Posted by James Wiseman on 10/24 at 10:58 AMI recieved mine last week. Blake and the Aquatica team have done a superb job in making this housing. I have to agree with James’ comment, the main controls are perfectly placed.
Posted by Jim on 10/24 at 12:24 PMWe have an almost complete list of the parts needed to complete those finder and go to production, as is usual in this trade, it will be down to the wire for DEMA. Hopefully we should be announcing some additional new things at the DEMA show, as they say, Stay tuned and remember to join us at the WETPIXEL night cap for a round of drinks.
P.S. For those of you familiar with James capillary system, you will notice that it is not him holding the housing in the picture :-)
