Best underwater housing for dvx100a?

Does anybody on this board use the dvx100 for underwater video?

So far I've found zero u/w footage shot with the dvx, can anybody help me out here?

I'd like to think the panny is a extraordinary camera for u/w shots, due to its wideangle, sensitivity and progressive scan. Still there's only two companies making housings, sealux.de and equinox.

The equinox housing looks a bit like plastic, and has a plastic domeport. I've also heard something about vignetting on the Equinox.

The sealux housing seems pretty solid, but a bit pricey.

It's seems a bit sketchy to order a expensive housing overseas, without seeing or testing it first...
 
I absolutely will. But it won't be for a while, probably 6 months.
 
So it seems that Equinox is the only company making uw-housings for the panny dvx100.

Sealux has quit making the housing, and has sold out it's stock.

But... Gates has come out with the new hvx housing, maybe they will give equinox some competition with a new dvx housing , too?

It's real hard to believe nobody has any uw-footy with the panny dvx100. Come on people!
 
I got my equinox from a friendly DVXuser member and here's some pics for your viewing pleasure.

I enhanced the contrast, color saturation and added a little red in the post.

I can't focus during full zoom. When I put to auto focus, it stays on macro so I suspect the focus plane is on the lens port.

There was slight vignetting using both standard port and dome port when it can be fine tuned to minimised the effect.

Will try to find ways to post video or anyone has recommendation on where I can post video for free?
