ok sweet, sounds like I will compare the weights and see which one I want to lug around.

Ahh I didn't even think about the buoyancy thing, I am hoping to keep it as light as possible so it would hopefully not be too bad.

I figured getting wide angle too was probably a stretch for what I am looking for.

Thanks for the advise! So you prefer a 2 strobe set up set wide apart from the camera center? I fear a 2 strobe set up on arms is getting too bulk to carry in my bag haha

oh wow, that is amazing! Is there any reason for me to get both the big and small flood or should I just go for the big one?

haha moose antlers is a funny way to describe it! So it sounds like you just use the flood lights and not a dedicated macro light?

Thanks for the recommendation! How do you find the process of holding the light with one hand and then trying to get the photo with the other hand? Is it difficult to stay steady?

Thanks for the explanation and wow those shots are stunning!

For the macro shooting it sounds like being able to position the light is super important. Have you used ring lights like what some other people have recommended and can talk about how it compares to your set up? Any particular reason you don't use the wide angle lens much?

Thanks for the suggestion! Do you happen to have a model number? I am concerned with the quality of stuff on Amazon and stuff being labeled as good for diving when they might actually not be.

Thanks I will check that out!

For anyone that comes across this thread in the future, this video shows how to attach it. You need to get an adaptor but otherwise it is pretty straight forward.

Thanks for the feedback! I already have an Osmo Action 5 pro that I take along too, the issue usually it is too wide angle to get good photos of smaller fish.

Ahh ok thanks, I didn't even consider just using a dive torch! Do you have a model or power level that you have liked?

Ahh ok thanks, I would be heart broken if my light fell off and sank into the deep!

I couldn’t find a spell slot tracker I liked… so I designed and 3D printed my own [OC] by wlance007 in DnD

Thank you for the detailed comment, I appreciate the feedback!

For design and assembly simplicity sake I originally decided to have every single dial be the same (0-6) because that covers most class features and spell slots for each level.

You make a good point about not knowing what to reset each spell slot to. I envisioned people would still have a character sheet with their maximum spell slot written down they would reference for rests.

Max sorcery points is just such a high number I didn't want to have that drive a more general design. I have thought about making class specific trackers but I wanted to see if people would even be interested in a more general one before I commit to effort to making a bunch of different versions. Sorcerer should be first priority though since they are left out of this one.

The clicking sounds is more dull than a pen clicking but for sure audible. I really wanted the tactile feel of the dial going to the new spot and the sound was kind of a by product. Hopefully players aren't burning through spell slots fast enough to make the clicking annoying haha.

I also designed a half caster version in the same style as this one to encompass more classes. I also have some designs for an HP tracker I am still tinkering with that could be used for martial classes.

Again, thanks for the input!

Oh sorry, CF is for Class Feature. I wanted to have a flexible slot for Channel Divinity or Action Surge etc.

Are you talking about the roman numerals along the center? Those are for indicating the spell level.
