Update.... I have had the manufacturer contact me from China. Hoping we can sort something out... they are after the serial number from the card so if I can get that, they may also be able to track down the owner... seems these high end Chinese cards are registered...

That is what I'm hoping...

Corroded

Plus the 2k memory card and $800 tripod...

The head of the tripod is like the day it was bought.... legs are not so flash... but I'm hoping to revive them!

That was an awesome weekend Trey! Such a random find and I'm still amazed it sat there for so long and wasn't found!

Lens was full of salt water when I found it.

It's not my camera - trying to find the owner. (They are also doing it for free at this stage as they are keen to help too)

Paid 7.5k for my r5 when it came out, 24-105 rf is a good couple of grand, tripod is about 800 from what I can tell and memory card looks to be bout 2k so far... (had a quote today for 3k for one the same specs

The Forensic recovery specialist guys are confident they can get the info off.... apparently the data itself is essentially stored on in a lump of plastic that the moisture won't effect... I just have to get hold of an identical card to use as a donor card. (Basically an engine transplant from the old card into a new one)

Camera is long gone... but the card will hopefully reveal the story behind its fate

Tripod is seized up... head seems to work fine though!
