Adjustable grip set
(option)
Even without a grip attached to the housing, with these two holes it is possible to attach a compact strobe, a video light or a mixture of both. (Option for the M10 ball joint) And if you do have a grip attached, it’s a breeze to connect four light sources.
Slant Cover
Works with the NEX Tilt Monitor.
While underwater the user can arbitrarily change the monitor angle from 0 °C to 45 °C. When looking up in the water, use the 0 °Csetting; when shooting downwards, change to the 45 °Csetting.
Double-sealed opening
The opening for inserting and removing the camera is the area most susceptible to water leakage. Our double seal reduces the probability of a leak. Regular maintenance assures you of even more worry-free photography.
Comes in 16 colors
Stock Colors: Matt Black (The Alumite coating, a compound developed in the aerospace program, gives the housing body superior hardness and resistance to heat.)
Color options (After the order, you wait two weeks.):
Black, Violet, Turquoise, Champagne, Blue, Gray, Red, Bronze, Green, Bright Yellow, Silver, Gold, Orange, Pink, Light Green
Extension Key
(PlayBack Button)
The extension key allows you to turn the review function on only when you want to review your shots, and is in an easily reached position to push.
It is a PlayBack button and has received wide acclaim.
Controls are sealed by two sliding O-rings.
We have used two sliding O-rings to seal push buttons, focus Knobs, star-dials, etc. (excluding the strobe window and the port.)
The shaft has a polished finish.
Beginning with the first model ever sold, the APSG-DP2, ACQUAPAZZA has polished finishing all their shafts.
φ8mm push buttons
Pushing a button of φ6mm while underwater can cause pain to your fingers so we have enlarged the buttons. We have also moved the buttons farther apart.
Those buttons that were too close together to maintain the layout have been moved slightly.
M14/M16 Accessory Ports
There are two accessory ports in the housing. The M14 ports allow communication between the camera and the strobes. (Bulkhead connectors sold separately.) The ports on the M16 also allow connection of an exterior monitor. (You will need an L-shaped HDMI sync cord, an exterior monitor (from SHOGUN), and an underwater housing for the monitor, also from SHOGUN. Available from other companies at separate cost.)
Tripod Screw
To be able to use a tripod underwater, there are three places to insert a tripod screw.
This is very handy for static shooting or for moving pictures.
Monitor Hood Rail
The hood is fully capable of shading a monitor when the sea is bright, and can be removed with just a touch when it is not needed. It also has a magnifying effect and is very popular with those who have trouble discerning small objects on the monitor screen.
(Can be attached to the PT-EPO1 by UN, Inc.)
AF/MF/AEL/ON
We have placed a lever behind the shutter release in order to make turning manual focus on and off easier.
Installation Holes for the M10
Even without a grip attached to the housing, with these two holes it is possible to attach a compact strobe, a video light or a mixture of both. (Option for the M10 ball joint) And if you do have a grip attached, it’s a breeze to connect four light sources.
Mounting base that supports
Can be attached to 5 types of adapters. : Shoe base adapter X-2, Multi-direct base, Direct base, T slide base, Ball joint base M10.
Sync Cord Adaptor
The sync cord comes out of the top center of the housing, meaning that it will not interfere with a dome port of a short length port.
You can use a double sync cord from SEA&SEA and if you add a two-hole bushing from INON you are able to attach four strobes.
(When shooting with a strobe, you will need an exterior HVL-F20M from Sony.)
