Item Description

Underwater Housing for the SONY WAVE CX560 / 700CX 

Value: $2595

Aquatica Digital has been providing for both the recreational and professional diver high quality underwater photographic systems for over 30 years. Given their tremendous expertise in designing & manufacturing underwater photographic equipment, they are proud to announce the new HD-WAVE supporting the new Sony HDR CX560/700 HD camcorders. With the well received introduction to the first HD video housing from Aquatica, the HD-WAVE continues its surf to another level, A new super compact housing concept, weighing in at only 6 lbs it’s our smallest and lightest aluminum housing ever, great for easy travel.

Built with the same high quality solid aluminum construction as their digital SLR housings, no compromise was taken to create the New “HD WAVE” Video Housing. Keeping in mind total ergonomics and underwater balance, its compact design with intergraded Stable-Wide® grip system makes the unit extremely user friendly underwater. Our engineers worked very hard on its design, they have now incorporated the use of the Sony remote commander which now allows easy and complete access to all key camcorder functions, including the critical Manual White balance function; it will give users the ability to create the best possible HD video underwater. Now the user will have a complete 30° viewing angle on the large 3’’ side LCD viewfinder without any touch screen push button obstruction, this finally will account for optimal filming capabilities.
