Light & Motion is proud to announce the Bluefin HD, a newly designed professional underwater housing system for the Sony High Definition HDR-FX1 and HVR-Z1U camcorders.

Constructed from industrial grade aluminum, machined, anodized and depth rated to 400 feet, the Bluefin HD housing has an advanced feature set that will satisfy even the most discriminating videographers. Housing controls include power on/off, record start/stop, double tap variable zoom control, electronic manual focus, momentary auto focus on/off, manual iris and gain, shutter speed, manual push white balance and neutral density filter. Smart Grip Handles also provide access to VTR playback for instant footage review. Also included is a Flip Down Color Correction Filter, and the revolutionary Flip Macro Lens that will allow for super macro detail at any time on any dive.

Smart Grip Handles put important functions where you need them, at your fingertips. Handles provide non-penetrating push button controls, utilizing IR transmitters and receivers. No fumbling around for awkward levers and dials. As such, the housing is a natural extension of your hands so capturing that perfect video sequence is made easy. With the Easy Load camera tray setup is a snap. Double O-ring Seals and Self Locking Rotary Latches provide the security you would expect allowing you the peace of mind to focus on your passion.

The dry weight of the Bluefin HD will vary with configuration. A standard configuration (flat port, no lights, no external monitor) will have a dry weight of 26 pounds. Dive ready weight including the camera is 33 pounds with a buoyancy just slightly negative in water. Fully loaded Pro Travel Package (UWA adapter, pro lights, and remote monitor) will have a dry weight of 44 pounds and a buoyancy just slightly negative in water.
