kg. Nothing like ripoff 150e per bag in Europe. But yes, i usually upgrade to business on intercontinentals.
  12. I personally use 2x Rimowa Classic checkin M and one Classic cabin. Cabin bag has camera body, all batteries, lenses, laptop, one change of clothes, medications and travel essentials, weight about 15kg+ Checkin 1 has housing, strobes, wet lenses, extensions, ports, arms, clamps, chargers. Basically everything else camera related. 20kg+ Checkin 2 has dive equipment and clothes 20kg+ I would just take any lightweight hard shell, Samsonite makes good ones. Im just a sucker for Rimowa and collect them also. In my opinion 4 wheels are must, lot less strain on your arms hauling them around, specially the carryon.
  13. Cant edit but everything sale pending.
  14. So here we go, for sale full Sony A7RV setup. Preferred to sell as complete, but open to some other options also. I do have buyer for housing only (possibly), but for convenience reasons all at once is preferred. Sony A7RV body, 30k-ish shutter, 2 batteries Nauticam flash trigger for Sony (#26302) NA-A7RV Nauticam housing for A7RV, padded case (#17433) Vacuum valve II M14 (#25624) USB-C M16+M24-M16 adapter (#26325+26326) WACP-C (#85205) N100 30mm extension (#37401) N100 port for 90mm macro (#37126) Sony SEL2860 28-60 lens Nauticam zoom gear for 28-60 lens (#37163) Sony SEL90M28G 90mm macro Nauticam focus gear for 90mm macro (#37147) Obviously cannot say everything is brand new. Camera and lenses are used for UW only. Housing has 4 trips on it, with 95% macro shooting, WACP has maybe 10 dives. More than happy to take more detailed pictures for interested. Located in Finland if anyone wants to come and have a look 🤣 Price for everything is EUR 9000 or USD 10500 for now and reasonable offers are always welcome. Shipping will be added. I do have the possibility to DELIVER in person in Europe (mostly cities where Finnair flies) and possibly to US as well next week or 3 weeks time. Preferred payment would be cash on personal delivery but bank transfer (Wise) is also ok.
  15. I think there was a report on some thread, or could have been Scubaboard or old Wetpixel, that someone got hit in Mexico City also.
  16. Lens has shipped today in China and few friends have theirs already. Surely Nauticam has one recieved in addition to their pre-production version and port will be out next week.
  17. I started to look and i cant find the Saga 20mm extension anywhere. Not on Saga website or any of their listed dealers.
  18. This is why you have a guide/spotter, to haul all the extra lights, strobes, snoots, lenses.
  19. Any educated guess if EMWL is still #3 with this lens? --edit As most would guess, Nauticam will be coming with dedicated port around the time of release. They are working on it currently. (Got email from Asian supplier). Hopefully we get a good (read easy and cheap) solution for TC's aswell. They seem to be bit "off" in length at 17.2mm and 27.2mm.
  20. Reviving this old thread. Does anyone know if the Kraken version of this uses usb 3.1/3.2 cables? Nauticam is old 2.0 and painfully slow to transfer files. Also Kraken is half the price.
  21. But also the camera body doesnt sit right on port opening, its some 30mm inside the housing. Sorry bad picture.
  22. N120 Macro port 87 is 110mm long.
  23. Most likely Nauticam atleast will make a new port for this. 20mm extension with the current port might work. Or some combination from N120 ports and 35.5mm N120-N100 adapter. But luckily the lens is cheap 🤣
  24. Looks to be actually not that expensive if this is true:
