Diving and life insurance

Thu, 09 Feb 2012 08:06:29 -0800

Hello, everyone. Has your diving affected your life insurance premiums? My wife and I are in the process of looking at life insurance, and one company has told us that a single dive to more than 100' makes it impossible to be in a "preferred" rate, putting the insured in a "standard" rate.

Are there any diver-friendly companies out there that do life insurance?

Glass for Nex 7?

Wed, 08 Feb 2012 14:07:53 -0800

Hi all,

I will (most likely) buy a NEX-7, but the available lenses are of no interest to me for underwater use.
I'm getting a bit desperate, as I'm leaving on a (very) long journey of photo and diving soonish.

Looking at the Nauticam port chart (http://www.nauticam.com/images/product/pdf_143_1.pdf), there are some Nikonos to Nex adapter.

I've no experience in Nikonos, but would that be a viable option?
How does Nikonos lenses work, the aperture and focus knobs are directly on the lens IIUC, which is waterproof without a port? (forgive my ignorance, I was not in the water during the Nikonos era .
Would they be alright for an APC-S sensor?

Any input on the combination NEX 7 with Nikonos glass most appreciated!

cheers,
Christian

Which Video Frame Rate

Wed, 08 Feb 2012 12:13:18 -0800

Hi guys

Im fairly new to HD video and Im using a Canon 550D. Im about to do some cage diving with Great Whites this weekend and wondering what frame rate to use for 1920x1080 - 24fps or 30 fps. Also should I use manual mode on the video will it be easy to operate? Or should I just go auto for ease of use?

Travelling and Packing

Wed, 08 Feb 2012 03:10:36 -0800

I would like peoples thoughts on packing.

Do people take their full camera systems as hand luggage?

Does anyone put their systems in hold luggage?

If you put it in hold luggage what protection do you apply.

I ask the question due to my camera system growing and it beginning to weigh more than the hand luggage limit, I dont really want to have to pay any extra if I can get away with it, just wanting to find out what others do.

If I see good ideas I may even change the camera I upgrade to next

Bonaire Diving

Tue, 07 Feb 2012 16:07:01 -0800

Hello all.

I just finished up my short video from a trip to Bonaire we just took. Although the diversity isn't quite what the South Pacific is, it is still fun. I used a Canon 5d Mark II with a 15mm fisheye. I used a magic filter on some of the footage, but I have a hard time getting a good white balance with. I have been finding that unless it is a sunny day, and you are going to be in 20-35 feet. It is very difficult to use.

Being only the 2nd dive trip doing video, I am trying to improve and get better with my skills. So please let me know any comments and recommendations you may have so I can improve.

Sola 2000 vs. Sola 4000

Tue, 07 Feb 2012 15:55:51 -0800

I am trying to decide between the Sola 2000 and the Sola 4000 lights for video. And need some advice from people that have more experience than I do. I have never used lights in video before, and would like to start. I am wondering if the 4000's are overkill? I film with a Canon 5d mark ii, and generally use a 15mm fisheye lens. My diving is typically tropical. and up to this point all wide angle. Would like to start doing Macro during the day and on night dives.

What would I be missing by only getting the 2000's? Meaning, what kind of shots couldn't I get without the 4000's? I plan on buying 2 of whatever I end up deciding on. Money isn't a huge factor, but also, I don't want to spend more just to spend more.

I see the other threads about the 4000's and they seem to be great lights. I am sure that the 2000's are great as well.

Any help you can provide, would be fantastic.

Dustin
