Dealing with Floods

If you work underwater long enough, at some point, you will experience the horror of a flood.

Flooding a camera and other underwater photo gear is a nightmare for all underwater image-makers. Unfortunately, if you work underwater long enough, at some point, you will experience the horror of a flood. Over the years, I have flooded a Nikonos V, a film camera, a housing, several strobes and some dive lights. I have also had minor floods on a few digital camera housings.

Hugyfot housing for Nikon Z6/7 II

All Nikon Z6/7 II camera controls can be accessed (on/off switch, shutter release, shutter speed, aperture, program dial, main dial, push buttons, lens release, FN1, and FN2). As standard, the 100m depth-rated z6/7 housing is equipped with the HugyCheck system, one M16 accessory port, two optical outlets (for two fiberoptic cables), two rigid aluminium handles with one-inch ball mounts, soft neoprene handle for one-handed photography, gearwheel drive for manual zoom or focus control, standard viewfinder, bayonet adaptor for port mounting, and a ball mount on top of the housing.
