DEMA 2008: SeaTool
By Matt J. Weiss, October 30, 2008 @ 02:00 AM (EST)
SeaTool had a number of products that cover a wide variety of underwater imagery tools. The first product we were shown was the Fix LED 100 dx light. It’s an upgrade to the HG 200x with more battery capacity and is 2.5 amps and runs for an additional 25 minutes, pushing it up to a 80 minute life. Also, for those deep divers it can reach 120 meters in depths as opposed to the old model which could only go 70 meters. The price on the light is set to be $599 and its planned release is in early December.
A very cool feature to the light is the optional hand made remote control that can control on/off and intensity features of the light and be placed on the housing handles for easy access. The remote control is set to be released in February.

Next up was the upgraded SVH –SR 11/12 Sea Tool housing. The upgrade included an accessible toubh planel that allows for manual white balance. It has a monitor on the back than can access the brightness control. The housing retails for $ 3,499
We also got to see the FIX NP 6000 housing for the Nikon Coolpix P-6000. The P-6000 is an exceptional point and shoot system and it deservingly receives a high quality housing. Its made from die cast aluminum and has a depth rating of 100 meters. It also has a very cool nikonos bulkhead connector as well as a flash window for a fiber optic cable. The housing will come out in December.
Last but in no way, shape or form, least is the FIX XD EXI housing for the Sony PMW-EXI XDCAM. The housing has 3 mechanical functions, adjustable handle with a 45 degree rational , every available control, and can be used with Fathom Super Wide Angle lens port. It’s surely going to popular among professional videographers. The housing is set to be released in November for $7,000 including standard port system.
