Hope no one minds me posting a Kickstarter that I thought was of interest.  No, I'm not related to them in any way, just happened across it searching for Technology/photography/camera type keywords.

If all else fails, get a bigger hammer...

Current rig: Sony SLT-alpha55 in Ikelite housing, Sigma 17-70mm f/2.8-4.5 DC Macro in 6" 5503.80 dome (+2 diopter optional), Sigma 8-16mm f/4.5-5.6 DC HSM behind UWCamStuff custom 5" mini-dome. Dual INON z240 Type IVs. Homebuilt LED/fiberoptic triggering.
