The FD-80 housing and the D-80 camera offer an excellent combination
of advanced underwater digital photography at an affordable price.
The FD-80’s interchangeable port system accommodates a wide
variety of SLR lenses, allowing photographers to capture the widest
variety of superior underwater images.
The FD-80 housing system lets photographers capture the widest
variety of superior underwater images and provides the opportunity
to use the exact lenses for the best circumstances, including a
choice of macro, wide angle, fisheye, and zoom lenses. The FD-80
is easy and instinctive to use and handle.
The Fantasea FD-80 is more than just an underwater camera housing
since it provides protection for the D-80 against damage from rain,
snow, dust, sand and dirt. It is a valuable tool for many commercial,
industrial, and medical applications, because it is resistant to
most liquids and sprays.
The FD-80 housing is rated to a depth of 200 feet (60m). The main
seal between front and back halves is a radial o-ring. The lens
port attaches with a double o-ring seal for double protection.
The camera “slides” into the FD-80 housing on a specially
designed tray. Once inside the housing the stainless steel latching
buckles on the back door are snapped shut, sealing the system with
a sound watertight seal. The housing controls are made from stainless
steel shafts and springs and are sealed by double O-rings. The
control knobs and buttons are made of sturdy molded polycarbonate.
The FD-80 flash sync port is a five-pin Nikonos type system which
allows for full TTL coverage especially when using the Fantasea
FSB800 Flash housing for the Nikon SB 800 Flash.
