Thanks for the video - it was helpful. I picked up the MF-2 and am using it in conjunction with the OS-1. Snooting seems less complex with this setup than with the other snoot systems I’ve seen.
Jeremy glad to hear it was useful for you. I found the system quite easy to use after a couple of dives and it allows you to create different types of lighting and images in a small package. Good luck with your photography.
Hi @breic. I do take it off sometimes. I carry a small mesh bag attached to my BCD that it can fit into. You can also carry other things in the bag such as the small light modifiers. There's a lanyard that I attach to the arm clamp holding the snoot. You can also attach the light modifiers to the snoot using rubber bands.
hi, i have mf2 + snoot but too heavy for ball arm so i would like a more compact and stronger system what is size of your single central arm ? is it enough for all light position you need for macro? (for me it's essentially for thinny nudibranch research as iam close from subject difficult to place the light sometimes)
Hi I use the Ultralight ball arm sections. My central one is the 8 inch size. This can get into pretty much any macro position I've tried for close work, but it's probably not going to work for things close to infinity since they will be distant from the port. My macro lens is the Nikon 105mm and I also use close up adapters for super macro shots.
Very thoughtful, well explained video, Jon. Thanks for posting - I learned a LOT!
Hi James, Thanks for watching and I'm glad it was helpful. Jon B
Great video, very helpful!

Thank you. Do you ever take the snoot off? I'm curious how it is secured. (It looks like you might have a short lanyard tied to it?)
