Wanted: Gates dealer that responds to email

[crpntr133]

I just bought a Niterider video light setup and found out that Gates makes a adapter plate for the Ocean Images housings.
I have emailed several stores wanting more information. Lord fobid that someone answers email in this day and age. So can anyone give me an email of a shop that sells Gates and will reply to email. I know you are thinking just call them. It just doesn't work out with my schedule to call. So email is my best bet.

Call Mike Luzansky at H2OPhotopros. You can call him 24/7. I've talked to him at all kinds of odd times. He's pretty hooked up with Gates being in the same general area.

Or call Gates, they're in SoCal so are open hours into the evening your time. Plus they answer the phone 11hrs/day:

I guess all it took was a post on the board to get emails. I got flooded.
I'm not sure who is wrong but Gates says that they don't make a plate for any other housing companies. Niteriders web page says that they do. At any rate I got an email addy for a Niterider rep.

Sorry I didn't answer your email but it was directed to Pamela at Gates. She copied her answer to me.

Here's the deal. Gates makes a few brackets for OUR batteries for other housings. Amazing service on their part! Unfortunately, Ocean Images is not on the list. We do have their Universal Battery Mount Brackets in stock with dovetails for a few older Amphibico housings, Sea&Sea and going forward, Lights and Motion. The Gates specific brackets look like this...
