BLUEFIN HC7 specifications

The Light & Motion BLUEFIN HC7 is an advanced underwater housing designed specifically for the HERO 7 camera, combining rugged durability with exceptional functionality. This housing is ideal for underwater filmmakers and photographers seeking to capture stunning high-definition content beneath the surface.

One of the standout features of the BLUEFIN HC7 is its robust construction, crafted from high-quality aluminum, which offers outstanding resistance to corrosion and wear. This makes it particularly suited for saltwater environments, ensuring longevity and reliability during extended underwater sessions. Furthermore, the housing is depth-rated to an impressive 60 meters, making it perfect for adventures involving deep dives or aquatic exploration.

The BLUEFIN HC7 integrates cutting-edge optical technology designed to maximize image quality. It employs a premium optical glass lens port that minimizes distortion and reflections. This allows users to achieve crisp and clear images, particularly in challenging underwater lighting conditions. Additionally, the housing supports the HERO 7’s advanced features, including 4K video resolution and HyperSmooth stabilization, enabling the capture of smooth, professional-grade footage.

Another key characteristic of the BLUEFIN HC7 is its user-friendly design. The housing includes easily accessible control buttons, allowing easy navigation through camera settings while underwater. This feature is particularly important for capturing spontaneous moments or adjusting settings on the fly without the need to remove the camera from the housing.

To further enhance versatility, the BLUEFIN HC7 offers multiple mounting options, accommodating a range of accessories such as lights and external microphones. This flexibility enables users to customize their setups based on specific shooting conditions or creative needs, helping to elevate the overall production quality of their underwater content.

Moreover, the BLUEFIN HC7 boasts an integrated buoyancy feature that allows the housing to float, reducing the risk of losing equipment in the water. This element is invaluable for maintaining peace of mind during underwater excursions.

Overall, the Light & Motion BLUEFIN HC7 embodies a harmonious blend of durability, functionality, and innovation, making it an excellent choice for any serious underwater videographer or photographer. With its extensive range of features and thoughtful design, it stands out as a leading solution in the realm of underwater imaging technology.
