Underwater Camera Equipment
I am now shooting with a Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH4 mirrorless micro four thirds camera in a Nauticam NA-GH4 housing. With this I shoot UHD 4K video. I have a variety of lenses and ports for this system to allow me to shoot from wide angle to super macro and everything in between.
With this rig I have an Xit 404 tripod with twist-lock legs, a pair of FIX Neo 1000 DX SW II lights for macro work, a pair of Keldan Video 4X lights and a Dive and See DNC-7A(H1) underwater monitor.
