is this a amphibico endeavor?

[Big fish63]

I am a little confused whether or not this is a amphibico endeavor. This housing is used with a hdr-fx7e.
All of the amphibico endeavors i have seen advertised seem to have a 'shelter' over the screen to cover it from sunlight with what looks like four buttons underneath the screen but this one doesn't appear to?
also the other housings say Endeavor down the side in black writing but this one says Amphibico.

heres what i'm comparing it to

Amphibico Underwater Video Housing- ENDEAVOR Series for SONY® HDR-FX7 & HVR-V1

any input appreciated.

It's an Endeavor (it's not a Phenom) It's missing the LCD hood. btw - with that monitor tilted up - you really want the hood.

Apparently they didn't all have the 4 buttons you reference. Totally a guess on my part - it's the SD monitor.
Only the HD monitor for the Phenom has the controls also. http://www.amphibico.com/store/monitors-and-accessories/

I found this reference on the wetpixel review:

If you are considering this housing, I suggest you buy it with the HD monitor and the 94° OPWA. Amphibico has different packages with different ports and monitor backs at various prices points, with SD monitors and a standard flat port as a basic package to the top of the line which I tested

hmm... everything i didnt want to hear. from looking at it i kind of guessed that it would suffer from glare.. wonder if i will be able to get the hood since the housing was discontinued..

They should have the hoods if you call them. It looks like the same hood they sell on their 16x9 HD monitors. BTW I just sold my two Phenom housings but I have an 80degree dome port, brand new and looking to sell it if you need one. $200. =) I sold the two 94 degree ports
