Sea & Sea DX-1200HD Underwater Digital Camera Islander Kit

The Sea & Sea DX-1200HD Pro Kit features the DX-1200HD camera. This is actually a kit that includes a Sea & Sea housing that is rated to a depth of 147' (45 m), along with the Sea & Sea DX-1200HD camera. The camera is well suited to shoot digital stills and HD video underwater. Of course, the camera is also ideal for snorkeling, surfing, skiing, fishing, sailing, or even certain industrial situations.

The camera features a large 3" LCD screen. This makes framing underwater easy and fun. Since the camera has exposure compensation functions, you have some control balancing the available light to strobe light. These features along with macro capability of 3.9" make the DX-1200HD a good choice for underwater imaging, at a reasonable price.

The kit includes one Sea & Sea YS-27DX strobe designed specifically for digital cameras. It synchronizes with the included fiber optic cord for a flood free connection. Lightweight and compact, this is the perfect strobe for the Sea & Sea DX-1200HD and other small camera systems. The fiber optic cable transmits light from the camera's built in flash to the slave sensor on the strobe. This full featured strobe offers exposure control with a 9 step manual control dial. All you need to do is set your aperture to match the number on the control. If your images are a little too light or dark just dial the power up or down.

The Sea Arm Light with built in tray is also included. The sea arm is constructed of fiber glass with fortified nylon. This makes it rigid to keep the strobe in the right position. It is very light and compact. The arm has a rubber grip that provides a comfortable handhold. The arm is made up of two 5.1" sections.

The included Sea & Sea Wide Angle Conversion Lens will increase the field of view to a 20mm lens on a 35mm camera. This allows you to get closer to large subjects. When you are closer to your subject, there is less water between your lens and subject; this increases contrast and color saturation. This lens can be added or removed underwater. This kit includes everything you need to nurture your creativity and allow expansion of your underwater photography skills.
