Hi guys, i'm new here! and i'm so happy to find a forum with people who loves underwater world like me!
i've got a new a6xxx salted line housing to test for the first time in the sea, i also bought the pre dive vaccum system pump to ensure any leaking due to the oring's port.
i did a list of what i will do before diving
- clean the ports orings surface and put some grease on it
- clean the circular port oring and replace grease
- i think to do 2 vacuum leak tests 15 minutes each one, what you raccomend ?
the vacuum leak must be done every time i open the ports?
- without the camera inside the housing my free diving instructor Daniele will fix the housing at 40-50 meter for 30 minutes for a pressure test, than i hope it will be ok to insert the camera to do the first shoots.
anyone had any problem with the on off switch? the internal switch it's a bit weak in my opinion.
i will mount the 6 dry dome port, with the sony 16 50 on my a6500, i expetc to use it during my freedive time
so need to know if there are any consistent improvements by using this port instead of the flat one
i'm thinking about having less wheight to carry on during the freedive.
Cheers! Matteo
