Light & Motion Titan SLR housing
Light & Motion continues to move forward in Underwater Digital Photography with the introduction of Titan, Digital SLR Photo Housing. Titan is a professional housing that ushers in a new class of underwater digital photography. The Titan housing provides full camera control in a user friendly layout. Housing provides access to both the optical viewfinder as well as the 1.8 LCD screen for instant feedback and accurate subject composition. Viewable data screen provides the user with all camera information. Flat port is standard and optional lenses can be changed underwater, so you will never have the right subject and the wrong lens again.
Titan includes the revolutionary ROC Strobe controller, which allows the user to obtain up to 12 manual power levels on most TTL compatible strobes. Dual strobe output control and housing shutter release are conveniently located at your finger tips enabling a seamless transition between the user and housing. Housing can be purchased as a stand alone or as a complete Travel Package system featuring one or two strobes, wetlink flash connectors, accessories and custom case.
Titan is designed for the Olympus E-20n and E-10n SLR Digital Cameras. The Olympus E-20 is a 5 megapixel SLR that includes a 35-140mm lens, 4x optical zoom and high speed auto focus. The E-20 supports both Smart Media and Compact Flash which provide massive storage capabilities that enable the user to save hundreds of high resolution images. Click here for more information.
