Boas.
Vamoa viajar e estava a pensar em adquirir um pacote de dados em roaming para fora da UE.
Tenho sido bombardeado co. promoções desta marca mas não conheço istobde lado nenhum. Há boas e más reviews na net... Há por aqui algumas experiências com isto?
Tenho Vodafone e NOS no telefone mas sinceramente somos 3 e 4 números. Ligar Roaming nas Antilhas... vai ficar quase tão caro como a estadia lá :)
45° viewfinder for PT-059
(And some others in near future)
NO it is not the same as aoi UMG-01 NOR UMG-05.
Read below. ;)
So... we scubadivers and snorkelers all know that a perfect trim is horizontal.
And, when filming or shooting wide angle underwater, one needs to get "in front of" the LCD monitor of any hoising for TG7/TG6 etc.. being PT-059 or others...
Even if you do not use just the shader that comes with pt059 and decide to use something like the also great aoi UMG-01, you still need to get your eyes at eyelevel wit the camera to see the whole screen.
I find that to be very unconfortable. And terrible for your neck. (for mine is).
AOI has also a very nice 90° adapter (the AOI UMG-05 which I own) that is super for wide angle shooting in the water column, but, not as good for macro photography in walls, because due to the position we either get in the way of snoots or we easily bang our head against the walls damaging not only our head but also marine critters...
So I searched for a 45° angle viewfinder but... there WAS none. Zero. Nada.
Got back home, open cad... and 3d printed my first version of a 45° angled viewfinder for pt-059.
These images are from the first prototype. The actual model has more details and works super!!!
No more unconfort downing your head to sea-floor level to shoot nudibranchs.
No more pain bumping your head on the walls trying to get close to that shrimp.
No more frustration when snorkeling trying to shoot by the rocks on the beach at intertidal ..
A 45 degrees viewfinder is "all we need".
Simple, direct, removable, light.
Selling in some time.
Can you tell me your honest feedback? Is this something you would consider buying? Do you see interest in this?
And yes, it works great for snorkeling too.
It works on the OM System PT-059, on the AOI housing for TG7, on the Nauticam NA-TG7 with the rails they sell (32 dollars) and I made an adapter to use with the Seafrogs housing for tg7 (the new one with the vaccum verifier adapter).
You can check a preview of one my first versions here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLASKtRbwF4
Put autocaptions and translate to your language as it is more or less ok. I will upload subtitles when I can. :)
So, I’ve been using the 90-degree from AOI for supermacro, but man, it’s been a headache trying to navigate near walls without bumping into those same walls. I’m seriously considering swapping it for a 45 degree so I built one. This option looks way more manageable for those tricky shots. Anyone else had similar struggles?
This gull was really mad at me as I was very close to her nest.

The photo is a bit hazy on purpose, as I wanted to show the inside of the beak without using masks. The highlights look burnt but the histogram say they aren't. :)

There is a whole new population of Himantopus himantopus on the lose now! Just got into this world and I am terribly envious of these guys as they don't pay taxes!!!
É isto...
A minha Renault Espace IV 2.2dci de 2006, versão Paris Initiale, está armada em tonta.
O tecto teve um problema e tive que substituir os patins que suportam o vidro. Foi uma trabalheira para achar os originais porque aquilo já não se faz. Mas pronto, colocou-se, ficou porreiro.
Agora, passado uns dias, a cortina do tecto de abrir, deixou de funcionar.
Ela desencaixou dos suportes que correm nas guias, até aí tudo bem, mas o problema é que os suportes ficaram presos nas guias à frente, ou seja, na posição de "fechado".
Resultado: As guias da cortina não abrem e por isso o tecto de vidro não abre.
Tentei fazer o reset e aquilo teve um comportamento estranho: O tecto de abrir abre e fecha aos bochechos, o que é normal numa reprogramação de limites, mas novamente, os encaixes da cortina nem mexem! Resumindo, no fim, não funciona.
Eu penso, porque vi nim memu do can clip na net, que com um Can Clip Renault se consegue ir ao HCU e fazer actuar os motores um a um no sentido que se quiser... manualmente não consigo.
Os motores funcionam ambos. O da cortina, quando funciona, ouve-se o gajo a saltar (tactactactactac) porque, penso eu, as guias estão presas e por isso aquilo salta. Se continua, gasta a roda dentada e tenho que comprar e instalar tudo... não queria.
De maneira que estou à procura de alguém que perceba destes tectos Renault de 2006 e que me possa ajudar arranjando isto ou alguém que tenha um Can Clip que me possa ajudar a ver se isto dá para accionar os motores via hcu...
Obrigado.
