Introducing the XA25
Congratulations on owning a new Gates product: the XA25 housing. You’ve selected a
product that will provide years of value and reliable service. We designed the XA25
specifically for the 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 XA25 so
you can get started.
Features
The XA25 has several key features:
Small and Travel-friendly.
At just a few pounds, the XA25 packs easily into your
luggage or dive gear.
‘Bulletproof’ construction.
Gates legendary reliability is inherent in the XA25:
machined aluminum shell, stainless hardware and reliable mechanical controls.
Precision optics.
The XA25 allows the use of a variety of ports including Wide and
Macro.
Professional Imaging.
The XA25 system includes many features for broadcast TV
and other professional uses.
Warranty Disclaimer
The XA25 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 XA25. 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 XA25 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 XA25, contact Gates
directly. Details are in section 5.
