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.

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.

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.
