Light & Motion shows prototype Tetra 5060 housing

by Craig Jones

Light & Motion continues their innovation in underwater digital photography with the introduction of the Tetra 5060 Underwater Housing for the 5 megapixel Olympus 5060 digital camera. The Olympus C-5060 was chosen "Best Buy" in its class by PC World; with 5 megapixels and excellent storage capabilities it is a great choice for topside and underwater photography.


The Tetra 5060 is a compact full featured housing that provides access to most camera controls in a user friendly layout. Housing provides access to the LCD screen for instant feedback and accurate subject composition.  Multiple lens options are available including a specific Wide Angle Dome that maximizes the Olympus 5060 lens to deliver an astounding 95 degrees of coverage. For the little critters, opt for the wetmate macro, underwater changeable lens system.

The Tetra 5060 includes the newest version of the ROC strobe controller.  The new ROC features a double flash exposure system that monitors and duplicates the camera pre-flash and actual flash sequence with compatible strobes. A pre-flash from the underwater strobe is a more accurate way for the camera to judge exposure; just like the camera's built in flash system.  ROC also allows for full manual exposure and provides for 12 manual adjustments o­n most TTL compatible strobes. Tetra is available as a solo housing or as a complete Travel Package system featuring o­ne or two strobes, Wetlink flash connectors, accessories and custom case. See the Tetra 5060 here.
