Posted by Wishbone on 10/01 at 09:24 AM@ Wishbone - housing size is relative.... anything will seem small compared to both my Phenom FXZ1s :)
Posted by WaterWorks on 10/02 at 04:22 PMHeh, I guess… :)
Eliminating mech controls has one huge advantage - low volume housing. This one here though is huge - look at the empty space on the photo. I know this is because the housing is meant to be “universal”, but… :(Posted by Wishbone on 10/02 at 11:28 PMThis “balloon” will require a lot of extra weight to achieve near neutral buoyancy . . makes the weight hauling it around out of the water added misery to the chore of moving it around underwater with such a large profile. The logic escapes me!
Posted by rsapple on 10/04 at 10:53 AMStill looks like a beauty compared to a Phenom!!! :D
Posted by WaterWorks on 10/04 at 03:46 PMNewbie here,
Can anyone tell me what strobes can be used with a 5 pin Nikonos Connector? And since this states that it only has one connection point, how do you hook up more than one strobe to a one connection system like this?
Thanks in advance,
