I work only with an MacBook Pro and use Lightroom since many years. In the last year i have switched to one catalog only. In this catalog are all pictures since 2000, during work or holiday i import new pictures direct to the SSD from my MacBook. (external SSD's are also possible) As soon i'm back at home, and i have done some work with the newest pictures, i move the original RAW files to my NAS-System. On longer trips i have an extra SSD with me for backup. At home make some backups of my NAS every week. With this workflow i can see every pictures from my catalog any time. With a lot of different collections i have also the possibility to access a lot of pictures with reduced resolution from any place. Hope this helps to find a good way for you!

Exciting topic! I've been fixing my computer's case for a while now, with a solution from Carbonarm for a long time. https://carbonarm.com/en/balls-and-terminals/77-computer-s-support-l-0806808286642.html However, with Carbonarm's solution, the fibre-connections were no longer so easily accessible, so I built a variant myself out of a tube cover. But I think the variant with corresponding 3D printing above is absolutely great, I'll have to think about it. Greetings from Switzerland, Tino old solution from Carbonarm new Version

Hi RomiK, Thanks for your feedback! I had had the idea for the monitor housing for a long time and at that time there were actually only recorders and corresponding housings, but they were usually very bulky and heavy. I then made the housing itself with a friend who used to build underwater housings. The result is a relatively light, simple case that meets my requirements. One of the biggest difficulties for implementation is still the cabling. For my/our solution we used sockets and cables from Nauticam. Doing something yourself was too complicated and too expensive. The topic of smartphones as monitors would indeed be absolutely interesting, but at the same time would also involve certain problems. You have to be able to operate the device, even if only minimally, which is anything but easy to achieve. USB-C instead of HDMI would become more and more suitable for the cable connection and there are some good apps. Unfortunately, there are no corresponding cables and sockets yet. But who knows, maybe sooner or later I'll get it again and start the project for a corresponding housing...

Hello everyone, With only 25 dives, the last year wasn't really productive in terms of pictures. But I still found two and three that I would like to show here. Lake Constance, Switzerland Mussel dinner Sony A7III, Nauticam-Housing, Sony FE 90mm Macro, Backscatter Mini Flash MF-2 with Snoot Night Dive - Ee, pike, perchs and diving friends in the background Sony A7III, Nauticam-Housing, Sony 16-35 F4, 180mm Dome, INON Z-240 and D2000 Greetings from Switzerland, Tino

Thanks for the feedback, in that case I'll look for an alternative macro lens if I switch to the setup.

Hello everyone, I'm currently dealing with the topic of Sony 28-60 kit lenses with a Nauticam WWL-1 and one or two questions come up. According to my research, the WWL-1 is basically compatible with different housings or ports. I think the WWL-1B only works with Nauticam ports? Is that correct? What are your experiences with the WWL-1 with ports and housings that do not come from Nauticam? e.g. Ikelite, Seafrogs etc.? Are there any problems, tips and tricks that you should be aware of? What recommendations do you have regarding bayonet systems? A colleague just bought a new case from Seafrogs for the Sony A7C with 28-60. How would you attach a WWL-1 there? Or are there even alternatives to the WWL-1 that we could look at? Thanks for your feedback, Tino

Hello everyone, I'm thinking about whether I should complement my current setup with the 28-60, or whether I should replace my current wide-angle setup. I currently use the Sony 16-35mm F4 with the 180mm glass dome from Nauticam for wide angle on my Sony A7III. For macro I use the Sony FE 90mm Macro with the corresponding port. Basically, I'm happy with the solution, but there are often situations and dives where a more flexible solution would be absolutely exciting. I'm therefore considering whether I should sell the Nauticam Dome port and buy the port for the 28-60mm instead. Plus a WWL-1 or WWL-1B. For minimal macro shots I would have a Weefine WFL05S. And for dives where I really want full macro quality, I can still use the 90mm. What do you think about the considerations? I'm flying to the Red Sea again in May after a long time and think that the 28-60 combination offers more flexibility. In terms of quality, the differences in the wide-angle range shouldn't be that extreme when using a WWL-1, or am I mistaken? For macro there is certainly a certain difference in quality between the 28-60 and an attachment lens compared to the 90mm macro. What certainly also speaks for the 28-60mm setup is the transport volume. I'm curious about your opinions and feedback. Greetings from Switzerland, Tino

I use a 5" monitor from Feelworld in a custom made housing. In my opinion, the size and weight are the most ideal in relation to the rest of the setup. A colleague uses a 7" monitor from Weefine and usually doesn't use it due to its size and weight. Greetings from Switzerland, Tino

Hello everyone, I'm new here and signed up after reading a lot of posts. I've been diving since 2004 and now have over 1300 dives, most of them practically on my doorstep in Lake Constance here in Switzerland. But I also dived into various warm waters: the Red Sea, Maldives, Croatia, Bali, North Sulawesi, Malaysia, Borneo, the Azores. Since my first dives I have been traveling with the camera and with a wide variety of systems. I currently have the following in use: Sony A7III in Nauticam housing Monitor housing (Custom made) Sony 16-35 F4, Sony 90mm Macro INON flashes (Z-240 and D-2000), backscatter mini flash Sony RX0 in Sony underwater housing Sony RX100III Above water I have a large Sony equipment with an A7IV as the main camera and various lenses. I'm looking forward to hopefully many exciting discussions! Greetings from Switzerland, Tino
