In addition to improved underwater use the RX0 Dome Port makes it possible to capture images both above and below the water simultaneously. These are often referred to as half and half, 50/50, over under or split-level pictures. Until now one would need to invest thousands of dollars in high-end camera equipment in order to create these images. Even with the best gear producing quality over under results would be a challenge due to the complexity of focus, exposure and depth of field management. The RX0 Dome Port paired with the Sony RX0 overcomes all of this. The simplicity of operation, nearly infinite depth of field, wide-angle lens and video/still image quality make the Sony RX0 perfectly suited for this application. Just slide the Dome Port onto the Sony RX0 and produce stunning imagery above, below and in-between.
The RX0 Dome Port utilizes a semi-hemispherical acrylic dome that we have custom made just for KNEKT. The use of a semi-hemispherical dome eliminates the perpendicular angle between the backing plate and the dome. The benefits of this are the elimination of circular reflection and improved water sheeting while reducing the form factor and maintaining full front face surface area. By utilizing an interlocking two-piece design the dome is captured mechanically to create an O-ring compression seal, no glue or silicone is used anywhere. This design allows the dome to be fully disassembled for cleaning and service. If the acrylic is scratched or cracked it can be replaced. The RX0 Dome Port works with the Sony RX0ii and does not require any special modifications or separate accessories. The RX0 Dome Port provides access to all of the camera’s buttons while installed. There is also a custom machined waterline indicator on the backing plate to assist in getting the perfect over under shot.
The RX0 Dome Port can be used as a stand-alone product, it does not require the use of a handle or trigger to function. The RX0 Dome Port is compatible with the RX0PGT Pistol Trigger.
