This housing includes a complete Z7Ucamera (set at NTSC or PAL per your request). There is no charge for the camera which has been carefully configured to exactly fit into the housing. Various modifications have to be made to the camera in order to fit the housing properly and line up 100% so there is no issue of vignetting when you return to the edit suite.
