Watershot has announced their new WDS-450D housing for the Canon 450D/XSi Rebel/Kiss X2 DSLR's.

This housing comes at quite hr affordable pricepoint. The Watershot is made from machined aluminum housing and is ergonomically designed allowing all functions easily accessible for all users.

The standard WDS-450D Kit features a Standard Flat Port, 18-55mm zoom gear, 2x optical ports for external strobe connectivity (optional electrical sync port coming soon), Watershot bayonet port system for easy port removal/replacement, hand strap, removable camera tray, water leak sensor, and full access of controls.

Watershot has developed a unique zoom/focus gear system that utilizes a flash shroud. This shroud prevents the possibility of ghosting by blocking light from the camera’s internal flash.

The WDS-450D Kit is a good housing system system for those that want to take the plunge from a pocket digicam to a pro system without the price, yet will still satisfy the more pro photographers with the durability and quality of a machined aluminum housing with a full control set.

The WDS-450D is compatible with any strobe that can be optically slaved via a fiber optic cable. The WDS-450D is compatible with Sea & Sea’s DS-TTL on the YS-110a strobe and INON’s S-TTL on the Z-240, D-2000, and S-2000 strobes.

Wathershot’s electrical sync port option (coming soon) will allow electrical strobe connectivity to a variety of strobes on the market.
