The Gates HC7/HC9 underwater housing sports a big 2x3 in (51x76mm) viewfinder window making the camera LCD easy to see, even from wide viewing angles. This eliminates the need for an external monitor. This, as well as all other Gates housings, integrate very nicely with the new underwater tripod.
Controls accessed by the housing include On/OFF, Record, Standby, Zoom, Photo, an internal flip filter, and access to the "assign" button. The assign button can be set to control focus, exposure, or white balance shift. An optional control is also available, which will allow access to the cameras white balance function located on the lcd screen. If you choose to take advantage of the optional white balance control, a small portion of the lcd window will be blocked to allow for this control to be installed. The optional control is $97.00.
An optional carry handle is also available which will make general handling of the housing much easier. The Gates HC7/HC9 is the perfect travel companion. It's small size allows the housing, lights and ports to all fit within a 1560 Pelican Case.
Gates Pak: With a purchase of any Gates Housing, at least one port and lights, you will also receive the Gates Pak Free. The Gates Pak includes a Pelican case (pre-packaged for easy access to all your components), spare o-ring kit, port polishing kit and Gates drying towel.
