FX1 / Z1 Housing |

“I’ve used housings with electronic controls for 12 years, but recently purchased a Gates housing for the Sony Z1U high-definition camera. It’s simple to use, rugged and reliable - and with no batteries to go flat, always ready for a dive. I especially like the Green Force HID lights. They’re tough, bright and with the 80 minute burn time, I don’t have to worry about running out of light on my night dives. Whether I’m shooting super macro in the muck of Lembeh strait or whale sharks in the Galapagos, my Gates housing has performed flawlessly. From now on, I won’t take a chance, I’ll take a Gates!” Mike Schnetzer, professional
