Thanks James. The towel tip for extra grip is a good idea, but unfortunately it didn't work for me. I've tried everything I can and am now resigned to the fact that I will have to do without my dome port for this trip. And yes, you're right, it is easy to mix up which direction to turn it so I...

Seeking some urgent advice from anyone who has actually used the 9-18 Oly lens behind the Olympus flat port. From what I have heard I understand that you can get some distortion (and obviously you're not going to get the full angle of view). However I'm keen to hear from anyone who has had...

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried it and definitely got more leverage. But unfortunately the port remains firmly jammed on!

Do a liveaboard. I did the Maldives last September and it was up there with the best diving I've ever done.

A question for any photographers using Olympus housings (I have the EPL-5 housing). I'm having a real battle getting the port off my housing. I want to swap the Olympus flat port over to my Zen dome port which I have done a number of times before and have always been able to do it by hand (with...

So I guess no one has used these lights?

I'm looking for a light to use as a both a video light and focus light. At this stage of research I have two in mind that would fit the budget and requirements (eg relatively light weight, wide beam, power level adjustment, reasonable priced replaceable batteries, 2500 lumens or more). I'm...

I have a quick question which sort of fits in with this thread. I want to get the Backscatter Flip filters for my Hero 3+. Is the Flip 3.1 combo the correct 'fit' for the 3+ version of the GoPro? (I'm not sure if there are different filter attachments for the Hero 3 vs the Hero 3+). Thanks.

Most airlines I have flown with allow you to carry a camera as an additional item to your hand luggage (sometimes stated by the airline as a 'small' camera - I would argue my EPL5 is small compared to DSLRs). So I carry my camera in a small camera bag slung over my shoulder in addition to my...

Thanks Sooke. I will look into getting a strap wrench.

Thank you Trickster. I am glad to know I won't have to modify the housing as I am always wary of doing such things. I am not much of a handyman.

Very impressive KF!

I am about to buy the Zen dome for the 9-18mm but just wanted to check if any modification is required to the Oly housing (for E-PL5) in order t fit the dome. I think I saw somewhere that a modification was required in order to fit the dome for the fisheye lens so was wondering if this is...

I am contemplating buying a dome so would be interested in any other feedback on using the 60mm and 12-50mm with the dome. It would certainly be handy to have one port that covered all my lenses, but I don't want to compromise on image quality (or autofocus capability as per 'deeper thoughts'...

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I have come across that option but the downside is that the position of the GoPro would at times interfere with the position of my strobe. For macro subjects I often position the strobe right in the area that the GoPro would occupy.

This is the first time I have come across this mount. I have been looking for some way to mount my GoPro to the lens port of my underwater stills camera. I have an Olympus camera in an Olympus housing and and I am wondering whether I could somehow adapt this mount with an extra velcro strap so...

I just bought a GoPro and notice there is no mention of greasing the O-ring in the instructions. I am guessing it isn't necessary?

Nice macro shots!

There is some very good and very easy diving to be had on the Dauin Coast of Dumaguete which is approx 1 hour flight south of Manilla. There are some bars in town where you can mix with the locals. Tapatalk 2

From what I can gather I think the adapter is simply a 'click on' fitting so it would be okay with relative light weight of macro lenses but not with the greater weight of WA lenses. I seem to recall looking on the Olympus website and when they mention the adapter they only talk about macro...
