Fantasea Releases Updated Housings for Nikon D50 and D70(s)

FD-50N Waterproof Housing

November 1, 2006 -- Fantasea Line, distributor of the world's most popular and affordable underwater photographic products, announces the release of the new FD-50N housing, an upgraded version of its FD 50 housing. Improved features include: embedded optical view finder, improved trigger/shutter control system, new port mounting system and zoom lens capability.

The FD-50N underwater camera housing is designed exclusively for the Digital SLR Nikon D-50. The Fantasea FD-50N is a compact, lightweight, injection molded polycarbonate housing with ergonomically designed handles, making it easy to hold and use. The FD-50's interchangeable port system accommodates a wide variety of SLR lenses, allowing photographers to capture the widest variety of superior underwater images.

The Fantasea FD-50N is more than just an underwater camera housing since it provides protection for the D-50 against damage from rain, snow, dust, sand and dirt. It is a valuable tool for many commercial, industrial, and medical applications, because it is resistant to most liquids and sprays.

The FD-50N housing features a unique o-ring and gasket seal and is rated to a depth of 200 feet (60m). The D-50 "slides" into the FD-50N housing on a specially designed tray. Once inside the housing the latching buckles on the back door are snapped shut sealing the system with a sound watertight seal.

Among the key features and controls for the FD-50N housing:

  • On/Off
  • Mode Select
  • Menu
  • ISO
  • Exposure Compensation
  • White Balance
  • Image Quality Controls
  • Zoom Control for Standard Lens Port
