This is a Gates Underwater Housing for a Sony FX1/Z1U. It comes with the Standard Port SP44 dome and delrin port cover.

It has been on a shelf for a couple of years and was used as a display unit. This would be ideal for an FX1/Z1U shooter looking to get into underwater, or for an existing shooter to pick up a B camera or a backup housing.

Paired with a monitor, this is a very capable professional-level underwater system; FX1/Z1U rigs similar to this have been used by the BBC to produce some of The Blue Planet and Planet Earth's underwater sequences.

It is missing the color correction filter and tripod screw. It has not been pressure-tested or recently serviced--I would recommend that the buyer contact Gates Underwater Housings for information on servicing it before attempting to dive it.

This housing unit retailed new at $7299. Sony FX1/Z1U camera NOT included.

I'm looking to get about $1200 for it--this cost is based on the fact that it will probably need a service from Gates to dive. If you don't like eBay, make me an offer here, but paypal will probably be involved either way...
