Wien makes multiple models of “Safe Syncs” to safely interface from power packs to cameras and should also be fine attached to wireless triggers.R

I do not recommend you using silicon spray as previously mentioned. It will collect debris and exacerbate the situation.I suppose the candle paraffin might be suitable but I’m more concerned with...

It might already come in protective packaging but the silicon lubricant can only benefit the storing process.  It’s also best to avoid direct sunlight and high humidity.

If you have difficulty sourcing that O-ring, yes you can deviate in material. Changing the material may increase or decrease the performance of the O-ring. Ironically, we don’t know what the...

Yes, it is one and the same. It’s quite common for this application but not necessarily the best either. It has good water resistivity and tolerance to extreme temperatures way beyond a diver’s...

If it’s Red-Orange its high probability it’s Silicone.The silicon grease is pretty normal for this application, comparable to what I was discussing earlier, just a bit more viscous. R

You should definitely do a caliper measurement on the rubber diameter but the ring diameter measurement will haunt you a bit. Try and keep the ring as concentric as possible while doing a ruler...

O-Rings deteriorate from oxidation. The life of the O-ring can be extended significantly by using silicon spray or gel but remove the ring from the camera before you apply a very thin layer. Also...

Nothing wrong with living in a dream world! :) The technology has been here for quite some time. It’s subscriber fees that stymy it. With the advent of WiMax which is basically what 4G is today...

GPS is a receiver. If you log the data, it remains internal without a cellular transmitter and ID. WiFi isn’t going to get you there.  Then again, cell phone cameras can easily do this. Ugh!

I’ve experienced dropping a medium format lens on asphalt with a filter mounted on it. The filter was ruined but there was no detection of damage to the lens. That, a few minor incidences and...

The Pearstone is just a rebranded model made in China. I haven’t seen the Hahnel  but if the battery plate looks the same, then yes it will be the same manufacturer.

AttaI haven’t read all of the posts but from what I can see it’s high probability it’s the CF card. The intermittent areas lead me to believe there are shorted signal pins on the address buss. The...

This strap has a plate that can fit between the camera and the tripod plate so you can keep anyone’s tripod mount system on the...

We are destined to own both but admittedly at first blush the new MSNR (Multi Shot Noise Reduction) function on the 6D has my serious attention! Someone left this link a few weeks ago. This is only...

It may not be too much longer. Although not implemented yet by a camera manufacturer, Sony has already embedded the 4K capability into one of their POS sensors so the path has widened. I think this...

Some chargers are programmed to go to a low current safe mode if they can’t ID the battery although it’s more like punishment since the better quality chargers are constantly sampling the battery...

I use a chamber but a plastic box will do just fine. You don’t need a water tight seal but the smaller the gap, the better the concentration remains between cycle intervals. It’s probably best to...

Here are two different prevention and eradication units. One for optics, one for camera bodies!http://photipherals.com/listingfeatures/protection-solutions/

Google 62mm Macro Filters. I think you will be pleased with what you find and a bit less cumbersome!!!R
