( Camera and Lens not included )

The exotic Canon GL2 digital camcorder proves to be a very satisfactory installation in our mid-size cylindrical housing. Optional WD-58H wide angle lens from Canon must be installed on the camera to operate in this housing.

IMPORTANT NOTICE:
There are now two different lenses being marketed under the product number "WD-58H". These lenses are not interchangeable, and use of this housing requires the correct lens. Refer to photos at the bottom of this page to identify the correct lens.

The #6042 housing features:

  • Optical glass port
  • Power on/off
  • Recording start/stop
  • Zoom control
  • Manual focus
  • White balance
  • CSTM key / preset
  • Focus lock / ND filter
  • Photo Snapshot button
  • Record to tape or card control
  • SuperEye viewfinder magnification
  • Removable external UR/Pro Filter

External UR/Pro filter and Video Eye viewfinder magnifier are included. The base removes instantly with a unique toggle clamp for traveling or attaching of the optional Pro Video Light and battery.

The "Clearly Superior" design provides full view of the camcorder information, control functions, and assurance the system is safe. You can see the case is properly sealed.

The housing is constructed of 6.5" outside diameter clear acrylic tubing shrouded with cast aluminum end caps for strength and trouble-free performance. Complete housing measures 14.5" long, 12" wide with the handle assembly, and 11" high including the removable base and top carrying handle.

Housing weighs 18 pounds; 22 pounds with the camera and lens installed.
