It comes with a SUPER WIDE ANGLE lense, an (non HD, external monitor), all function buttons instaled, plus the HVX200A Camera, with 2 x P2 BLUE LINE 32GB memory cards and a hard case (Storm Case iM2750). Few minor scratches on the top of the lense (check photos).

Questions i got till now:

 

1) Did you buy the housing from new?

 

Yes i bought it new and i am the only owner/operator - used it 10 times approx. for snorkeling at a nearby reef

 

2) Is there anything that needs to be noted regarding the housing?

 

The user 1 knob has been damaged after normal maintenance (un/screwing the screws to checkup the know just broke)

 

I did order a screw with an oring to close the threat as i never used it my self and i doubt anyone would want to! There is no Distributor here in Cyprus that i could take it to in order to as a new knob in case anyone needs it.

 

3) Do you send the package to the UK?

 

I have included super fast shipping method 2-5 days within EU for this package with EMS Datapost which is like Parcelforce fast service. I will insure the package also.

 

4) What kind of payment methods do you accept?

 

I accept money bank transfer. I can also accept paypal (which i usually use for smaller transactions) payment but since the fees are too high they need to be covered on the buyers side.

 

 

 

 

That's all for now,

 

Philios.

Hello

 

Your ad says it's a Gates HVX200 Housing, but an HVX200A camera. Can you please clarify this, becuase the HVX200A model camera; does not fit with the HVX200 housing......it only fits the Gates HVX200A housing (the front bulkheads are different dimensions).

 

Also, could you clarify which Superwide Port this is: Is it the SWP44, or the SWP44C ?

 

Thank You.

Hi there,

 

Both are HVX200, sorry my bad.

 

The lens is a SWP44C.

 

Thanks for your interest and anything you need please don't hesitate to ask.

Now I'm really confused.

 

The SWP44-C: Goes with the HVX200 A camera and housing..... not the straight HVX 200.

 

The Super-Wide Port you have, should be the SWP44; NOT the SWP44C.

 

Can you please confirm exactly, the equipment you have for sale. There are significant differences between the 200; and the 200A models, and it's unclear which system you have for sale.

 

Thanks

If you have a regular Gates HVX200 housing then your superwide is the SWP44. If you have a HVX200A housing then you will have a SWP44C port. They are not interchangeable.

Hello all,

Now I'm really confused.

I asked gates customer services just to be sure, here is the answer,

Here is the info you need:

 

The HVX200 HOUSING takes the SWP44 which is no longer made.

The HVX200A housing takes the SWP44C which is a current product (retails for

$5119.00)

 

The difference had to do with the field of view on the camera (which is

something like 5 degrees wider on the A) and the set back of the camera

inside the housing itself.

 

The HVX200A housing supports either camera.

 

So housing will fit both, hvx200 & 200A, SWP44C is designed to fit hvx200A.

What is not said is if SWP44C will fit on hvx200, which is supposed to be 3.4mm more long in wide angle position. I guess it should fit but not sure.

If someone find the answer i'm interested as an hvx200 owner.

cheers

Paul
