I just received the A6xxx Salted line housing with standard port for my A6000 with kit lens (long time Olympus user). Standard housing, no pistol grip or vacuum pump ordered from SeaFrogs.
It appears to have been removed and 'inspected' while going through customs, according to Seafrogs very responsive support person. The port was not attached to the housing but the locking tab inside the housing was not unscrewed. I've since cleaned, lubed, and correctly attached the port per Seafrogs support. There does NOT appear to be any damage but I will take it for a dive without the camera just to make sure.
When I opened the housing to install the port, I noticed a small, black O-ring loose in the housing. It appears to be about the diameter of the pistol grip port (I never removed pistol grip screw). I gently pushed it into the port hole until I figure out where it belongs. I haven't heard back from Seafrogs as to what this might be. Any suggestions from others with this housing as to where this belongs?
EDIT: Just took another look at the housing - there IS a cold shoe so the question is the best way to mount a focus light! Just need to find a cold shoe mount for a DGX Push Video light. Any suggestions welcomed.
