@RVBldr Great stuff man!

If you're in a hurry to turn off strobes, you might just pull the fiber optic cable. Usually I have enough time to turn off both if you're thinking about shooting existing light.

Excellent news!

Aloha and welcome Johan!

Aloha and bienvenidos Martín!

As others have noted, a luggage scale and a large bucket is de rigueur. If you're interested in Stix floats on ULCS type arms, the "jumbo" floats are 181g, and the "large" floats are 96g each. They look cheap in photos, but they're durable and infinitely adjustable. And you might need buoyancy for the macro port if you add a flip diopter holder.

It is a very cool looking crab!

@Chris Ross That looks great. A cool bit of kit.

Aloha and welcome Precha! Some great diving in Thailand! What kind of photography equipment do you repair? Old film cameras? Best, Craig

PMing you.

I missed that bit about being a universal housing ... very interesting ... but still more than my trust fund will allow.

Aloha and welcome. This doesn't seem to change the game much. It's expensive, fits the usual suspects, and is big and bulky.

I think both would be nice. You get to see how a creature moves, and it may allow for seeing it from other angles.

Aloha and welcome Ross! Looking forward to your tips and tricks!

Looks good. Maybe this will herald a new line of larger sensor compacts.

When I click on your link it goes straight to the email page. I’m using Gmail. Craig

Brilliant.

It's a bit bulky and likely would be, literally, a drag to haul around clipped to your BC. You could do it by drilling holes in it and threading some cord. The cap clips use small springs, probably sourced for getting wet, but you might want to ask Nauticam if they can tolerate this: https://www.nauticam.com/pages/contact-us Craig

Aloha and welcome!

My Z240s have been good for 4 dives/day using Eneloop Pros with no sign of needing replacement.

Thank you. I keep trying combinations that will make my kit less cumbersome. Maybe one day Google Masks will feature a full frame sensor, edge-sharp fisheye to 100mm macro and strobes firing from our fingertips. Oh, and no tanks of compressed air.

And you were able to zoom through to 50mm? I found that it worked fine at 16mm but would allow for use at 50mm.

Ugh, the tradeoffs! I try carrying the bare minimum in the cabin to make photos if my checked baggage disappears. On my most recent trip, that meant a camera, housing and one strobe. Luckily, I've never lost anything while traveling. Knock wood. Craig

Sounds very much like a dome at this point! 😉

Yup, nobody's fault except our own. I figure it was worth a try, especially because I value that 24mm equivalent perspective. I'm not sure if it's sensor size versus close focusing ability - probably a function of both. This is very likely elementary physics for some of our members. Just a head scratcher for me. Eh, @dhaas does this work on the 1" compacts?
