Re: Sony A7ii (A7rII) Meikon underwater housing + Rokinon (Samyang) 14mm f2.8 AF

Great thread, thank you for sharing. Question: do you really need extra batteries for underwater ? How long do you stay underwater and how many shots do you take?

Here is why I am asking: i do most of my  Underwater photo shoots in shallow waters. I used external strobes (Sea and Sea), and I shoot only stills. I average about 600-700 shots per photo shoot, 2.5 hours in average, one battery.

I try using fresh genuine Sony batteries for my A7rII. After 20-30 uses, i usually relegate the battery to over water use, and start a new one.

Thanks,

Ned
