Since I lead trips as well as film, I am often asked by my guests as to whether I will be making a trip video for them. I always say that since the on board...
Interesting observations on differences in editing style. I wonder how much of that is really the videographer's style vs. what they think the potential...
I am moving on to a smaller system for travel and am looking to sell my FX1. The system is in great shape and comes with the following: LMI Bluefin Housing...
I've got the Gates with the Sony HC9 and really like it. It's nice and compact so it travels great. I have a HPRC rolling case that is airline carryon sized...
I have another Gates system for my old Sony TRV900 and I'm using the same light system I had on it, so I didn't have to even buy new lights. On another Gates...
Anyone know about this PBS series? http://www.wliw.org/algiddings/ I found an ad for it on the DEMA web site. It claims it was showing June of 2008, but I...
I am getting ready to head to the Galapagos in a couple of weeks and just finished a check-out dive with my new HC9. I noticed a lot of "artifacts" on the TV...
... If the HC9 is similar in low-light performance and white balancing to my Sony A1U, then what you might be seeing is red noise. In low light, when you...
This is their second year having a film festival at this regional marine science conference. I had a film in their first festival, and it's a good place to...

I'm cleaning out some old email, and this message (below) raised a technical question for me. Camera manufacturers are building video into DSLRs, so that makes...

Hi, all, I just got a new pair of Light & Motion lights with two big battery pods that I have to mount on my USVH housing somewhere. I'm curious if anyone on...
Mike, Call L & M and speak to Paul Barnett. They have an adaptor for other housings. Steve Douglas ... WORLD FILMS & TRAVEL WWW.WORLDFILMSANDTRAVEL.COM...
I'll give it a shot, but suspect that USVH is a small enough housing brand that L&M doesn't have a specific adaptor for it. Do you know if the L&M adaptors are...
Mike, I know that Marc Weiss has rigged his lights and pods in all kinds of ways. (I think he even posted something to this effect recently? Possibly ...

... I did. I first saw them last April in Fiji and was impressed with their strength. I dearly love my USVH fluorescent bulbs, but they're the older...
Ah, duct tape, velcro, and tie wraps! Is there anything you can't connect with them? I remember my first housing had no place to mount a tripod, so I lashed a...
Mike, You should love the 2000s. The only problem is that for macro work you will want to set them to the low 500 lumens setting or risk blowing out your...
Hey All, We've put this one together with a strong topside and underwater emphasis but you don't have to be a videographer to join. We learned a lot from the...
Mike, I too have a USVH housing and have gone over to L&M lights. L&M makes a universal adaptor plate which will accept the battery pods and has attachment...
Doug, I'd like to see the pictures too. I also have a USVH housing (2 actually) and I made an aluminum plate that screws into the bottom so I can mount it on...
Thanks, Doug! Since John Williams is also interested, maybe you could post the picture to the uwvideo page on YahooGroups so we can all take a gander. Mike...
OK. Photos are posted in the group photo area. The plate on the USVH housing is 1/4 " aluminum and uses the screws that held on the battery compartment rails....
Thanks, Doug. Looks nicely done. When you have the batteries mounted on the bottom of your housing, where do you attach a tripod? It looks like the battery...
