I fitted it to a DJI Osmo action 4. Straight away, it does NOT work out of the water, the 150 degree view thing above water is nonsense as it looses distance focus after .5 meters away.
Hi, this video is very detailed. But I still have a question. When it Isn't in V mode, and the LED light is on. If the flash is triggered, will the LED automatically turn off? Just like MF2 does.
The tray looks nice. However I can't fint the sparkrave tray anymore. Will it ever return in stock or will this trigger work with other trays like a extendable Meikon/Seafrogs tray for a gopro?
Hi kayburn been a big fan! I have purchase these lens. And i have 2x 15000LM Cri 5600k lights . Can you share what gopro setting do you use? Gopro color profile: flat/medium? Iso max : 200/400/800/1600? Exposure compensation : -1/-0.5/0? White balance:?
I have the exact same problem. Unfortunately I think the bayonet is not removable. It´s unbelievable that Nauticam did not yet think of a Bayonet II to M67 adaptor to allow use of the flip adaptor. Or at least a flip adaptor with a Bayonet II mount. Although I think that would again cost more than 280 Euros...
Thanks for the informative review. Question: Is it possible to remove the bayonet mount adapter from the front of the port? Is it screwed on and removable, or is it an intrinsic component of the port and removing it isn't possible. Thank you! 🙂
Hey Sadly not... would not fit inside the lens. But we always use lights instead, and bring out the real colours... Gopro is not super light sensitive, so one has to be careful to restrickt light from the sensor with a filter :-)
Hey. In theory it fits most systems as long as it can reach the button of the housing. Never tried with Gopro though… it might be a streach though ;-) (I can test it later)
Could you please test it and let me know? I will be using a GoPro 11 with underwater housing on my trip to Socorro in 2024. This is what I'm looking for if I can mount two 10,000 lumen video lights. I like Big Blue brand lights. Thanks so much.
Yes and yes... but...!! * When using it with a wideangle you need to be very careful not to bend the adaptor in any way. A wideangle is not forgiving if it is not aligned with the port. (you´ll then get really blurry corners) * And the tiny space between the port and lens does not have to be too big a problem when you have a smaller camera with zoom... with macro wetlenses it is insignificant, but with wideangle, you might get a big of vignetting, and have to zoom in a bit. - but as you say, it is a good system, being able to FLIP... it often enables you to actually get the picture, rather than not. Happy shooting :-)
Hey Ben. Sadly not. These housings have a very detailed button setup and fit very accurately to each camera. (that is why they work so well) 🙂 ...so the answer is no.
Hey... yes, but many years ago... it is not something that I would ever do. No point, when you already have a pile of rechargeables ;-) But my answer will not give much meaning to you... as it is all about the setting you shoot the flash... as there is a big difference between shooting TTL in bright water, or manual in dark water. And that is why I also NEVER would go down on a second dive, without changing the batteries... not that they won't last... with Eneloop 2300 mHa batteries, it should easily be 2 dives... but since I have several sets of batteries, I just NEVER do that!. OK? :-) - but I´d imagine you have 4-600 shots, depending on the intensity.
yeah, From my last dive, I noticed that fully charged eneloop batteries can only be used at 3 dives at most using this strobe. I have an upcoming two-day dive (6 dives) in a remote island in the Philippines where there is no electricity. I was thinking if I should buy another set of rechargeable batteries or just a set of good-quality, single-use ones (as it will cost me less). thanks for the very insightful response!
Hey there. Sorry, I never saw a 180" dome filter ;-) Hmmm... would I recommend it? Sure... if the kind of photography you need to do, requires it. I assume such a filter would make the light quite soft and that can be good on some macro shots. . but remember... as with ALL diffusor filters, the trick is to use them only when needed, and TAKE THEM OFF when you need a more bright light, that will give you motive more colour and harder contrast. OK? - so in short... there is no yes/no answer to this question... but go ahead and get it and try it out for fun... and remember not to leave it there forever.
Hi did you shoot these videos with +15 macromate or +10 close up? I've also seen on another video that you can add up +15 and +10, and get +25. Would you advice using +25? and buying the extra +10 close up lens? Or macromate +15 would be enough?
Hey. It is shot using the MM-15+... I would not combine the two... I doubt the quality would be good. - but I certainly recommend, having both lenses and using them on the same dive. At least if you do a dedicated macro dive. The Gopro has a fixed focus and can not focus close... I think it works down to 16-18cm... or something like that (out of my memory). But with the +10 we are a 1/3 longer in - and with the Macromate we are down to 5-7cm... so they supplement each other very nicely. It is great 🙂
@@FOTOGRAFITnordic thanks for your test. I needed it :) i hesitate to buy the both +10 and +15 or just one... Seems you recommand to have twice ? If I buy the +15, the adaptator is in the package. But if I buy the +10, I have to add an adaptator for it. The question is if I buy the +10 and +15, do I need an second adaptator ? Of it it possible to switch from +10 to +15 during the dive with just on adaptator ? Thaaank youuuuu :) (I already have the FLIP11 on my gopro 11 with filters)
@@PlongeesDunJour Hey. Yes, you are correct... for the +10 you need the adaptor but for the MM (+159 the adaptor is included. And yes, you can use both on the same dive, which is indeed very practical! :-)
Would you be able to supply EVERYTHING that’s needed to put a Canon R5 with RF 15-35 2.8 in the fairly new Ikelite DS housing for it? The housing, dome, port, extension etc arms/float arms video light flash shoe attachment etc ?
Hey Rob We can absolutely give you a full package with all the parts needed... In fact... that is what we do for a living and we are pretty good at it! ;-D Drop us a Direct Mail, and we´ll get back to you: info@fotografit.eu - as for your question if I would recommend it...? Well... that is both a financial and a political question: Which housing is the best... Nauticam or Ikelite? On almost all fronts, the Nauticam housing is the best... except on three points: The PRICE, post SERVICE and the WEIGHT. Nauticam is a pearl among pearls... it is compact and by far the best underwater housing on the market without a doubt and it will not let you down. But the more interesting question is. Is Ikelite a good housing for you, for the money, for the job you need to do..!? Since I do not know what you´ll need to use it for, I can´t answer the latter... but I can tell you, that the Ikelite-system is also a GREAT system... for an acrylic housing it offers a lot... it works well, it has all accessory features needed, is has a large port program, they offer immaculate service should it be needed (almost never is) - and as you mention, the price is a lot lower. So with that knowledge, you need to look into your wallet and ask yourself, what are you willing to spend on a housing. They are both great and will do the trick... and we´ll help to set up a package that works. The rest is up to you! ;-)
Hey Stan. We absolutely use it for images... I have personally done that for almost 10 years now... coming from only using viewfinders. Using a monitor is of course a lot more expensive, but with the new Shinobi from Nauticam, you can get a high quality monitor system for 2K Euro... and to me that is totally worth the money. You get SUCH better view and ability to compose your image, and a lot better overview of the scenery. It simply increases your ability to work! (and no... there is no time lack from the transfer of the images to the monitor... it is real time)
Really fascinating rig and video, helps a lot 👌. Quick question: what's the precise name of the macro system you've showed in this video? That would help a lot 👍. Cheers
Hey. I honestly can't remember... but the Nauticam CMC system would be good, or the AOI 12,5x... both great lenses. They need to be fairly powerful to make an impact. Have not tested on the HERO9 or 10, though...
@@FOTOGRAFITnordic Hey, awesome, thx for the quick replay. I'm thinking of using the WeeFine WFL13 Macrolens +18 (close-up lens) / 67mm. What do u think, will it work? Cheers
