mishko:
i did test it without the cam inside first, and got no leaks
but i just lowered it down with a rope, so i didnt get to test the button for leaks, since the leak was triggered by pressing it. oouch
yes,i learned from that . haha
the_blue:
well still working great !, got lots of awsome pictures with it by now !
have also built a flash for it, mounted on a flex arm. but gotta learn how to use it first tho..haha.
only geting black or bright white pictures..since its a manual flash. xD

I hate to be a downer, but that epoxy won't hold forever on the plastic. It has a hard time bonding to it in a way that will last. When it does come apart, I would recommend using an <insert plastic type here> cement instead of epoxy for repairs.

okey here you go
have made a few flash arms, and will make a better one day.
but this is the one thats on now. works good. can be turned on handle, and got "ball joints" at 4 points.
today i will install ip68 cabel glands, new flash cabel, and on/off switch on flash housing. more buttons on cam housing aswell !
crab pic is from a night dive with the cam.
more to come :cool2:
