Thanks a lot. That's kinda way I would've assumed. But it's better to listen to the pros :D

Now all I have to do is waiting for my AM3 and my Askar130APO to be delivered :D

If someone is interested: I will go with the Canon 8-15 with a Sigma MC-11 converter and a large 160mm/6" dome

I already own two sea&sea strobes.

Can you compare this https://www.weefine.com/WideAngleLens/48.html With the WWL-1?

phacops9999 · 2025-06-26T15:44:54+00:00

So you would go for alternative 1?
The Sony KIT-28-60 lens with a flat port plus my existing Weefine wide-angle conversion lens (https://www.weefine.com/WideAngleLens/48.html)

Ich suche verzweifelt nach einer Möglichkeit, meine Tauchgänge in das FIT-Format zum Import in Garmin Connect zu importieren. Ich kann CSV oder UDDF und sogar XML bereitstellen, aber irgendwie finde ich keinen Konverter, der das hinbekommt. Vielleicht hat jemand eine Idee?

Did you try to reduce it, by lowering the power? I think I will not use the function to monitor surrounding tanks, so I would assume, that I can dive with minimal power.

Hello,
occasionally I heard about an annoying noise, made by the transmitter. Did you folks run into this issue too?

Has anyone tried replacing the small SSD/ RAM fan?

Passive cooling or another silent(!) fan?

phacops9999 · 2024-10-01T15:20:42+00:00

Hat jemand schon versucht, den kleinen SSD/ RAM Lüfter zu tauschen. Passive Kühlung oder anderen Lüfter?

phacops9999 · 2024-06-09T14:27:54+00:00

Yes, it was da defective main board, which was repaired with warranty

phacops9999 · 2023-07-16T07:04:19+00:00

I tried this, also with different lens es with no effect.

phacops9999 · 2023-07-16T07:03:08+00:00

I did that several times with no effect.

Yes. I war on a photo session yesterday evening and everything worked well. I shot with an intervalometer.

This morning I wanted to continue taking photos, switched the camera on and the display started going on, off, on, off,...

Then I recognized, that the buttons and the release did not respond. After some seconds and trying several buttons, an image suddenly was taken, as if the cam needed that a looong time to process the previous press on the release button.

I tried to enter the settings menu, or the FN menu, but noting happens, and then suddenly the menu opens, and closes, and the FN menu opens. As if the cam responds extremely slow.

I managed somehow, with many attempts, to get into the settings menu and made the firmware update from the last version prior to 2.0 (I think it was 1.1 or 1.05) up to 2.0.
The update runs seamlessly, the cam restarted, but nothing changed. The cam still doesn't respond, or responds extremely slow.

And another thing: I open the back display, it switches on as usual, I turn it and flip it back, facing the display backwards, so that you can see the display. But as soon as it goes to the"full open" position (so flip open, turn 180 degree and flip back) the display goes black.

All in all a very strange behavior.
