This new housing is compatible
with the Sony a6500, a6300
and a6000. It works with SA8
series accessories, but also
features two ergonomic thumb
grips on the rear of the housing

be outfi tted with strobe con-
nectors or a vacuum system.7 OLYMPUS TOUGH TG- 6

The latest in a line of ultra-
durable compact cameras
features a number of updates.
The TG-6 has three separate
underwater white-balance
modes for more accurate color.
Microscope mode, focus stack-
ing and focus bracketing have
also been made more readily
available for macro shooters,
and the improved 1.04 million-
dot LCD display makes it easy
to compose shots.8 ULTRALIGHT CONTROL
SYSTEM GOPRO TRAY
(TR-GPD) AND HANDLE
(TR-DHB)
$128.85; ulcs.com
We’ve seen plenty of divers
hand-holding their GoPros—but
there’s a better way. This light-
weight aluminum tray comes
with two detachable handles
to build the foundation of your
underwater rig. Cameras with
tripod threads can be mounted
directly to the tray, but a tripod
mount is included so you can
easily attach a GoPro or similar
action camera with little effort. FROM^TOP:^COURTESYSEALIFECAMERAS;^COURTESYSEA&SEA;^COURTESYOLYMPUS;^COURTESYULTRALIGHT^ CONTROLSYSTEM5
