Custom AquaCam EX Video Housings
Custom AquaCam EX Video Housings are available for larger camcorders such as the Canon GL1/GL2 (XM1/XM2), small motion picture cameras such as the Ikonoskop 16mm A-Cam, or for any other special size requirements and applications.
For a Custom AquaCam EX Video Housing, you specify the Interior Length and choose one of the two interior shell diameters - the Standard 5 11/16 inch (144mm) ID shell or a Large 6-inch (152mm) ID shell. The Large ID shell provides at least 7/16 inch (11mm) of additional headroom, which is needed for larger camcorders such as the Canon GL1/GL2, etc. Please note that the Large 6-inch ID shell has a 0.28 inch (7.1mm) wall thickness and is depth-rated to 130 feet (40m), while the Standard 5 11/16 inch ID shell has a 0.47 inch (12mm) wall thickness and is depth-rated to 200 feet (61m).
Larger camcorders that measure up to 6 inches (152mm) diagonally in height and width should fit in the Large 6-inch ID shell (see Figure 1). To determine if your camcorder will fit, draw a front-view (actual size) sketch of the 6-inch ID shell. Simply draw a circle (with compass) 6 inches (152mm) in diameter. Then, draw a horizontal line 5 7/16 inches (138mm) down from the top of the circle (see Figure 2). This line represents the top of the camera tray. Cut out the area along the line and around the top of the circle. See if your camcorder will fit through the cut-out area, with the bottom of your camcorder on the camera tray line. Note: the camera tray can be mounted lower in the housing (or removed) to provide more headroom. After choosing a shell ID, you must then determine the interior length that you require for your camera and any related attachments, such as lenses, filters, monitors, etc., and add at least 0.5-1.0 inch (20mm) of free space.
Camcorders that measure up to about 4.6+ inches (117mm) in height should fit in the Standard 5 11/16 ID shell - refer to Camcorder Compatibility page to better determine fit. After choosing a shell ID, you must then determine the interior length that you require for your camera and any related attachments, such as lenses, filters, monitors, etc., and add at least 0.5-1.0 inch (20mm) of free space. If the total length you require is between 5 and 9 inches (127 - 229mm), you should seriously consider a Production AquaCam EX Video Housing instead of a Custom Housing. It is good to have some extra length in your housing, and a tight fit is generally not recommended.
In some cases, it may be necessary for you to send us your camcorder for proper fitting and adjustment.
