XL Underwater | Waterproof | Water Housing for Nikon Cameras Discount

Please note, this product is on a 2 week lead time. 

Introduction

– The GDome XL is the perfect housing for any beginner looking to get their DSLR | Mirrorless camera into the water for the first time without breaking the bank and yet getting a comprehensive underwater housing kit that can be used for a number of different camera brands and lenses. As our housing is universal, you will not have to buy a new housing or ports as you upgrade you cameras and lenses (as long as they will fit in our housing). 

– Advanced underwater photographers videographers that already have professional kits could use the GDome XL for unique specialised camera bodies or lenses that are not compatible with their current housings or port configurations. 

– Rental houses or individuals will be able to rent out the GDome XL, given the current rental rate charged for underwater housings, this could be extremely profitable.  

The worlds first universal semi-rigid modular underwater housing. 

Yes, this is a loaded description so we will need to break it down for you so that you can really see the value of this universal underwater housing. 

When we say that the GDome XL is universal, we really do mean it! The GDome XL will work with almost any mirrorless DSLR camera right out of the box (check the internal sizing chart to confirm this as cameras like Canon 1D could be too tall for our housing). You might think this is not unique as there are a number of housings that can do this. These housings are either completely soft (made from a rubberised or PVC material)meaning that you can not add dome ports lens extensions or even lights and GoPros to the housing. Whereas the hard  housings have extremely limited functionality (no ability to change settings or functions). Our housing is considered semi-rigid as the housing and ports are injection moulded and only the rear screen is made from a flexible membrane. Having a flexible rear screen, allows us to give the user full access to the camera s rear functionality. When it comes to modularity the GDome XL is fully customisable to your camera and lenses needs. Included in the box is a 55mm port adapter with a flat lens element as well as a 40mm dome port extension adapter and dome lens element. Our 80mm extension port (Optional Extra + $49) is fully compatible with the dome port adapter if you need a further extension to your GDome XL. 

The GDome XL ships unassembled as a modular unit in order to minimise shipping costs so that we can hopefully offer you FREE SHIPPING*. You will need to configure and assemble and adapt the GDome XL Prior to using it. If you would like us to pre-configure and assemble your unit for you, it can be done at an extra cost.

Limitations

1) Our housing does have 10 rear bolts. Undoing these do take time in order for you to open and close the housing to get to your camera. While other housings may use fewer bolts (2-4) or latch systems, making it much quicker to open and close the housing, we have opted for a much lighter, thinner injection moulded backplate frame in order to reduce the weight, cost and production time of making the housing. While we could have used fewer bolts we opted to rather use more in order to ensure that your housing is sealed fully without a doubt.

2) When your camera is inside the GDome XL, you will not be able to control the zoom on your lens. Thus you will need to set the zoom when you put the camera into the housing before you close it up. 

3) The GDome XL is rated for 5m 15ft max depth, we know it can go deeper however we limit the rating for the safety of your camera. The GDome XL is not a dive housing and should not be treated as a dive housing due to the flexible rear membrane. If you would like a housing with a solid backdoor (that will be able to achieve a deeper depth), they are available (optional extra +$35), however, you will need to add your own buttons in order to get the functionality that you require. 

If you can accept the above limitations then the GDome XL is definitely the perfect housing for you. 

Compatibility 

Here is a shortlist of cameras that the GDome XL underwater housing is compatible with (please note that there are MANY MANY more compatible camera bodies! We simply can t list them all! The GDome XL will most likely work with your camera if it is not on this list, please have a look at the measurement diagram to ensure that it will be compatible with your camera body and lens configuration). The general rule of thumb is if your camera body is the same size or smaller than a Canon 5D MK4 then it will fit the the GDome XL!

For absolute peace of mind

We guarantee all of our products and our reviews stand testament to this. All units have to pass our quality control measures. We manufacture all of our products in house to ensure the best care is taken right from raw material inspection to final product testing.

The GDome XL is a waterproof housing made to be used on the surface of the water. Although we have dived to 30ft plus with the GDome XL, this was purely for testing purposes regardless of the fact it did not leak or damage the camera.

The use of the touch membrane was not designed with great depths in mind.

The GDome XL was designed with the intention of being a surface waterproof housing for depths that are not deeper than 5m or 15ft. If you are looking to go deeper, please check out the solid backdoor. 

Shipping, Customs & Duties

International distribution is something we have learned to overcome with great shipping partners.

For our USA and Australian customers, there are NO duties or taxes for orders under $600.

For other countries please note that there could be import duties and taxes and that these are NOT INCLUDED in our price.

These charges vary by country and are not in our control.

We ship the GDome XL all over the world and it is impossible for us to build the various customs charges into our website.

*Please note for FREE SHIPPING we only cover the first $40 in shipping for the GDome XL. $40 is normally enough with our discounted courier rates to get your package delivered to your door, however if you stay in a remote or outlying area, and your shipping comes to more than this amount, we will have to ask you for a co-payment to cover the difference or a different address that is more central. If you are not happy with the co-payment we will give you a full refund.
