This lot comprises a SeaLife ReefMaster 35mm underwater camera kit with an external strobe flash. The camera is constructed from high-visibility yellow polycarbonate with a rubberised outer coating designed for grip and protection during submersion. The unit features a multi-coated lens and is fitted with a removable snap-on 3X close-up lens attachment. The kit includes an L-shaped black mounting bracket that secures the camera body to a SeaLife ReefMaster external strobe flash unit, which is integrated into a textured black handle. The entire system is housed in a padded yellow and black nylon carrying case featuring an adjustable shoulder strap and an internal mesh storage compartment containing desiccant packets.
The camera is marked to the front with the characters Sealife and ReefMaster in a stylised script, alongside a printed DUAL FLASH label. The lens bezel is inscribed with the text MOTORDRIVE and MULTI-FULLY MULTI-COATED, while the snap-on attachment is marked 3X. To the rear, the housing bears the embossed text MADE IN USA and a printed FLASH READY indicator. The flash unit carries the Sealife ReefMaster branding and is marked TEST near the adjustment knob. The carrying case is finished with a printed ReefMaster logo and a red and white diver-down flag icon.
Condition report:
The camera and external flash unit appear in good cosmetic condition with only minor surface scuffs consistent with light handling (photo 1). The yellow rubberised coating remains intact across the housing without evidence of significant degradation or tackiness (photo 2). The primary lens, the 3X close-up attachment, and the flash faces appear clear and free from visible scratches or internal fungus (photo 2 and 4). The carrying case shows minor external soiling and light wear to the fabric (photo 5). The mechanical functions, including the shutter and motor drive, are untested. The integrity of the waterproof O-rings and seals has not been verified; professional servicing is recommended before the kit is utilised underwater.
