    EPL-5 housing

    I have a 10bar case I used with my gf2 and now a nauticam for my om-d. The 10bar is quite functional, but the buttons are inconvenient, though it works. The zoom/controls for lenses are next to useless though, you have to twist and press to get it to move in a jerky fashion. By the time you...

    Trouble with SDA after flying

    For another solution to this issue you can go to walmart and for 5 dollars pick up a ziplock vacuum bag system. Works a treat, and weighs about 1/4lb so you can easily pack it just in case.

    8mm vs 9-18/7-14mm for m4/3

    I just got back from a trip and got to try out the 8mm on my gf2 in a 10bar housing. First the good, this is a great lens. I loved using it and it is easy to get used to. Very sharp, focus was fast in all conditions and the like. Strobe positioning is a bit different, since it is SO wide...

    Dive Caddy Review for Tech Diving- Picture Intensive

    I've taken mine (g1) on a few flights so far in carry on. Dui Drysuit, zeagle express deluxe, quattro fins and random stuff plus clothing for a week long liveaboard. Camera and laptop in a shoulder bag. I'll take a picture or two of the setup next time I fly. Just use the machines to check...

    m43 DS-TTL with YS-110a

    I would consider it a warranty issue. Understood that you only have an HK warranty, but you may want to figure out how to use it since panasonic and oly "share" much of their flash system. The only difference is that oly also includes wireless ttl through flash control, which is not compatible...

    m43 DS-TTL with YS-110a

    I use a ys-110a with my panasonic gf2, works great in ttl mode via a fiber optic cable.

    8mm vs 9-18/7-14mm for m4/3

    I received my 8mm a few days ago, and got the 10bar dome port as well. Only to discover the 8mm dome port effectively blocks the optical flash "port" on the body. Jack recommended a 12mm extension and we are possibly going to try something else as well. Hopefully I'll have good news on the...

    Zeagle Express - Riding up

    Gene: Already tried that a number of times, doesn't work on me. If I put the strap low around my waist and make it comfortably tight, then position the tank so I don't hit it with my head, the whole thing flops around on me and feels like it would make a giant stride entrance a bit dangerous...

    Zeagle Express - Riding up

    When I got my express, I got the deluxe setup and added a 2" crotch strap. I could never make the thing tight and also not have the tank smack me in the back of the head or squish some important bits (*cough*) at the same time. It worked, and was comfortable, but was a total compromise of...

    Best fin for use in warm currents

    Thanks Dan! I bet you are right on some of that, I know that when I start pushing I can burn air at an astounding rate and probably need to optimize technique to best match my cycling background. Last time I used force fins (wanted shorter fins for travel than my quattros), which gained...

    Best fin for use in warm currents

    I bike over a hundred miles a week and most would consider me fairly thin (though I have a few more pounds to go, about 12%BF), I breathe slow and steady and I use an express tech bcd to keep to a minimum setup. Weighting is right based on end of dive testing and glide no faster or slower than...

    Best fin for use in warm currents

    rh: the bigger tank has been requested for my next trip so I should be good to go this time. Of course what came out of my mouth was "Any chance I could get a 100? I'm a heavy breather." The response was something akin to "Oh really? Are you the one that keeps calling?" ;) That being said...

    Best fin for use in warm currents

    I kill air, which drives me nuts. Add in a nice current and I end up hanging out way above my buddies to lower air use for the last 10 minutes of most dives, which sucks for photography. Considering I am in shape, bike ~100miles a week and try to lift weights, it is kind of embarrassing though...

    Full foot fins and waiting in line... How do you do it?

    I like the discussion and potential solutions. I may indeed end up sticking with open heel fins, but I think so far the input has been valuable to me and possibly other people. shiftr: I have my call into a local geneticist to see how much that third arm will cost.

    Full foot fins and waiting in line... How do you do it?

    The technique I am familiar with, in pitching seas especially, is always to remove your fins while on the tail line and not at the ladder, if you are the next person in line. If you are not next you keep your fins on so you can move if required. Once you are next, removal before getting to the...

    Full foot fins and waiting in line... How do you do it?

    Ok, let's add one more thing in, pitching seas. You need to get your fins off before you get to the ladder because it isn't something you can hang onto nor do you want to get close without immediately going onboard. I'm guessing the process you would use is to tether the camera to yourself...

    Full foot fins and waiting in line... How do you do it?

    So the dive is over and you are going back to the boat. Everyone is waiting on the line behind the boat and you have on full foot fins and have a camera. With open heels, you just take the fin off and slide your arm under the strap. With full foot fins it looks like you need a hand free, but...

    Is Uemis SOLD!!!!!

    I can't wait to see what's next. The product still has a niche that is untouched by others, and if they can get the program re-started properly, including finishing the missing modes... We should be in for a treat. Maybe opensource the internet interface/storage since that is pretty much done...

    EPL 1 , 8mm Fisheye with Precision Dome Port

    Maybe I am just missing it, but did you make the exif private? I would like to see more about the settings you used on the photos. As for the video, while I agree the sound can be fixed with an overlay, the focus hunting caused the camera to adjust white balance. A newer lens should be faster...
