Aquatica Remote Release
Tim Rock put up a great review over on Wetpixel on the Aquatica Remote Release accessory. This is a nifty little gadget that will allow you to shoot certain scenarios that you ordinarily couldn't shoot.
Tim writes:
When the folks at Aquatica contacted me and told me they had developed
a new remote control that worked with virtually all of its housings, I
begged them to let me give it a try. “Jean, let me be the Pacific
guinea pig,” I begged. After promising not to bug him again until 2010
and buying Blake ringside tickets to a Habs game, they cheerfully
relented.
The remote is pretty simple to use. Those who remember the Old Nikon RS
remote will find this similar. On a D200 and on most of the new D
Nikons, all of the connectors are located on the left side of the body
(from the rear). On the front of the camera is the 10-pin remote
terminal, on the side the Flash PC Sync terminal (normally protected by
screw caps).
A dual bulkhead Aquatica housing lets you use a dual strobe set-up and
the remote. All you do take a wire provide by Aquatica and run it from
the 10-pin remote to the right housing terminal (as you look at the
housing from the back). Then run the remote cord from the right
bulkhead to the remote button. You can vary cord lengths according to
the project. I had one that ran about 20 feet underwater. I used one of
my Think Tank cable wraps to attach it to my TLC arm and that was about
it.
The strobe with a dual Ikelite cable runs out of the left bulkhead into
dual DS 125s. I attached a 2 LB weight to the base of the housing to
keep it from floating up due to the dome. It wasn’t art but it worked.
We stayed in Yap for 10 diving days and I used the housing like this
every day. There were no technical glitches, nothing hard or no high
maintenance. It was pretty much a snap.
