UWTechnics Sony Trigger - strange request 🙂
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!

UWTechnics Sony Trigger - strange request 🙂
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 😁

Home Insurance or Travel Insurance for camera gear
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!

Home Insurance or Travel Insurance for camera gear
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!

I should have mentioned - the upgrade looks great otherwise!

WTB - 37165 N100 Flat 45 and WWL-1(B)
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

Upcoming Server Upgrade 😳
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!

Help. Dream trip and Backscatter MF-1 malfunction
Have you tried swapping the batteries between the 2 strobes, just to check it's a strobe issue and not a battery issue?

Nauticam - is the spacer needed for Inon diopter?
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!

Interesting: Thailand "bans" u/w photograpy for newbies and training
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.

Nauticam - is the spacer needed for Inon diopter?
Does anyone know whether you would need the M67 adaptor/spacer when using a non Nauticam wet lens? I've got an inon UCL-165 so it's got the M67 thread, but I'm not sure what the spacer is for that comes with the SMC-1 for (as I don't have the lens or spacer) - would it be needed for all diopters or just the Nauticam specific ones? Cheers!

Dumb Idea - Strobe Trigger
I just tried it on "Continuous Low" (A7RV so I'm guessing 3fps?) and I'd say every other shot triggered it so 0.9s seems more correct than 6s Still haven't got round to 3d printing anything but I might try a cardboard prototype - it will literally just be something angled upwards with aluminium foil on anyway - maybe I'll go full MacGyver and just Blu tac it on 😂 It's not like I intend to actually use it anyway, it's just in case the trigger has issues!

Dumb Idea - Strobe Trigger
Yeah, I was looking at the IM20 initially but then found this one which looked smaller (was concerned about the height mostly) so went with that one: 34L x 18H x 29W https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005008042088749.html It's not adjustable in any way, so you can't reduce power to save battery or anything though.
