Light & Motion Bluefin UW Housing f Sony HDR-HC9, HDR-HC7, HDR-HC5

This Light & Motion Bluefin electronic underwater housing is for the Sony HDR-HC9, HDR-HC7 and HDR-HC5 high-definition camcorders. The housing is constructed from machined and anodized industrial-grade aluminum, and has a depth rating of 330'. All primary camera controls are accessed by infrared through the housing body. This prevents the need for mechanical controls to penetrate the housing, greatly decreasing the chance of a flood.

The housing has advanced features laid out in a compact, easy-to-use design. It allows the user to access one-touch manual white balance, aperture/ shutter speed control, tele-macro mode and smooth slow motion. The Smart Grip Handles provide access to VTR playback for instant footage review. Smart Grips are switchable left to right, giving you redundant control. This gives you the option of shooting right- or left-handed. Also included is an underwater microphone and flip-down color correction filter that provides easy transitions between ambient and artificial light.

The Bluefin housing comes with the zoom macro port that has a 65° viewing angle while still providing macro ability for close-up shots. This is the best choice to capture shrimps, nudibranchs and other small sea creatures.

The housing also features a monitor back with a large 3.5" color active matrix LCD display. This makes framing, focus and other settings easy to see even in bright sunlight. The monitor is powered by the integrated NiMh battery pack that gives you six hours to capture your underwater video.
