nauticam vacuum pump video?

[mike jj]

Just got my em5 housing back with vac valve installed. Anyone have a link to a video on it's use.

Thanks Mike

PS they forgot to send the pump and spanner tool with it. I hope it gets here before I leave for the Philippines in a couple of days.

Mine didn't come with a c-spanner. Nor does it feature those holes around the bottom - for that spanner. Mine just has normal spanner teeth around the bottom.

Mine came with the written instructions, pump, pin spanner, and spanner holes around the base just like the video. They didn't return the M16 plug.

Mine is like the one shown here:

That is the offset that allows the port to be used by another bulkhead fitting. The none-offset fittings use the pin spanner like this one:

Ahh I see the difference(s) now!

Just installed the vacuum electronics in my NA-GH3 - all GREEN and I'm super happy

Have fun it the Philippines. I just sent my em5 housing for fitment as well with the offset model as I use electronic sync cords. I hope your o-rings are newer and snug fitting. Someone on Wetpixel claimed the vacuum on his housing resulted in water getting into the housing because when one of the knobs got hit or jostled the vacuum sucked in a small amount of water. Everyone I have spoken to has always recommended keeping your unattended rig out of the rinse tank as it can easily get damaged by other camera rigs and owner who don't pay attention.
