Homemade Housings

Since 1999 I starting building my own housings. I was commissioned to shoot the Camel Trophy 2000 , and was given the Canon EOS1 with the Kodak DCS520 back. The camera cost �12,000 and there was no housing available.

The client asked me if I could build a housing, So I designed a custom camera housing for the assignment.

After completing the project, I bought my Hasselblad Xpan, and built the first ever Xpan housing in the world. The images were published in the Hassalblad's Forum magazine back in 2000. I have albuilt a Hassablad housing for the superb SWC camera. with the 38mm lens.

The Nikon D1 was released in 1999, and after seeing the potentional with digital I built a custom housing for the camera in 2000. To my knowledge, I was one of the first photographers to shoot a DSLR underwater in Europe (or the world!!).

In 2001 I pioneered virtual tour photography underwater using iPIX software, and created some spectacular images.

I continued using the same hosing for my D1x and in 2005, I built a new aluminum housing for the Nikon D2x. This camera has since been my work horse for all of my assignments. The housing now fit the Nikon D3, with a few changes taking just 1 hour of mods in the workshop!

In 2004 I built a 360� rotating 35mm underwater camera using a 24mm lens. The camera works well, but still need more work to finish it off.

When I am not on assignment, I film for a variety of different clients. I also build custom housing for special projects. In January 2005 I built a housing for the Sony Z1, and in spring 2006 I built a housing for a Sony HC1 rated and tested to 200m deep in a chamber. It was used on the 2007 Yolanda Wreck Project in the Red Sea to 160m 3 times, and filmed some of Herbert Nitch No-Limits freedive to 214m (700ft) dive in Greece in June 2007.

This camerahousing has now been adaped to the Sony HDR-XR520E hardrive camera, and has been adapted to film subjext for 100 hours!

When Sony released it smallest HD camera the TG3 in 2008, I built a custom housing for this model. You can view some test clip on Vimeo HERE

Spring 2009 I build a 3d housing for the Modular HD cameras. The shoot was a sucess in the Bahamas in the Spring. More to follow this Summer & Autumn.

Have a look at my housings HERE.
