Capture brilliant photos and HD video of pygmy seahorses, sharks, and coral reefs at depths as great as 295', or 426' with an upgrade, thanks to Aquatica's AD300s Underwater Housing for your Nikon D300s DSLR. Mechanical controls provide easy access to virtually every single camera function, and dual ergonomic grip handles afford optimal handling and comfort. For convenience, vital functions can be accessed while keeping your hands on the grips.
The housing is made of aluminum, which has been anodized to military specifications to ensure superior corrosion resistance and then covered in a layer of weather and wear-resistant paint for even greater durability. The D300S ships without a required lens port, though various interchangeable bayonet-mount ports are available for wide-angle, macro, and zoom lenses. For full compatibility, see Port Chart and System Chart.
The housing has an Ikelite manual connector for the attachment of optional external strobes via sync cords. The standard eyepiece offers a full view of the camera's optical viewfinder, and the optional, coated Aqua View Finder offers an enlarged, enhanced view with 100% coverage, corner-to-corner sharpness, and dioptric adjustment.
