The Mangrove WP-80 is a high resolution underwater wide angle port for capturing dynamic wide angle images; it has been designed by Fathom Imaging to bring distortion-free imaging to Mangrove housings. For big subjects and great "close focus wide-angle" performance, the wide-angle port WP-80 increases the camcorder's field of view while maintaining edge-to-edge sharpness and no color aberration. The WP-80 provides a wonderful 80° field-of-view at full wide while still maintaining two-thirds zoom-through focus capability. The WP-80 port is an economical wonder for large subjects and great compositional expansion The wide angle lens will definitely enhance your videos, whether the subject matter is a broad view of a general area or your aim is to get up close and personal with larger subjects. Our lens system allows for partial zoom through capability of your camera. Distortion is virtually minimal with spectacular image quality attained.

OVERVIEW: 

The WP-80 covers a range of 80º underwater and 90º on land, it enables extreme close focusing and assures brilliant colour rendition, producing high definition wide angle and macro images that are sharp and clear from edge to edge. It can be used on land as well as underwater.
The WP-80 is nitrogen purged/vacuum sealed in a dust-free environment, ensuring no foreign matter or condensation to spoil your image, it is constructed entirely of corrosion-resistant aluminium alloy and high grade optical glass elements which are coated with a proprietary High Efficiency Broad Band Anti-Reflective coating for maximum light transmission.
This port is backward compatible with many out-of production Mangrove housings so current users can upgrade to one of the finest ports available for underwater imaging, in order to do that the original 67mm port should be replaced at our factory by the new 56mm threaded port ring .

The WP-80 also accepts the colour correction filter CF-127 for blue water. Colour-correcting filter created specifically to correct colours in Caribbean or tropical blue-green (cyan) water. With sunlight and the CF-127 filter, you capture the natural colours of ocean corals, fish and aquatic life in lakes, streams and rivers. This filter "neutralizes" the underwater blue colours so that the true colours which already exist can be recorded on film or video. This Wet filter enhances the quality of both still and video images when not using an artificial light source. It can can be installed and removed during the course of the dive
