Standard list of items including the inclusion of the new 3.5" colour monitor back, 5 control electronic grip as found on the professional grade Phenom Z1/FX1 HD housing, glass wide angle front port, a great new look and feel, plus superior ergonomics are all excellent improvements.

As part of the standard specification Amphibico have bitten the bullet and are shipping all EVO HD HC57 ELITE video housings with the monitor built into the alloy back door. Please note that it is independently powered and does not rely on the camera at all. I like it this way. It uses 4 x AA batteries.
