December 2009
Got my hands on a pre production new port for all those out there that use Amphibico EVO underwater housings or any that take the standard Amphibico bayonet port.
Its 95 degree and its 100% zoom through. Even when you place the port right up against subjects on full wide, they are still in focus!
I wish I had one of these when I was filming all those Whale Sharks. If you have one of these little housings I would highly recommend you get one. RRP is around $1200 US I beleive...not bad....
Here are some sneak pics of what it looks like.
