FAQ
1. How to solve low clarity and image distortion underwater?
We adopt high-transmittance premium N-BK7 optical glass together with ultra-precision spherical polishing to reduce light refraction distortion and maintain high light transmittance for clear underwater imaging.
2. How to prevent water leakage under deep sea high pressure?
Our dome adopts reinforced pressure-resistant spherical structural design, plus precision chamfer edge finishing to achieve tight fit with camera housing and reliable long-term waterproof sealing.
3. How to avoid lens fogging and surface abrasion in marine environment?
We provide optional anti-fog coating and anti-scratch hard coating, which can effectively eliminate internal fogging and resist seawater corrosion & surface scratch damage for long service life.
4. Do you support prototype testing and mass bulk supply?
Prototype samples with MOQ 1 piece are available for equipment performance testing. We also support medium and large mass production batches, every finished dome will pass full optical inspection before shipment.
Production & Delivery Lead Time
