I have been using Easydive equipment for over ten years and my relationship with the company has become one of solid friendship as well as esteem and respect for the dynamism and futuristic vision with which Fabio Benvenuti and his entire team work. I use a Leo 2, a Leo 3 a Leo wi and the latest Leo3 Smart. A professional cannot afford to return from a trip without the work done, there can be no technical problems; with Easydive housings I can carry only one housing and three-four camera bodies and in ten years I have never had any problem alternating Nikon and Canon and Mirrorless Sony cameras inside the Case. A Team that listens and solves every request with professionalism. Since I use Easydive ... I leave and sleep peacefully!
