This Light & Motion Stingray III Sport Universal electronic underwater housing is for a wide variety of compact camcorders. It is the perfect video housing for the first timer just getting his feet wet. The housing is constructed from industrial grade aluminum, machined and anodized with a depth rating of 150'. Important camera functions are accessed by electromagnetic controls on the housing body. This prevents the need for mechanical controls to penetrate the housing, greatly decreasing the chance of a flood.
The housing features many important controls including record/stand-by, zoom, auto focus override, momentary auto focus, focus and photo. Camcorders that have Control L (Lanc) and have a max dimension with the battery of length 5.5" (139.70mm), height 4.875" (123.82mm) and width 3.5" (88.9mm) will work in this housing.
The kit includes the Light & Motion Sunray-S Mini Sport Classic lighting kit. The battery pods are a sleek low profile slim design that integrates neatly beneath the housing. You can choose from one of three light levels by simply toggling the power switch at the base of the pod. Is the anemone you are shooting a little blown out? Rather than adjust your light head, simply toggle down to the desired light output level.
Lights are extremely important for your underwater imaging system. The ocean is one big, blue filter. As you descend, the reds and oranges quickly become muted shades of blue and gray. Shining a color corrected light source on your subject will bring back your subjects natural color.
