But let's keep this as the EVO thread - there's already an Ikelite thread.

Can you change the title of the thread? I think there's going to be a lot of interest in this housing since they've now started shipping. So we would have a place to discuss this housing separately.

"Mechanical control knob & buttons for: Manual White Balance (HVR-A1 assign button), tele Macro, Expanded Focus and Exposure/Volume adjustments"

Cheers,

Should have spent more time looking !!! Still good news.

Does anyone use their white balance chart. How useful compared to a normal slate.??

DeanB,

The difference between using the White Balance Chart or a white slate is measurable. They are not inexpensive but I believe that they are worth every penny.

David:

I looked up the chart on the Amphibico website. It looks like one side is a color chart, the other side is a white slate with a focus spiral. Which side are you using to white balance ?

It looks like Amphibico has started shipping the EVO HD.

They have updated their site with an actual photo of the EVO HD instead of a drawing, and B&H shows it as in stock. Hopefully the PRO will follow soon.
