    Looking to find a diver who is located near Hermosa Beach, Calif. I have a boat in the harbor which we dive off of weekly. Looking to trade dives for video footage. Anyone interested in coming out and videoing our dives for the Fishing Tackle/Marine Products site we have called HookBuzz.com. Be great to get some quality footage other than using my Gopro! Thanks

     

    email me at admin@hookbuzz.com

     

    Given it's for a commercial cause I think you need to attach some financial incentive to the offer.

    The boat ride and dives are simply a requirement and therefore part of your expense rather than the reward for the cameraman.

    The reason you have such a variation is that each of the quotes is for very different items.

    Once you have decided on which lenses and strobes you wish to use get the system requoted.

     

     

    First let me start by saying I have never shot anything but point and shoots. I am somewhat disappointed in the photos I have been taking with my 860 Sea and Sea. I am currently in a debate with myself on what to do. I "think" I want to move forward with a Nikon D7000 but its not a cheap move. I have a couple of quotes from people, dont wanna get into names im not trying to beat anybody up (or have anyone beat me up) I would just like some feedback if im heading down the right path and what you experts think of these quotes.

    Aquatica AF Macro Falt Port for bayonet style housing 350.00

    Ikelite Sync Cord 110.00

    Zoom gear 160.00

     

    Total $4,793.90

     

    For the record I seem to like the dealer selling the Nauticam setup the most but, unless im missing something which is why Im making this post, it seems to take more to make it work. The third price is a local dealer and that would be my most perferred option except that he left me high and dry on service with the Sea and Sea camera I purchased. I purchased it on a Saturday when he was really busy and he asked me to come back during the week and he would help me get it set up. Once I called back he wanted $89.95 to do this. I was lucky enough to be going to bonaire and I stopped in and spoke with John at Buddy Dive who was happy to help me out spending 30 minutes to get me set up for the price of $15.00. John is a great guy wish he was local :D. Anyway Im looking for any constructive advise you might want to offer.

    Hello.

     

    Can anyone help me where can I buy GRIP for amphibico housing ( this with controls ) ??

    May be new or used.

     

    I have some inventory of dive buddy grips.

     

    Which housing and camera combo is it for ?

    Gudge thanks for your reply, great article and book looks good will get a copy ;) . Keen to give spot metering a shot.

     

    Re Flash EC: Im using Ike161, I guess using adjustment on strobe will be easier for me than using the 7D in camera flash compensation adjustment.

     

    When using the 100mm macro do you shoot AF or MF ?

     

     

    Its a manual world for the Ike 161 / Nauticam combination.

    Maybe for you, Peter. I've repacked my NiMH a few times over for my Halogen, HID and HMI lights. And it's never close to 1k times. more like 5-600... if that!

     

    :)

     

    Drew , while this is a fair comment based on your experience with NiMH batteries - Peter's post is about his SOLA 1200 lights that use Lithium Iron batteries.

     

    Lets keep on track.

    In fact I think there's a certain lack of enthusiasm in the industry right now because everyone is waiting on Scarlet and Epic S.

     

    Don't worry about who's waiting for Scarlet or Epic S - the bulk of the industry is waiting on budgets and funding !!
