AquaTech DV-3 Sports Underwater Housing


I used this housing with the Canon 1Ds Mark II, but also fits the 1D Mark II, 1D Mark II N and the amazing 1V, which is the analog film body. It’s been reliably waterproof and I never had any issues. It’s very easy to set up and change cards, film or lenses. The housing fits in the camera like a glove and it looks, feels, and operates like your camera.

The epoxy construction makes the housing lightweight and durable. So the DV-3 is perfect for working in and around the water, up to a depth of 33' (10 m). The size and weight provides superb handling on the surface. This allows you to shoot surf and sailing photos while being right in the water.

Camera installation is quick and simple. The dependable controls are conveniently placed at your fingertips. A zoom lens port for the Canon EF 24-70mm 2.8 lens and two dome ports for fish eye or wide angle to normal focal length are included. The camera housing comes with a TTL bulkhead for use with the external flash housing and has been custom modified to attach a pocket wizard housing for external flashes / strobes to be triggered for f.ex. from outside a pool or trigger the camera remotely underwater. Another custom feature is the moisture alert via a red diode.

Included :

Aquatech DV-3 Housing

LP-Zoom Port for 28-70mmm lens : allows to use the zoom while camera is in the housing

LP-3 8” Dome Port : amazing for split above / below water shots with fish-eye or wide angle to normal focal length lenses

LP-1 6” Dome Port : for use with fish-eye or wide angle focal length lenses

Flash Housing : for use with the Canon 580EX or similar

Pocket Wizard Housing : allows for external flashes / strobes to be triggered for f.ex. from outside a pool or reverse trigger the camera

All housing and ports have covers for travel packing

Detachable Side Handle Assembly w/ Allen Key

Maintenance and Cleaning Kit including all pertinent tools

Additional front elements for the Zoom Port

Additional O-Rings for the Housing

O-Ring grease and bags with spare items

User manual, Instruction sheet and Lens to Port fitment list

Conversion plate to fit the Canon EOS 1V into the housing


Lowered Price to $1300 including the Tenba Transport Case

I would prefer local pick up in NYC with cash, but am open to shipping, if needed.
Please PM with any questions.

Thanks for looking.
 
How many shutter actuations?
 
Shutter count per Shuttercounter.com is 50225 , see screenshots below.
The shutters minimum life per Canon Professional Service is 200.000 , though the service technician I spoke to last year told me the shutter repairs they got were with shutters counting well over 500.000 to 1 Mio.
