OLYMPUS PT-051UNDERWATER HOUSING TG610/810
The Olympus PT-051 Underwater Housing for TG-610 / TG-810 is a durable polycarbonate waterproof case for the Olympus Tough Series TG-610 and TG-810 waterproof digital cameras. While your TG series camera can already be safely used down to a depth of 16' (5 m), this housing is depth rated to 131' (40 m), allowing you to go way deeper. All camera functions are fully accessible through the housing, which also features a detachable LCD hood for your camera's display screen. The PT-051 has neutral buoyancy underwater and comes with a screw mount for converter lenses and filters, which are sold separately. Accessory lenses can enhance your underwater photography experience by allowing you to get better close-up shots with greater magnification, or by giving you a wider angle of coverage. Color correction filters help replace some of the reds, oranges and more natural tones that tend to get lost beneath the surface, ensuring that your images appear vibrant and accurate. The camera's built-in flash can be used within the housing to trigger a digital compatible underwater slave for improved lighting. A standard tripod socket permits the attachment of a lighting tray, giving you the option of attaching accessory arms for versatile, adjustable lighting. The PTAC-08 Adapter (sold separately) is required in order to attach your TG-610 camera to the PT-051 housing, and the PTAC-09 Adapter (sold separately) is required in order to attach the TG-810.

- Comments about Olympus PT-051 Underwater Housing for TG-610 / TG-810:
- So far I really enjoy the housing and the ease of control of the buttons are awesome compared to ikelite housings I've had on other cameras.Also the design of the body makes it very easy to hold and operate even with gloves on.Only thing that bugged me was in the product description it tells you you will need these adapters depending on your camera model and they are sold seperately.Fact of the matter is that they are sold seperately,but one of each are included in the box.So no need to order seperatly like I did.
- Was this a gift?:No
- Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
