Aquatix
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, expedition-grade 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 8mm, Hi8, VHS-C, and
Digital 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. For more information, contact Aquatix
International at sales@aquatix.com or visit

Aquatix
International introduces the AquaCam EX "Expedition"
series of universal underwater video housings for
camcorders. New features for the AquaCam EX include a
pressure-regulated quad-ring seal that increases sealing
pressure with depth, a removable electronic controller
that can be disconnected from the housing and used as an
independent remote camera control, and low-profile
snag-resistant latches. Other improvements include larger
foam-grip handles, fingertip-accessible electronic
controls, and camcorder shock-mounting.
The AquaCam EX
is a rugged, expedition-grade video housing for scuba
diving, snorkeling, kayaking, and other water sports. It
is depth-rated to 200 feet and universally accepts most
Digital, Hi8, 8mm, and VHS-C camcorders. Control options
include a full-function electronic control system for all
camcorders equipped with a LANC jack, a universal
mechanical control system that manipulates the record
start/stop button on most camcorders, or no controls for
basic watertight video capability -- ideal for those who
prefer the simplicity of shooting lots of video and
editing later.
Other standard
features of the AquaCam EX include a single quad-ring
seal design with no hardware penetrations through the
shell, visual seal inspection/verification, video monitor
acceptance at the rear port, a velcro ballast holder that
accepts standard dive weights, adjustable foam-grip
handles, security locks on all latches, front and rear
flat ports with guards, and a one-year warranty.
Factory-direct prices start at $359 for a Basic AquaCam
EX with no controls, $459 for a Mechanical AquaCam EX,
and $659 for an Electronic AquaCam EX. Complete product
information is available on the internet at
www.aquatix.com or by calling Aquatix International at
