  1. As recently as couple days ago I was in the same situation which monitor solution I should give a second go. So it's still in my head and so I might be long on this one 🙂 I actually bought this Divevolk solution after having terrible experience with Weefine's WED7 couple years ago. The problem with workarounds like divevolk is that they do not tend to work when one would need them. Forget about the lag, it's not that bad, the connection and the reliability of establishing it over and over - at least on Sony - is the real issue for me. So when I imagined logistics on a live aboard where most of my dives are with 3-4 dives per day checking the footage in between the dives - it was a real nightmare. Plus the element attached to the housing should be placed on acrylic effectively blocking access to camera monitor... So I swallowed the pill and bought Shinobi with Nauticam housing... I was also researching the other Chinese units, Kraken with their 3000 nits looked promising but all that proved to be a vaporware. For one their negative buoyancy is like 600+ grams (what they say, so double it, I think Wed7 was like 1000g if I remember well) and second they lie in their marketing specs about the size, ability to import LUTs etc... And so the available options for at least 1000nits monitor shrunk quite a bit and since I preferred long battery life over recording capability it was Shinobi. Good luck.

    Hi there! Found this forum when tempering my GAS 🙂 . Got my first camera in 1978 (I guess I am old 🙂 ) but I started diving only in 2018 as there was a lot of BS among malawi cichlid keepers and I wanted to know how the fish really lived. So I bought GH5S and Aquatica housing and flew to complete my AOWD to Nkhata Bay, Malawi with altitude diving experience as a bonus 🙂 (did you know lake Malawi lies about 500m above sea level... 🙂 ) Fast forward 5 years and 500 dives with most of it with side mount I switched to Sony A1 in Nauticam eco system, even got me EMWL 🙂 , Retra flash, some 12000l solar flares for video and my hobby lately is to print my pictures in 1x2m wall tiles as my dentist offered me a sweet barter deal if decorating his clinic 🙂 . So A1 would be paid for now if it wasn't for my teeth 😄 . Cheers! 🙂
