As reported in the forum, Italian company Easydive has released the Leo II, a housing that fits the majority of DSLR cameras. They have achieved this by controlling camera functions via USB, rather than traditional push buttons, devising a customizable camera saddle to accommodate different models and offering three different rear panels. These rear panels can allow access to video functions, or can be supplied with dual five-pin Nikonos strobe connections. Easydive offers a range of dome and flat ports to complement the housings, an optical viewfinder and lens gears for most lens combinations.
