Neopreneninja 0 Posted October 25, 2007 Hi every one! I have this (I think) great Idear how to make a strobe arm & Inon bayonet mount(AD'er) and Camera mount all-in-one.. Since I'm mostly freediving while snapping away..I'd like a minimalistik kid.. My idear is to bend a 5mm stainles steel plate in to a 90 degee app. 6"(12-14cm) tall strobe arm..4.5 cm wide (like the Dome on my Fuji UW-house)And place it right in front of the Port hole(Dome)..strait up..here I plan to make the Bayonet mount hole.. To adjust the camera to the AD Correctly I plan to make a Oval(a long) mounting hole on the Base part..on less of course I can find the perfect setting strait away! Then by adding an "extra" arm...with a hole most of the way trug it's lenght's I'll get good adjustebillety from one side to the other..mounted with thum screw's of course(also Stainless steel)..and By angeling the top af this second arm at 45¤ inwood + maybe a 3 arm to angel the strobe mount in and out... How does all of this sound to you Pro DIY's ??? any adwise..?? every input is greatly appriciated... wish I had some drawing's to show the simple concept.. Thanks for any feed back Newbie UW'er with a P&S ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neopreneninja 0 Posted October 28, 2007 Hi Again... I found the perfekt part for a DIY lens AD..It's a 50mm plastic drain "plug"(I belive It's called in English) it fits tightly over the UW-house port, All you have to do is drill a hole and glue the AD in place..+ drilling out the back of the rear lens replacement cap and thereby turning it in to a Inon AD! And at a total cost of app. 7 £(2£ for the drain plug & 5 £ for a rear lens replacement cap) I finde it well worth the effort...esp. when the original cost's 50 £...takes up the Camera base mount where my strobe arm etc. is mounted. Have made a Hama Linse AD like this just to try out the concept..works like a charm! will try and use the Hama wide angle lense UW...app. a 28mm film eqv. Have any one else tried this ??
