let it air dry for a while and it should be fine

On some cases the foam is sturdier to begin with so 2 coats is enough. On cheaper brands the foam is softer so 3-4 coast are needed to get it nice and firm.

@@wileyvisuals5714 appreciate it!

This was all with the Sigma 18-35 f/1.8.

Thanks! Yeah this was the Salted housing. Definitely a good starting point for getting in the water. This was the first time I was able to take mine out in solid reefbreak surf and it survived fine.

I've never needed to but my guess would be that it probably wouldn't work very well - this stuff does a darn good job of holding it all together. Of course, you could just take a stanley knife and hack at it but that might not look too pretty!

@@wileyvisuals5714 Thanks. I’ve ordered some plasti-dip and will keep that in mind.

I wonder if you'd care to comment on your results after all this time... I'm about to p-dip my foam and was thinking it'd be easy enough to make changes if I needed to (though one would need to be careful). Alternatively, I could simply purchase another level of pick and pluck foam and start over...

Hmmm. That second idea would allow for multiple versions of padding for the same case... Interesting.

Well then you'd put them all on to a 120fps timeline and render a 120fps video file. But not very many places will let you play back a 120 video file.

The lens port and zoom gears are swappable so there are various combinations available for different lenses. When I purchased the housing it gave me the option to select my lens so that they can provide the correct zoom gear. You can check on their website to see lens compatibility.

@@wileyvisuals5714 Thanks for this info man. Do I need to use the zoom ring for prime lenses? Just want to make sure and last question, do I need to use the anti fog sheets that comes with it?

Haha yes I've kept it mostly the same... just slight improvements over time. I think the ZCams are great IF you know how you want to use it. If you have strong idea about how you like (or want) to shoot then you can really build a rig that suits your personal style. For people who don't understand their own style though, it might be overwhelming to have to figure out all the rigging options!

@@wileyvisuals5714 No worries, mate. I'm confident ;-) I don't think I've ever looked at someone else's rig and not wanted to re-configure it in some way, but how you have yours built is right in my sweet spot. It's practically how I have my P6K rig built out, but with a cleaner form factor and config. That Rolux 99 is pricey over here ($279US), but it also looks great, and that's at least half the reason to buy it over a $149 equivalent ;-) Maybe I could let you know if I change anything, and for what reason. I know I'll be putting it on longer 15mm rods for example, as I have the Sigma 50-100mm f/1.8, which is a beast from a balancing perspective. Thanks again! Have you tried/do you intend to try the Turbo Boost? I have one on back order. Curious if it really will render a true full frame look (at 1.09x crop) and the extra stop of light is always a belssing.

Hi Alastair, I find the rolling shutter totally fine when tracking subjects from a tripod (eg a car, surfer on a wave, etc). When it does become a problem is when there is a wiggle or vibration in the image when you're handheld. Like all cameras though, it can be avoided with proper technique or additional tools (eg easyrig).

@@wileyvisuals5714 Hi John, thanks very much indeed, that's great to know. Much appreciated 👍🙏

Just horrible horrible HORRIBLE
