Hi, I have been using UW cameras for over 10 years. Always kept several units of different brands and using just one type/brand of silicone grease for all the different o-rings. Never bad happened. Actually, I was searching for this topic online and finally it seems more a marketing strategy for brands to sell their specific silicone grease than anything related to safety or proper maintenance. Regards.
@@NanonerMcKologico sure, I fully understand what you mean and personally I agree. But like in all industries, companies will always recommend to only use their original spare parts. If you don’t do they might void the guarantee in case of anything happening with the gear. Standard procedure and everyone can decide for themself whether or not they want to follow the recommendation. Coz that’s what it is, a recommendation. No more and no less. 🤷🏻♂️
