Seafrogs housing for FUJI XT3?

Hey guys,

I have a Fuji XT3 with a 10-24mm F4, 23mm 1.4, and 56mm 1.2. Im looking for an affordable dive/surf housing for this equipment. I found the Seafrogs underwater housing online and it is an affordable price. It also will accommodate all three lenses I have with the one dome port which Is great but at the same time I'm hesitant if it will still be as good quality. I was looking at the Aquatech housings but in order to get full functions its shockingly more expensive for their housings. I am hesitant to buy the Seafrogs housing because I haven't heard much about the company or its products and I don't want to simply buy it because its cheaper and get a lesser product in the long run.

I will be using the housing for snorkeling and surf photography.

So all that being said, any advice thoughts or recommendations on what to do from people with more experience than me I'm open. Thank you!

Here is the link for the housing I'm looking at

I’ve had four Seafrogs/Meikon housings and numerous ports and domes over the last several years for Sony a7Rii, a7Riii, and a6500. Put about 100 dives on them in total from the Red Sea to Papua New Guinea.  Depths to 120 ft. They all worked fine.

The more recent designs with zoom gears and vacuum ports have controls that seem to work better and more accurately than the older designs. Appears they’re putting effort into the engineering.

i had considered the leading brands, machined from aluminum block, but the prices for the housings, ports, and controls were way too high for me.

Especially for your application, I think the Seafrogs/Meikon case would work fine.
