AMPHIBICO 'DISCOVERY 10' HID 'ALLOY' LIGHT

  • Without a doubt all the current latest Amphibico releases are their finest ever and for many reasons.
  • All new direction for Amphibico with the EVO HCA1 Dive Buddy housing and it is all for the better. Standard list of items including the inclusion of the new 3.5" colour monitor back, 5 control electronic grip as found on the professional grade Phenom Z1/FX1 HD housing, glass wide angle front port, a great new look and feel, plus superior ergonomics are all excellent improvements.
  • Compact housing.
  • Aluminium construction.

  • Colour: Silver.
  • 3.5" colour monitor back = approx 4.5" underwater. Now being supplied with new cast alloy back plate at a 10 degrees upward angle. As part of the standard specification Amphibico have bitten the bullet and are shipping all EVO HD HCA1 ELITE video housings with the monitor built into the alloy back door. Please note that it is independently powered and does not rely on the camera at all. I like it this way. It uses 4 x AA batteries. We include with our A1 packages a 4 x AA NiMH 12v/110-240v world/car charging kit and 4 extra NiMH batteries for your convenience.
  • Glass 0.55X wide angle front port, givng around 75 degrees angle of coverage and allowing approximately 2/3rd zoom for high quality macro work. Good all-round front port with the excellent macro zoom function that many people do not explore.
