Unfortunately 160th is the Max shutter synce speed with the flash up, the only way I know of to get around it is to use an external flash which won't help in the housing unless someone makes a Ttl converter that will work with the Sony through the nauticam bulkhead. I believe this limitation is...

That was only done at depths between 5-10 meters

Just letting you all know it was both Ballast and battery. The battery had a faulty connection inside. Still yet to work out what exactly is wrong with the ballast but now i have the battery sorted ill recheck it. thanks to all those who helped

Well. i borrowed a mates ballast and had some success, worked fine...for a while i got 115minutes before it reached 10V.... I'm going to recharge the battery overnight and give it another go tomorrow. I'm happy that its burning but i really need atleast 3 hour burn time and from my understanding...

I am constantly measuring the voltage during the test and recording it every 5 min. During the test the voltage first drops stedily then as it approaches around 12.5 volts drops very slowly. There was no big drop prior to it going out. Oh and the battery is appertly new (just bought the light...

Hi all, Just Picked up one of the new Scubapro Nova 230. First off, BLOODY bright light. seems well put together and runs off 3 C cells. Output puts up a good fight against a halcyon 10W HID the Nova comes off second best of course but still very impressive. The claied burn time is 14-18 hours...

You can cup your hands over your brow and direct exaust bubles there, after a bit of practice you'll get it easily... is trickier with just one hand though (so can read wrist comp) its all about the angle of your head good luck and have fun
