Light & Motion Bluefin HC3 now shipping Can't Post
The HD Revolution is marching on with the introduction of the BlueFin HC3. Housing size and weight continue to shrink as performance improves. An advanced new control set allows the user to access the touch screen menu to provide for One-Touch White Balance, Tele Macro Mode and Smooth Slow Motion. This is a great time to be shooting underwater video. learn more...

Will that work with the HC1?

The Bluefin housing is slightly different for the Sony HC1. You can see the details for the HC1 housing here.

Thanks for asking. :-) Barrett

looks like the HC1 housing does not give you access to the touch screen, I was curious about how that works through that housing?

The HC1 does not allow access to the touch screen b/c the HC1 has more "manual controls" than the HC3. For instance the exposure control and the tele-macro are accessed by manual buttons from the housing. I don't know if you've bought a camera already or not, but the A1U which the "pro" version of the HC1 also allows one push white balance control. -Barrett

Thanks Barrett. Yes, I purchased that camera a few months ago before I started thinking about underwater video. I also have the FX1 and the Z1U but I think it might be best to try to stay with the smaller housings, at least that is what I've heard so far. Travelling light being the key. I looked at the prices on the website but did not see the pricing for the travel package for the HC1. I would be interested in how much that package is and what is all included. Also, any additional equipment that may be useful but not included.
