SEALUX HDEX1

The SEALUX HEDX1 housing represents a reliable, tailor-made housing for the
professional High-Definition Camcorder made by Sony. It is the smallest and lightest aluminium underwater housing for the EX1 available on the market. The detachable wide-angle lens ports stand out for the highest degree of flexibility and optical quality possible. The ease of both electronic and mechanical operation guarantees perfect operability in any situation.
