Wetpixel/Under The Jungle Cenote Workshop 2021

Mantis has opened pre-orders for their RS360 housing for the Insta360 One RS 360° video and still camera. The metal housing has a depth rating of 250m (820ft) with a 4” dome and an M6 bulkhead for off-board power or remote connection.
Alex Mustard and Adam Hanlon discuss the underwater images that were featured in the results of the 2022 Wildlife Photographer of the Year contest. In common with all our contest reviews, the images are all winners already so they attempt to look at them somewhat critically.
Nauticam are shipping their NA-a7R V housing for the Sony a7r V camera. It uses the N100 port system and has an M24 port for HDMI 2.0 out if required. Strobe triggering is via fiber optic, with an optional hot shoe mini strobe, or via electronic with an optional nikonos or Ikelite style bulkheads.
It is with great regret that I have to inform the Wetpixel community that another of the great image making pioneers has drifted off into the great blue. Chuck Nicklin died peacefully in his sleep earlier today. Chuck was a pioneer diver, photographer, and cinematographer. He will be sorely missed by the image making community and our love goes out to his family and many friends.
Owing to scheduling conflicts, we have a few spaces available for the rescheduled Wetpixel/Alex Mustard Macro Workshops at Lembeh Resort. The available spaces are on both workshops, which will run from 8 to 17 and then 17 to 27 March 2023. Alex’s workshops are typically very oversubscribed, so please let Adam know very soon if you are interested in attending.
Inon are shipping their UWL-95S wide conversion lens. It offers the ability to switch between M52, M67 or XD lens mounts. FOV is 95° underwater and focuses on the front of the lens.
Inon has announced an upgrade to their Multi Ball Arm. The newer version has female 3/8”-16UNC threads at each end, which allows them to be used as a tripod leg with the Inon tripod head.
Underwater Technics is shipping their TTL circuit board for Canon cameras in Marelux housings. It offers both optical and electrical strobe triggering, from and rear curtain sync, and HSS with compatible strobes. It also operates via the camera’s flash control menu
