Monitors

Underwater monitors for reviewing photos and video while diving

Underwater monitors are external displays that connect to a housing, giving divers a larger and clearer view of their images. This makes it easier to assess focus, exposure, and composition in real time.

Most monitors are lightweight yet durable, with depth ratings suitable for diving. They are designed for use with housings that include an HDMI or accessory port connection. Not all housings support this, so compatibility should be checked before use.

Key features of underwater monitors

These devices combine large displays with compact design for ease of use.

• Display sizes up to 7 inches (≈18 cm)
• Depth ratings around 100 m 

Benefits for underwater photography and videography

A larger monitor helps divers confirm whether details are sharp and lighting is correct. This is especially useful when capturing moving subjects or adjusting lights during a dive.

Underwater monitors can be mounted on top of housings using ball connections or similar mounts. They are compatible with underwater housings equipped with accessory ports.

Practical advice for choosing and using a monitor

Selecting the right monitor depends on display size, weight, and housing compatibility. Always check the housing port and HDMI setup before attaching a monitor to ensure secure operation.

Monitors are valuable tools for both photographers and videographers who need precise control. They offer improved confidence in image quality while underwater.
