  1. Yeah the TPU ring seems fine, I think it's just my printer that isn't quite dialled in so I couldn't get the plastic ring over the TPU ring when it was on the lens - that was the first TPU print I've done so I could have printed that in a way that made it thick or something too. I'm sure it's me or the printer that's the issue so I'll have more of a play with the settings at some point 🙂
  2. There is one here: https://waterpixels.net/forums/topic/671-proven-3d-printed-parts-for-underwater-imaging/page/4/#findComment-15804 The gear works well, mines a bit hard to get on the lens but that's probably my printer not being calibrated properly - I might reprint it at 101% but I don't have the port so haven't got around to trying that yet.
  3. Great reminder - been meaning to do that for a while! Ran through both of these for my A7RV on Friday after work and most of the settings menus were relevant for that body too. The strobe settings video sounded very interesting but I'm assuming that would be bit more difficult to cover multiple triggers and strobes etc.
  4. Thanks for your help with this! Ended up printing a few sizes of this out: ThingiverseM3 round spacers by windridesM3 round spacersInner diameter: 3mmOuter diameter: 6mmLength: 2mm to 50mmThe 2mm seemed to fit best, in that when I stacked the PCB, spacer and the block, a 10mm screw stuck out 4mm, like the original screw did. My printer is a bit off so they were a tight fit in the block and the hole needed boring out a little with a bigger Allen key but seems to fit just fine 🙂 Now to decide whether to use this or the TRT!
  5. I appreciate this is a slightly strange request, but I just picked up a used UWTechnics trigger (pretty sure it's the 11075 - although the hotshoe is only wired to a 4 wire ribbon rather than the 6 on the photo in the instructions), however it doesn't have the fitting screws/spacers with it. I know the screw is M3x10 as the instructions state that, but I'm wondering if anyone knows what the spacer size is? Hopefully it's a standard one that I can get locally, but if not then I do have a 3D printer so could make one in the right size.....I think they're just to make the PCB sit correctly on the block so I guess 3D printing should be strong enough. If anyone has any dimensions/names for the spacers, that would be very much appreciated 😁
  6. Currently I don't have either 😁 It sounds like home insurance does cover gear when you're away though so I'll check that option out and maybe just get some standard travel cover for the normal stuff like non-diving medical stuff. I do like the idea of just having a pot of money just in case though - good motivation to take extra care with setting up too! Thanks!
  7. Hello! Has anyone got any tips on whether it's better to get travel insurance with some kind of add-on to cover camera gear (normal theft/loss stuff and floods), or whether home insurance would be better? I'm assuming home insurance covers you if you go overseas too? The one DAN offer seems to be good but it's for US residents only and I'm in Australia Thanks!
  8. Not sure how to update the title - but this is no longer needed 🙂
  9. I should have mentioned - the upgrade looks great otherwise!
  10. Looking for a N100 flat 45 port and a WWL-1 if anyone is selling them, bayonet adaptor would be handy too! 🙂 Located in Melbourne, Australia - but happy to pay for shipping if reasonable! Thanks
  11. Not sure if something is just off for me or if it's a wider thing but google sign in doesn't seem to work anymore, the oauth redirect page gives a 403 so I wonder if it's going to a URL from the old site or something. I reset my password and did a normal login, but thought I should flag it up here - cheers!
  12. Have you tried swapping the batteries between the 2 strobes, just to check it's a strobe issue and not a battery issue?
  13. Love the frogfish! Heading there next month so hoping to see all of the above 😃
  14. Thanks both - wasn't sure if it was a distance thing for the focus, or a physical fitting thing. Sounds like it's the latter so will be easy to test quickly on land. Thanks!
  15. I think it's good that they're trying to do something to help protect the reefs......its going to be tricky to get a balance though! I wonder if there could be places that would insist on a photography "certification" in the future - it's going to be hard to police either way.
