Any news/update on a release date for the Nauticam GH2 housing.

Nauticam is showing pictures of NA-GH2 in its webpage, I think it will be released very soon.
I heard that they have designed a new dome port for 14mm pancake which is a 3.5 inch dome and some ports will be further delay for 2 weeks.

thanks.
Yep i saw the website.
Unfortunately they do not quote the weight of the housing.
I am hoping it is a lot smaller/lighter compared to a DSLR housing.

Nauticam just put up the spec sheet, unfortunately it is about the same size as their T2i housing. I also was hoping it would be smaller.

Finally managed to place my order on this housing, hopefully I can use it on my coming dive trip in mid June.

Hi Kkfok,

Just had a look at the Nauticam website,. They quote the weight of the housing as 1.3 Kg. This is good news. I want one.

Where did you order your housing from.
I am based in Perth,Oz & would like to order a housing. Did you order from a website in Asia?
How much is the housing ,$2000?

The housing is $2100, ordered from a local dive center.

Regarding the remarks about the size of the Nauticam GH-2 housing (close to DSLR size) you need to keep in mind the size of the camera which is not even close to the PEN size cameras even though it is an M43 camera. This camera includes an impressive 1.4X electronic viewfinder which provides a view that is significantly larger than any APS-c or four thirds aspect ratio and very close to a full-frame 35mm DSLR camera. The up side is that the lens set is much smaller than full-frame and requires smaller dome ports for most lenses resulting in a more compact system overall.
