    Thumbnail is good.

    Next time, use silicon sealant between the lens the same way you did but don't torque the screws down all the way. Let the silicon set and essentially make a perfect seal, then torque the screws down so that you maintain pressure on the newly formed rubber seal. This has helped me in the past.

    Hi Daniel, Very cool video! I think you need to remove the reflector to get more even lighting. The reflector is concentrating the light beam, which is OK, if you want to look at a small area with intensive lighting. But for your purpose, and also for the sake of camera footage, you will be better of with the natural light flow from the COB. I believe it has something like a 170 degree angle, and no sharp edge. The sharp edge would require too much wide dynamic range for most cameras at this light intensity, I think. Give this IFish some extra light! ;-)

    my favorite thing about your channel is that you just make whatever you're interested in, not what seems like a good fit for youtube. I hope you never change that!

    I honestly keep coming back because of how I know I'm not getting a one attempt and over video. We know you are going to normally design something, test it, improve it, and when even my doubts are like "Nah he's not gonna get this" somehow you freaking pull it off. If you don't, we still learn. It's an amazing formula that I fall for every time and I love it :D

    Do a waypoint mission in a grid pattern for even light laying!

    Just from watching all this guys videos, I personally think this guy is a certified genius. Hes so damn smart and comes up with some crazy ideas that work amazing. Just taking some engineering classes won’t make you this smart. I feel like the majority of the time, my brain thinks up all these cool ideas like this, but I have the hardest time getting the motivation and energy to get up and make them, especially with everything going on in my life. I wish I had this guys energy. Huge props man, you’re one of the most creative channels I’ve ever watched!

    Using multiple lights aiming in opposite directions with diffusers / silks on them may yield better results. The directional lens is limiting you, especially when trying to paint the largest area of light possible for long exposures

    Got my blueberry oatmeal, my caramel espresso, my bong full of gelato, and a new RCTestFlight video. My morning couldn't get any better.

    “optimal underwater lighting, for maximum party vibes“ what a banger of a statement

    You should try a diffuser for the light. Instead of clear acrylic use white for the waterproof shield

    Cool little small projects we really need more of these

    I'd recommend designing a groove for an o-ring for the housing closure. Have it weave around the inside side of all the screws. Silicone, plus an o-ring would definitely help seal that bad boy up

    pro tip, on your next revision add a port to fill the case with argon, and another port to evacuate the air , to replace the moist air inside the housing with argon, and toss a little bag of silica gel into it before sealing the front plate. try not to pressurize the insides, just flood it at atmospheric pressure with argon for a bit. its how we make night vision systems condensation free.

    Instead of compositing, you should try a very long exposure shot on a DSLR with low ISO and low aperture (and ND filters if needed to lower the amount of light hitting the sensor even more), and then try to drive at a constant pace. It could make for very cool effects... but the sea weed would probably appear super "soft" and blurry secause of ripples on the water, underwater currents etc.

    Colin really pulled the first segment together. 10/10 water goblin.

    I love this idea! Great vid! I think it would be really cool to have the light on a 360 swivel so you could cover more area quickly.

    That was way COOL! I like both pics, the uneven and photoshopped of the underside of the montlake bridge. The "little fish that found a friend" likely was blinded by all the light and just trying to snuggle up next to something bigger. LOL

    love that right after the shot of you wondering at the amount of particulates in the air, you have a glimpse of port industry smokestacks in the next shot
