Universal, Rugged, Versatile, and Affordable!


 

 

Universal - The universal AquaCam EX video housings will accept virtually all current camcorders and most older camcorders up to a maximum size of 4.6+ inches (117mm) high, 4.8 inches (122mm) wide, and 9 inches (229mm) long. For small camcorders, shorter housing lengths are provided according to your total camcorder length and selected controls. For larger camcorders and custom sizing, go to Custom Video Housings. AquaCam EX Control Options (Electronic, Mechanical, and Basic) are detailed below in fourth paragraph.

Rugged - The AquaCam EX is a rugged, EXpedition-grade video housing that will allow you to shoot videos under the deep pressures of scuba diving and the pounding hydraulic forces of whitewater kayaking! It is depth-rated to 200 feet (61m) and is constructed with a heavy-duty 0.5-inch (12mm) thick plastic shell, two 0.5-inch thick optical-grade cast acrylic ports (front and rear), and stainless steel hardware. The cylindrical shape of the AquaCam EX provides greater strength under pressure and more underwater stability than any other shape can provide. Our Single-Seal design requires only One X-Ring Seal because the rear port is permanently bonded and sealed. This doubles the reliability of the AquaCam EX over many other video housings which require seals for both the front and rear ports. In addition, there are No hardware penetrations through the shell, making the AquaCam EX even more reliable.

Versatile - The versatile AquaCam EX video housing is designed for scuba diving and is engineered to also meet the demands of whitewater kayaking, canoeing and other watersports. Mount it to your kayak and shoot some extraordinary whitewater videos! With Universal Camcorder Acceptance, the AquaCam EX will accept many substitute camcorders and will adapt to future camcorder purchases, providing you with a lifetime of underwater video capability.

AquaCam EX Control Options
Electronic (shown above/top) - Electronic Control System with penetration-free magnetic switching, providing record start/stop, zoom wide/telephoto, and power on/off for all camcorders equipped with a LANC or Remote jack (A/V-Remote jack on many newer Sony models).
AquaCam EX Underwater Video Housing
Mechanical (shown right) - User-adjustable Mechanical Control system that provides record start/stop control on ALL camcorders. Also provides power-on control (from record button) for many Sony camcorders after they power-down (auto-off).
Basic (No Controls) - Offers Basic, simple watertight video capability -- just shoot everything in wide-angle and edit it at home on your computer!
Add Controls Later - If you aren't sure about what controls you need, start with a Basic AquaCam EX and later add the controls according to your actual needs. Adding the Mechanical control is $100 (installed). Adding Electronic controls is $300 (installed).
