Molded of clear polycarbonate to provide seamless construction and corrosion proof performance. This "Clearly Superior" design provides full view of the camcorder, control functions, and assurance the system is safe up to depths of 200 feet (60 meters).

The camera's large viewing screen can be viewed using the External Mirror featured on the side of the housing. The External Mirror is hinged to fold against the housing side for travel. Actual image will be reversed when viewed through the mirror.

A magnified Super-Eye Viewfinder is provided for enhanced viewing of the HF S21 camera's optical viewfinder. Canon HF S20 and HF S200 cameras do not feature optical viewfinders and must be viewed using the mirror on the side of the housing.

Controls for the LCD screen touch pad provide access to setting white balance. HF S20, HF S21 and HF S200 cameras provide full access to white balance controls. The HF S30 camera must be pre-set to custom white balance prior to installation and used in custom white balance mode until removed from the housing.

The base removes instantly with a unique toggle clamp for traveling or attaching of the optional Pro Video Lite 3 battery pack. The handle assembly detaches from the housing by removal of just two nuts for packing.

Lighting Options.
Watch your video quality improve dramatically by adding light to your system. The Pro-V8 LED Video Lite is the ultimate in easy and affordable video lighting. This light boasts a bright and even 45_ angle of coverage over a 10 hour burn time. Color temperature is daylight balanced and usable with or without a color filter.

Or opt for the professional grade coverage of the Pro Video Lite 3. This powerhouse features a super bright, high intensity halogen light and a 100_ spread.

External Wide Angle and Macro Lenses.
The housing port features 67mm threads to allow for the direct attachment of external 67mm threaded macro lenses from Inon and Epoque. The exceptionally wide angle of the camera's native lens results in extreme vignetting when external wide angle lenses are attached. External wide angle lenses provide no optical advantage with these cameras.

Internal Wide Angle Lens Option.
Special ports are available for use with Raynox DCR-730/DCR-731 high resolution wide-angle lens. Optional ports sold separately as dome port #9306 or flat lens port #9306.1. A 58mm-52mm thread adapter ring is required to attach the Raynox lens to the CX550 camera. Raynox lens and adapter ring not included. Lens and adapter ring not available for purchase through Ikelite.
