OVERVIEW
The AquaTech Pocket Wizard housing allows you to use your Pocket Wizard in and around
the water. Based on the cable used inside your housing, it can either
• Fire strobes remotely (using PC Sync cable) • Remotely fire the camera
(using Cable Release)
Depending on your objective and version of your housing, your housing
may require rewiring
by AquaTech
to enable full functionality. This involves rewiring so that either the PC Sync cable
or Cable release may be connected.

1) Most Pocket Wizards cannot transmit/receive a signal underwater.
Thus, the Pocket Wizard housing must float at the surface to work properly.
2) AquaTech Sport Housings cannot accommodate the PC Sync cable as shipped and
thus will require custom wiring by AquaTech. To fire the camera remotely, you should
not require rewiring if your housing has a cable release hardwired inside.
Please contact us with any questions.
3) If you are having trouble fitting the antenna through the gland, use the grease from your
housing kit (or any silicone based grease) to lubricate
OVERVIEW
The AquaTech Flash Housing allows you to use your professional Canon or Nikon flash in and
around the water. These housings have been control tested and water tested down to a depth
of 10m (30 feet). Full controls of the flash on the backplate enable you to change settings
while in the water.
FEATURES

Piston Style O-ring

Flash Hot Shoe

Flash mount

Camera Hot Shoe cable
– this cable connects to the inside of your Sport Housing’s Flash
Bulkhead. It then plugs into the top of your camera on the hot shoe.

1) The Flash Bulkhead on both your Sport Housing and Flash Housing comes with a black cap.
It is important that, when not in use, this black cap
be tightened firmly
. Without this, the
system is not waterproof.
2) Take care with the Camera Hot Shoe and the connection to the Flash Bulkhead – it is fragile.
