on-camera storage of Inon 165 lens?

[WOODMAN]

Hi folks- I have a c5050 with the Ikelite housing and D125 strobe and am considering adding a Inon 165 macro lens (or two?) to this rig, but I would like to have a way to store the lens on the housing somewhere when not in use. I have seen a mount for this purpose by Epoche, but I think that is for mounting only on their setups. Anyone have a good way to do this? I am using the Ikelite ball and socket arms, if that makes any difference. Thanks for your help. Woody

Inon makes lens caddies for both the 67mm and AD mounts -

Note: the arm in the above link photo is not included.


If you have two macro lens adapters, you can stack them on one caddy. I have two on my rig, one for my WAL and the other for two macro adpaters.

Here's my rig, you can see the adapter on the arm on the left.

ULCS also makes a caddy - you'll have to check with them if it suits Ike's arms.

You could go really high tech like I have. I screw them together on the boat and stick them in the front of my wetsuit (upper chest). This makes it easy easy to access and keeps them safe from bumps and scratches. Of course, it only works with a front zip suit!

I used to carry them, screwed together, in a neoprene stubby holder in my pocket. This worked fine but the suit works better for my needs. The still live in the neoprene stubby holder (coozie) when not in use and stored.
