I have a used Gates ax100 housing for sale. No port, no tripod, no extras. It works great! Never had a leak or any problems. Built like a tank. Great way to try out a more pro setup and see if you want to go to "the next level". Fits the sony ax100 camera. I have the camera but am selling it on ebay. You can inquire though. It might still be available. Just make me an offer! Would like to get about $800 for the housing. It was originally $3000. I do have a scratched port that I can through in. But it is pretty messed up. Thanks.

hmmmm. Defeats my purpose of saving money on used equipment. I already have the lens. Actually 2 lenses lol. Trying to find one for around 2k. Good luck, right? haha. Thanks though. At least others will have clarification.

i'm interested in the housing portion. What can you do for me? What can I do for you?

thanks!

Yup. Just lost another one. I really want the 7, but what I want even more is a freaking camcorder that can actually zoom! I'm tired of swimming after fish like its the flipping' 2018 olympics and I'm after Michael Phelps. I just want some zoom and some focus and not have to turn on 10,000 lumens of freaking light, blowing out the eyes of poor little fish everywhere. So I'm on here posting my dumb 3 posts so I can get on the classifieds and find some gear with whats left of my money after flying around the world on my mad quest to drop a flipping gopro in every ocean in the entire world. Please have mercy on me. I want to take awesome videos and show my friends how cool the ocean is. Thank you </rant>

i think everyone is still using the filters. However, it should be noted that when doing closeups with lots of artificial white light (assuming a dive light), you need to take the filter off. Although, it actually looks rather pretty over saturated with red. lol. I just got back from la paz. Great clarity, great people. Probably my favorite Mexican town to date. Not a huge variety of fish, but very pleasant. Most of the upgrades in these cameras has focused on providing 4k and image stabilization. White-balance still sucks in my opinion because of the low dynamic range of these cameras. I'm kinda talking out my arse, but you definitely get very weird artifacts when you transition your shot from dark coral to white sand. Looks like garbage even on the 6. Haven't actually tried the seven, so maybe you're in for a pleasant surprise? Super good deal at $399 though.
