  1. Aloha and welcome Cameron! What's your area of expertise at Backscatter? Craig
  2. Keep the interior of the housing dry. If any dust, dirt or sand gets in there, remove those. If there is any moisture in the interior, this will cause fogging when the housing heats up - from the camera or the sun. It sounds as though there is already water inside the housing, or water is getting in through one of the button or dials. When you wash the sealed housing in fresh water, consider pushing and turning all the buttons and dials several times while submerged, this may dislodge any fine debris or sand that can become lodged. Every button and dial is a hole that can allow water, and only an o-ring or two are keeping water out. Also, remove the main o-rings and clean the channels. After the camera is cleaned, leave the back open to dry. Later, seal up the housing without a camera and take it for another dive. You might put some tissue paper in the housing to see if that becomes wet or the housing fogs. If it does, there is likely a leak somewhere. Good luck! Craig
  3. Aloha and welcome!
  4. Aloha and welcome. Diving Thailand is great!
  5. Looks like installation is a breeze. I shudder when I think about installing or removing my old UW Technics trigger.
  6. Aloha and welcome @EllenS
  7. @Mark Don It does look a lot like the waters of Kona, Hawaii. Correct me if that's wrong please.
  8. I sold a Nauticam N120 180mm dome 18809 to Joost Daniels who lives in Monterey, CA. An easy transaction.
  9. I used the EF 50mm macro years ago above water. Slow focusing and very loud (and I wasn't shooting videos). Maybe on a newer body it will show improved focusing speed, but this is a 30-something year old lens.
  10. Aloha and welcome Maroune!
  11. Aloha and welcome Kelvin!
  12. updated for sale of 18809 dome, and payment details.
  13. Agree with Chris: I would think you'd have to move the strobes to 9 and 3 o'clock or thereabouts to get your lighting to work. I would love having some wrap-around floats on the strobes much like some video light manufacturers (Kraken, Keldan) do.
  14. Aloha and welcome! I lived in Seattle in the 80s, but wasn't a diver then. Not sure I'd want to venture into the water without a drysuit! Craig
  15. Aloha and welcome. Much of the old gang are here! Craig
  16. Aloha and welcome Luca. There are plenty of (mostly) friendly people here who can help you. If there is a question you want to ask, you might also search for topics of interest. It's possible your question has been discussed - but - there are always new and unusual questions people have. Best, Craig
  17. Enjoy time with your mum. Great news on her health! Come dive with me when you're home. Best, Craig
  18. Marauder Pride! Very cool. Easy diving here than South Carolina sis.
  19. It appears we don't have that capability here. Best to reply to the original thread and state your changes.
  20. Update: Up for sale is a Nauticam housing for the Sony A7c in very good condition. Comes with UW Technics flash trigger and a Nauticam Sony flash trigger. It is vacuum ready. You just need the button and cap. It has fewer than 100 dives on her, and I would go far longer before I would consider servicing. $1750 plus $30 shipping. $1300 and free shipping within the USA. Add 3.49% if you require an invoice. 30 day money back guarantee from the date of delivery (you pay shipping and insurance)
  21. Aloha and welcome Dave!
  22. Holy moley Alex! That's mesmerizing and beautiful. Well done sir.
  23. Love that. Really nice work, and a lot of creatures we don't get to see often.
  24. I've had a single coiled (unreinforced) cord break as it was clipped to a lanyard on the side of a zodiac. As I saw the rig escaping, it was luckily only 40 feet to a sandy bottom. I use doubles with quick release buckles a la TimG. Great for shore diving, too.
