Just got an underwater housing for industrial work back from CNC and anodizing.
The housing is made from a 6061 aluminium block. Clean surface, no knobs.
This housing is made for remote control of the camera, in the sea, rivers or lakes. Or any tough work.
Space inside the housing for BEC for power, and plugs for HDMI and LANC.
A new underwater housing for the 3 new Sony videocameras are in testing right now. This is a tough housing ribbed for knobs and dents, ment for remote control, like LANC or IR. The housing is CNC milled from 6061 aluminium, and both ports are 3 o-ring seal. This housing will be rated for 100m, and that is due to the acrylic port. I will produce a few for sale. Prize not yet determined. If this housing is of interest, send me an email.
