Scuba Diving, Underwater Housing for GH1
- Thread starter JackF
- Start date
Besides the Seatool housing mentioned by xenogears, there's also one by Nautilus. The problem though is where to get them? AFAIK, they're both only available in Japan.
Supposedly, Dive Ross, an Italian company, also has a housing that can be used for the GH1 (see their chart of compatible cameras for their DRP200 housing)?
Note that I've got no idea about the quality or practical functionality of these housings. Alternatively, you might also consider getting a GF1 for your underwater needs, as there seems to be more housing choices for that camera, e.g. by 10Bar and Inon (due soon?), besides Seatool and Nautilus.
The most affordable micro-four-thirds underwater setup I'm aware of is the Olympus E-PL1 inside an Olympus PT-EP01 housing. The latter has a fixed port though (meant for Olympus' M Zuiko Digital ED 14-42mm and 9-18mm lenses).

Dear Thierry i have the housing from Diveross model DPR100 for the GH1 .
Is a robust , light and easy to use housing .
There is all the command , but not the ON-OFF and the rotating control for af-manual focus
But i take the internal kit for motorized zoom control , very useful !
To use the zoom 14-140 must buy the sferic +elongation set .
If you have other question ..write .
Escuse me for my english !!

What is the price for that DRP200? I believe you don't have a shop/reseller in Finland, so I can order it straight from factory?

I do not know if there is a vendor in Finland , but i asked via email where i buy if they can sell to you .
My combination for GH1 is constituited of 1 housing + 1 sferical + prolungation + zoom electrical kit = 1250 euros !
This combination is perfect using the original lens zoom 14-140 !
Remember that the internal strobe is not usable , and that there is not the comand for manual or autofocus , so is possible to use only autofocus , so is needed one external light or one external strobe using the connector ( nikon type ) .
You can conctact the seller that i know in Milan .
Its email is giorgio@sportissimomilano.com
If do you have other question , ask !
