This Equinox HD6 mechanical underwater housing is designed for the Sony HDR-HC9, HDR-HC7 and HDR-HC5 camcorders. The corrosion-resistant housing is constructed from rugged and durable PVC with 1" cast acrylic face plates and stainless-steel hardware; it is rated to a depth of up to 250'.

Features include 5 manual controls: power/standby, record-start/stop, zoom, photo, and memory switch. The housing includes a blue water color-correcting filter, and a wide-angle lens. The housing also features the Ballast Release System. For easy travel, or if trouble occurs on a dive, simply pull the quick-release pin on the wings in order to release the wings and handle (ballast), the housing now becomes positive and shoots to the surface. The camcorder monitor will open approximately 45° in the housing. For full use of the camcorder monitor, the Equinox 2.5" LCD 6" Monitor Back w/ RCA Female Plug (available separately) is required.

    i've only used the housing in my pool but it rocks.
    i really like the fact that you can have a wide angle lens on the camera
    within the housing.

    very well made and a great warranty.
