Hi I am new here and want to start with sharing some. I enjoy diving unrestricted and sometimes in challanging environments such as currents, penetrations etc. I want to share my experience with others by quality pics and vids but do not want to restrict my experience by bulky gear, I have tried Gopro but was not satisfied with quality although the size is great. So my latest solution is a Sony RX100 and a Meikon housing with a video light on compact tray. Here is a video of the set up, hope this can help some of you out there :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJztsA6pG2Y&t=3s

Hi: Are you happy with your Meikon housing? How's the craftsmanship and ease of use?
Enjoyed the video very much as well.
Thanks.

Well done with the video! I like that you covered what gear you're using, attachment to BC, and prep.

My only comment is to /not/ use toilet paper to test; instead, use paper towel. The problem with toilet paper is that if the case does flood, then the toilet paper will become a goopy mess and difficult to remove. I know this because I did have a housing that flooded, after buying it new! (It was a Canon G12 housing made by Canon.) (I repaired the housing by carefully sanding away excess molding plastic at the seams and it works perfectly now.)
