Press release

Inon XD Mount series products

INON’s new bayonet mount “XD Mount” is easy to attach and detach by pressing the lock lever and turning the lens halfway. With the “XD Lens Holder,” you can switch between wide and macro smoothly without storing a lens in a BC pocket.

You can comfortably shoot macro subjects and dynamic underwater scenery even in single dive.

With the XD Mount, you don’t have to worry about the lens anchoring due to salt build-up that can occur with a screw-type lens mount.

The newly announced products are as below;

XD Mount” is exclusively designed for genuine housings for Olympus “Tough TG” series and Sony “RX100” series.

The “XD Mount” is equipped with a stopper to prevent accidental rotation and rattling.

Also, the “XD Mount” does not interfere with a fiber optics cable when a wide conversion lens is attached to an Olympus housing.

No separate accessory is required for combined use of strobe and “XD Lens”.

The “XD Mount M67 Port” is highly versatile enabling it to attach to the M67 lens port or on another brand housing.

Also, we have various new lens holders to hold XD mount.

The new addition to the lens holder line is “Lens Holder Shoe Base”.

The Lens Holder Shoe Base is attached to the cold/accessory shoe of housing.

Since the center of gravity doesn’t move much as like having a lens holder on an arm and another lens is nearby the lens being used, it is convenient to handle the whole system and change the lens underwater.
