Surf Housings with Pistol Grips:
Nikon Surf Photo of the Year 2012 winner Ray Collins

"Aquatech sound blimps have revolutionised the way I work on set. The Aquatech Blimps have given me back control over my Nikons, a luxury I haven't had for 25 years!
Shooting action films access to exposure, focus points and playback is essential for me and after 25 years of relying on luck I now have total control over my Nikons again. Then add the fact the Aquatech Blimp reduces emitted sound by a further 50% over any other blimp on the market makes the AquaTech sound blimp a must have piece of equipment for any onset photographer be it big hollywood blockbusters or film school."

"Ever since picking up my grandfather’s old Nikon at the age of 14, I’ve had an interest in photography. It wasn’t until my college days that I knew photography is what I’d pursue for the rest of my life. I am a self-taught adventure, lifestyle, fly fishing and underwater photographer. My passion for the great outdoors, travel, sports, and most of all fly fishing has allowed me to shoot some truly incredible people, places and things. In addition to working many summers as a fly fishing guide in Alaska, I have photographed incredible places such as: Seychelles, Mexico, Los Roques, and many locations across the U.S.
"While I love capturing action above water, I will always take the opportunity to load my Aquatech housing up and take my camera for a swim. Underwater photography is an obsession that started while shooting images of spawning salmon in Alaska. The beautiful, clear Alaskan rivers were perfect environments to begin my journey with underwater photography. I’ve been hooked ever since."
