The Aquatica Underwater Housing with Double Nikonos Bulkheads can get you in the water with your Nikon D3 right away. It features Aquatica's Aqua View Finder, which employs a high-quality coated glass element to deliver a bright, crisp image of the camera viewfinder, a design that allows for quick removal for storage and transportation, a body of anodized aluminum, and exposed glass made of corrosion-resistant material. The viewing area is 100% of the actual DSLR finder, with easy diopter adjustments, and LCD information in the camera's viewfinder is readily available when shooting.
The housing is machined from a solid block of lightweight military-grade anodized aluminum that's been finished with a tough weather- and wear-resistant powder coating, and it's rated to 300' (90 m). It features dual bulkhead connectors for operating two manually controlled strobes. The housing provides easy access to all photography functions, and it has the same mounting bayonet that accepts existing Aquatica accessories and ports, including the Megadome and the remote control cord (available separately).
Note: Requires a Lens port
Also Note: Most zoom lenses require a close-up diopter filter to correct focus distance.
- Bayonet Port
- A positive four-point bayonet mounting and locking mechanism leaves no doubt that your ports are securely in place and watertight. The bayonet system dome, macro ports and extension rings offer the fastest and most comprehensive access to the lenses for rapid lens changing without having to remove the camera from the housing. This housing allows use of lenses from a 10mm/180° fisheye lens to a 200mm macro lens. Tele-converter port extensions are also available separately.
- Port Locking Mechanism
- A new port locking mechanism is integrated in the Aquatica D3 housing; this lock is accessible from the exterior of the housing making port changing a breeze
- Menus
- Buttons have been angled 20° and extended when needed for better ergonomics--knobs are now grooved and knurled for optimum operation even when wearing thick gloves
