EX1 Housing

................................


     

You guys make a hell of a solid product -- it’s a tank. It has taken all the abuse from a Zodiac to deep depths to being in a tiger sharks mouth.

Minimal setup work and an incredible field of view w/ the 120 degree super wide lens. Excellent for tight areas and for trying to get everything in the shot . No buttons to get jammed or sucked in.

Perfect controls. Thanks so much for all the help and support. Its good to know you guys are there ...
