Products: PortsIn addition to lenses, ports are the most important component in an underwater housing system. Aquatica ports have been used across the film and photography industry, in both the analog and digital age, for the past 25 years, and with good reason. Construction quality, image and color accuracy, and sharpness, coupled with their affordability, make Aquatica ports both reliable and of superior quality. There are two basic port designs to consider – dome ports and flat ports. Dome ports are generally used with wide-angle and fisheye lenses, while the flat ports are used with macro lenses. Aquatica has four different dome ports available, ranging in diameter size from as small as 4” to as large as 9.25.” There are three flats ports to suit your specific macro needs. Installing an Aquaitca port is easy. All Aquatica ports have a bayonet mount for quick lens changes in the field. For the last few years, Aquatica housings have been manufactured with a built in port lock. To install a port, simply press the housing port lock button and rotate the port 90 degrees, then release the button. Reverse the procedure to remove a port. It’s that simple. All our ports can be used in conjunction with extension rings, which are sometimes necessary in order to accommodate longer barrel lenses or, very importantly, to locate the optical center of the dome for optimal performance. Refer to each housings specific lens chart to see if an extension rings is required for your specific lens. An extension to the port-locking collar is available to secure the port to the extension ring (the extension is locked in place by the housing locking mechanism).
