    Gates Underwater Housing for the Canon HF-S20, S21, S200 & S30

    You can see details and bid where it's listed over on ebay.

    This is a great underwater housing and in excellent working condition. It's been used on about 70 dives and produced beautiful video. I've used many underwater housings and nothing beats a Gates for quality and design.


    Combined with the Canon HF-S21, HFS-20, HFS-200 or HFS-30 produces outstanding HD 1080p video. Gates has cleverly allowed the camcorder remote to work in the housing allowing anything that can be set with the remote/menus to be done in the housing. This allows custom white balance to be set underwater - a must for high quality video.


    This include both the Standard port and flat (macro) port with lens caps. Also includes the full set of extra o-rings provided by Gates and the excellent Gates manual. The red filter has been upgraded from the standard plastic one to a glass filter. New with the extra port, this housing cost over $2600.


    I have been very happy with this housing and it has worked beautifully. Easy to assemble with a very reliable seal. It has never shown even the slightest sign of a leak. Handles come off easily for travel.


    I am only selling it because I have switched to a different camcorder that does not work with this housing.


    This housing makes the Gates level of housing quality available for non-Professional cameras.


    The big LCD viewfinder window and Gates Precision ports, provide clarity previously unavailable in a compact housing. The housing provides fingertip mechanical control of camera functions, including full menu access. Slip the Canon remote into the shell and White Balance, Tele Converter and all embedded menu functions are readily available.


    Durabl5 machined aluminum, black type III hard anodize finish, and sealed with a nickel-acetate process.


    Reliable Fingertip Controls are 100% mechanical -- no sticky buttons, faulty electronics or dead batteries!


    LCD Window is your big, built-in viewfinder with wide viewing angles.


    Precision Ports mean clarity, sharpness and no vignetting (cutoff dark corners) to spoil your images which is critical for HD.


    Accommodates all Canon Camcorder Battery Sizes up to BP-819 for maximum shooting between recharges.
