Thank you for sharing. My micro slider will not help with this:).

Could you give a link to your video to show the final result?

I purchased an INON UW Tripod System and a NiSi Macro Focusing Rail (see photo). The build quality of the NiSi Rail looks good. I particularly appreciate the large diameter knob on the focusing rail and the 180-360 degree rotating head on the tripod. I already own an Ultralight tripod plate, which I plan to use with this setup. I'll be testing these items in Anilao in April-May and will share my experiences sometime in May or June.

Thank you for sharing these photos, Ar! These are nice tripods for a BBC crew! I am definitely not going to that level of stability and micro adjustments.

I agree: Noveflex is nice, but very expensive. I assume that the Fotopro or similar macro slider will do similar work. I will try. Also, I was not thinking about following the subject by moving the housing with the micro microslider. When I setup the housing at the right distance, I usually adjust focus using the Focus Ring.

Here is the link to the video. I am looking for a macro slider with an endless screw as well. Which one do you have? I found one from Fotopro.

Could you send me a private message with information about how much you want for it? I probably will be in the USA this summer. This will simplify shipping. Thank you.

I showed how the slider works in the video about modifications to Gates tripod. I do not have a video demonstrating how it works underwater. I just push or pull the housing, while holding a tripod in place. As I mentioned before, it was not very smooth. That is why I am looking for an improvement. Most of my macro and super macro clips shot in Alor, Anilao, Tulamben and Amed in the second half of 2023 and 2024 are shut with this setup. Here the link to the one of the latest videos:

Yes, I used in about 5 or 6 dive trips. My current macro slider, however, is not very smooth.

Thank you for your message insomniac. I am not planning to use all components of INON Tripod System.

Many thanks for your reply and sharing your experience, Tim. In my additional post above, I provided a bit more information about my experience with a standard tripod system.

Hi Ben, Thank you for your reply and links. I like you macro video and subscribed to your YouTube channel. Please see my post above with some more details.

I'm researching the INON Underwater Tripod System as a potential replacement for my Gates tripod, specifically for macro videography with a Sony FX3 in a Nauticam housing. I'm hoping to gather some user experiences before making the switch. If you own or have used the INON system, could you please share: How does it compare to other underwater tripods you've used? What are your thoughts on its stability, especially in currents or with larger housings? How easy is it to set up and adjust underwater? Are there any specific advantages or disadvantages you've encountered for macro work? Any general tips or recommendations for using this system? Your feedback would be invaluable in my decision-making process! Thank you, Val
