ULTRAMAX UXDV-3-DIVE Overview

The UXDV-3-DIVE HD 720p Digital Video Camera and Underwater Housing Package from ULTRAMAX bundles their UXDV-3 HD Digital Video Camera with its compatible waterproof enclosure, the UXDV-3 Underwater Video Camera Housing. Enjoy the ability to shoot beneath the surface at a maximum depth of 180'.

The UXDV-3 HD Digital Video Camera features a 5MP, 1/2.5" CMOS image sensor that delivers 1280 x 720p HD video at up to 30 fps. It can switch modes at the touch of a button to capture still images at resolutions of 5MP or 2MP, or a higher 8, 12, or 16MP by interpolation. It has a 5x optical zoom lens with a 35mm- equivalent focal length range of 40.8-204mm and auto and manual focus selection. The camera records images to its 32MB internal memory or to SD/SDHC or MMC memory cards up to 32GB in capacity. It also has a 3.0" TFT LCD monitor with 270° rotation. A built-in flash aids in still shooting in low-light conditions. The camera also has image stabilization to reduce the effects of camera shake for clear, blur-free shots. The HDMI output and included cables enable you to view your HD videos on an HDTV. Additionally, the included lithium-ion battery provides approximately 1 hr of continuous recording time and is recharged by the supplied AC adapter. A USB cable is also provided.

The yellow/clear UXDV-3 Underwater Video Camera Housing is constructed from corrosion-resistant polycarbonate and has a built-in, 3.0mm-thick tempered glass lens port. This port has a flat front element and a 46mm threaded ring for the attachment of an optional wide-angle conversion lens or color-correction filter. Clearly-marked buttons offer full control of the camera's functions. The housing also features a mirrored panel that flips out to display a reflected image of the camera's monitor. The housing permits the use of the camera's built-in flash, and you can use this to fire an optional, external wireless slave strobe. You can also purchase the optional # UXDS-FOC Fiber-Optic Cable Kit to trigger a strobe that way. An adjustable, touch-fastened hand strap with neoprene-wrapped padding is supplied.

Camera
Resolution
A 5MP, 1/2.5" CMOS image sensor records 1280 x 720p HD video at up to 30 fps. Switch modes at the touch of a button to capture still images at resolutions of 5MP or 2MP, or a higher 8, 12, or 16MP by interpolation.
Lens
Features a 5x optical zoom lens with auto and manual focus and a 35mm-equivalent focal length range of 40.8-204mm.
Display
Equipped with a 3.0" TFT LCD monitor with 270° rotation.
Night Mode
Allows you to take a photograph with a dark background. Since the shutter speed will slow down when taking photographs in a dark place, the use of tripod is recommended to eliminate blur from shaking hands. The stabilizer function is disabled when NightShot is enabled.
Macro
For capturing extreme close-up pictures. Focus as close as 0.4" from your subject.
Flash
A built-in flash with auto and force modes aids in still shooting in low-light conditions.
Memory
Records images to its 32MB internal memory or to SD/SDHC or MMC memory cards up to 32GB in capacity.
Playback
Slide show of stills or videos
Auto Off
Set the length of the period of inactivity after which the camera will automatically shut down. You can select 1, 3 or 5min, or turn the feature off.
Power
Included lithium-ion battery provides approximately 1 hr of continuous recording time or 2 hr of operation in standby mode, and is recharged by the supplied AC adapter.
Connectivity
HDMI output and included cables enable you to view your HD videos on an HDTV. There's also a Composite AV-out (NTSC / PAL) connector. Additionally, the camera features a USB 2.0 port and a USB cable is provided.
Underwater Housing
Waterproofing
Safe to use at a maximum depth of 180'. The Z-LOCK latch system with safety lock and the lens port shroud with seal ensure that the housing remains secure against water ingress.
Controls and Operation
Access to all camera functions is provided by the clearly-marked buttons on the housing. There's also a mirrored panel that flips out to display a reflected image of the camera's monitor. The camera's installed Diving Mode program flips the image on the monitor so that when it is reflected off the viewing panel, it appears normal and not as a flipped mirror image.
Construction Details
Built for durability, the housing's body is made from corrosion-resistant polycarbonate, and its flat, built-in lens port is crafted from 3.0mm-thick tempered glass.
Flash Use
Housing permits the use of the camera's built-in flash, which can trigger an optional, external wireless slave strobe or a wired strobe connected via the optional # UXDS-FOC Fiber Optic Cable Kit.
Conversion Lens and Filter Attachment
The lens port's 46mm threaded ring allows for the attachment of an optional wide-angle conversion lens or color-correction filter with the same thread diameter.
Accessories
An adjustable, touch-fastened hand strap with neoprene-wrapped padding is supplied.

New World

By Peter
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2019-12-07

This product is a new toy for me. I have a few cameras but nothing like this. I found it much more easy to handle with a mini mondo stick while only useing the wrist lanyard. Useing the zoom feature, movie and photo buttons were easy but to read info on the screen , with goggles on, was impossible, so it was a case of set and forget. The camera took good photos and movies but I would only use it in this houseing for underwater use. The down side is the houseing needs “sights” to lineup subjects,and the filming light needs to be brighter or bigger or maybe a different colour so it is easier to see .I got about an hour of use from the battery which is OK seeing the camera is continually on and working the zoom. All up, it is a very good unit snorkeling and shallow diving. With more practice this unit will shine in a new world.

question

What is the best resolution to set for underwater video?
Asked by: Anonymous
Just like on land it is best to set the camera at the highest resolution. You could always lower the resolution in the computer. You cannot increase it.
