Product: The Aqua~Cam™: Universal AquaticSports Camcorder Housing
Prices: (US: factory-direct) $359 Basic, $459 Mechanical, and $659 ElectronicAquatix International introduces the new Aqua~Cam™ product line for the new millennium. The new Aqua~Cam boasts the same great features and prices as its predecessor (the AquatiCam) plus some additional new features which include closed-cell foam grips on the handles, optional fingertip electronic controls (accessible from handle), and added camcorder shock-mounting.
The Aqua~Cam is a rugged camcorder housing that provides the ability to shoot extreme sports' videos in extreme aquatic environments - from the deep pressures of scuba diving to the pounding hydraulic forces of whitewater kayaking! The key features of the Aqua~Cam™ include universal camcorder acceptance for all formats, extra-rugged construction, state-of-the-art mechanical and electronic controls (optional), a depth rating to 200 feet, kayak/watercraft mounting capability, and affordable pricing through efficient design and manufacturing.
The Aqua~Cam accepts virtually any small Digital, Hi8, 8mm, and VHS-C camcorder up to 4.6+ inches high, 4.8 inches wide, and 11 inches long. Custom housings are now available for slightly larger camcorders. Control options include: a full-function Electronic control system for all camcorders equipped with a LANC (Control-L) jack; a universal, user-adjustable Mechanical control that works the record start/stop button on any camcorder; or No controls for basic watertight video capability.
Standard features of the Aqua~Cam include a Single-Seal (x-ring) design with no hardware penetrations through the shell, visual seal inspection/verification, video monitor acceptance at the rear port, a velcro ballast holder that uses a standard 6-8 lb dive weight, adjustable foam-grip handles, security locks on all latches, front and rear flat ports with guards, and a one-year limited warranty. Prices start at $359 for a Basic housing with no controls, $459 for a Mechanical housing, and $659 for an Electronic housing.
