Ewa-Marine Underwater Camera Housing U-AX f/ AF SLR Cameras with a Top Mounted Flash - E133

The Ewa-Marine Underwater Camera Housing U-AX can be used with your AF SLR cameras with a top mounted flash while on small boats, in the surf and while swimming, snorkeling or diving. As the camera and its various components can be operated through the plastic, cameras are operated normally and the use of an ewa-marine housing is easily adapted to the needs of the camera operator.

The U-AX is designed to fit nearly all popular SLR cameras on the market today, no matter the manufacturer or model. With this housing, a whole new world of applications opens up for your standard SLR camera: While safe inside the housing you can take your camera canoeing, snorkeling or even diving up to a depth of 60 ft (20m).

When the optional BF1 lead weight (sold separately) is inserted into the housing beneath the camera, it becomes even easier to reach the Underwater Camera Housing U-AX's maximum depth. Experienced photographers have confirmed that the auto focus and flash both continue to operate perfectly. As you descend, the air is pressed into the camera. Due to this, the pressure inside the housing will remain the same as the surrounding water pressure. This is the reason why ewa-marine housings are so safe to use, as implosions are impossible. Due to this, we have to start the dive with a suitable amount of air inside the housing. The foam pads supplied with the housing are part of this air "reservoir" and additional air should also be blown into the housing, via the valve at the rear, to ensure that the maximum potential volume is being utilized.

Designed specifically for 35mm SLR cameras, the U-AX housing is manufactured from double laminated PVC and has an integrated, optically neutral flat glass port. The external flash that is commonly used on SLR cameras fits into the specially designed section on the top of the housing.

The Underwater Camera Housing U-AX has a pair of non-corrosive and seawater resistant clamping rails which fit together to form a perfect seal. They tighten with three screw knobs. Included with the housing is a handy yellow carry-case which has a waterproof interior and zippered side-pocket.
