This Bonica Underwater JVC550-PRO Kit is built around the JVC GZ-HM550 Camcorder. The kit includes everything you need to capture the world underwater in both video and stills. When your camcorder is inside the JVC WR-MG270 Underwater Housing you will be able to safely take it underwater down to 130'. You will be able to access all of your camcorder controls through the housing.

When you are underwater, salt water becomes one big blue filter, and fresh water becomes a green filter. In order to bring out the true colors we need to correct this color cast. For natural light imaging you could use the included salt or fresh water filter. Another way to correct the color is to bring a white light close to your subject. The included dual Bonica G8V15 LED Video Lights are perfect for this purpose. Using 2 lights allows you to cover a bigger area and allows you to create studio type lighting underwater. Also included are the Bonica Tray and Handle, Add-on Handle, and 2 Ball Joint Sets. This is all the hardware you need to attach your 2 LED lights to the housing and to position them where you need them.

One of the most important rules of underwater imaging is to be as close to your subject as possible. By removing as much water as possible between you and your subject you will increase image quality. This is why for big subjects wide angle lenses are so important. The included Bonica Wide-Angle Conversion Lens attaches to the housing with the included adapter ring. The lens can be removed underwater in order to shoot small creatures. The included lens holder allows you to store the lens on the light handle while you are shooting your small subjects. All of this gear fits into the included Bonica Soft Camera Travel Bag. This way you are ready to dive into your next adventure.
