The most versatile and affordable system available...

The new Top Dawg II underwater video housing is the most versatile housing on the market. Not only will it fit well over one hundred cameras, it now features the ability to shoot digital stills. Simply install any Sony TR or TRV series camera to the self-locking camera tray and slip it into the housing. Plug in the control cable to the LANC jack on the camera to access all essential camera controls. We have outfitted the housing with a new electronic panel that allows users to select the appropriate software for their camera type. This unique design will keep your Top Dawg housing compatible with hundreds of cameras.

The Top Dawg features dual o-ring seals and electro-magnetic controls to insure maximum watertight integrity. The external controls magnetically signal the housing electronics to perform camera functions without the need of extra holes and seals. Two large o-rings and precision machined surfaces seal the rear access door. For the ultimate in image quality and ease of use, check out the optional monitorback and our travel ready packages.
