Introducing the XA35
Congratulations on owning a new Gates product: the XA35 housing. You’ve selected a
product that will provide years of value and reliable service. We designed the XA35
specifically for the Canon XA35, XA30 / HF-G40 and Canon XA25, XA20 and HF-G30
digital video cameras.
Please read through this entire guide to learn about the housing so you can get the most
out of this imaging tool. In this section, we’ll introduce you to the features of the XA35 so
you can get started.

The XA35 has several key features:
Small and Travel-friendly.
At just a few pounds, the XA35 packs easily into your
luggage or dive gear.

Gates legendary reliability is inherent in the XA35:
machined aluminum shell, stainless hardware and reliable mechanical controls.
Precision optics.
The XA35 allows the use of a variety of ports including Wide and
Macro.
Professional Imaging.
The XA35 system includes many features for broadcast TV
and other professional uses.
Warranty Disclaimer
The XA35 is a tool that, like any tool, requires knowledge and understanding to be
effective.
Your responsibility is to learn the proper setup, use and care of the XA35. Because we
can only provide you with the information necessary to do so, Gates does not warrant
the contents of your housing (e.g. your camera and lenses) under any circumstance.
For the same reasons, Gates does not warrant optical performance or image quality.
We warrant the XA35 as an image acquisition tool for a period of 2 years. The optional
Seal Check unit is warranted for 1 year. Optics are warranted for a period of 1 year or
100 hours water contact, whichever comes first.
If you have any questions about the setup, use and care of the XA35, contact Gates
directly. Details are in section 5.
