HSS will minimize Backscatter
If each flash froze the one backscatter particle , wouldn't multiple flashes create more points of reflection from the individual particle?

Weefine WED-7 External Monitor
I could see it in bright sunlight in a pool. The brightness is more than adequate. I use diopters in my mask to see almost correctly, I have some astigmatism, which is not corrected for. I have had luck putting reading glasses on the outside of the mask, I have a flip mechanism I 3D printed. After some experimentation a +1 over my normal reading glasses worked. I tried inside the mask, but it was too much of a pain in *** to clean mask.

Kraken 5.5 "ultra bright"u/w monitor
Tried in a pool, bright sun. Looks like it will workfor my needs. I thought about a 7 inch, but glad I got the 5 inch. Even the 5 inch is large for thew rig.

Weefine WED-7 External Monitor
I have a Kraken 5.5 monitor I am happy with. For me the 7 inch monitors would add too much bulk to my already bulky rig(Nauticam with Fuji X-T3).

Kraken 5.5 ultra bright monitor protective cover 3d printed
Dave , Here is a version with lanyard loop and bungee retainer channels. Thanks for the idea. I generally would not dive with the covers, but it is good to have if one does.

Kraken 5.5 ultra bright monitor protective cover 3d printed
Davide, My impressions of monitor is that is is well built, and robust. I did do a dip test to work out floatation with my setup. The monitor functions are straight forward . It does allow for anamorphic viewing with selectable aspect ratios. I also like the fact that the battery is the same as some of the Kraken lights. When viewing video with peaking on, the info also peaks, somewhat annoying, but maybe there is a work around. Overall I would say it is a good value and the monitor is bright. I will update once I use in the real underwater world and get a little more experience with this monitor. Toby

Modular 3D printed floats
Started working on floats. Tested the Housing ,monitor and lights in fresh water. Weighted out perfectly. Have not had time(or access to deep water) to pressure these these floats. They are designed to be sized as to what flotation is need. I have 63mm end caps(Yellow in photo) and 51mm center section.It would be easy to make them in any length and circumference. Will get back after pressure test and may move this thread to proven parts if they work.

Waterproof Case for GoPro?
16mm & later hi=8 tape camera. I used ikelite(glands) controls. I had the camera isolated from housing to avoid galvanic corrosion. The cameras were mounted on a plexiglas tray. There is a description on the Flickr post.

Davide, Thanks for the compliment. Here is a link to photo of my first u/w housing. 1976 tested to 200 meters.

Waterproof Case for GoPro?
You can cut hole in the housing and silicone either a thin flat glass or a dome. For your shallow water needs, this should work. For the dome you will need to figure out the diopter, because GoPros do not focus close with out a diopter. Here are some photos of a diy housing I worked on. They is Version one. I got to Version 9 and then found a Telsen dome for cheap that did what I wanted.

Go on eBay find an old ikelite housing that the camera and battery will fit. Seen them from 25-50 us

Great read on Sharks
I am finishing up on a book,"The Secret History of Sharks" by John Long a paleontologist. It is about the linage of sharks from 465 million years ago to present. A very good and interesting read. I recommend to anyone interested in ocean history.
