I have a nice new Ikelite housing for my PC1000 -and some questions for fellow vidogs who own similar housings.
1.The housing seems massively positive -even with the lead weighted foot fixed on. Where are people adding additional lead to get the thing approaching negative? I'm thinking of maybe just duct taping some shot around the base, also do I use the housing with the 'foot' or is the foot just for supporting the housing out of the water?
2. There's plenty of room inside the housing for a silica gel pack but what adhesive is safe to use on the polycarbonate shell -I'd like to add a blob of glue to stop the pack moving about.
3. What are those handturn knobs at both ends of each handle for? I think I could take these off and add some drilled lead discs to the bolts and screw them down under the knobs-should trim the housing nicely but I'd love to know what they are really for.
4. Does anyone use a Inon wide angle, I'm about to spend a small fortune on one for this housing and wondered what peopkle thought and if there where alternatives.
Any other tips on specific Ikelite foibles gratefully received
Many thanks
