    Opinions Backscatter MW-4300 video light

    I actually have a set of BigBlue 4200's and find that they are great for spraying light everywhere, but they are too much for anything macro. I'm considering streamlining my rig down to one light (gasp! no!). Yeah, I know that 2 is the way to go, but less crap hanging around while I dive is...

    Wetsuit in March?

    If it's of any help, our diving in February was in 74-76 degree water, so it will be a bit warmer in March. My wife gets cold easily and was a little chilly in her 5mm full. I don't mind being cold at all and was comfy in my 3/2 full.

    Maui trip report end of Jan / beg of Feb 2021

    I've done Molokini crater and it's not all that remarkable, in my opinion. The Back Wall apparently is a different story, but I haven't done it so I'll let others comment on it. Check around on prices to Lanai, the Cathedrals are worth it. Black Rock could be done on one's own, but it's got a...

    Maui trip report end of Jan / beg of Feb 2021

    We just returned on Monday from Maui. Travel there was easy, provided you follow the instructions. We used Vault COVID testing, which sends you the test kit, then you log on to their site and have a Zoom meeting with a provider who watches you spit into a test tube, seal the tube and pack it...

    Tell me about your LX-10 Setup

    Cool, thanks for your reply. I've decided to try the Olympus TG-6. It doesn't offer as much manual control as I would like, but it may do the job.

    Tell me about your LX-10 Setup

    Hi everyone, I have been shooting photos and video with a few different setups now, most recently a GoPro and a pair of BigBlue 4200 video lights. However, the GoPro takes crappy photos (putting it nicely) and though i have a macro adapter for it, it's not very good. I've been all over the...

    Camera Setup Buoyancy Question

    I have a hero7black, supersuit, aluminum tray and 2x bigblu 4200 lights... Hey, so do you! I purchased 2 chinese 8" carbon fiber float arms off Amazon for about 30 bucks each and they make my rig almost neutrally buoyant. A little negative, but a hell of a lot better than no flotation. For $60...

    Additional layer for warmth?

    Hi Everyone, My wife gets cold while diving, and I'm looking for a vest that she can add to her 5mm fullsuit when it isn't warm enough. Suggestions that we have received are: -Lavacore insulating layer under the fullsuit -Henderson pro 3mm vest over the fullsuit. I figure the Lavacore...

    SuperSuit Leaking around the lens. Anyone else?

    It seems to me that there is a market opportunity for a new GoPro Case. Criteria: - price point: maybe 100-200 - room inside for a moisture sucker capsule? - don't have to remove the lens to use it? - adaptable to all filter systems? - double o-rings? - material: aluminum would be awesome...

    SuperSuit Leaking around the lens. Anyone else?

    Thanks for your replies folks. It sounds like my SuperSuit is a lemon. I have looked at the Isotta housing, it looks awesome and perhaps Ill pick one up sometime. However, I spent 30 minutes in online chat with GoPro customer service and they are sending a new SuperSuit out to me as a...

    SuperSuit Leaking around the lens. Anyone else?

    Hi Everyone, I've been having problems with condensation and water entering into my SuperSuit (with \Hero 7 black) housing while diving. This is frustrating as I used to use a Hero 4 in a dive housing and NEVER had problems with water entering the housing or condensation. My routine has...
