It is white on the front, top, sides, and bottom, but clear on the back so you can monitor the O-ring seal and maintain your view of the camera s rear controls. The supplied aluminum tray has a left-hand quick release grip for improved balance and handling, and offers an attachment point for an optional lighting arm.

The housing ships without a required lens port, and accepts various, interchangeable dome and flat ports for a broad array of lenses.
