IT'S HIGH DEFINITION FOR EVERYONE!

Last year's introduction of the Sony HDR-FX1(~$3200) "prosumer" high definition camcorder, combined with the AquaVideo AVMC-FX1 housing ($2699) brought cost-effective high definition underwater video to the prosumer/professional market. The introduction of the Sony HDR-HC1 (and HVR-A1) and AquaVideo's AVMC-HC1 housing ($1399 including wide lens) made high quality, ultra-compact high definition underwater video affordable for everyone. Now Sony has upped the ante with the HDR-HC3 - which is less expensive (just over $1000) and, in addition to stunning high definition video, provides a 4 megapixel digitial still camera function. AquaVideo's AVMC-H3 housing ($1399 including wide lens, dome port, etc.) provides excellent visibility of the camera's LCD and easy use of both still and video functions.

HOT NEWS: Sony has just begun shipping the replacement for the HDR-FX1 and HVR-Z1 camcorders - the HDR-FX7 and for the the 24P crowd the HVR-V1. The AquaVideo housing fits either and provides full controls, as well as reduced size and excellent visibility of the camera's LCD. Pricing is $2749.00 (+$399 for wide lens) for the housing that fits any of the cameras: HDR-FX7U, HDR-FX7E, HVR-V1U, HVR-V1E. We are delivering and taking orders now.

NEW! Panasonic has brought DVCPro100 HD recording (100 mbits recording as opposed to 25 mbits for HDV) as well as Varicam camera features to the prosumer market with its ~$7500 HVX-200. AquaVideo was the first to ship housings for this revolutionary camcorder in February, 2006, and it was recently featured as a cover story in Studio Monthly magazine. Housing for the Panasonic AG-HVX200 HiDef DVCPro100 camcorder is $2899.

Underwater Lighting: AquaVideo's SuperNova 250 and 350 watt tungsten halogen lights have been the industry standard for quality, reliability and high power for over 20 years. Although our 50/60 watt HID brought SuperNova™ quality to the HID market, recent improvements in our halogen lights make them the best choice for most users. Our Underwater Lighting Guide sorts fact from fiction. Click here for more info.

We also rent abovewater camcorder packages; a broadcast quality live switching "flightpack"; multiple broadcast box-type cameras with remote pan/tilt control; professional audio mixers, amps, speakers and video projection - for live events, conventions, concerts, etc. We also supply underwater and abovewater operators.
