Subal CD3 Underwater housing for Canon EOS 1D/1Ds Mark III

Detail information:

The ergonomic SUBAL design and arrangement of all important elements of the housing allows the camera easy operation without letting go of the handle. The camera is mounted on a special sled, to secure the camera with precision into the housing. This allows a faster and secure mounting. A 4 mm O ring and the SUBAL Quick Lock closure system, prevents accidental crushing of the O-ring and ensures maximum safety.

Special attention was given to the achievement of the front and rear adjustment wheel and of the light lever. The transmission lever in the lid allows the optional activation of AF-ON or of the AE store (star key).

The Subal monitor window provides a glare-free view to the brilliant image of the camera monitor and supports so ideally the HD-video function of the camera. Pilot lights can be attached or mounted to the top shoe.

Only high quality materials are used to produce Subal housings. A precise manufacturing process followed by the surface protection finish, to conform the standard quality level that you get in every SUBAL product.

SUBAL offers for this housing model, 3 different search systems:

the standard viewfinder slimmed  the viewfinder image, so that it can fully be overlooked despite diving mask. The GS 180 and the 45°  viewfinder  offer a view in size approximately corresponding to the camera's viewfinder, with the insight of the GS-180 horizontally, the insight of the WS-45 under 45 °.

All SUBAL ports with bayonet mount on this case can be used!
