Background: I have a Mako PC110 housing and am in general satisfied with the macro/zoom port that comes standard. However, it's 65 deg angle of coverage is a...
I have the L&M W/A lens on a PC100 housing and I use it exclusively. It's definitely worth getting (although I attend DEMA and got it there for only $300)....

Hi, all, As a non-owner of a dome port, I'm curious what happens if you try to shoot video through a dome port in air. For example, if you start a shot ...
Hi Mike, All of the dome ports I've used have shot well in air as well as water. I don't have an explanation one way or the other for it, but it does work ...
Hi, all. This is my first time posting to this site, however I'm an avid reader of the questions and responses. I want to take a poll of the types of...
I have an Undersea Video Housings housing with light system. Without the lights, the system can be either negative, neutral, or positive at your choice. (You...
Hi masdive, I personally like names, whoever you are, and wherever you are from...sorry if I've offended you, though... ... A well-developed housing will be...
Another solution if your housing isn't too bulky: a clip tether to attach your housing to your BC. Mine's coiled with a buckle to shorten it when I'm not...
I presume he had the appropriate lift bags already attached to the housing in that case. If flooding occurs he would 'simply' blow up the lift bags. Of course...
Masdive, I currently shoot video with an Ikelite 6008.96 housing and am very pleased. It comes equipped with a weighted detachable base, which makes changing...
I have a Mako Housing with a Sony PC-110 camcorder. It is almost neutral to very slightly negative when the camera is equipped with the largest battery...
Mike Boom -- I also have an USVH housing with lights (I love the lights, but don't always use them during day diving). The weighting on my system is slightly...
I guess I should have listed my complete system. USVH housing with TRV900 camcorder, 3in video monitor against back plate with internal monitor batteries...
... Hi Mike, I don't usually use a lanyard...I've only used one when I first started shooting for the first two trips in the 80's, and then a couple of years...
I use the Gates Housing for TRV 900, with external monitor and NiteRider 10 watt HID lights. Without any peripherals, the housing and camera are just slightly...

I do not use a coiled lanyard. Instead, I use a locking carabineer tied with cave line and backed up with a Velcro strap to my left housing grip. That way I...

Craig, how do you fine tune your camera at the start of every dive? Salinity and temperature changes affect sea water density so I presume you have some cheap...
I asked Howard about that. He said that the housing was already almost unmanageable as it was, so adding a clunky lift bag wasn't an option. Besides, most of...
Right now my housing fully loaded is about 2 Lbs positive. When I get around to adding weights I will make them dumpable just in case. But yes, my BC can ...
... I misspoke earlier. Now that I've checked my records, I realize that I keep the weighting in with the lights attached, otherwise the weight of the lights...
... Hi Mike, Again, I'll try to enlighten many of you once more...I love my ankle weights for the counterbalancing I use them for as well as being able to take...
haven't had to make adjustments per dive. Dive in tropical water so not much temp changes. Craig...
