The travel restrictions instituted in order to control COVID-19 have presented challenges for the testing of equipment. As a case in point, Wetpixel Editor Adam Hanlon has had the Seacam Seaflash 160D strobes for over 18 months but has only now managed to get into blue water to give than a thorough test. In this episode, he outlines his findings about the strobes thus far.

Adam chats to Harald Hordosch and Esther Boehm of Seacam about Nikonos lenses and how they convert them to work with modern Nikon SLR cameras. They discuss the advantages of water contact optics, how Nikon’s design has stood the test of time, and the process needed to update them to work with modern cameras.
eacam has released a new carrying system. It comprises paracord lanyards with tack hook connections and stainless steel connections that attach to the central bolt on arm clamps. This gives the option of attaching the lanyard on the housing to arm connection, when using a macro lens and shorter arms for example. If longer arms are used, the connectors can be moved to the arm to arm connection, allowing for a more comfortable carrying position.
