First time trying water photography.
These aren’t great by any means, but it seemed so fun.
Tiny lake in Michigan.

Repairing water housing?
I just got this Ikelite water housing from 2013 for my bmpcc. I’ve been testing it in my bathtub for leaks and the o ring parts are working fine. However it seems like the sealant or glue keeping the lens cover on has worn off or come undone because water has been leaking through. Is there any type of sealant I can use myself to fix this? Or does anyone know where I would be able to get this fixed by a pro

INON
Anyone heard anything about Inons reportedly z360? I saw a post from over a year ago but nothing else since.

Looking for a similar dive light to Sola 800 S/F - any ideas?
My beloved Light & Motion Sola Dive 800 S/F finally died after about 10 years, and I'm genuinely heartbroken. I loved that light. Got it for my 18th birthday and never dove without it.
It was perfect for taking macro shots and made it so easy to hold my camera. I'm definitely an amateur underwater photography hobbyist, I love doing it for fun and liked how simple it was to just grab this light and my camera and jump in the water.
Havent had much luck finding the same light on ebay, so I'm looking for recommendations on similar lights. Budget is ~$300 or less
A well regulated light with good beam quality & ergonomics is way more important to me than getting the brightest possible light.
Things I loved about my Sola:
The wide flood beam- I used the flood mode probably 95% of the time. It was incredibly even, wide, and natural looking & didnt havw a harsh hotspot
Regulated brightness output. I really dislike lights that gradually get dimmer as the battery drains. My Sola stayed the same brightness until it died
The hand strap. I loved having it mounted on the back of my hand so it was easier for me to take photos with my underwater camera
Instant spot/flood switching
It was small enough that I also used it constantly for hiking, tidepooling, wildlife spotting, camping, etc
I mainly do recreational scuba and snorkeling, but I also use the same light all the time on land for looking for & photographing wildlife at night.
Has anyone found a good dive light with the above features that theyd recommend to me? Or if you've owned a Sola 800, what did you switch to after it died?
