Oh my sweet summer child... go price out an underwater wide-angle kit.

The way it has screws going inside the casing makes me think it's more splash-proof than water-proof; certainly not for immersion to 10+ meters. Remember that for every 10m of depth, you have an ...

Not at any significant depth. Even if it doesn't leak, water pressure will push in all the buttons simultaneously, rendering the device useless. Also, if the remote relies on IR light ...

This is the product - it's distributed under Kraken name in North America: http://www.weefine.com/waike-details.php?cid=10&id=1 Controls are electronic - the phone runs an app that connects to the ...

No idea, but you can message Pavel Kolpakov over at Wetpixel; he's the guy behind UW-Technics. He did mention that Retra strobe TTL profile will be added to converter firmware when the strobes hit ...

For the reference, the UW-Technics TTL converter for Meikon housings (they have a version for Canon cameras) replaces the moisture detector and has the moisture detection function in addition to ...

Is it possible that the RX100 flash was already maxed out, and couldn't produce a longer pulse? I don't have a testing rig like yours, but I tried triggering the ST-100 with my phone's LED flash, ...

Maybe put one of those kids' arm floats around the port barrel and inflate/deflate as needed?

Thanks, good thing I decided not to cheap out and go for the 50mm FE - returning things around here is not nearly as simple as it is in USA.

I have the Sony 16-50mm kit lens (24-75mm equivalent), and I've used it behind a flat port a fair bit, but it doesn't really go wide enough for big corals or close enough for macro without add-on ...

Basically, Sony E-mount offers four macro lens options: (1) APS-C 30mm f/3.5 - cheap, but not stabilized and very short working distance

This is not healthy for my bank account. Not healthy at all. You're doing a wonderful job of convincing me to drop a thousand dollars on a Sony SEL90M28G.

Ah, right, I forgot about that mod of yours. I'm kind of on the fence about the Turtle trigger - the ST-100 strobes are kind of meh when being triggered by the on-camera flash, so I'm considering ...

By the way, what's that protrusion on the left side of the housing? Did you DIY a proper flash sync bulkhead?

Very neat. This actually looks like a better solution than most port-mounted zoom knobs insofar that you can actuate it without taking your hand off the tray arm, and the lever position readily ...

Funny, I'm in the same boat about this - maybe we should buddy up sometime :) Two photographers together should be a lot less stressful than chasing a group.

Yeah, they pulled it and replaced it with Sea & Sea YS-03 after several customers (myself included) reported that it only functions in TTL slave mode when triggered by fiber optics - manual mode ...

Thanks for the heads-up! Order placed for 8" dome and telephoto port - although it ended up substantially less expensive to order from meikon.com.hk with 20% Black Friday discount, once the ...

Correct. All of them offer access to the rear dial and both top dials, allowing you to select modes and shoot in manual mode while adjusting aperture and shutter speed with your selection of ...

Very curious how ST-100s work with an LED trigger.
