“Heavy is good. Heavy is a sign of reliability.”
“Boris the Blade” from the movie Snatch
Obviously Boris never swam with a waterhousing because if he did, he’d know that having a lightweight rig is the only way to go. A professional caliber digital SLR with quality glass is heavy enough so why compound things with a waterhousing that weighs a ton? Strength to weight ratio is what you are looking for and Essex’s polyurethane resins gives you a far superior strength to weight ratio than aluminum or even fiberglass and resin can.
Our waterhousings are some of, if not the lightest housings on the market today and
the materials that we use provide strength while decreasing the weight. We’ve taken the design and manufacturing of waterhousings to a whole new level in our line of housings for the Nikon D200 and the Canon Mark II.
Look for yourself at the weight tables below and then compare our housings to the others. Our lineup of customers know that our housings are the lightest, most technologically advanced housing on the market today.
