    The INON 「Grip Base M1」 is usable. The Grip Base M1 is specifically designed for midsize underwater housing for micro four thirds digital SLR. Firmly attached on a housing with two tripod screws and base legs provide stable placement of combined housing. Wide variety of INON adapters/bases is compatible with the Grip Base M1 and easy to set-up multiple lighting system with dual strobe configuration by attaching extra「D Holder」. The INON 「Shoe Base」 is directly attached on the accessory-shoe of the underwater housing to set up compact system.

    (*4)
    When attaching strobe/LED flashlight only on the underwater housing hot-shoe via 「Shoe Base」,
    camera system will have positive buoyancy at 10g/0.4oz. So using optional balance weight from camera manufacture would be recommended to get negative buoyancy for the sake of safety.

    (*5)
    The 「D Holder」 of the 「Grip Base D4」 is for left side use only.  When attaching on the right hand side of the housing, the D Holder part may be touched on the back of your right hand.
