How to Connect External Strobes to the Salted Line UW Housing for Sony A6###❓

Hey everyone,
External strobes are one of the best ways to take your underwater photography to the next level. They give you powerful, directional light, bring back natural colours and cut down backscatter significantly.⚡

The Salted Line waterproof camera housing for the Sony A6### series was designed with this in mind. It comes with dual fiber optic ports, so you can easily connect one or two external strobes using Fiber optic cables. 🔌

In Sony A6### underwater housing, the camera’s built-in pop-up flash is used to fire external strobes via fiber optic cable. 📸

In this guide we show you exactly how to connect everything, just like in video on our Youtube channel (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8uETr7MW_0). The whole setup works through optical triggering with your camera’s built-in flash.

Compatible Cameras 📷

This guide works with:

• Sony A6500
• Sony A6400
• Sony A6300
• Sony A6100
• Sony A6000

What You Will Need 🛠️

• Salted Line underwater camera housing for Sony A6### series
• Fiber optic cable (available on saltedlineeurope.com) 🔌
• Any external underwater strobes that support fiber optic triggering. ⚡

Step-by-Step Connection Guide ✅

1️⃣ Prepare everything

Start by making sure the Salted Line waterproof camera housing is clean and completely dry. Remove the protective caps from the dual fiber optic ports and check that nothing is blocking them. (Photo 1)

2️⃣ Connect the other end to the strobe

First, attach one end of the fiber optic cable to the optical input port on your external strobe. Make sure it goes all the way in and sits securely. (Photo 2,3)

3️⃣ Lubricate the fiber optic cable

Before inserting the cable into the housing, apply a thin layer of Original silicon grease to both ends. This helps create a good seal and makes the cable slide in smoothly. Only use the original grease. (Photo 4)

4️⃣ Connect the cable to the housing

Take the free end of the fiber optic cable and push it firmly into one of the ports on the Salted Line waterproof camera housing. Try to keep the cables neat so they don’t get in the way. (Photo 5,6)

5️⃣ Final check

Double-check that both ends of the cable are properly connected. The cable shouldn’t be pinched or bent sharply. (Photo 7)

Getting the Fiber optic cable connection right is key to reliable strobe performance underwater. Follow these steps and you’ll have a clean, solid setup every time.

How to Attach and Detach Extension Rings on 6" and 8" Dome Ports❗

Hey everyone!
Changing lenses or performing routine maintenance on your Dome port often requires removing or swapping the Extension ring. While the process is straightforward, doing it correctly is essential to protect the O-rings and keep your Salted Line waterproof camera housing fully watertight.

Here’s a clear, step-by-step guide. 👇

How to Remove the Extension Ring

Unscrew the safety lock pin (safety block) on the dome port. 📸 (Photo 1)

Hold the dome port firmly with both hands and turn it so the extension ring faces you. 📸 (Photo 2)

Rotate the extension ring counterclockwise until it releases, then separate it from the dome port. 📸 (Photo 3)

O-Ring Inspection and Maintenance

After removing the extension ring, carefully inspect the dome port O-ring. If the O-ring are clean, simply wipe away the old grease with a soft tissue. If you see any sand, salt, or debris, remove the O-ring carefully using the removal tool, clean both the O-ring (do not stretch it) and the groove thoroughly, then apply a thin, even layer of the original SeaFrogs /Salted Line Silicone grease.

We covered this topic in more detail in our blog post “How to Maintain O-Rings on Salted Line Dome Ports: Step-by-Step Guide” on saltedline.com (https://www.saltedline.com/blogs/news/how-to-maintain-o-rings-on-salted-line-dome-ports-step-by-step-guide)

How to Attach the Extension Ring

Align the extension ring with the dome port and rotate it clockwise until it stops. 📸 (Photo 4)

Install the safety lock pin and firmly tighten it. 📸 (Photo 5)

After this step, if needed, carefully service the main O-ring on the extension ring. 📸 (Photo 6)

Attach the dome port (with the chosen extension ring) to your Salted Line waterproof camera housing. 📸 (Photo 7)

Always perform the classic bucket test: submerge the fully assembled housing in fresh water, operate all controls, check that the Leak detection sensor has not been triggered, and visually confirm that no water has entered the camera housing. 📸 (Photo8)

This simple routine takes just a couple of minutes but significantly reduces the risk of leaks and keeps your gear performing reliably for many dives to come. 🛡️

For the full step-by-step guide, check out our video on Youtube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7s3V0cmWW8)
(starting at 2:00 and continuing to the end). ▶️

Pro Tip

If you regularly switch between different lenses, having two or three different Extension rings ready is much more practical than buying multiple complete Dome port assemblies.

How to Avoid Water Droplets on Your Dome Port❓ Hey everyone,Water droplets on your dome port are one of the most common ...

How to Avoid Water Droplets on Your Dome Port❓

Hey everyone,
Water droplets on your dome port are one of the most common frustrations in underwater photography. They are especially annoying when shooting split-level (over/under) images or working in surf and waves. A single bead of water can ruin an otherwise perfect frame with blurry spots, distortions, or unwanted reflections.

The good news is that this problem is very manageable. With the right preparation and a few proven techniques, water will sheet off your dome port evenly, leaving it almost invisible in your photos and videos.

Here is a practical guide based on methods that experienced underwater and surf photographers use successfully with their Salted Line waterproof camera housings.

1️⃣ The Classic “Wet Port” Method - Your Most Reliable Solution
The simplest and most common way to keep a Dome port droplet-free is to create a thin hydrophilic layer that turns beading water into a smooth sheet. The best solution? Your own saliva.
How to do it step by step:

• Before entering the water, spit generously on the dome and spread it evenly with your tongue (never use your fingers-skin oils can make things worse).
• Let the layer semi-dry for 5-10 minutes while you finish gearing up. Some photographers even apply a base coat the night before for better results.
• Once in the water, give the housing a quick dunk and lightly lick the port again to remove any thick spots.
• Keep your Salted Line waterproof camera housing fully submerged until the exact moment you are ready to shoot. Lift it smoothly, take the shot or burst, and dunk it straight back under.

This technique works because saliva reduces surface tension, so water clings as a uniform film instead of forming visible droplets. It is free, always available, and works extremely well with Salted Line camera housings during split shots or wave action.

2️⃣ Alternative Treatments When Saliva Isn’t Ideal
Not everyone likes the saliva method. Here are excellent alternatives that many divers and surf photographers recommend:

• A tiny drop of baby shampoo, mild eco-friendly dish soap, or a dedicated anti-fog solution such as Sea Drops.
• Specialized hydrophilic gels designed specifically for underwater ports.

Apply them in a thin, even layer, let them set briefly, then rinse lightly. Reapply during long sessions because these coatings can gradually wash off. A quick fresh-water rinse right before entering the ocean also helps remove any dust or residue that could cause streaking.

3️⃣ Smart Shooting Techniques That Make a Big Difference
Even with perfect preparation, your technique in the water plays a huge role:

• Dunk-and-shoot: Fully submerge the dome right before pressing the shutter, then lift it steadily into position.
• Move with the waves instead of fighting them - natural motion helps water run off instead of pooling.
• When possible, use a larger-diameter dome. Bigger domes make any remaining droplets smaller and far less noticeable in the frame.
• Shoot in bursts during the “sheeting” moment - you will often capture beautiful light refractions as a bonus.

4️⃣ Quick Fixes and After-Use Care

• If a rogue droplet appears, a quick dunk and light lick usually fixes it instantly.
• After every dive, rinse your Salted Line waterproof camera housing thoroughly in fresh water and let it dry completely in a shaded area. This prevents hard-water spots from forming over time.

Clear Ports Mean Better Shots
Dealing with water droplets on a dome port does not have to be a constant battle. A clean port combined with the wet-port method and smart timing will dramatically improve your results - whether you are capturing epic surf splits, colorful reef scenes, or dynamic wave action.
Salted Line waterproof camera housings are built with high-clarity dome ports precisely for this kind of creative shooting. Pair them with these simple habits and you will spend less time fighting droplets and more time creating the images you love.
Next time you head out with your Salted Line setup, try these steps and watch your keeper rate improve.

❗Keep This in Mind❗

Please keep in mind that there is no single technique that can guarantee 100% elimination of water droplets in every situation. The best approach is to experiment with the methods above and discover what works best for your particular setup.

Sony A7V/A7RV Underwater Housing: Sea Frogs Regular vs Salted Line Version ⚔️Hey everyone,If you’re shooting with the So...

Sony A7V/A7RV Underwater Housing: Sea Frogs Regular vs Salted Line Version ⚔️

Hey everyone,
If you’re shooting with the Sony A7V or A7RV and looking for a reliable underwater camera housing, you’ve probably come across two popular options from Sea Frogs: the regular version and the enhanced Salted Line version. The Salted Line series is a new series of affordable hybrid waterproof camera housings built for underwater and surfing photography. Both housings are well-made and capable, but they offer noticeably different experiences once you’re in the water.
After receiving lots of questions from our community, we decided to put together this detailed, real-world comparison. It’s based on feedback from dozens of divers, surf photographers and our own extensive testing.

🌊 Less Drag, More Control
Both housings share the same solid construction and 40-meter depth rating you expect from Sea Frogs. However, the Salted Line version was specifically refined for greater durability in super harsh conditions and big waves. The body has smoother lines and slightly redesigned handles that reduce drag in the water. This makes a real difference when you’re swimming against currents or shooting in moving surf. The housing feels more stable and requires less effort to hold and manoeuvre.

✋ Ergonomics and Handling
This is one of the areas where the Salted Line version really shines. The control buttons have been repositioned and redesigned for more natural finger placement, especially when wearing thick gloves. The grip feels more balanced and comfortable during long dives or extended surf sessions. Many users tell us that after switching to the Salted Line waterproof camera housing they can shoot for significantly longer sessions with much greater comfort.

🎥 Video Recording Capabilities
If you shoot both stills and video, the Salted Line Underwater Housings for Sony A7RV/A7V сameras gives you a clear advantage. It features M33 bulkhead interface as regular, making it much easier to connect an external monitor or other accessories.

📺 LCD and Screen Visibility
The Salted Line Underwater Housings for Sony A7RV/A7V version comes with a noticeably larger and clearer LCD screen window. This makes composing shots and reviewing footage much easier when you’re underwater wearing a mask, especially important in lower light conditions or when you need to check settings quickly.

💪 Real-World Performance
In calm diving conditions both housings perform very well. But when you go dipper then 25 miters or the condition get more dynamic, strong currents, big waves, or fast-moving marine life, the Salted Line underwater camera housing consistently feels more planted and responsive. The refined balance and improved ergonomics translate into sharper images and less frustration when the ocean decides to test you.

• Please note that the regular Sea Frogs Sony A7RV camera housing has been discontinued. However, it is still available on various marketplaces and from third-party sellers.

The Salted Line version is the more advanced and future-proof option. It’s the housing we recommend to most of our customers who want the best possible experience with their A7V or A7RV underwater.

6” vs 8” Dome Ports: What’s the Real Difference for Salted Line Camera Housings? 🌊📸

Hey everyone,
One of the most common questions we receive from Salted Line users is: “What’s the difference between the 6” and 8” domes? How noticeable is it really?” 🤔
It’s a fair question and one that comes up constantly on forums like Reddit, ScubaBoard, Wetpixel. Many underwater and surf photographers wonder whether the larger Dome is worth the extra size and weight, or if the compact 6” version is more than enough.
Here’s a clear, practical breakdown based on real-world experience from hundreds of divers and photographers who use Salted Line waterproof camera housings daily. 💪

Why Dome Size Actually Matters
The size of the dome port affects how light bends when it moves from water (or air) into your lens. A larger Dome creates a bigger “virtual image” radius. This helps rectilinear wide-angle lenses perform better across the entire frame, especially in the corners, where smaller domes can sometimes show slight softness.
However, bigger also means more bulk, more drag underwater, and more space in your travel bag. 🧳

Real-World Performance: 6” Dome
The 6” dome is the most popular choice among Salted Line users and for good reason. It delivers excellent image quality in the vast majority of shooting conditions. Corners are sharp enough for most reefs-capes, wrecks, marine life, and general wide-angle work. Many photographers report that the difference in everyday underwater shots is small unless you’re pixel-peeping at wide apertures or comparing two images side-by-side on a large monitor.

Big advantages of the 6” Dome:
• Significantly more compact and lightweight
• Much easier to travel with (fits easily in carry-on luggage)
• Less drag and buoyancy issues underwater - feels more natural in your hands
• Great balance between performance and practicality
Most users who shoot fully submerged scenes or do a lot of travel end up preferring the 6” dome because it makes the whole setup more enjoyable and less tiring. 🐠

Real-World Performance: 8” Dome
The 8” dome shines when you want that extra level of optical performance. It provides noticeably better corner and edge sharpness, especially with rectilinear wide-angle lenses (such as 10-18mm, 14-30mm, or 16-35mm). The improvement is most visible in large prints or when viewing images at 100% on screen.
It also makes over/under (split-level) shots much easier and cleaner. The larger dome gives you more room to position the waterline perfectly, resulting in a sharper transition between the underwater and above-water parts of the frame. 🌊

When the 8” dome makes the biggest difference:
• You regularly shoot split shots (half in, half out of the water)
• You want maximum edge-to-edge sharpness with rectilinear lenses
• You don’t mind carrying a bit more gear and prefer the absolute best optical results

Which One Should You Choose?
For most Salted Line users the 6” dome is the sweet spot. It gives outstanding results in 80-90 % of real diving and surfing situations while keeping your housing compact, travel-friendly, and easy to handle.
Go for the 8” dome if split shots are an important part of your style or if you’re chasing the highest possible sharpness in the corners of the frame.
The good news? Both Domes are built to the same high standards and work perfectly with every Salted Line waterproof camera housing. The choice really comes down to your shooting style and how you like to travel. ✅
