Hm, sad to hear that.
So the dimensions of the Backscatter trigger are: 43 x 27 x 21mm
The dimensions of the Nauticam Trigger for the a6700 housing are: 52 x 36 x 26.5mm
But i guess the dimensions of the backscatter trigger are without the cable for the leds, so that might then be the problem, right?
I tried this with the WWL-1B and different orings with 54mm outer diameter.
A 54x4mm oring seems to be too thick, if put between the WWL-1B and the flatport i cant turn the WWL-!B to lock it in place with the bayonet.
Same for a 54x3mm.
A 54x2mm fits, but won't hold the water in.
Can you provide an image that shows how you are placing the oring?
Just took some measurements:
Distance of attachment points: 26cm
Length lanyard (including boltsnaps): 34cm
Length lanyard (without boltsnaps): 19cm
This results in ca. 10cm distance between the top of the housing and my finger in the second image.
Yes, they are pretty easy to make.
I used this guide to make mine, its in german, but the images show how its done: https://www.paracord.de/paracord-knupftechnik
This one creates kind of a double lanyard since you don't stop after reaching one end. Instead you continue to go back to the start (step 11 and following).
As for the handstrap i'm thiniking about to create a lanyard with some bungee cord i have laying around. This might make it kind of stretchy so that i can use it with or without gloves.
Well, here it is, my new system: the NA6700 housing with the WWL-1B and a lanyard i made myself.
One thing i'd like to add (besides strobes) is a handstrap on the right handle. But sadly Nauticam doesn't have one (i asked them).
Hello Chip,
your info helps a lot, especially the info about using a kit lense with a wet lense. This makes choosing the right port, zoom gear etc. so much easier for me (and propably a bit less expensive).
Ideally the most versatily option. But i know that some compromises have to be made, so i think i'm mostly into pelagics and reefs.
As a future outlook, i'm planing to go to galapagos in late 2025
