Sea & Sea MDX-PRO Mark III underwater housing review

by Eric Cheng Monday, March 17th, 2008

BONUS: Video of the assembled Sea & Sea MDX-PRO Mark III / Canon 1D Mark III / 2 x Ikelite DS-125 strobes firing at 10 frames per second on 1/8th power for around 18 seconds. We looked at the images from the burst, and not a single frame was dark. This setup is incredible!

One of the nice features on the new Sea & Sea MDX housings is the ability to manually focus macro lens from the zoom control knob. The zoom control knob is on the left side of the housing and easily reachable while your hand is on the grip.
