Choosing the right port system for your underwater housing is essential for achieving sharp, distortion-free images underwater. Whether you shoot wide-angle or macro, your port setup directly affects image quality, field of view, and usability.
Gears
Gears are control rings that allow manual focus or zoom operation of lenses inside underwater housings. They are essential for precise handling during a dive.

Frequently asked questions about gears for underwater housings
What is a gear for an underwater housing?
A gear is a ring placed around a lens that allows you to control focus or zoom through the external controls of an underwater housing.

What is the difference between a focus gear and a zoom gear?
A focus gear is used to manually adjust focus, while a zoom gear allows you to change focal length on zoom lenses.
How do I know which gear I need for my underwater housing?
You can use port charts to find the correct gear for your specific lens, port and underwater housing.
Are gears brand specific?
Yes, gears are designed for specific lenses and underwater housing systems. Always check compatibility before choosing a gear.
