Priority: Size and Weight
The Seatool 40D underwater housing for the Canon EOS 40D is machined from pure, solid blocks of
aluminum to produce a light weight yet rugged package that will offer many years of service,
yet keep weight to a minimum.
Small and light enough to hand carry on aircraft, it's the perfect tool for the
travelling diver faced with strict airline weight restrictions.
At just 170g (6oz.) underwater weight with camera & lens*, the Seatool 40D offers exceptional underwater
balance and can easily be held with just one hand.

Priority: Ergonomics
Because the housing body conforms so closely to the camera, the housing attains nearly neutral buoyancy
(slightly negative) for effortless underwaterhandling handling.
It also means that all camera controls are
placed withing easy reach, even for divers with small hands. You will discover the command dials and shutter release to be exactly
where you expect them to be for effortless operation.

The Seatool 40D offers three viewfinder options:
- A 0.8x Pickup Viewfinder which is a reducing optic that allows corner to corner viewing
- A 45° Inon Magnifying Viewfinder which is great for keeping the photographer up off of the reef while
shooting low angle macro subjects.
- A 180° Inon Magnifying Viewfinder which combined with the exceptional viewfinder of the 40D, makes macro photography a breeze.
