The RVH-CX550V housing for the Sony HDR-CX-550V camera is another triumph from Recsea. Well engineered and ergonomically friendly, you're sure to be pleased with Recsea's seamless intergration between your camera & the housing. The Recsea underwater housing is machined from pure, solid blocks of aluminum and polycarbonate. The end result of this meticulous attention to detail is one of the smallest, lightest underwater video housings every produced.
This housing features rugged aluminum construction yet only weighs 1.7kg. Small and light enough to hand carry on aircraft, it's the perfect tool for the travelling diver faced with strict airline weight restrictions.
Because the housing body conforms so closely to the camera, the housing attains nearly neutral buoyancy (slightly negative) for effortless underwaterhandling handling.
