  1. @Andrzej Czyżyk Welcome to Waterpixels Andrzej!
  2. @BLUEWAVEFILMS Welcome to Waterpixels Andreas!
  3. I figured it would be a Waterpixels shooter who would be first in the water with this. That advert @Davide DB makes me cry.
  4. @devinphotographer Hi Devin. Welcome to Waterpixels. What kind of stuff did you / do you shoot topside? This underwater stuff is a whole ‘nother world, eh?
  5. @Craine@Lewis88 Thanks folks. I've always wondered about making the Nauticam work with the A6xxx series since SeaFrogs could do it. The bulkhead charging is genius.
  6. @Lewis88 "I added Nauticam's M16 USB-C bulkhead, so I can charge my camera with everything assembled and vacuum pulled instead of disassembling to change batteries." @Craine The zed batteries have been a game changer for the A6xxx series. I have an A6600 but unhoused. I also have an old Nauticam housing for the A6000 - any idea if I can fit a newer A6 body in there?
  7. @PeterN Looks great. Thanks!
  8. @Craine I think the form factor and specs of the A6700 are really good, especially video. I would go that route if I didn't already have the A7c, housed in Nauticam. I'm sure you'll like Nauticam much better than Sea Frogs, which is really worth it for serious photo- video- graphers. I also like smaller APS-c lenses, which are great for carrying around topside. The Nauticam port chart for APS-c Sonys isn't complete, I agree.
  9. Another consideration, at least for me, is battery life. The TG wins here. I always liked the S and G Canons, and the Sony RXs, but their battery life sucks. Also, if you’re shooting ambient light and on-camera strobe only for macro, you might want a camera that is easier to white balance at depth. I think the TG wins here, too. Ultimately I would love a compact with a 1” sensor or bigger, manual controls, hot shoe, very close focusing and sharp optics - great tracking autofocus - 4k 60p video that shoots log with good control of rolling shutter. You know, the perfect camera. I’ve always loved compact cameras but they all have caveats. The best camera is the one you’ll carry and use. To get better images, though, your kit will get bigger and bigger.

  11. @DiverDawn Welcome to Waterpixels! We are mere shills for the underwater photo industry and happily help you spend your money.
  12. @Giancarlo M. Wonderful photos. Thanks.
  13. I've taken some stills from video, and if the lighting is good, it looks passable. Generally I try not to do that. On my Hero 7 black, I have it set to video by default. To shoot still JPEG photos at intervals between 0.5 to 5 seconds: Swipe left > TIME LAPSE > ICON (lower left) > scroll down to Time Lapse Photo > Command Bar > set intervals (0.5 to 5 seconds). Hope this helps.
  14. @harry Welcome aboard Harry!
  15. @jmorphy Welcome to Waterpixels!
  16. When my two orders arrive, I'll dispatch them to you @stiebs and if you'll kindly pass on the rest of the order I would be much obliged.
  17. Sorry to hear that. Let us know what you find out about repairing that.
  18. @stphnmartin Great video! Thanks.
  19. @Gmsalterego I think I understand what you are trying to do. A friend of mine will set up his GoPro to shoot two frames a second, and that handles his stills all right. If memory serves, these are JPG images. I gave up trying to shoot RAW stills as the shutter delay is far too long.
  20. @Joerg Arnold Welcome to Waterpixels!
  21. Any strobe you like will work but as Chris says, balancing them will be easier if they’re the same. I do have a friend who uses a z240 and a z330 at the same time and his photos look good.
  22. @Reefrunner Welcome aboard!
  23. @bvanant ever try iNaturalist? I post stuff there, and get yelled at frequently for misidentifying things.
  24. @ratfish Welcome Jon. Message me about the fiber optic cable.
