The Salted Line A6XXX Housing, featuring a 4-inch Optical Glass 4'' Medium Flat Port bundle, is ideal for both prime and zoom lenses when capturing images at the water's surface. Although suitable for underwater photography and videography, keep in mind that a flat port can reduce your lens's angle of view by up to 28% underwater. For wide-angle and fisheye lenses, a dome port is recommended.
This housing provides full control of all camera functions (excluding the touchscreen) and is equipped with an 80mm bayonet mount, compatible only with the flat and dome ports made exclusively for the Salted Line A6xxx and RX1xx camera housings.
The control buttons feature a 50% increase in spring stiffness, providing superior tactile feedback for precise control. Whether you're into underwater or surf photography, this housing offers enhanced durability, functionality and precision, making it the ideal choice for users seeking to capture stunning images in challenging environments.
