Does anyone know what size of Allen key I have to use to mount the tiny rubber wheel inside of my Aquatica housing for my Canon 5D that is for the power on/off? It fell off a couple of days ago.
Please see attached image.

Just pick up a set of small size allen wrenches then you're covered for most housing fasteners. Like 1.5mm to 6mm. Not sure what size for this one application but there's usually several controls & stuff on housing that require allens.

I have those sizes but the 1,5 mm is still too large. I donīt think Aquatica use mm, I guess itīs inches. I canīt find any smaller size than 1.5 mm here in Sweden. If I get the right size, itīs easier to order over the internet. Aquatica should have a service kit, but I contacted them a few weeks ago and thereīs still no answer from them.

Aquatica is manufactured in Canada. I suggest that the part is metric. Try contacting Aquatica or a dealer: Aquatica Site.

This is what service is all about, I had the same response from Aquatica with a dome lock for my housing. Great! smile.gif
