Matan

Just jumping on this topic - which mounts are you using? (model/brand) Matan.

I have the 12-60mm with SW8 dome - the 7-14mm I'm also considering for wrecks (but first will try see what I'm getting with the 12mm + dome). the flat port + bayonet + CMC1 is for macro so yeah the 60mm sounds the best - it just means selling my WWL-C. I was just wondering if I could still use it. if the Olympus 12-50mm won't get me the macro result I want well than I'll just have to live with not being able to do macro + WA on the same dive (which is what I loved about my LX10 + WWLC + CMC1 + bayonet). Matan.

@Davide DB but the 12-60mm doesn't seem to be on the list for that specific flat port. The Olympus 12-50mm fits so maybe that one will be nice to use. Matan.

Update: Ring fitted on #30208 Macro port. Can connect Nauticam's CMC-1 with and w/o it's wash ring - the lens element isn't touching the port glass. Now the only question is which lens to get with it out of the 3 available for best results? Bayonet mount ii can't be attached. the 77mm to 67mm ring sticks out of the port but is too thick, even if I'll mandrel the slots for the bayonet mount pins. Need to make a ring which is the same but thinner in outer diameter (I'll start with a 3D printed one first to test). having it like that will allow to use CMC1 AND WWL-C. Not even sure if required but since I already have them better try. Matan.

Nauticam bayonet mount ii has 45mm between thread and the outer ring. so that should be the "width" of the Aquatica port with the 77mm to 67mm ring installed. while I can Dremel the required grooves to fit the bayonet pins (like the wetpixel thread) - the width is a whole other thing and I'll wait for everything to arrive here and we'll see. regarding usage that's another thing. the port accepts 3 lenses - see image I attached. which one will work best with CMC1 and WWL-C. I prefer to sell WWL-C since I will also have an 8'' dome with 12-60mm and possibly 7-14mm - but need something for macro as well. Matan.

well the ring already on order 🙂 worst case will screw on the CMC-1 "manually" and sell the WWL-C haha Matan.

Update - tried with a GoPro 8 blue battery. The battery fits in my GoPro 6 - but the camera wont' turn on. 😞 Better start looking for another one. Matan.

In my upgrade process to GH5ii now - I have my aquatica housing on the way. I own a CMC1 + WWL-C + Bayonet ii mount from my previous setup. my housing will have the O-60 Macro port #30208 which I plan to use with the Olympus Zuiko 12-50mm f/3.5-6.3 MSC ED. Aquatica sells a 77mm --> 67mm thread ring adaption. to make the bayonet mount work I need to file that ring to fit the pins of the bayonet mount - I recall someone on one of the forums did this with Isotta housing for Sony to attach a WWL-B - but can't find the thread. also - anything else I should worry about? Aquatica are concerned the lenses will bump with the port glass - but not sure since the distance is increased when using the bayonet mount, and if not - the CMC1 has a wash ring to avoid this. Thank you, Matan.

anyone has updated release dates for housings on this camera?

Sadly - my LX 10 Nauticam housing had the same issue - need a new camera: *I will say their alarm system works great 😁 Matan.

Mine flooded 🫠 Just the camera - the housing I'll get repaired. Matan.

Absolutely amazing! I'm still dreaming reaching this level with my LX 10 as well this really inspires the whole macro video capabilities of this camera. Wow! A complete macro noob here - are you just stacking the diopters or changing lenses during the dive? Matan.

Thanks, I'll just source new Nauticam ones and stop the lubing thingy. (yeah they are expensive but a one time payment for them every few years is still cheap - my CCR costs more annually 😄 ). Matan.

I'll try to borrow from someone to verify. Sadly the above regarding GP5 isn't mentioned anywhere by GoPro. Thanks! Matan.

Hi everyone. Stored my hero 6 black for about a month. Tried turning on / charge - no red light or charging and camera won't turn on even when plugged in. Naturally this model is old - but my Isotta case is for hero 6 so will be difficult to replace that one. Anyone encountered that? really hard catching the GoPro support - perhaps need to jump start the battery pack? Matan.

main o-ring break would flood the housing 🙂 it's the ball mounts - once of them just broke - this is a used housing so nothing new here, just wanted to make sure I'm not doing anything that damages them. I occasionally put some silicon grease on them as well. Matan.

Hi eveyone. one of the o-rings on my Nauticam housing broke - can anyone share which size o-ring is required? Also - I'm assuming I'm doing something wrong here - any tips on how not to damage the o-rings of any ball mounts? Matan.

hello from Israel - happy to join this new forum. Matan.
