Salted Line A6xxx Gen 3 vs New Salted Line A6xxx Gen 4 Camera Housing

Hi everyone,

If you are an underwater photographer, videographer, or surf creator, you know that the Salted Line series delivers reliable polycarbonate waterproof housings built for demanding environments. Following the recent launch of the Salted Line A6xxx Gen 4 waterproof housings, many creators want to know exactly how it compares to the older model.

The Salted Line A6xxx Gen 4 edition brings several specific improvements over the previous Salted Line A6xxx camera housing. The main difference actually lies in the redesigned backplate. These upgrades include:

  • An expanded rear LCD window for much clearer screen visibility.
  • While maintaining the proven 60-meter (195 ft) waterproof depth rating, the Gen 4 adds stronger structural resistance to hydrodynamic shock, perfect for harsh surf conditions.
  • A 70% boost in button spring stiffness, giving you much more precise tactile control underwater.
  • Improved corrosion resistance for all metallic parts.

 

Seamless 80mm Port Compatibility

 

Despite these body upgrades, the Gen 4 retains the exact 80mm bayonet mount used on the Gen 3, and all previous versions. Therefore, any port featuring an 80mm bayonet mount from your past setups will fit the new Gen 4 underwater housing perfectly.

 

Consistent Professional Features

 

Both generations continue to share the essential capabilities that make the Salted Line series stand out:

  • An Interchangeable Port System allowing quick swaps between flat and dome ports.
  • An integrated leak detection sensor that provides both audio and visual alerts.
  • Dual fiber-optic ports for external lighting.
  • Full compatibility with the pre-dive VPS-100 vacuum leak detection system.
  • Full support for the detachable 2-stage Shutter grip trigger.

For those needing better button feedback, clearer screen viewing, and tougher shock resistance, moving to the Salted Line A6xxx Gen 4 waterproof housing is a smart upgrade that keeps your existing port investments safe.
