Great report Mark. I wonder if you got worried about losing it when the octo reached for your camera as you were trying to take a selfie. I notice some of your text gets cut off by the pictures when I view it. The end of the report reads: "won't get many visits from divers with..."

I can barely lug my bulky cameras around myself. One of the strobes itself seems to weigh about 8 lbs. That octopus had no chance dragging them away.
I wonder if you're using Firefox as a browser. There seems to be a problem with that browser and my website. Firefox (and maybe others) allow you to zoom in. When you do this in Firefox, it rearranges the pictures and text to overlap each other. To see it properly, you have to zoom out all the way.
The complete text says: But it probably won't get many visits from divers with boats since Race Rocks is close by.t

You are correct. Firefox. And, if I zoom out to 110% it resolves the issue.

Out of curiosity I weighed that strobe today. It was 7.2 lbs, not including the arm. I also weighed the full set up I use for still photos. That was 30.8 lbs.

You should post a picture of your double setup and strobes.. it's crazy
