Designed for the most discriminating underwater videographer, the AVMC-VX1000 is a rugged, reliable, high quality Marine Case for the Sony DCR-VX1000 3ccd MiniDV Digital Camcorder. Suitable for wet weather, water sports, and underwater video applications to depths of 90 meters/300 feet, it is extremely compact, easy to set up, and easy to use. The High Resolution Wide Angle Converter lens provided with the underwater case nearly doubles the angle of view -- for dramatically clearer, more colorful underwater pictures.

The dome port optical system corrects for distortions and aberrations that would otherwise occur, yet the full focus correction allows true, magnified macro and zooming functions &endash; without having to change lenses or optical setup. An underwater color correction filter is also included that restores a natural color balance, for rich saturated colors -- even at depth.

For greater depths, night diving, wreck diving, etc. -- the AquaVideo SuperNova high powered underwater lighting system is available as an option -- providing a compact, completely professional system for use in any conditions.

One of the most important features of the AVMC-VX1000 is the use of patented X-ring seal technology. The X-ring seal provides double sealing for extremely high reliability.

In addition, the clear endplates allow the user to clearly see the seals to easily verify that the seal has been made - before entering the water. The clear backplate also allows full visibility of the VX1000's LCD viewfinder -providing ease of use and better viewfinder visibility than competing closed end housings.
