    RDX-D60 Housing
    Compatible with Nikon D40 and D60 DSLR Cameras

    SEA&SEA's recently released RDX-D60 DSLR housing for the popular Nikon D60 has been tested and verified to be compatible with the Nikon D40.
    The RDX-D60 and RDX-450D (Canon Rebel XSi/450D) are the first of
    The RDX series accepts SEA&SEA's NX, CX and RDX ports systems allowing use of a variety of popular lenses along with TTL and Fiber-Optic Slave lighting options and SLR accessories.

    Features

    Two Fiber-optic cable sockets.
    Simply by connecting the Fiber-optic cable(L-type) to the socket, the light of the digital camera's built-in flash is detected and connected to an external strobe. This is considerably less complicated than setting up an electrical connector that requires detailed knowledge. It also eliminates any risks involved when the connector is submerged in water.

    Strong and durable build, with a depth rating of up to 60m / 200ft
    Althogh this housing is designed with beginners in mind, we have strived to ensure that it will satisfy even the most professional digital SLR diver-photographers, paying special attention to superb underwater performance and to its strength and solidity. After repeatedly subjecting it to exacting pressure tests, we have absolute confidence that we have achieved a compact design with a depth rating of up to 60m / 200ft.

    TTL auto adjustment available when using an optional YS Converter/N
    When using a YS Converter/N to enable the TTL auto adjustment, use a YS converter connector (5-pin connector) to connect it to a genuine SEA&SEA strobe.

    • In order to use it, a Sync Cord/N must be attached to the strobe.
    • Features a 0.5x pick-up viewfinder that makes it easy to see the whole field of view. An optional exchangeable viewfinder can be selected as well.
    • New lineup of ports includes the RDX Standard Port (for most standard zoom lenses), the RDX Port Base L (for joint use with NX-series ports) and the RDX Port Base S (for joint use with compact macro ports). Using the appropriate port base, you can use any type of existing NX ports, expanding the range of lenses that can be used.
    • Camera quick shoe for easy mounting and removal of the camera. Mounting the camera becomes a breeze.
    • New type of easily operated shutter lever, excellent for quick snapshots and to avoid motion blur. The shutter lever can be operated in two ways – pushing from the top or pulling from the front – and offers a smooth halfway press for adjusting the autofocus so you need not worry about any missed chances.
    • Large buckle structure (with lock function). Makes it easier to open and close the back cover than existing (metal) locking latches.
    • By attaching a Sea Arm or similar set to the tripod socket at the bottom of the housing, up to two external strobes can be attached and used.
    • Both the main dial and quick control dial are operable while holding the hand grips due to advanced ergonomic design.
    • Comes standard with two bulkhead connectors: one type-N connector (2-pin wired for manual) and one 6-pin wired connector (for dedicated TTL).
    • Compatible with the Shutter-activated Focus Light (optional, factory modification is required).
    • When using the optional Grip-Stay L, you can hold the camera firmly with both hands just as you can with conventional housings.
    • Strong and durable build, with a depth rating of up to 60m / 200ft.
