canon 7D-ikelite housing-ds160

Hi there. I understand there are already a few members here who have the 7D with ikelite housing.

Some questions:

-It is very hard to impossible to control the photo-video button and also the dial know while in the housing. The buttons don't seem to have enough grip.

-I can't find the option to fire my strobe on second curtain. I thouht this was possible, or am i wrong?

For everything else, i just love the setup!!

nice diving,

Jochen

I do not have the 7D (I use 5DM2). However, I have discussed second curtain firing with Ikelite representatives and was informed that Canons implementation of second curtain firing was not covered in the Ikelite protocol (while Nikons is!). So it is very likely that you can not fire strobes on second curtain with Canon cameras. Which obviously sucks big time!

Oh crap...

Gudge knows how but I think there are some mirrors involved.
