Hi, all, The results of the LAUPS 42nd competition have been posted at: http://www.laups.org/42comp/winlist.htm You'll find a couple of video categories there,...
Mike and all, Thanks for the congrats. Leaving tomorrow for the Dema show but when I come back I will try to get them posted somewhere and let you all know. ...
Thinking about converting a couple of Kinetics Light Canons (HID) for use on a housing... anybody else have any experience with this... am I waisting my time...
... I haven't used these lights, but: If you already have access to one or two of these lights, consider giving it a test run before spending time converting....
I have been using a single on with my uwvideo, it only works well when it is dark (under kelp, in caves, holes, or really deep). Using two would be better and...
Forgot to add. - I get about an hour and a half of burn time (sucks!) on a brand new set of Duracells. That is about $10 each time I use it. I need to research...
... I've had rechargable "D" battery packs made numerous times before. Look for a battery specialist/ty place; one that does electronic stuff. There are a ...
I've had the UK Light Cannons since they were introduced at the New Orleans Dema. They must be used with 2 difffusers which are supplied. They have good...
Aloha Dick....I use a video light with my still digital set-up and before I saw the Light and Motion Sunrays, I used the Kinetics Light Cannon. It did a...
... HID should be used the opposite way unless your subjects are relatively far away, and those light cannons are not really very bright anyway (only 450...
I'm going down to Cozumel, Grand Cayman and Key Largo at the end of November. Anybody know what the likely conditions of the dive sites regarding the reefs...
Warren, I found your discussion very interesting. I have never gone in with one halogen and one HID and it sounds like according to you this should produce an...
Using two would be better and would work better for anything more than 5 or 6 feet away, or with wide subjects. Keep in mind that anything more than 5' away...
I've had a set of light cannons for two years - I bought them because the battery pack on my L&M lights was unwieldy and always seemed to get in the way when...
I was disappointed by the short run time of UK's rechargable option. 4500 mAH sized Nickel-metal-Hydride cells last me five dives, about 45 minutes "ON" per...
Dear Michael, I have visited your website. I find your pictures are just amateur standards,with more room for improvements. You should invest in a better...
Ummmm, OK. I wasn't asking for a review. I am not pro (never said I was, dont plan to be) and I don't have $5k to drop on new equipment. Telling me I need...
Don't mind him Mike, I just took a look at your web site and if my stuff was half as cool as yours is I would be delighted. People like that are no use to this...
Hi Michael, I agree with Rohan in that it's not worth the time to interpret what anyone else may have meant by something they said in a previous email. I also...
Mike, I couldn't open your videos. I like to encourage everyone and don't know whether Albert was speaking the tactless truth or not. It would be nice to...
Steve, Mike, et al, I dunno, I was able to view the videos. I think we can ALL improve (duuh...) our work, but (as Steve said) a "tactless", unasked-for...
Dear Mike, I wasn't giving you a review but just a general comment from my side. Please try not to be so defensive.OK,So you think you know what is better...
Mike, Im not a professional but IMHO the light Canons would be too heavy in the water. Keep working at it. I prefer my video unit to be neutral so its easier...
I already have one Light Cannon, the original poster was asking about using them. I like mine for now, but am always looking for a smaller more portable system...
I have recently purchased a Light & Motion Bluefin housing for my Sony TRV-950, and I am torn between the Sunray dual 21-watt HID lighting system that was...
Steve, I use the Halcyon 50w system and really like it. I don't know about the L & M system, but the battery pack for the Halcyon slips onto the waistband of...
... Hi Steve, So far, your system sounds great! I personally like the L&M HID's (and especially their color and brightness), but I also have the bigger, older...
Has anyone on the list experienced color drop out or output problems from their DV camcorders? Previous recordings were sharp and clear,but when played back...
What tape decks or camcorders did you use to play back the tape? From what I read here, it was your DV (miniDV?) camcorder and your wife's DV camcorder played...
I have been using the 2 light cannons for wide angle work on a heavy Gates housing for the VX 2000. I do not find the weight in water issue to ever present a...
