Molded of clear polycarbonate to provide seamless construction
and corrosion proof performance. This “Clearly Superior” design
provides full view of the camcorder, control functions, and back
o’ring seal for assurance the system is safe.
The Sony HDR HC-7 and housing are so small they are an absolute
delight to use. A complete housing and camera combination weighs
approximately 4kg (9 pounds). Housing has a working depth of
60m (200’)
The housing with base and handles measures 27cm (11") width;
20cm (8") height; 20cm (8") length. Sony NP-FH50, FH60,
FH70 and FH100 batteries are accommodated.
The housing port is threaded allowing the use of optional 67mm
threaded wide-angle conversion lens available from Inon, Epoque,
or the #6420 Ikelite lens.
The Base removes instantly with a unique toggle clamp for traveling
or attaching of the optional Pro Video-Lite 3 battery pack. The
handle assembly detaches from the housing by removal of just
two nuts for packing.
The camera’s LCD monitor can be viewed from the rear of
the housing, using the External Mirror featured on the side of
the housing. Open the camera’s LCD monitor, rotate 180
degrees, and then press it back against the side of the camera
before installation. The external mirror is hinged so that it
can be opened to reflect the image from the camera’s LCD
monitor.
This housing includes (IRC) Image Reversing Circuitry.
The circuit reverses (flips) the image and text on the LCD screen
so that when the image is reflected in the External Mirror, it
appears correct left-to-right.
Controls for the Camera Control Dial/Manual Button and the LCD
Screen Toucn Pad provide full access to setting white balance
and white balance shift.
Included UR/Pro Color Filter provides color correction in tropical
blue water. An optional filter #6441.81 is also available to
achieve more natural tones in green water settings. |
