TRV900...still excellent choice for underwater.

looks/sounds like a buy to me, how much for it?

I assume you already checked this:

- comes from first owner who is an amateur / prosumer.
- records a FULL 60min tape...no dropouts when playback on the same cam AND on another camera

- housing looks like it was frequently rinsed after usage in saltwater
- housing does not show failures/probs on ANY electronic control...if one control shows problems, the other controls are likely to fail soon due to Amphibico's construction details

HTH,

I know several folks who use essentially this TRV-900 rig and are very satisfied with it. Some are live-aboard-cruise dive boat videographers so they get much use. Some like the TRV-900 better than the later -950.

I personally am a fan of the Amphibico housings with electronic controls on the handles. Have had about 3 over the years, and very satisfied with them

Cheers.........Dan
