Housing Sentry-Basic joins the Housing Sentry-Complete
CINCINNATI, Ohio (March, 2013) - UnderWater Camera Stuff announced the release of the Housing Sentry–Basic. The Housing Sentry system allows a vacuum to be drawn on an underwater housing which will allow the photographer/videographer to know, before entering the water, if they have any set-up problems with their o-rings. The vacuum also creates a stronger seal for o-rings and housing parts such as lens ports.
The Housing Sentry-Basic includes a stainless steel vacuum connector customized to the housing and type of installation, a block-off plug, an input fitting and an industrial standard, manual vacuum pump with integrated pressure gauge. The introductory price of this system is $290.
“We have been selling these parts on an a la carte basis since the Housing Sentry-Complete was released in 2010 and have quite a number of happy customers throughout the world. The time is now right to bundle the parts into an official product and give it a name”, stated Bill Libecap, founder of UnderWater Camera Stuff.
There are six customized vacuum connectors available for the Housing Sentry-Basic based on the type of installation desired. The options include: (1) an unused, half-inch, unthreaded bulkhead such as Aquatica or Sea&Sea; (2) an unused 14mm threaded bulkhead such as Nauticam, Subal or Seacam; (3) an unused control location in an ikelite housing; (4) a bulkhead with an unused Nikonos connector; (5) aluminum housing without an open bulkhead and (6) acrylic housing. Options 5 and 6 require an additional opening be added to the housing.
With the Basic system, a user will know if their housing seals are either good or compromised before starting their dive. UnderWater Camera Stuff also offers the Housing Sentry-Complete which includes electronics to continually monitor the vacuum level of the housing. The electronic circuit board can be added at a later date to upgrade the Housing Sentry-Basic to the Complete version.
More announcements from UnderWater Camera Stuff on the expansion of the Housing Sentry line of products are expected soon. They will include versions using non-stainless steel fittings which will have lower price-points so photographers using less expensive or point-and-shoot systems can also enjoy the benefits of the Housing Sentry. For additional information or to purchase any version of the Housing Sentry, visit the company’s website,http://www.uwcamerastuff.com/housing_sentry.htm, or send an email toInfo@UWCameraStuff.com
