Our former X3 housing has now gone HYBRID...introducing the XD Amphibicam X3 Hybrid, another addition to the Amphibicam® family of professional underwater housings.
| Specifically designed for the Sony® PMW-EX3 camcorder and Convergent Designs nanoFlash recorder. This Hybrid delight is a compact housing that boasts the full access of the Sony® PMW-EX3 camcorder controls and has an optional built in accessory panel to access the Convergent Designs nanoFlash recorder.
The optional accessory panel accesses the Convergent Designs nanoFlash recorder using mechanical buttons to have full control of the recorders functions. With the seamless design of the product any professional will be able to reach beyond his potential producing stunning results. With a ton of features to keep any pro thrilled, you will find all the important features such as White Balance, ND Filter, Gain, Shutter Speed, Iris, Zoom, and Manual Focus are all at your fingertips. Some might call it the little brother of the HD Amphibicam with matching features, except it is better suited for travel with its compact size.

It brings to the videographer a sense of being one with the housing while allowing any diver the freedom to enjoy the experience.
