Sony Camcorder Housing

[Douglas]

Has anyone any comments on the Sony MPKDVF4?

The MPKDVF4 works to a depth of 75m (246 ft) and controls all the main functions of the TRV15/17/30 camcorders (Via IR). It includes a wide lens, rear LCD, etc. Priced between $3000 and $4000 (US). The HVLML20 Marine pack light. 20 watt power. Uses Info Lithium battery. Priced between $220 and $350 (US).

What is it like to use? Is it worth the price? Why such price differences on the market? How well does the Sony lighting work?

I can't find any usefull info on the web other than limited sales info from various stores. Any links would be appreciated.

Any other alternative housings for a TRV30?

Personally I think they are very expensive. Check out housing manufacturers like amphibico, Galtes, Light and motion Ikelite etc.

I think you will find that they have products that are significantly cheaper thanSonys offering
