RDX-550D Housing....

[applecorps]

I generally take my rig down to 65 to 90 feet and it is definitely negatively buoyant without any floats . . even with the plastic dome port. Most recent reef shot at about 70 feet can be seen here:

Sweeeeeet! I think you'll be very happy with it. Did you take a look at my method for installing an Aquatica moisture detector/alarm? It gives me some peace of mind even though it's obviously not fool proof. I think the RDX-550 is more "bang for the buck" than the aluminum housings and under most conditions should perform very well with a high level of endurance. Just my opinion . . and hope.

I found if u bolt it in 1 bolt.... the housing still can play... even with a small lips....

One source is B & H Photo but you could google for others:

The prongs are the contact point . . placing a moist finger tip across them will sound the alarm and flash the red LED light.
