In Topic: First experiences with 20d and Ike housing

05 October 2005 - 06:25 PM

You know that problem with the camera not sitting right so that the thumb wheel doesn't always makes contact... try cutting a little piece of the adhesive rubber off of the strip that comes with the zoom ring for the ports, and stick it on the housing body where the CANON logo on the flash will rest against it. This keeps the body from tipping forward and holds it firm against the thumbwheel. Fixed the problem for me.

In Topic: Is your housing too heavy? Not anymore...

30 June 2005 - 05:53 PM

Good Idea! I also had an Ike housing with the ULCS arms. If anyone has been to Toys R Us or has kids, you can pick up those long styrofoam "noodles" they play in the pool with. They have a 1" hole in the center. Cut them to the length of one of your arms between the clamps, and the arm section slides right in the hole. You can add them to one or both sides of the camera if you need balance. As you go deeper they compress a bit, and seem to automatically keep the buoyancy neutral. Worked for me!

In Topic: Ikelite Port for Canon 100mm USM

17 April 2005 - 04:41 PM

Thanks for the tips. Seems the lens fits OK into the port alone, little snug but probably the way it should. Then I tried just putting the port into the housing without a lens, or o-ring - this took a little pushing. I think I have a port that may be a bit out of round or something (the other ports just plop in.) So I'll send it back to B&H for another one.

In Topic: How Well do DS-125 Work As Dive Lite?

Well thanks for the feedback. I feel more comfortable leaving one of my dive lites at home now, and just carrying a small backup.
