[WesG]

Hi Jason. Using a locally built custom housing. Used for shallow water work (down to 10 metres)

Hi Jason. Using a locally built custom housing. Used for shallow water work (down to 10 metres)

do they sell them? how much are they?

 

[WesG]

Hi Christain,
They do sell, but you need to supply your Epic for at least a month - as each housing is fully custom built (regardless of whether they've built one for the same camera before).
PM me if you'd like more info
cheers

Wes those stills are amazing! I'm sure the shots are even better.

 

[James Drake]

Beauty. What controls did you have with that underwater housing?

 

[WesG]

I have
- power on/off (plus record on body)
- record on side handle
- user assign - two buttons front left of camera body
- 1:1 zoom for focus on LCD
Then three knobs for the 18-50 Red zoom to control
- focus
- zoom
- iris

Looking forward to the Canon mount to see what that will give us and what additional controls may add which would use the side handle.

cheers

Housing looks like a Dave Kelly job? Looking at the controls I would almost bet on it....nice work

What do you do to get zero drop of water on your front element?

Just curious, I never did whater stuff.

Thanks.

[WesG]

clean port and good old spit - the water ends up sticking to the port so you are effectively shooting through a thin layer of water, before it starts beading

don't use any detergents etc, this often only makes the water bead faster, which is what you don't want

cheers
