As the above video illustrates how the Outex underwater housing system works universally for different camera and lens brands, makes, and models. The flexible, tactile-rich cover waterproofs the camera and lens body, while allowing for complete functional control over all buttons, dials, and knobs. Combined with the front and rear optical glass ports, the patented seal mechanism creates a waterproof housing that delivers the best optical results (glass instead of acrylic), and full use of the camera in any environmental condition, including underwater.

Why Outex Is the Best Underwater Housing System
The Outex ecosystem of products (Covers, Front Glass Ports, Rear Glass Port, Glass Domes) and add-on accessories (Tripod, Lighting, Strobes, Triggers, Remotes, Tethering, Pistol Grip, Straps, etc.) are modular products and work together as a system. They can be configured in multiple ways interchangeably into kits - like LEGOS, so you can mix and match covers, ports, and accessories as you wish to meet your configuration needs. All of the products are mutually compatible, so you can add components over time as those needs change and evolve over time.
Outex works for all camera brands and types: DSLR, Mirrorless, Film, Medium-Format, and Video. The covers and glass ports work together to create the patented waterproof seal the user can control. So you can ensure the seal is commensurately appropriate for your use, whether it's a time-lapse in rainfall or a choppy surf break photoshoot.
