    New tray design questions

    I was looking at the web site news and reading about the new trays for all the housings. I could not locate the information I was looking for and thought I might suggest that it be added to the web site. What I would like to see is either a chart or at least specifications comparing the older tray to the newer tray listing things like weight, buoyancy and if there are any dimensional changes that either effect hand positioning or grip.

    I know that some people have larger and smaller hands so if the grip size has changed that would be nice to know. I also think that some people would be more likely to upgrade if the new tray is 1/2 the weight of the old one. I like the new tray look.

    When will the 9523.68 SLR-DC Tray with Handles be available and at what cost?

    As always Thanks for your great customer service.

    hello,

    would be happy to read more specifications too, as I'm on my way to upgrade for the new tray/handle on a 5DmkII housing.
    Also, is there any space for the balance weight, when using a 8" dome ?
    thanks

    Laurent

    I will pass along the request for new tray/handle specifications vs. the older style.

    All of our DSLR systems are slightly negative so the new tray does not have a provision to accept additional weight. Since the 8" dome port base is now made of aluminum instead of delrin, the housing is better balanced in the underwater environment.
