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-110a high-performance strobe that is designed to be compatible with most cameras. The automatic pre-flash function will adjust for most digital or film cameras. The YS-110a has a 12-step control dial for precision manual manipulation of light output. The large dial is easy to handle, even when wearing heavy gloves. When used with the DX-1G, the strobe fires with the fiber optic cable. If you upgrade to an SLR housing with hot shoe, the strobe will fire with a 5-pin Nikonos sync cord. The strobe features a bright LED target light, recycle time of 1.9 seconds at full power and a guide number of 22 (ISO 100/m). This strobe will easily help produce stunning underwater photographs.
The Sea Arm VII with tray is also included. The Sea Arm VII is constructed of fiberglass-reinforced plastic resin offering a lightweight yet strong arm. With the included components, you can create a custom arm setup for your lighting needs. This kit includes everything you need to nurture your creativity and allow expansion of your underwater photography skills.
