New housings for Panasonic camcorder from Sealux

Sealux stellt neue Panasonic Gehäuse vor Sealux just announced two new underwater housings for the Panasonic HDC-HS9 EG and the Panasonic HDC-SD9 EG camcorder. Both underwater housings are custom-made aluminium housing which have a depth rating to 90m. For shots without a lighting system an internal filter can be used. The new developed infrared control IR 10 enables not only the basic functions like record, zoom and photo, but also the complete operation of the joystick navigation. That allows to operate important functions needed for underwater usage like white balance, IRIS, shutter speed and several more functions and this without any cable needed. There are no movable parts in the housing anymore through the introduction of the infrared control.
