Fuji 6900

Recommended Posts

Ok, I have been reading through the forums and the way to go it seems is for a solid case, rather than the current boil in the bag I have. This then gives the ability to add strobe arms ect..

 

Problem #1 - the only housing I can find for the 6900 is made by Zillion in Japan.

Problem #2 - I talked with Zillion briefly and they will not ship the case out of Japan. this is due to the casing not being poly coarbonate and hence a possibilty of damage during shipping.

 

Problem #3 - the wal is an attachment to the lens on the body, so the casing would have to allow for extra length and width... Else I will be forced to use the incorporated lens only.

 

So what I would like to know, is there a company out there that makes a solid housing for my camera ??

 

Or am I doomed for buying the wrong camera for use u/w ? :)

You're only other choice is to have one manufactured for you. I don't know whereabouts in the world you reside, but if you are in the UK you can try Birchley Products

I have tried Birchley - nice chap...

However I got a quote for 400 UKP and that was without full functionality...

 

Also Im not really sure how a cyclindrical housing would work out.

I was actually in a similar position last year when i wanted to house my Fuji 4900 and ended up selling the camera and £5k later have the set up i now have. You may just have to bite the bullet and buy one of the Olympus range of digitals which have a good choice of housings.

I sold up my FUJIFILM S602 ZOOM when zillion replied there would not have any housing and joined Olympus family since then... :)

 

Except you are going digital SLR, underwater choice for Fuji is too limited
