MARELUX MX-TG6 Underwater Camera Housing

MARELUX MX-TG6 Underwater Housing

The MX-TG6 housing was developed for users of the Olympus TG-6 and TG-7 cameras who want to go beyond the limitations of polycarbonate housings. Machined from a solid block of aluminum, it provides superior mechanical protection and efficient heat dissipation for the electronics in tropical environments. This housing incorporates the brand’s field-proven innovations, such as the pull-to-release vacuum valve, which prevents accidental shutter releases while preparing for your underwater photo session.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is the housing compatible with the latest Olympus TG-7? Yes, the dimensions and control layout of the TG-7 are identical to those of the TG-6, allowing this camera housing to be used with both generations of cameras.

Why choose aluminum over plastic? Aluminum dissipates the camera’s internal heat more effectively, thereby limiting condensation. It is also more impact-resistant and allows you to dive to 100 meters, whereas plastic would crush under the pressure.

How does the watertightness alarm work? The housing is equipped with an electronic sensor that monitors internal pressure after the pump has created a vacuum. If the pressure rises or if a drop of water touches the sensor, a red LED lights up to alert you immediately.
