Yeah, he's local. There are a few shops around because of reef diving here, and he is one of the few manufacturers. Knows big Jim too.

Ah first hand info :-)
Well I know big J too but that doesn't deliver a housing on my doorstep. Got some UW shoots coming and would like to test with the BMPCC underwater. Guess it won't happy to be ready in a few weeks.

I've been interested in this when it was on Kickstarter earlier this year...

Sorry, been away. Only met him a couple of times a few years ago. Best to ring him. Since the pocket or 4k won't do 50p my interest has bottomed out.

I too want to have an underwater housing and ports for uw videography as well. I presently use a 7D. The DSLR's footage of big blue water can easily get banding even with a slight color grading.

I hope 10-bit prores is better.

Maybe next year they will come out.

There are likely heaps of cases. Go to the guy's website, he has many. I remember when he told me the price of the epic housing (looking at scarket use) I thought I only wanted to buy the housing, not the camera.
