HF S30 Video Housing
Clear and Colorful HD in a Compact Companion
The Gates HF-S30 housing has the same superb underwater HD image quality as the popular HF-S11, but with a considerably larger 5.5in/14cm diagonal window for wide viewing angles of the big 3.5" diagonal camera LCD - your built-in detailed viewfinder. Of course the HF-S30 provides reliable fingertip mechanical control of all camera functions: Simply slide the Canon remote inside the shell and White Balance, Tele Converter and all embedded menu functions are readily available.
Reliability, durability, dependability - the Gates hallmark for over 40 years
