Housing-informations

Ergonomic placement of all the important controls provides convenient and comfortable handling of the camera functions. Special attention has been paid to the position of the main dial. The housing allows access to all functions of the camera. The camera is mounted on a saddle for precise positioning inside the housing. A 4 mm main-O-ring and the SUBAL QuickLock system make it virtually im possible to close the lid if the O-ring is not lying correctly in its groove. Maximum security is assured. Generous shading of the LCD-monitor provides a dazzle- free view to the brilliant image of the camera monitor and works well with the HD-video function of this camera. Threaded holes underneath the housing allow the mounting of trays and/or accessories. A top mounted plate with a threaded hole is provided for attaching a light-weight aiming light. The housing incorporates an excellent viewfinder optic for full frame viewing. Optionally the housing can be assembled with the magnifying Viewfinder Optic GS 180 or the magnifying, 360° rotatable, Viewfinder Optic WS 45. As with all our products choice of materials, machining, surface protection and finish conform with SUBAL’s well known standards of re liability and workmanship.
