Ever wondered how an underwater housing gets machined?

We recently visited our machinists to get a closer look at our Sony FX5 housing taking shape.

Each housing begins as a solid block of aluminum, which is gradually shaped through a series of CNC machining operations. Cutting tools progressively remove material to form the housing’s internal cavity, walls, and other features, achieving the dimensions and tolerances specified in the design.

Throughout the process, cutting fluid (shown in the video) helps keep the tools cool and lubricated while washing away aluminum chips.

Here’s a little behind-the-scenes look at that process, before the housing moves on to the next stages of production.

We recently visited our machinists to get a closer look at our Sony FX5 housing taking shape.

Throughout the process, cutting fluid (shown in the videos) helps keep the tools cool and lubricated while also washing away aluminum chips.

Our 8” Glass Dome for the Fujifilm X100VI is back for Batch 05!

We first launched these glass domes in July. You liked them, so we’re doing another run.

The port is designed/positioned specifically for the X100VI’s fixed 23mm f/2 lens, and also accommodates the Fujifilm WCL-X100 II Wide Conversion Lens.

The element is made of K9 optical glass and finished with an internal anti-reflective coating to help reduce unwanted reflections.

A CNC-machined aluminum sunhood provides physical protection for the glass element and helps minimize stray light.

If you’re looking for the ultimate optical companion for your X100VI setup, this is the one.

Why do we work in batches?
We’re a small team manufacturing specialized camera housings here in Australia. Producing in batches allows us to plan our machining runs, minimize material waste, and give each housing the time and attention it needs during assembly and testing.

Do we have housings in stock?
Yes! We also carry a small selection of ready-to-ship housings. Right now, we’ve got RED Komodo-X, Canon R5 II, Blackmagic 6K, and a few Nikon ZR housings available.

When is your next batch?
We’re planning to open Batch 06 in December, with deliveries expected in February 2027.

Explore the full lineup and secure your spot in Batch 05 through the link in our bio.

See you in the water.

Since 2022, Salty has worked alongside artist and creative to develop .

Formed by a collective vision and forged through extensive testing and iteration, everything we do is grounded in bringing our ideas to life. Solving problems. Pushing each creation further than the last.

Here is an ode to some of our latest builds for Leica camera systems. Each piece is shaped by time through considered refinement and extensive hands-on use.

A glimpse of what’s next, in the final frame.
More to come.
