Product: New AquaCam HDX Series Underwater Video Housings
Prices: $349 Basic AquaCam HDX, $449 Mechanical AquaCam HDX, $599 Electronic AquaCam HDXAquatix International announces the New AquaCam HDX Series of underwater video housings for camcorders. The 2011 HDX Series retains all of the rugged features of the prior EX Series housings, plus they are smaller in size and LCD viewing ability is optimized for small High-Definition (HD) camcorders, including Standard-Definition (SD) camcorders as well. The new Camera Tray is elevated for improved LCD viewing and can be configured lower for larger/taller camcorders, and used with an optional secondary LCD monitor, if desired. Other enduring features of the rugged AquaCam HDX Series include a reliable single-seal (X-Ring Seal) design with no hardware penetrations through the housing, visual seal compression inspection and verification, a velcro ballast holder that accepts standard 2-4 lb dive weights, adjustable foam-grip handles, security locks on all latches, and front and rear flat ports with guards.
The AquaCam HDX 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 current and older camcorders. Control options include a full-function electronic control system for all camcorders equipped with a A/V-Remote or 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.
Factory-direct prices start at $349 for a Basic AquaCam HDX (with no controls), $449 for a Mechanical AquaCam HDX, and $599 for an Electronic AquaCam HDX. Complete product information is available at www.aquatix.com or by calling Aquatix International at 1-314-359-3641.
