Subal release underwater housing for the Olympus EM1 Mark II

Published

on

The housing for the Olympus EM1 Mark II froom Subal provides access to all functions of the camera. The ergonomic Subal design and arrangement of all important elements of the housing allows easy operation of the camera without letting go of the handle. The camera is mounted on a special sled to mount the camera with precision in the housing – this allows for a faster and more secure mounting.

A 4 mm O-ring and the new Subal locking system prevents accidental crushing of the O-ring, and ensures maximum safety. Threaded holes at the base allow attaching Rails, etc. Pilot lights can be attached or mounted to the top shoe. The monitor window provides a glare-free and high-contrast insight on the camera monitor.

Material selection, processing, surface protection and finish conform to the usual standard level of quality that is expected from all Subal products. Subal offers 3 different viewfinders for this housing model: the standard viewfinder slimmed reduces the viewfinder image so that it can fully be overlooked, even whilst wearing a diving mask.

Technical data

Seawater resistant aluminum alloy worked from the block. Hard Coating and corrosion treatment is applied to the surface of the housing. In addition, 3 layers of powder coated paint is applied to give the housing the Subal color and unique finish. All parts are made of hard-anodized light alloy, acid-resistant stainless steel and high quality plastics to endure all working conditions. Features the Subal locking system.

British shark specialists Dan Abbott and Sarah Roberts take to the seas in All the Sharks, a major new reality TV series on Netflix.

This six-part competition follows the pair as they go head-to-head against three teams across six stunning global locations, in pursuit of the world’s most elusive sharks. With points awarded for each species spotted, Dan and Sarah must seek out elusive and unusual sharks to stay ahead in the race.

Featuring rare encounters and firsthand accounts from those on the frontlines of marine conservation, All the Sharks is an action-packed, family-friendly series that combines intense competitor drama with heart-racing underwater adventures. Underwater cinematographer and UK shark guide Dan Abbott reflects: “This series has taken us to some of the remotest parts of the world, sharing the water with iconic species.

The sharks we encountered are unique, misunderstood and many of them, completely unknown. Shining a spotlight on these incredible animals will help people appreciate them in a whole new way.” Eco journalist, author and presenter Sarah Roberts, says.

The pair are no strangers to global adventure, having collaborated closely for seven years, with Dan typically behind the camera and Sarah in front. Their projects have taken them from the icy Arctic to tiger tracking in Indonesia. Along the way, they’ve encountered alligators and venomous snakes. But this venture is regarded as their wildest yet.

Throughout filming, Dan and Sarah captured footage of as many rare sharks as possible, using their extensive experience to maintain a respectful approach to all shark encounters and ensure minimal disturbance.

The series arrives at a time of growing interest in shark conservation in UK waters, where sightings of basking and blue sharks are growing, making the British connection to these incredible animals more relevant than ever.

All the Sharks is streaming now on Netflix.
