This housing is well-balanced and easy to learn and use. It lends itself well for video light mounting. The camera fits snug inside and controls are at your fingertips very comfortably. It assembles and breaks down quickly and fits very well in a carry-on sized case with room for lights, batteries, tapes, and accessories.
The flat macro dome port is spectacular, however a hood or shade is necessary to keep a small amount of light from bouncing around inside the shouding and showing up on the tape if the sun is coming from behind the shooter. Gates has now fabricated a hood that resolves this concern.
The standard dome port is not quite as wide-angled as I'd like to have, so obtaining a Fathoms wide-angle port is recommended.

I spent a month shooting this camera in Indonesia and am absolutely delighted with the camera, battery length, and final product. It uses miniDV tapes, which I'd rather have over a hard drive built into the camera. It shoots well in ambient light and very well with video lights.
The only thing I didn't care for was the fact that the wide-angle/telephoto buttons are on the flip-out screen and not on the top of the camera, so if shooting on land, it's almost impossible to zoom in or out without moving the camera, even if on a tripod.

I would also like to see an adapter for Canon lenses as I have 6-8 Canon lenses for the AE-1 Program and would like to use these lenses on the digital Canon Eos.
