Inon Knob tests

My last post was about the cold water knobs for my Inon strobes that I got from Jonas Odell. I managed to get them wet in Capernwray on Friday with David Kneale and David Elliot. The sturgeon were most obliging-and Dave Elliot gets Strugeon Wrangler supremo points for actually de-tangling the sturgeons barbels! The viz was superb, although it was a gloomy day. I was using my Nikkor 105mm VR that I mentioned in my earlier post, together with a Fisheye focus light. The water clarity is so good that you can use the 105 as a short telephoto:
    
The backscatter is from the strobe position-I think they were a tad too close.Anyway, water temp was 4 degrees, and my right dry glove seems to be seeping, so my hands were pretty cold. In the past, I have really struggled to adjust my strobe's power output when cold due to the size of the knobs on the Inon strobes (see my previous posts), but with the extenders that I got from Jonas, even at the end of a 45 minute dive, was able to easily adjust them-result! Here are some more pictures from the dive:
  
Thanks to David and Dave-looking forward to the next one!

I've been searching for some time for a way to increase the size of the knobs on my Inon Strobes. As I am forced to shoot in manual mode on my D2Xs (no TTL) and I am currently diving in 4 degree water, I needed a way to get hold of the knobe while wearing bulky dry gloves. I posted onto wetpixel (http://wetpixel.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=28156) and got lots of responses. Jonas Odell from Sweden posted showing that he has made some excellent extenders designed exactly to solve problems like mine

Anyway, I ordered two last Friday (20 euros including carriage)and they turned up today.  Perfect fit! I'll dive them this week, but I'm sure that they have answered my prayers! Such an excellent item, and such a quick turn around is amazing! contact Jonas on jonas.odell@bredband.net
