Sealux housing for Panasonic GH3

The new SEALUX CSGH3 housing made for the innovative Lumix GH3 provides perfect support for both photography and video. Now, this digital system camera with its superb operability can fully show its strengths under water, too. The new camera slide makes fitting the camera very easy. The grip fitted at the front is adjustable! We have designed the precision-fit CSGH3 housing in such a way that you can make perfect underwater use of your Lumix GH3 camera. Safety, easy key operability and all the most important functions allow you to act in a fast, effortless and focussed way, under water, too.

A special socket (optional) enables you to connect an HDMi monitor. This way, high definition image viewing in video mode is perfectly possible using the monitor. The CSGH3 housing features small dimensions. Large O-rings, double seal shafts and keys sealed even fourfold guarantee a maximum degree of safety. The camera is precision-guided on a special slide and fitted inside the front part of the housing, thereby excluding fitting errors. All flash units can be connected without a synchronization lead using optic-fibre sockets.

Housing:

The housing is made of a seawater-proof aluminum alloy. It is CNC milled out of a monoblock, anodized in black and in addition, powder coated on the outside. The housing has an M6 thread to fit, for example, a small video light (Matrix 2200 Di) or our new 5” HDMI monitor on top of the housing for relaxed underwater video shoots. Minimal dimensions and weight. Excellent taring with all ports. Ports must be ordered separately. Color: powder coated in metallic silver.

The following functions come as standard: ON-OFF, shutter release, comfortable operation of frontal control dial from the grip, rear control dial, mode selector wheel, white balance, ISO adjustment, exposure correction, keys for playback, Fn5, Fn2, Fn3, Fn4, DSF as well as cursor and menu keys. Fitted on the left you find zoom or manual focus as well as the lens release facility for changing lenses with the camera fitted inside the housing. In addition, the internal flash unit can be flipped open and shut again.
