For sale: USD $2500 (price reduced from $3000) or best offer. Gear located in Sydney, Australia. Happy to ship worldwide but freight will be added to final agreed price.
Purchased approximately 3 years ago, the camera housing from Scubapix in Australia, the lights from Backscatter in the US. Total purchase price of all gear was US $10,000. I haven't used the camera for about 6 months as I have been using my new 5dmkIII but have confirmed all is in working order.
Condition of kit: normal wear and tear, continues to take excellent video. Anything that is in less than very good condition is as follows:
Attached photos should give an indication of scratches, dings, wear and tear...
Below are links to a number of videos I created using this camera. It is a very good camera for both wide angle and macro, great colours and crisp focus. At significant depth the white balance gets a bit finicky and the low light performance is not stellar but that's where the video lights come in...

Condition of kit: normal wear and tear, continues to take excellent video. Anything that is in less than very good condition is as follows:
- the wet / dry microphone does not work but I presume it could be repaired at a L&M service centre if it is important to you (I never needed it...).
- acrylic on back monitor is slightly scratched in a few places but it doesn't impact ability to see what you are filming and it is barely noticeable underwater.
- Fathom 90 lens has a minuscule ding which can probably be rubbed out by toothpaste if you give it enough elbow grease, but since it didn't impact my footage at all, I have not spent a lot of time trying to do that.
- The plastic bodies of the charging plugs for the solas have cracked (really thin plastic!) and have been glued or taped - they still work fine but if you want pristine plugs or Australian instead of US version, I'm sure you can get from a Light and Motion Sola dealer.
