The only thing I didn't get that I might upgrade to later is:
a HD502 monitor (or an alternative) + housing
a macro port + lens (if I end up wanting to do macro)
potentially strobes for photography if I end up going that way after a lot more video experience
Cheers, I really appreciate all the recs in here <3

Nauticam N85 140mm Glass Port + N85 mini extension

Why a fisheye lens? Did someone advice you?

Yes. I got advice. I want to mainly focus on improving my physical skills filming and focus on filming landscapes/big creatures or normal sized creature closely. I don't want to cover macro early on and don't want to do photography early on either.
Thoughts? (even thought it's too late and I think I'll be happy with that initially Lol)
Alhough I have fisheye lenses I have only used them for photography, there are some people that manage with that but I find the lack of variation boring also to take a close or medium shot you need to jump on another dive so I never use a fisheye lens for video maybe when I go for whales I will change my mind but up to whale sharks not necessary at all
If you have not used the gear I warmly recommend you to return it ASAP and swap for a cheaper zoom lens and the nauticam WWL-1
