Construction
CNC machined from a single piece of billet aluminium, then anodized and painted.
All buttons and hardware are 316 stainless steel, providing superior corrosion resistance.
Grips
The housing comes standard with two Vans ODI side handles included.
Paint
The housings are anodised grey for corrosion resistance, however, you also have the option of adding a highly durable two-pack paint finish.
The paint not only provides additional corrosion protection to your housing, but also provides an opportunity to customise the look of your housing.
You get to choose your colour(s) and the options are almost endless.
Ports
Salty’s SIREN models offer a stackable bayonet port system for seamless and flexible lens changes.
The KOMODO-X Housing utilises the SIREN XL Bayonet Port System as standard, and can also be configured with a custom Titanium Nikonos Port Front.
BASE price does NOT include a mandatory port option. You cannot use the housing without at least one port.
The front element in our ports is replaceable in less than 30 seconds by simply unscrewing the locking ring and dropping in a replacement acrylic screen we offer for purchase. So no more spending hours buffing scratched ports!
